This is basically like saying why do BC on 360 games. There's a market, it may be small but Square may see some profits from it and gain a playerbase on another console depending on how it is released. If you are a 3rd party, it's almost always better to have your game everywhere instead of a single platform.
I personally am looking forward to seeing if it happens or not, if it does, I hope for BC on the first one so I can start there.
seeing how it ran on ps4 it's gonna be weird having a super blurry 720p mode and a x enhanced mode(assuming 4k)
My second sentence was in reference to the market for Nier: Automata as a JRPG selling on Xbox.1 billion troops, I mean hours played through BC is not small. NieR as a bonus would be nice.
I still can't believe I paid full price for this game. I fell for GAF's hype. Never again.
Well tbf he said in both cases than One version are only guesses in absence of more informations... So that means nothing concerning this caseEpyon is a joke lol.
He kept saying FFVII Remake, DQXI and NieR Automata were coming to Xbox One long ago. You can close the thread.

I've never see a big audience for such a late port, especially on Xbox where i've never seen a big audience for Japanese games, especially JRPGs. Especially after all the ridiculous downplaying of these types of games i saw last year as they were coming out from the Xbox audience online.
So as for sales, i can't really claim that i personally think it'll be worth it for SE, but just the fact that some people who would refuse to buy it on PC or PS4 will now buy it on Xbox because its available is a nice thing indeed
I played it last week on PC and it is great. Hopefully this is true and more people experience the game. But just looking at achievements on Steam only a fraction of people really beat it to see how great the game even is.
A relatively low budget and very Japanese game releasing a year late on Xbox One after being available on PS4 and PC? I'll be surprised if it sells more than 100,000 copies.
You gave it an 8/10.It's got some interesting stuff going on that I appreciated, but it's definitely overrated. It definitely doesn't deserve a massive thread for a rumoured 18 month overdue Xbox One port, but I guess this is where we're at now. Haha!
Not a port-beg in saying this, but I think it would sell better on Switch port-wise - more of an audience for it.
Spencer's talks must be vaguely paying off then.
Would be surprised if it hits 4K, that's difficult even on high end PC's, more likely it's 1440/1620p, around that level.seeing how it ran on ps4 it's gonna be weird having a super blurry 720p mode and a x enhanced mode(assuming 4k)
*points at Street Fighter V*I don't think I will ever believe in 3rd party PS4 exclusivity anymore.
I feel the same way. However, I am so thankful for this game because of its GOAT-tier soundtrack. Otherwise, yes, I couldn't care less about the game. It's not terrible (it's pretty good), but I do not see how it is GOTY 2017 (my opinion). Still, it'd be nice if more people had the chance to play it.I still can't believe I paid full price for this game. I fell for GAF's hype.
Never again.

Weird business decision if true. It'll sell maybe 2 copies lifetime.

Yes this, they have already did that with some games.Maybe make it BC (if it isn't already) and then give it away as a preorder bonus??
Update: Other sources confirmed to me that a port of NieR: Automata is indeed currently in development.
Lol, I've been the victim of that many, many times.I still can't believe I paid full price for this game. I fell for GAF's hype.

What are yall referring to with the downplay thing? Whats the source?
Monster Hunter world would have you thinking otherwise
Even more so during 2014-16 when these types of niche games was available in droves while first and 3rd party games were still lacking. You often heard, these games don't matter, as defence at the possibility of people buying PS4 over XB1 because of it's diverse library with Japanese games.
A more recent one from last year
"WTF is a Yakuza?"
lol."

And a lot of those same people downplaying these games would be over the moon for them if they were to hit the Xbox.I can't recount the amount of dismissals of Nier A, Nioh and tons of other Japanese games last year from Xbox users, "who cares about these niche/weeb games", "X major western game will sell more than all of these niche games combined", "i'm not into -insert monolithic generalization of an entire game pantheon- anyway"
It was infuriating strictly because of my own personal preferences for games needing to have a nice balance between western games and Japanese to see such closed thinking on different experiences
Three things...
How often does this source get shit correct?
Dit it ever receive Pro support?
I remember people on Gaf back then and here too being ecstatic about it but why? Genuine question, what makes it so good?
Not our fault you can't let love into your heart.I still can't believe I paid full price for this game. I fell for GAF's hype.
Never again.
Why?I've had it for ps4 since launch but haven't played it. I'd definitely play it on xbox
