Crazy. I'm delighted that it's sold so well (it's a brilliant game) but like... Square-Enix don't assume that Yoko Taro's next game is gonna do these numbers lol
If I'm not completely misremembering they were just hiring for scenario writers and planners to support Yoko Taro since he can't handle all the stories in the actual games plus all the collaborations he's involved in now on his own.The reason I ask is because Square Enix was hiring for a NieR-related project a couple of years ago. So doesn't seem like Platinum will be involved, but hoping we might hear something regardless.
If he re-teams with PG (or another respected studio) and it's a good game? Why not? They're gonna be saying it's from Automata's director at every opportunity regardless of who makes it.
What's funny is that to get Automata greenlit, Yosuke Saito had to threaten Square-Enix by saying he would quit if they wouldn't let Yoko Taro make another game.SE is even getting Yoko Taro to make a series of Automata 24-man dungeons in their MMO. They defo think he has the Midas touch now lol.
People should thank those 300.000 polygons, they did all the heavy lifting for the game.
I don't know about Switch sales but Bayonetta 1 and 2 didn't really do well when they were originally released.
I bought it 1 or 2 years after release for 2€ in Germany, but maybe it did well in other markets.
The game did another 500k in the last 5 months? Damn those are some incrediblethighslegs.

People talking about remasters in this thread are probably talking about the original NieR, which was released almost a decade ago.I've never understood the fixation some people have on remakes. It's understandable when we're talking about an old game or of previous generation which there would really be enough space to work on a remaster, but a 2 year old game like Automata, and people mention "Oh please bring me a remaster", like WTF, how about a new title? Why should funds go to the remaster of a 2 freaking years old game when it can be put into making a brand new Nier title. I've always read posts that ask for remasters of 2-3 year old games of the current generation that it makes me angry.
You will be one of us soon.I bought the GotY addition yesterday in PSN. Maybe I was number 4 million. 😀
Really enjoying it so far.

It would make sense if so, but hasn't been specified. And like I said, this is not the only case.People talking about remasters in this thread are probably talking about the original NieR, which was released almost a decade ago.
Please let that be one of the e3 reveals at the square enix conference.
I started a new game. I'm ready to play through it a little slower this time. It's just as nice the second time through.
I have played it four times now, last time just recently in linux :)
If anything it gets better...
Lot's of subtle things you don't catch the first time.
Taro will have all the alcohol he wants to write more tales with these sales!
