Stellar Blade X NieR: Automata: Yoko Taro and Hyung-Tae Kim on How Their Blockbusters Inspire One Another
- Thread starter Lamine
- Start date
I love Yoko Taro as a visionary but he cant make the actual gameplay of a game if his life depended on it - I say this as a fan from OG Nier.
He sees a girl he thinks is hot and he probably likes the game.
...More seriously though, its an interview with the other team, so you'd be crazy to call their game anything less than good.

Pretty much. Taro is a gross perv and when he's openly saying "the cuteness of the girl is more important than any design choices" it makes it clear where his priorities lie.
He's also known for being very self-deprecating, as the full interview also reminds us of
It was the best game I played last gen, so it actually would say a lot. Well, not that I believe it at all, he's just being polite ofc
Always appreciate someone who knows their strengths and can be honest about it but this is a little dispiriting. I'd hoped the story might be a bit more interesting than what we've seen so far, that there might be some unique twists to come. But makes it seem like that's not the case. Not a deal breaker but it'll manage my expectations
Yoko Taro talks shit about himself and his own work all the time. I don't think him saying this is indicative to the quality of Stellar Blade or Nier Automata one way or the other.
"Shops in RPGs often have a close-up shot of the shopkeeper, which I don't like because I think it feels unnatural. Stellar Blade has a shot like that too, but the shopkeeper was so cute that I didn't mind! Her cuteness felt more important than any design choices."
I'm uncomfortable.
I'm uncomfortable.
Yoko Taro don't even hide the fact he is a perv. XD
btw; Suzi has finished the game.

If SB is half as good as Automata i'm gonna be more than happy with it. Fun interview btw, was an enjoyable read.
No way she did, she would be breaking review embargo with a tweet like that.

Same guy who said his character designs are the way they are because "I like boobs" Yeah, his comment tracks.
Yoko Taro only ever insults his own work and talent. It's one of his many gimmicks. Reading too deep into this would be a mistake, Yoko Taro would likely say ANY game is better than his. He always presents himself as shallow and his success as a mistake. Not that this is going to stop people from being obnoxious in this thread, of course.
Never thought this game would get what feels like unanimous gameplay praise. Pretty cool to see
Well I believe Stellar Blade is really good game but isn't NieR Automata one of the best games ever made?
Edit: Never played NieR Automata but I heard the praise a lot.

Honestly fuck IGN Japan for doing this interview and Eurogamer for pushing it out. You know exactly why they're doing this interview. They're doing this interview because the headline "hey the knockoff Nier Automata game may actually be better than Nier itself!" sells itself and Yoko Taro will very easily give you that between him being self-deprecating and him being horny-on-main.
I would honestly call this bad-faith reporting. They're just trying to pretend Yoko Taro has any bigger insight than "look at the sexy anime tiddies" in order to help sell people on Stellar Blade. Fuck that.

Nah, Automata is nowhere near that level but it's probably better than Stellar Blade (which might still be a good game).
Uhh can she do that? How is this not breaking embargo?
"Mortal Kombat Advance is in many ways better than Automata."
Look Taro, you can't just give me such an easy opportunity to shitpost on Automata, it's almost too easy, I feel like doing so simply plays into his strange auteur hands, like how I was allowed to leave the message for my Automata's endgame credits support bot as something along the lines of "this game sucked"
I think I'm getting a sick dunk in, somehow though he's got the last laugh!

Calling a character "cute" is "beyond creepy" now?
Man, this place sometimes.
Should probably link to the actual IGN interview instead:

It's a fairly interesting interview.
Stellar Blade X NieR: Automata: Yoko Taro and Hyung-Tae Kim on How Their Blockbusters Inspire One Another - IGN
We talk to Yoko Taro and Hyung-Tae Kim about the ways that Stellar Blade is inspired by NieR: Automata, comparisons between EVE and 2B, and much more.

Yea I thought this would've been what someone would make a thread about, but I was naive and forgot the easy headline other articles would roll with
I look forward to finding out next week. Been having a great time with the demo (and the unintended content that can be glitched into).
I was debating making a thread but held off. Turns out I probably should have. lol
Yeah, no. I wish he kept his pervyness to himself or made it less of a characteristic of his tbh, because that shit makes it harder to enjoy Nier games. Automata is a great game and would've been a great game even if 2B's outfit was less revealing (it isn't that bad actually).
When someone can deliver another E Ending maybe until then It's a masterpiece
Idk, if ''SB is not on the level of X game'' without any other details counts as breaking the embargo.
