NieR: Automata is, without a doubt, one of my most anticipated games of 2017. As who has enjoyed some of the past works of Taro Yoko (although I admittedly need to get around to Drakengard 1 and 2), I'm finding myself desperately hoping that this game turns out to be great. Of course, this also means that I've got a huge amount of interest in any and all bits of footage that I can find relating to it.
In a livestream hosted by both Square Enix and Dengeki, the publisher demonstrated around 20 minutes of footage from the upcoming action RPG by PlatinumGames. Some of the areas on display in this stream may be familiar to people who have seen previous pieces of footage of the game, but it does give us a better look at its combat system -- and some larger enemy encounters -- nonetheless.
The gameplay itself is split up into separate chunks, so if you’re only interested in watching NieR: Automata in action, you should skip to 14:05 - 18:25, 19:45 - 24:35, 25:40 - 26:40, and 31:30 - 44:05. That last chunk of gameplay is particularly important because it shows off 2B’s ability to traverse the environment on the back of a moose. This is something that I feel should be included in every video game from this point onwards.
