Originial PS3 version (US, 2010) vs. Replicant ver.1.22...

[LordBritish284]

Hey guys, I made a short graphical comparison of the original PS3-NieR from 2010 (US version) with this NieR Replicant™ ver.1.22474487139... Steam version:

I did not use the Japanese console versions ("NieR Gestalt" or "NieR Replicant"), so the hero is the father instead of the brother. But besides that difference, what do you think of the games in comparison?

why did they de-age the protaginist like 30 years.

They didn't.

The game originally came out on the PS3 in Japan as Nier Replicant. The management at the American Square Enix offices wanted a more mature and gruff hero so they made Papa Nier who was the protagonist in Nier released in the West and Nier Gestalt which came out on the Xbox 360 in Japan.

Other countries are paying more for the game

Great video. It even goes up to 4k :P I'm surprised how big of an improvement it is. Those textures are sweeeeeet.

I think you made a lil error at 2:26. It shows Yonah on the left and Kaine on right.

REGIONAL pricing.

Game costs not lowered other countries. Almost being equal to half or a whole week's wages in some cases.

You wouldn't blow half of a 40-hour work-week's worth of wages on a new video game, would you?

honestly im kinda prefering original nier i do like the original nier comabt better it wasnt clunky to me and felt more realistic then what replicant does weith the speed he can fight its more like 9s 2b a2 found a chip and are reliving the past because the shades are rising once again and they had to learn the past to understand the new enemies

But how is this the games/devs fault? I'm pretty sure they do not control regional pricing, right?

The developer lists it on the market, they control the price of their own game on this storefront, not the storefront itself. Thus it is the developer's fault for their pricing.

SqEnix has also had this problem of regional overpricing with several other titles (Ocotpath Traveller being a similar case to this one, if not even more egregious since it was actually over $60 in value in several countries).

And if you want a real laugh they actually lost a lot of potential sales with their pricing of Octopath in the Eastern European and Russian steam storefront (was literally $60 worth of respective nation's currencies IIRC), since that game has low system requirements and most people in such nations have weaker PCs than other places. Said lower quality PCs is the reason for popularity of older games in such nations, if you ever wondered that.

Not entirely, both Gestalt and Replicant did release in Japan at the same time, while only Gestalt was the one ported. They were still pressurised but its not simple an American and an Japanese version, at least not 100% of it... kind of a shame we never got dad redone too.

Publisher is the one who pick the prices.
Steam gives them a price suggestion based on Region, which is the Regional Pricing, the publisher decides if they want to use that price or not.

The developer is Square Enix, Square enix chooses the price that goes on the store. If not them then who? Valve? This isn't wal-mart, the company or person who puts the game on the store-front decides the price and valve takes a cut that decreases with sales numbers.
