To mark the game’s tenth anniversary, a Nier Replicant remaster was announced for the PS4, Xbox One, and Steam. Let’s see how the game, so far, stacks up against the PlayStation 3 original.

While there could be slight differences in the final retail version, the comparison shows that the remaster has undergone a good polish graphics-wise.

This is obvious, of course, but seeing what exactly was changed is fascinating. Plus, the remaster seems closer visually to Nier: Automata.

The remaster, titled Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139..., does have a host of other changes, including fully voiced dialogue, a rearranged musical score, and new story elements, among other additions.

DISCUSSION

I loves Nier: Automata, and never played the original. I’m really interested to play it, but I also really hate Kaine’s outfit. It is objectively terrible. I wonder if there will be an alternate costume, I would take anything over that design..
