- Yoko Taro, the director of NieR: Automata, has stated that Stellar Blade is much better than his title.
- He admitted that it makes him ‘quite jealous’ because it has a great concept and amazing graphics.
- The director appears to have a lot of respect for Shift Up.
Stellar Blade hasn’t even arrived yet, but it’s been a topic of discussion ever since the announcement. Shift Up recently dropped a demo, which garnered tons of appreciation from the audience as well as the critics.
The game is getting so much praise that the director of NieR: Automata, Yoko Taro, has admitted that Stellar Blade is better than his own title.
Why it matters: Stellar Blade draws a lot of inspiration from NieR: Automata and Yoko Taro’s work. Therefore, it must be a huge deal for the director to receive words of praise from this iconic personality.
Yoko Taro’s comment refers to the fact that the game has next-gen graphics and a brilliant overall concept.
In an interview with IGN, he admitted that Stellar Blade seems like the better game. The director has been acquainted with Hyung-Tae Kim since Magna Carta, and he’s a fan of the work.
Stellar Blade actually makes me quite jealous.
-Yoko Taro
He further admitted that Hyung-Tae Kim is already quite popular in Japan. Yoko Taro even went as far as to say that most people would pick Stellar Blade over NieR: Automata if they had no prior knowledge of the two.
Overall, it’s great to see an industry veteran appreciating another studio for its great work. In a world where competition has become the driving force, a healthy rivalry and being appreciative of others’ content is always a welcome change.
NieR: Automata was released in 2017 and is still selling well.
As gamers anticipate Stellar Blade’s release, Yoko Taro is rumored to be working on his own sequel to NieR: Automata. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how the IPs compare in the future.
