Nier Replicant/Gestalt is one of my favorite games of all time. It's one of the few games to ever make me cry. I'd love if the Gestalt version and father Nier's character could still be experienced by new players
While the RepliCant version of NieR is playable on PCs via the ver.1.22474487139... remaster, the Gestalt version is locked to the PS3 and X360. Players of the remastered RepliCant version only see this version of Nier in a side-mode that was originally DLC. It'd also let more people experience what NieR was like in its original state, as opposed to its remastered state.

Would love to immortalize Papa NieR as he is my preferred version although it's not canon. Definitely not as playable as it's remake, but still a solid gem nontheless. Definitely my favorite game in the franchise next to Drakengard 3.

One of my favorite games of all time now it’s not as popular as the other NieR games but it holds a very special place in my heart and hope this game can return in any form
This is one of my favorite games of all time. A beautifully written game, with excellent characters. Music that will stick with you for the rest of your life. It deserves to be preserved and remembered, not replaced by a subpar remake.

One of the last true reasons for me to still have my 360. The Gestalt version never got the remake it deserved, so at the very least it should be preserved on PC.
the other side of the story. the side that never should've existed. but it did, and it is an extremely unique take on the story. father Nier can be argued that he doesn't fit the story whatsoever because this story was made around the brother, and yes you would be right. he feels out of place with the cast especially with Kaine and Emil and considering how old they are, and all the sibling motifs around the game what with Devola and Popola, Gideon and Jakob, etc. that being said, you cant help but love father Nier, there is something about a man who has been through so much throughout his whole life, his wife gone and only his daughter to protect, the "only sane guy" in his crew so to speak. it's such a unique perspective on the game that i cant help but admire. i still heavily prefer brother Nier for many reasons, but i would love to see this version of the game (and also the PS3 version of RepliCant) on PC as every single version of this masterpiece of a game is worth playing and have their own merits. a slim chance, but i still hope it happens nonetheless. "It's like I just found something special. Something very special."
My first experience with this game was Gestalt with "papa Nier" on PS3. I loved it and I'm afraid this version has been abandoned for good. So I really wish it could be published (and saved) on GoG, for lack of a remake or remaster.

NieR/Gestalt is the version that myself in the west got chance to play. Yes, the story was written more for brother > father however It felt a slight bit more real having a father protagonist. Another reason I'd love to preserve this version is maybe a hot take but the original OST, some songs just hit better/harder in this version, I'm looking at you E/S (if you know, you know).

Countdown Vampires
Countdown VampiresBecause Capcom's Resident Evil single-handedly created the modern survival horror genre, the critically acclaimed adventure spawned countless sequels and clones. Conceived by Bandai Digital Entertainment, Countdown Vampires is one of those clones -- you will maneuver 3D characters throughout 2D backgrounds in a series of fixed camera angles while fending off unspeakable horrors. As a police officer, Keith J. Snyder has been assigned a security position at the grand opening of Desert Moon -- a hotel casino with a horror theme located in Casino City. While overseeing security and making sure VIPs aren't being hurt at the dance club, something goes horribly wrong. As a sudden fire causes sprinklers to go off, the water turns black and transforms the dancers into murderous vampire monsters. Assuming the role of the brave police detective, a civic servant and the last remaining human alive, Snyder must unravel the mysteries of the black water while defending himself against multiple monstrosities. Armed initially with a tranquilizer gun, a shock glove and an unlimited supply of vampire-destroying white water, Keith J. Snyder will find and utilize twelve weapons and items throughout the course of his adventure. Also located throughout the hotel casino are computer terminals, maps of the area and vending machines in which helpful items are sold; at computer terminals, he can access an e-mail program that furthers the storyline. In Countdown Vampires, Snyder's physical health is represented by a color-based condition gauge found in the inventory screen; green indicates a healthy body, yellow represents wounded and red coloring is fatal as Snyder approaches death. You can heal the character using various health items found throughout the casino. In addition to looking out for your character's health, you will solve various puzzles and seek out specific keys and cards for locked doors.
