I am dead ass when I say that Infinity Nikki is probably going to be the biggest video game of 2024 and if you ignore it because it’s “just a dress up game,” the egg is coming for your face.

I think the fact that it LOOKS like a traditional open world game will help it a lot. Still will probably be a small market compared to China but I think it’ll be a real breakthrough in the US.
Idk about "biggEST" but its def gonna be big. I love the franchise but struggle to see a world where infinikki gets mainstream yk? I m sure its gonna do very well but aint no way its gonna b idk, genshin levels.
I hear ya, but it feels like “right place right time” to me. Dress up genre is having a huge mainstream moment with Dress to Impress, and the market for Chinese console games is booming. Kind of at the perfect cross section of profitable 2024 trends. Plus the free factor. Curious to see how it does.
Yknow what i didnt even consider that. I m excited either way, i'm glad the nikki franchise is doin so well as to get a huge high budget game like this.... maybe we ll get that animated movie sometime too
I had a ton of fun in the beta, there are some quirks to ok. out I think but it’s going to be huge!! and It is legitimately filling a gap in the market
I was interested until I found out that despite it being a dress-up game, you can't change any other of your appearance- kinda wanted a game where I could go around looking super cute with a character that looks like me, but know that would've been way more to add to the game ofc, so I digress 🥲
If u d like a dress up game w more inclusivity, Life Makeover lets u change the way your body/ face looks! It's not the Best (it s still a chinese dress up game after all) but it s worth trying! I managed to make a guy even.
Nikki will always be nikki as a preset character but you can change her hair, skin and eye color whenever. hair is tied to clothing and quests but skin tone changes are available to start
Thank you for this info!! Was hoping they had the same approach as how Hatsune Miku is presented for example - them saying, Hatsune Miku is Hatsune Miku, but can be interpreted in different ways/looks, etc. to appeal to all. esp. with Infinity Nikki being a dress up game
Speaking to that: I did encounter a couple of times in the beta where Nikki was “reset” in pre-rendered story cutscenes (in- game engine cutscenes remain as you set it) but I did leave feedback about wanting variations of these scenes so that the skin tone isn’t be reverted, as it is not a cosmetic
No problem! Nikki isn’t really a mallable mascot like miku, she’s got a backstory, set personality traits and the nikki games have all had story components and are kinda infamous for throwing surprisingly serious story beats, so she’s Been Through Some Stuff too,
It’s bc you play as Nikki & she’s an established character so it’s more RPG-style in that way! But they did show in the PC beta that skintone &eye color are something you can change! I don’t know how varied it gets or if those two aspects are also gacha, but they will exist in the game in some form.
You have to unlock more outfits and stuff. There will be hairstyles that have different hair colors. Try Love Nikki or Shining Nikki on mobile to see, those are two previous games in the series.
I got extremely obsessed and anxious over that game for the first 6 months after it came out so I had to delete it and I won't allow myself to redownload it and spend money.
If they made it a console game omg they'd have my heart
I'm sure they will be, but it does at least look like the core open-world game doesn't require any of that. That part feels more welcoming to casual players.
I got Super Mario Wonder and Fashion Dreamer at the same time. Wonder collected dust while Dreamer got a great many sleepless nights of playtime. Even if Infinity Nikki was "just a dress up game" I'd still be all over it.
those of us who've been following Nicki since 2017 have been waiting for this moment for many years and if that is the starting place, you're already making more money the most games.
Especially with China emerging as such a massive, hungry market for traditional console games this year, feel like this could sincerely make Black Myth’s success look modest.
I was excited until someone said it'd be a gacha game. If it has any paid gacha I'm out and don't give a fuuuck how big it is. Will never support that kind of monetization, not even with a download.
Now if it has just has in-game currency gacha or none at all, I can be excited again.
I'm interested but apparently it's coming out only for the PS5, no PS4. Seems we're already at that stage, they're not going to release games for the PS4 anymore :/ So I guess I'll check out this game in a few years when PS5 prices become reasonable.
I mean "just a dress up game" would be more than enough considering how much time we spend dressing our characters in other games like animal crossing, destiny, ff14 ^^ but yes definitely don't dismiss it!
honestly I was sold when I saw someone demonstrating that the game has in-depth clothing physics, but absolutely zero chest movement. about time someone pointed out that that's really not the way those things move in real life.
no, your female character's chest should NOT be hitting her in the face every time she jumps. we need to hire someone to walk around game companies with a spray bottle for anyone who seems to be getting too enthusiastic with the weight painting.
I’M KINDA SCARED BECAUSE I’VE HEARD THERE’S A GACHA AND LOVE NIKKI’S/SHINING NIKKI’S GACHAS TERRIFIES ME… but the game does genuinely look pretty so I’m hoping everything works out o7
It’s def a classic gacha game, but from what I understand the core game is a normal cozy open world game that you don’t have to spend a dime on. Gacha stuff seems to be tied to outfits.
To be honest, I think the gatcha for this will be the equivalent of Love Nikki’s gatcha or more intense. I saw a reddit post about info on it and included pictures that looked pretty legit, but as it’s not official.. do retain some doubt.

But also, going to be amazing, it was so fun when I got a glimpse of it
Now if it has just has in-game currency gacha or none at all, I can be excited again.
