Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories - PlayStation 4

If you're the kind that appreciates unique and intentionally niche games over forcefully appealing games with skyrocketing budgets, Disaster Report 4 is a game I recommend supporting as a sequel is in the works. Full of Japanese charm and an absurd amount of dialogue options, Disaster Report 4 focuses more on side quests and telling a touching, down-to-earth story than its slightly disappointing predecessor on the PSP. I hope you give this a try!Fun fact: This game was in development for roughly 10 years and was originally meant for the PS3 but was delayed due to a real-life earthquake hitting Japan at the same time it was meant to release. The developers used their shared experiences to create a new vision from the bones of the original experience! Also, this was going to be one of the few 3D games on PS3.

Let me say I was such a huge fan of Disaster Report 2, the only game in the franchise I've played. Still own it too. I've waited almost 20 years for this game and let me tell you, the game looks and controls just the same back then. None of the charm from the previous game like well I forgot but believe me, the choices that you make in the game just don't feel like they'll matter in the end. Now I thought maybe the VR would make up for it but nooo no no. I only had one area unlocked but that was enough for me to not want to play it again. The mode strips away all the NPCs from the area and you are basically just walking around in crappy graphics. Just go outside, people. That is where the real Disaster Report is.

Fun game

Package recieved in perfect condition. : )

I was disappointed when Irem canceled Disaster Report 4. I'd long been a fan of the first two games in the series with their ambitious, unpolished, and charming design. Fortunately, Granzella (founded by former Irem employees) ultimately finished and released this game.While I found the demo somewhat lackluster, I remained confident that I'd enjoy the game. And I certainly did. It feels like a PS2 game in many ways, from the clumsy menu system to the way you must sometimes wander aimlessly to discover what triggers the next objective. But if you can get past those things I think the game has a lot to offer.The tone shifts frequently, with scenes of death and depravity interspersed with absurdist humor. But these clashing elements work. The game has heart, even if things get too ridiculous for the characters to be particularly relatable.Few of your choices are significant to the story, but many of them are entertaining. Each of the two endings is unique and worth experiencing. (Just save before a final decision.) The epilogue is also worthwhile.If only Steambot Chronicles 2 would be similarly revived.

It took them a while to bring this game to the US (English) and what did you get for waiting? Full English voice overs? Nope. All that time for English subtitles and the same Japanese voice overs. Yep. The game is below average. Kind of boring at times. Visually, it's ok but it doesn't have much in the way of gameplay. Seems like they put more into the Visuals than the gameplay. This game is worth about $5 or $10 dollars. Don't pay more than that. If you do pay what I did, you will be very disappointed.

Its a really uninteresting game

I am writing it on here, BUt I bought it digitally on the SWitch. When I was first trying to get it, THe game was sold out. SO I had no choice, I love it so much, I plan to buy the ps4 version as well. I beat the game on the Switch and going through a second time. And the music in this game is so beautifully done, This is the first time I heard of this series. MAkes me wanna pull out my ps3 and try to find the older ones. If I can... lol
