Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories is a game I by no means thought I’d see launched, not to mention localised and headed to PC. The newest in Irem’s quirky collection of catastrophe survival adventures, Disaster Report Four was initially canned late in manufacturing after the 2011 earthquakes in Japan, as a result of its material. Revived by ex-Irem crew Granzella and now to be localised by NIS America, they confirmed at present that there’s a PC model on the best way too, due in “early 2020”. Below, an English debut trailer that includes unusual folks dealing with nature’s catastrophic indifference.
Weirdly sufficient, the closest level of reference I’ve for the Disaster Report games is the Yakuza collection – they’ve received an oddly related really feel. Mostly set in modern-day Japan (until they’ve been awfully localised as Raw Danger), they’re high-drama adventure-RPGs. While in Yakuza the motion took the type of punching folks, on this one it’s figuring out risks, avoiding harm, offering assist to folks and selecting accountable, grown-up dialogue choices. This one casts the participant as a job-seeking newcomer, caught in the midst of a harmful earthquake and its ongoing aftershocks.
I’m particularly excited for the PC model of Disaster Report Four as a result of the unique Japanese model ran terribly on PS4. Whether as a result of optimisation points or the game simply being too bold for the console {hardware}, it will typically flip right into a stuttering mess. I’m assured {that a} trendy PC ought to be capable of brute power its approach by way of no matter {hardware} bottlenecks the unique console had, and provides us the most effective model of the game attainable. The PS4 model of the game supported PSVR, so right here’s hoping for VR help on PC.
Here’s hoping that Granzella’s collection spin-off – City Shrouded In Shadow – makes it to PC as effectively, though licensing points (it’s an Ultraman/Godzilla/Evangelion crossover) could forestall that.
There’s no launch date for Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories past “early 2020”, however you’ll be able to learn a bit extra on its original page here and NIS America’s new site here.
