WTMG's Leo Faria: "This might be one of the most disappointing gaming experiences I’ve ever had. There are very small hints of a brilliant game in Disaster Report 4, but they’re quickly overshadowed by terrible graphics, controls, characters, and one of the worst framerates I’ve ever seen in a PS4 game. You can’t even say this was a rushed job considering it originally came out in Japan two years ago. It just stayed there, untouched and unpolished, until it eventually got localized and released in the West. This could have easily been a potential cult hit, but it just ended up being a laughing stock and one of the worst games released in 2020 so far."
Disaster Report 4 might be technically lacking in a lot of areas, but it is stuffed full of heart.
A great game hope its successful enough to warrant a sequel, I also wouldn't mind that natural disaster game made by the same director game that involved classic Japanese super heroes and monsters translated for the West.
TSA writes: "Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories has faced a lot of bad luck on its decade-long path to release. Initially in development back in 2010 for the PlayStation 3, the survival game set during the aftermath of a massive earthquake in Japan was set to release on March 10 of 2011. The game was already delayed from that date when the massive Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami occurred in Japan on March 11; Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories was outright canceled just a few days later."
This game is actually great, it’s a great B level game that I missed sorely during the PS2 days. It’s definitely worth a shot if you ever Played the first two on PS2 or enjoy niche games outside of the AAA and indie space.
William says: "While Disaster Report 4 is a very stiff and jerky game, it is at least entertaining. Just don't try to play it twice."
