"Few video games manage to release without issues but when it comes to Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories, it almost seemed like it would never see the light of day. Originally announced back in 2010 for the PlayStation 3, a devastating earthquake struck Japan in 2011 and, considering the title is focused around surviving during a massive string of earthquakes, the game was eventually cancelled by its original developer Irem only to be revived years later by a new owner in the form of Granzella. Now years later Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories has managed to be released during another significant problem sweeping the world, bringing at least a few unique points to light but is this disaster game worth checking out?"
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.

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."
