Marooners' Rock Review: Binary Domain (PS3)

Chris writes: "Going into last year’s E3, I was a bit skeptical about Binary Domain. I have an unashamedly vocal love affair with the 2010 SEGA-published Platinum Games third-person shooter Vanquish, and hesitated at the thought of another third-person shooter published by SEGA, set in the future against robots. How could I help but be disappointed when I would naturally draw comparisons to Vanquish? Seeing what Binary Domain had to offer in more detail at E3 gave me a lot of hope for the title, and when the game arrived on my doorstep Friday evening, I was able to put that hope to the test."

I keep thinking that's the Black Veil Brides logo...

Totally worth buying this game. Love the Gameplay, graphics & cinematic :)

I like how the player can use their mic and communicate with their partners in the single player.

I was expecting this game to get low review scores, but after playing the game myself, I'm happy that I was wrong to think that way. Playing the game offline and having your partners do as you say with just your voice is looking good for the future of shooters.

A futuristic cover shooter??? 95/100??? No way... I don't believe it.

That's like saying Gears of War games are good.

MaroonersRock4858d ago

I can't stand Gears of War. I know that some people live and die by that series, but it just feels too slow and clunky for me.

As for a high scoring futuristic cover shooter, I can easily claim Vanquish, a third-person futuristic cover shooter, as precedent for a nearly perfect experience.

PersonMan4858d ago

I agree... I'm not a PlayStation fanboy (I play games on both systems), but I really tried to like Gears of War and I just didn't like it.

I wish Microsoft had something like Uncharted or Infamous on their platform because those are 2 of my favorite series of all time.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

cthulhucultist779d ago

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Vengeance1138779d ago

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot

pretty solid third person shooter played from start to finish, also there is another great third person shooter game from that time and very unique called Inversion.

porkChop830d ago

Inversion was cool. It was made by the same team behind TimeShift, another really cool but flawed shooter.

HeliosHex830d ago

Yeah this was a good game despite poor reviews.

Hofstaderman830d ago

I still have my copy. It’s a brilliant game despite the reviews.

Cyberpunk Backlog: Binary Domain - A Masterpiece by SEGA

Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the makers of the Yakuza games, Binary Domain is an extremely underrated cyberpunk third-person shooter. Directed by Toshihiro Nagoshi, the mastermind behind the famous Yakuza series, the game is quite different from his previous works. Nagoshi stated that he wanted to explore the themes of life, more specifically through the use of robots. It’s a cyberpunk-themed game, and the game has interesting views on technology, robots and how society would behave in such a world. There are numerous references to other cyberpunk works and fans of the genre will be pleasantly surprised.

I would love a sequel or remake of this game. Such a fun romp

JayRyu1917d ago

^Agreed

This was such an underrated game. I liked the story and some of the action scenes were really good.

Gamehard1917d ago

I've always wanted to play this game. Huge fan of Vanquish and a few of my friends have always recommended trying this, too. I think I even have it on steam and PS3 but just never made time :( The backlog struggle is real.

DerfDerf1917d ago

This game was awesome. So satisfying the way the robots broke into pieces.

SovereignSnaKe1917d ago (Edited 1917d ago )

I'm looking at my copy right now. I got rid of a bunch of 360 games years ago but I just couldn't part with this one. It was really something special. I've recommended it to several people over the years and almost all of them have never even heard of it.
