Disaster gets first review, Famitsu rates the game highly

It's not typically an encouraging sign when a company hides their game from the press. Disaster: Day of Crisis has fallen down that path, but in this case, it doesn't necessarily mean the game is terrible. Actually, based on the first review from Famitsu, Day of Crisis might be much better than the average game...

[TruthbeTold]

I'm becoming more and more optimistic. We'll see how it all turns out.

[jorgeanaya000]

That's a weird scale.
But that is pretty exciting, It's getting more likely that I'll buy this game.

[cpt]

The famitsu scoring system has 4 reviewers to each give the game a score out of 10. The final score is the sum. So 34/40 could be something like 9 9 8 8, which is indeed not bad at all.

[pwnsause]

thats really good. cant wait to play it.

[forum_crawler]

I can't wait to play this game. I think it looks very promising

[cooke15]

Wow things are really turning around for Wii. 09 is going to be great

[SackMan]

09 is gonna suck more wang than a russian whore
there is nothing that promising for the hardcore

[cooke15]

The Conduit
Madworld
Tenchu 4
Fatal Frame 4
Disaster Day of Crisis
Oburo Muramasa
Kizuna
Monster Hunter 3
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the new world

House of the Dead: Overkill
Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Overlord

yep nothing for hardcore gamers there

[razorbladelight]

but for someone who has a pic of a platforming ragdoll i dunno where your hardcore gaming comes from. I dunno, Mario has been jumping on platforms for well over twenty five years and people like you don't consider him hardcore. a game about shooting things comes out on the wii and the ps has manhunt, fallout, and a million other fps and all of a sudden ANOTHER fps isn't so hardcore anymore. Man PS3 fanboys need to all shut the hell up and let every other console player enjoy their games. The PS3 sucks deal with it in another way other than spreading your sour grapes everywhere.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, PS3 fanboys just need to lighten up.

[cooke15]

exactly. I dont see wii fans going to ps3 news and bashing it. People who are content with what they have tend to mind their own business.

[Roddur]

do u know anything about oboro muramasa? when it's coming out? man that game look so beautiful.

[CrazzyMan]

that this list may satisfy my hardcore games need on wii.
now, just Nintendo should made it cost 150-200 euro, or remove that Wii sport bundle, since i am not in that kind of gaming,
i like to sit and relax after work, when i play games. =)

[Game Whisper]

yeah you're a real mature gamer. how the hell did you report get into the gamer zone. n4g staff should audit it

[AWBrawler]

Wii fans mind their own business, cause we're rather spend time playing great games, than fussing about bad games.

I do believe I stated in the Wario thread, that I think this game is gonna be atleast a 9, and so far, I'm right!

[Nugan]

Yeah, I've noticed that the Wii fans on the site aren't nearly as aggressive about flaming other systems as the PS3/360 fans. Mostly they seem to stick to the Wii section and defend their system/games. I wonder why that is.

Anyway, D: DoC looks promising. I just hope that it offers some real level of freedom and exploration in its disaster area stages. My greatest fear is that the game will be on rails and overdependent on quicktime events. Still, it's too early to know for sure, and I'm keeping my hopes up.

Does anyone has a translation of the text of this review? That might say more about the quality of the game than the number.

[N4g_null]

Nugan Seriously the HD fanboy fights have no bearing on what is truly good. The games they play and like are actually looked down upon by many gamers as just plain boring or dumbed down. A mediocre game will get a great review because it has better shaders this is the main reason why HD gaming is looked down on. The same game on the PC would get it's a$$ handed back to it after getting it chewed.

If you look thur most of the post you will see people being excited about graphics and scripted events instead of talking about how you got trapped and used your smarts to get out of that trap in an impressive way.

The HD guys talk more about the war than the games they like. Most real gamers don't want to talk to a gamer like that. The real hardcore don't care about the war and they realize it is not up to them to fight and no one is loyal.

[Final_Rpg]

Well if it's any consolation, from the limited pictures that have been released it looks awesome.

[ChickeyCantor]

"It's not typically an encouraging sign when a company hides their game from the press"

Say hello to Nintendo, its what they will do with all their games from now on...
Even miyamoto can't talk about his ideas.

Nice scor =D

[ReeBlock]

Nice to see something different

[PS360WII]

Cool beans. This game did kind of sneak into the retail shelf but as Nintendo believes they need to market more to the blue ocean gamers rather then those of us who want games like Disaster for we already know it's coming out and therefore they don't need to advertise it ;)

[ChickeyCantor]

The thing is they didn't do anything until the release date was coming close.

this game was announced at launch.
I can understand the "Nintendo isn't making core games" ( although it sounds stupid as hell) because they hardly show anything.

[N4g_null]

I like this a lot better than every one know what you are making and deciding to steal off of it and make a horrible version of it. As a gamer I like this because I'm not waiting on some game to come out. I can play what I have and get a surprise rather than hype up a game till release.

I like to see some pics then see the rest when the game is actually being released simply because the reviews are very noob like these days. I just can not trust them.

[DanteLinkX]

Can't wait for this game, we all should support this =D! Looks really epic.

[chanmasta]

... can't wait for this game!!!

I totally agree with cooke15, AWBrawler, Nugan and razorbladelight.

From this friday onwards, Wii owners can enjoy the whole load of fantastic games, i'm getting Wario Land: Shake/Shake It/Shake Dimension, (the one in my damn region!) and also de Blob, two brilliant games coming THIS WEEK in UK! Can't wait!!!!

Come to me The Conduit! Come to me!

[TheColbertinator]

Mazing.Great review score.Its about around the 8.5-9.4 range so I expect awesomeness :)

[poeo]

also in Famitsu:

Haze 34/40
Lair 34/40

(im not kidding, go look it up)

so i wouldnt exactly get your hopes up just yet..

[Durffen]

I do have to agree. Although I wish for nothing but success for Disaster, and I plan on purchasing it, but everyone does have to remember that Haze and Lair received the same scores as Disaster.

I'm still hoping for the best though.

[poeo]

yeah i dont have any ill will against this game either, that would be childish. i was just being the messenger heh. dont want people (fellow gamers) to be too disappointed if it doesnt deliver.

[Durffen]

I know what you mean.

[N4g_null]

LOL great point!

Yet just from the promos I can tell there may be some great game play in there. They have driving segments and light gun parts almost with free roaming parts. Should be good but MH3 and other games will crush it possible. Hey but it should be pretty good though.

[dib8rman]

Free Radical and Factor 5 aren't Nintendo. =)

Btw this is an action/shooter. ^_^ I believe it has a mode or is on the rails also.

[Game Whisper]

this game was first announced around the release of the wii, and i was very interested about it. then, nothing surfaced for a freakin long time. finally some news about it, and i'm still intrigued.

Disaster rating:most likely T
The Conduit rating: i would think M but possibly T
House of the dead overkill rating: M
Dead Rising C'tu'D rating: M
MadWorld rating: M

yeap, looking good on the hardcore (boy you flamers need to do some research like the rest of us. i flame games that deserve to be flamed aka bad ones, not consoles. every console has bad games, like viva pinata on 360 or just about every game on the ps3 except COD4, Assassins Creed, and MGS4)

if i'm missing anything please add

[Killjoy3000]

I wish I can be positive,but the Wii still has got nothin' on the PS3 line-up. But hey, Wii fans, grab this game for sure.

[N4g_null]

I know I feel the same way about your system, but I don't have to post there to let you know that. Good luck with mega 9 on your controller but hey you probably never beat a mega man game any way so i'm sure your not even thinking about getting it. Way to much of a challenge there. LBP is more your speed. Plus it has fuzzy graphics and plays like a bunch of beanbags. What is funny is they could have made that game on the Wii at SD resolution.
Hey I've seen the list of games you would post and none of those will make me buy a PS3.

[Product]

"I know I feel the same way about your system, but I don't have to post there to let you know that."
lol classic.

[Blink_44]

Can't wait =)

[BLuKhaos]

Haven't heard much about this game.What is it about?

[Mahr]

From Wikipedia:

"The game revolves around Raymond Bryce, a former US Marine and International Rescue Team member, now living the quiet life of a public servant. When terrorist organization SURGE (STORM in Japan) steals a nuclear weapon and kidnaps the sister of his late best friend, Raymond takes the initiative to go after the group while also trying to survive various natural disasters and threats such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, volcanoes and wild animals that the terrorists have taken advantage of to cover their escape"

[BLuKhaos]

Oh ok.It seems like a great game.Thanks,here is a bubble for your help.

[Marcus Fenix]

that wii owners are the most civilized ppl in here, I wish all other console owners were like u guys.

[BrotherNick]

Well it's because we have no direct competitors, like how the 360 and ps3 are competitors, we just like our wiis, and mostly keep to ourselves. We just get annoyed at people like killjoy who needs a life instead of harassing us wii owners.

[SeraphimBlade]

a reason other than ToS to not sell my Wii? excellent. speakin of which, i feel a Zelda binge coming on...

[cooke15]

None of the games other than TOS interest you that I listed?

[cooke15]

Wow I have 9 bubbles.. I guess im popular lol.

[BrotherNick]

I know lol, us wii fans just pass each other bubbles, more than harass the ps360 invaders. :O

[- The Corrupt -]

This'll be the 36th comment on this news story, and it's been a very nice discussion so far. Kudos to you all. ^_^

I remember being very excited back when this game was announced. I mean, we had this, Project HAMMER and Sadness to look forward to as staple games to add to the collection. With Sadness all but disappeared (the vague Q3 2009 release date doesn't sit well with me) and Project HAMMER, well, hammered, I was getting kind of worried myself. But now that Disaster is back, I'm very happy again. My faith in the Wii is slowly restoring.

It's a very unique game, and it's very promising. All I can say is "Bring it on!" :D

[Gr81]

Most Wii owners/fans I've seen on the site usually have mature comments that make sense. Alot of them have a keen knowledge of how the industry works and can provide sources and insight. Like Mahr, or ScissorRunner, I look forward to reading their posts because I know I might learn somethin. But its not just them, there's more Sidar, Product, Voice, and Cooke (guess u are popular)Many others also, but I'm not gonna sit and shout out everyone.

I'm not saying fans of the other systems aren't mature, but usually on a post you'll be quicker to find negative and flame bait comments coming from them. Also, fans of other systems seem to frequent Wii news more often than Wii owners to the ps360 news.

[N4g_null]

I'm much more impressed with the 3rd parties coming around right now. I was wonder who would be the first but I have to say capcom is really making me happy as a Hardcore gamer that has been gaming for a while. They really did seem out of place trying to cater to the PS and HD fans. I mean any console where a street fighter game is not welcome can't really be called hardcore can it?

Even though I'm happy with nintendo right now I don't mind being critical. Yet it would be wise to hold those criticism these days because nintendo ways to success and your happiness as a gamer are very unconventional yet tradition in a weird way.

I guess this is what happens when a videogame company goes up against two tech companies.

[Marcus Fenix]

absolutely right, the Wii has a different audience of the PS3 and 360 and that's a good thing for u guys coz u live in peace lol, I never answered anyone who tries 2 prove that his/her console is better or this game is better than the other, as long as I enjoy my console and games,I could care less for someone doesn't like my system or games.

[N4g_null]

That's the way it should be. Hell even I realize hey people love gears and halo so why should I bash it. The more people playing the better.

Another funny thing is most Wii players arn't into to ganging up on others to win an argument. Another thing is you can't win an internet argument about opinion LOL.

[jorgeanaya000]

There are like only one or two negative comments on this story. Oh and Arius Dion go ahead and yourself to that list; because I couldn't have said it better myself.
