Those scores are not very helpful.

 

[e_i]

First, here’s everything that’s not a PlayStation 4 Japanese launch title:

[*]Resogun (PS4) – 9/8/9/7 [33/40]
[*]Strider (PS4) – 9/8/8/9 [34/40]

[/LIST]

So, Strider beats out Resogun? I'm still convinced that Strider will suck big time.

 

[Boogalogist]

Wow. That Yakuza score. Bring it to the west, Sega!

 

[gift of 100 gab]

Resogun score is fine, it aint that nice

Actually, it's amazing. But scores are scores, and sometimes people's opinions are wrong!

 

[FlyinJ]

Are there plans to localize Nobunaga’s Ambition: Creation?

I just watched a gameplay video and holy crap. It looks like Shogun 2.

 

[NotLiquid]

Knack getting a sub-30 on Famitsu even, good lord

 

[PBY]

Knack at 28/40 gives it a 70% so Yosp = vindicated.

All in all, pretty favorable reviews across the board. Let's shoppers know that they really can't go wrong with any game they buy for their new ps4 and that even Knack may appeal to some more than others.

Spoiler

I am one of those who think its great

thats pretty awful for famitsu doe

 

[kunonabi]

why would you not buy yakuza with a ps4.

The real question is why would you buy anything else? It's really the only game worth getting despite having a ps3 version.

 

[LeleSocho]

• Yakuza: Ishin (PS4) – 9/10/10/10 [39/40]

ahahahaha oh god.

 

[Into]

NBA is the best game out of the bunch

Famitsu should not be taken seriously regardless, no matter what system it is.

 

[Axass]

Pretty much in line with the usual Famitsu, overscoring about everything.

 

[Alchemy]

Give me Yakuza. Please?

 

[5amshift]

Really not as good as you think, man.
Anyways, hopefully PS4 can get a great number for launch!

 

[Sotha_Sil]

So the lowest 2 rated games are both PS4 launch exclusives? Lol okay...

Those lowest 3 games are PS4 exclusive, Resogun is there too.

I think that Famitsu's scores are laughable as a whole, but it still shows how the PS4 exclusive lineup has started with a whimper.

 

[djplaeskool]

Importing Yakuza Ishin with a quickness.

 

[Mrbob]

Dynasty Warriors 8XL feed it to me. March 25 is too far away. Koei must have paid well, as I don't remember recent DW games reviewing this high.

 

[Dragon1893]

Yakuza highest scored game, was kinda expecting that.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Japan really likes their COD.

 

[UltraGunner]

Damn, I thought Famitsu never gave games a score below 30.

 

[fastest finger]

That Strider score is surprisingly nice - I have to wonder if it is based purely on the new game, or if it takes into account the classic games bundled with the Japanese boxed copy?

 

[Jucksalbe]

Dynasty Warriors 8XL feed it to me. March 25 is too far away. Koei must have paid well, as I don't remember recent DW games reviewing this high.

Well, the original Dynasty Warriors 8 on PS3 already got a 36, so 37 isn't that unexpected.

 

[RedRedSuit]

Famitsu scores, and reviews for that matter, are 100% useless.

 

[Savitar]

Very kind to Knack.

 

[Briarios]

Omg how did I miss that a Nobunaga’s Ambition game is being released?!? Has anyone heard if we're getting it here? I love the series ...

 

[Beckx]

Anyone outraged at the Resogun score should note that it's the same score they gave to CAVE's last console shmup, SaiDaiOuJou.

(The outrage would have been if it had reviewed higher.

 

[Acquiescence]

You know Knack's bad when even Famitsu didn't like it.

That score for Resogun is too low though.

 

[xapnder]

Damn, I thought Famitsu never gave games a score below 30.

Demon's Soul: 29 out of 40 (9/7/7/6)

 

[Zeth]

Famitsu scores like IGN apparently

 

[UltraGunner]

Demon's Soul: 29 out of 40 (9/7/7/6)

the fuuuuuuuuck?!

 

[maxcriden]

Pretty much in line with the usual Famitsu, overscoring about everything.

This. I don't think people take Famitsu's scores seriously anymore.

 

[Slermy]

Actually, it's amazing. But scores are scores, and sometimes people's opinions are wrong!

Opinion man, opinions.

And Resogun is a fine game, but the score given is fair.

 

[AlphaDump]

Call of Duty: Ghosts (PS4) – 9/9/9/9 [36/40]

Famitsu, you high.

 

[Fusebox]

COD score is crazy. Have they changed their review team over the past few years or something? They used to be fairly tough scorers back in the day but this is just an orgy of 9s.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Anyone outraged at the Resogun score should note that it's the same score they gave to CAVE's last console shmup, SaiDaiOuJou.

(The outrage would have been if it had reviewed higher.

They gave Mushihimesama Futari a 29 (and Ketsui got a 26), so what do they know?

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Wow. That Yakuza score. Bring it to the west, Sega!

Someone has to bring it. Sony does have a new third party program set up for this sort of situation.

 

[Orayn]

Demon's Soul: 29 out of 40 (9/7/7/6)

the fuuuuuuuuck?!

It's like Western metal bands that are big in Japan, except backwards and video games.

 

[weevles]

I give Famitsu a 9/10 for having unhelpful review scores.

 

[ban25]

I'll definitely pick up Yakuza and DW...wait and see on Strider.

 

[Cess007]

[*]Yakuza: Ishin (PS4) – 9/10/10/10 [39/40]

I want it soo badly!

 

[Basch]

Resogun score is fine, it aint that nice

Knack is hardly worth a 1/10, imo. Terrible game. Everything about it is just so awful.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

Lowest three launch games are the exclusives...

Resogun - 33/40
KZ SF - 32/40
Knack - 28/40

I think those are fair scores. It's the other ones that are way too high and inflated. Once again exclusives are held to higher standards.

 

[Fusebox]

Knack is hardly worth a 1/10, imo. Terrible game. Everything about it is just so awful.

Apparently kids love it, so that's something.

 

[SkylineRKR]

I would give Killzone and Knack lower (and CoD as well), Resogun is a fine score.

I am interested in DW, its a nice package deal on PS4.

 

[friskykillface]

I want it soo badly!

I just saw the trailer and yup i need it too

or i could learn Japanese which is impossible


oh sega :'( at least make it a PSN digital release

 

[Coconut]

The NBA score is way too high.

Glad Strider got a positive review. Probably gonna get it on Tuesday.

You can't trust famitsu.

 

[noobie]

Anyone have previous hardware launches review scores?

 

[dolemite]

Knack (PS4) – 6/7/8/7 [28/40]

Knack vs. Mario, round 2.

 

[Sami+]

Demon's Soul: 29 out of 40 (9/7/7/6)

The fuck? Were they ever credible?

Serious question. Weren't they actually reasonably respectable during the PS2 era, or not really?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

BF4 not in shape to make the japanese launch? It really didnt make any launch so that makes sense.

 

[FaintColt388301]

Apparently kids love it, so that's something.

I just gameflyed knack and I'm actually really enjoying it. So add in that

Spoiler

i don't know what in classified as. Dumb adult?
