[Kinyou]

I wonder if they're a little salty about getting it so late

 

[Throwaway123456789]

Why are we discussing Famitsu review scores, again? Seriously, they're corrupt to the bone and never ever helpful.

 

[system11]

Resogun one of the lowest rated PS4 games? Okay, Famitsu, whatever you say.

Well they do live in the land of very much better arcade games still being on arcade floors.

I always thought it was overrated and their score (which is still good) is about right when compared to all the peers many western reviewers seem unaware of.

 

[Dead Prince]

knack will be top selling game when it launches in japan. also rest of scores are so high and 6 days until JP ps4 launch.

 

[Ein Bear]

Knack and Call of Duty were my two favourite launch games.

...do I have to turn in my GAF-card?

 

[dakkumauji]

Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends (PS4) – 9/10/9/9 [37/40]

Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends (PS3) – 9/9/9/9 [36/40]
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends (PSV) – 9/9/9/9 [36/40]

So a whole point up. Excellent.

 

[Dartastic]

Strider is good! YESSSSSS.

 

[Flek]

gimme dat yakuza NOW

 

[TheKastorian]

Personally, I find Famitsu scores very inconsistent.

 

[kpaadet]

Resogun one of the lowest rated PS4 games? Okay, Famitsu, whatever you say.

Sony's cheque didn't clear.

Spoiler

No I am serious, this is Famitsu the cheque really didn't clear.

 

[shikamaroooo]

Yakuza one point from a perfect score, nice!

 

[Boy Wander]

Every time I see a Famitsu review thread, I envisage four guys stood in front of a dart board with sections numbered 6 to 10

 

[Chobel]

How many Japanese games PS4 will have in march and April?

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Shame that DriveClub wasn't ready for the JP launch like they planned.

 

[TnK]

People still take Famitsu scores seriously?

 

[reptilescorpio]

Strider reviewed better than Resogun? Didn't expect that!

 

[vg260]

Why are we discussing Famitsu review scores, again? Seriously, they're corrupt to the bone and never ever helpful.

Yeah, I only check to see if they're lower than 5 which would most likely be a legit poor game. Otherwise they're worthless to me.

 

[Principate]

How many Japanese games PS4 will have in march and April?

Not many the announcements have been pretty much none existent. I think there's maybe 3-4 in total which are all ports/crossgen..

 

[jabuseika]

That launch line-up looks so much better than the west lauch line-up.

If the PS4 doesn't do well...

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Do people really care about famitsus opinion on games?

 

[Asd202]

Famitsu reviews scores are BS.

 

[jacobeid]

Resogun 33/40.

Alright then.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Ghost above Killzone...lol

Do Yakuza games always score that high in Famitsu?

 

[HueyFreeman]

Wow Knack's scores must be the lowest the magazine has given out in about 5 years.

Fuck - just look at those reviews! I remember a time when a high score from Famitsu was basically impossible.

 

[Asd202]

Ghost above Killzone...lol

Do Yakuza games always score that high in Famitsu?

SEGA paid up.

 

[liger05]

Is Yakuza playable or is it too difficult without knowing Japanese?

 

[Oemenia]

Do people really care about famitsus opinion on games?

Give how few Japan-centric games there are at launch its really important that Famitsu score well.

Its really surprising to see just how little Sony prepared despite the delay.

 

[Melchiah]

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.

Yep. The other FPS reviews are rarily as harsh Killzone's. Many of them even excluded the MP portion of the game.

 

[Amir0x]

Mrbob convinced me to try out Dynasty Warriors on PS4 since it's been a while since I last played a Dynasty Warriors game. I am ready to slaughter the hordes of unwashed enemies

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Lowest three launch games are the exclusives...

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

And Resogun is the highest rated launch exclusive. So either all launch games were bad, or Famitsu continues to solidify that their scores don't mean anything.

 

[kris.]

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

 

[Jomjom]

That launch line-up looks so much better than the west lauch line-up.

If the PS4 doesn't do well...

All of those games could have scored a 45/40 and the PS4 still isn't going to do well. Maybe better compared to the PS3 because it's launching at a lower price, but that's about it. It's not portable, it's not selling.

 

[Warewolf]

That Yakuza Ishin score is looking good! I may have to start off this generation with some hot imported action. Or maybe I should just wait for it to be localised in the US. Right guys? . . . . . . guys?

 

[mujun]

why would you not buy yakuza with a ps4.

I'm not buying it because the previous Yakuza games that I've tried have been boring and tedious.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Why score the PS4 version of YI one point higher than the triple version? Does it have more content or something? I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but maybe I missed some announcements?

 

[noobie]

Do people really care about famitsus opinion on games?

if people care about Polygon scores then why not for Famitsu

 

[Acosta]

Are people here ditching Resogun? really?

 

[Recall]

Surprised NBA scored so high. Is basketball big in Japan?

Can't a game be reviewed on its merits regardless if a sport is popular or not in a region?

 

[ascii42]

Why score the PS4 version of YI one point higher than the triple version? Does it have more content or something? I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but maybe I missed some announcements?

I guess that one person thought the ps4 improved the experience. Probably runs better or something.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Are people here ditching Resogun? really?

game ain't that great. My least favorite from them that i've played.

 

[darkwing]

Yakuza please

that 9/10 reviewer should be spanked

 

[Asd202]

I guess that one person thought the ps4 improved the experience. Probably runs better or something.

More like it's a PS4 issue so a lot of potential PS4 buyers will get it so we have to make them happy. That's also why they will always give a popular series or bigger buget Japanese games high scores. That's how Famitsu works.

 

[Krixeus]

CoD scored higher than KZ? Really?

 

[dan2026]

I want to know if Famistsu regarded with the same disdain and incredulity in Japan as over here?

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Lowest three launch games are the exclusives...

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

8.25
8
7

Sounds good to me.

 

[DrKelpo]

cod ghosts....36...

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Typically, I do not care about review scores, but some of these seem way too generous. I am surprised to see a FPS and sports games getting rated high in Japan.

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

All of those games could have scored a 45/40 and the PS4 still isn't going to do well. Maybe better compared to the PS3 because it's launching at a lower price, but that's about it. It's not portable, it's not selling.

Not only will the PS4 sell , it will sell well.

 

[darkwing]

COD just killing the pretenders
