Never played prior entries in the series. Looks very interesting I think.

It's certainly a unique game, was a good bit of fun. Feel sorry for my buddy having to review it on Switch whilst I got the PS4 version to do, seems like a mess performance wise on the Ninty machine. PS4 was solid though with an added VR mode.

It sounded very interesting and right up my alley, until I went to go buy it over on the store...Review: Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories - A Totally Unique Experience Marred By Technical Problems

Played the demo and this game basically feels like epitome of quirky Japanese game design.
Will be picking this up first price drop.

I played the demo on the Switch. I thought it would be something like Toyko Jungle with people, I did not expect a puzzle game.

Yeah, I agree that it is pricey. I'll probably wait for a lower price.

Yeah, because the game is one big puzzle. You need to run around until you trigger a cutscene in front of one person, which will spawn a person somewhere else that wasn't there that you now have to run in front to trigger and so on and so forth until you trigger the last person which will unlock an exit from a block so you can move on to the next block and do it all over again. It is very different from the game I expected. You don't even need to talk to people, just run in front of everyone until you trigger a cutscene, the radius is about 2-3 meters, and look for people who weren't there before the last cutscene. The demo ends when you are about to move to the next city block.I tried the demo but i got stuck and didn't knew how to progress.

I think the only person you need to interact with, that doesn't trigger a cutscene is a lady in the clothes shop on the second floor sitting in a sofa, she has a key to the back room that you need to get from her. Not sure if you need to go there to finish the demo, but it is there.

I remember i found some teacher who was searching for her students and i offered to search for them but i couldn't find not even a single one!
I actually thought that was why i couldn't progress the demo.

That is the final part. They spawn once you talk to her. There are two in the clothes shop, on the 1st floor (not the ground floor). Once you trigger them you need to trigger the teacher and then the 3rd will spawn. She will be next to the exit out of the block, where the sign fell that prevents you to progress.I remember i found some teacher who was searching for her students and i offered to search for them but i couldn't find not even a single one!

The demo ends just as it gets interesting. Wasn't impressed and I wanted to like it.

I feel like I'm arriving late to this series and its only to be let down by impressions left by other users. I was always interested in this series, but never wanted to spend money to give it a try. Definitely don't see the point in getting this if everyone here isn't impressed by it.

I've put about 3 hours into it on Steam and I'm liking it so far, though less than DR 1 and 2. Those had quirkier characters and more set pieces, whereas DR4 has fewer set pieces (it's mostly walking around and talking) and fewer characters overall, though some of the quirk is still there. It is a DR game through and through , but a slightly undercooked one. You have meters for food/thirst/bathroom need, but seemingly no punishment for disregarding them. There's a crafting system that supposedly only used twice in the game. Also, it runs bad on everything. I've heard horror stories about the Switch version and on my PC (Ryzen 3900X/1080ti) 4k can go down to sub 20 fps. I'm running it on 1440 now and it's running pretty smooth.
This all being said, I'm having a great time with this game and I can't wait to hop into it again this evening.

Raw Danger is the best game in the series and emulates well on PC. I'd recommend that above this for your first try.

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation.

I just tried the demo and, damn, it's rough - the controls, how the character reacts to the environment, even the framerate on my base PS4 looks like it's around 20fps. Plus the reviews I've read state that the choices aren't meaningful and there are no real rewards/penalties for being good/terrible to other people. I'll be waiting until it's in a massive sale.

Been playing this and I'm pretty disappointed. All the cutscenes to just talk to people is annoying as hell. Not only that but there arent any really cool moments like RAW Danger or Disaster Report. Like running from a flood or trying to figure a way out before you die from something. This game is just stale IMO.

It would probably not be an understatement to say that the development of Disaster Report 4 Plus: Summer Memories was a disaster in its own way. See originally, the game was supposed to be released in March 2011 on Playstation 3 but it got cancelled

this is PC footage right? I mean I played the demo on my Pro, and the game was under 30 FPS most time.
