Title: Disaster: Day of Crisis
Post by: RABicle on March 27, 2008, 12:08:36 PM
Have we heard anything in forever? Will it even be at E3 and PAX? Why are they hiding it!

*in before everyone else
At this rate it should be called "Disaster"Day of Vaporware". Further proof that Nintendo has killed gaming in favor of more casual mini game fests...

But vapourware usually shows promise. (http://nintendoworldreport.com/media/11438/1/2.jpg) These are the worst graphics on Wii. Srsly, Perfect Dark's Chicago level looks better.

Based on that screenshot, I think it's clear what happened: they've spent the time revamping it into an on-rails shooter.

Based on that screenshot, I think it's clear what happened: they've spent time revamping it into a fitness game using the balance board. Parents will protest claiming the game not only shows you how to shoot people but evade the police.
that Lung meter looked like shoe's to me and i thought it was some sort of endurance bar. The lungs thing still works though..

Nowhere near the worst graphics on the Wii, the only thing that really looks bad is the car.
If we don't hear anything about it at Nintendo's big E3 thing then we should worry, for now I'm just chalking it up to the game not being done. A delayed game can be made good, a bad game is bad forever.

It would be awesome if he applied that line of thought to the Wind Waker! and NOT to Twilight Princess
I still feel guilty about not trying Geist so I may buy this if the budget allows. Just as Nintendo justly demands from third parties to spend their top tier teams in the development of wii games, they should try even if just for once, their top tier teams to develop this "non-nintendo" games for lack of a better term, or at least invest a little more in the presentation department for these titles, after Galaxy they just have no excuse.

It's close I'll give ya that.
In terms of 3-D Zelda's it currently stands second for me. But I go through mood changes with what Zelda games I'm feeling nostalgically.

Sword combat because I really did like that mechanic and how it was done in the game and was done far to little.
Though I thought Day of Disaster was you against a crisis those CS guys don't make any sense under that premise.

It's sort of odd that they rated it this early on...It gives the impression it'll be out within the year, but Ninty hasn't shown any sign of it being released ANYWHERE this year...Would be a nice surprise if it did...

Disaster: Day of Crisis
KEY INFORMATION Survive nature’s most devastating catastrophes in Disaster: Day of Crisis, a panic-inducing survival game for Wii. In a devastatingly short period of time, an unprecedented wave of natural disasters has pummeled the United States. On top of this inexplicable series of disasters, a rogue special forces unit has taken advantage of the chaos and seized a nuclear weapon. Only Ray, a former member of an elite rescue task force, has decided to take a stand. • Cutting-edge physics and gripping visuals re-create the sheer terror of major catastrophes. • Players race a car down a mountain to escape a roaring pyroclastic flow, dodge toppling buildings during a devastating earthquake and swim for their lives in a raging flood. No matter what happens, fight to survive.
Developer: Monolith Software Publisher: Nintendo
Now Disaster: Day of Crisis, developed by the makers of Baten Kaitos and Xenosaga, will finally see a release. Just recently the game got its finishing touches in order to submit a copy to the Australian OFLC (the finished game is needed for their rating). As of today, the game will be released on October 24th in Europe. Let's hope it will slip again out of our field of vision with Animal Crossing in November and Wii Music in December. An official confirmation will follow soon - together with European releasedates for DS games like Professor Layton, Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir and Rhythm Heaven.

Ex-US-Marine Raymond Bryce will drive,run,swim,and shoot through 23 sections, while they are being destroyed by volcanoes,tsunamis,hurricane,floods and earthquakes.Furthermore he will have to fight a dubious terrorist organization called SURGE.
Ray will have to find fresh air when his lungs are filled with smoke and will have to eat to regain his strength. In addition to this Ray will have to save the citizens of the city from the destruction around them and apply first aid.
There is a rumor that Disaster: DOC is coming out on October 24th in Europe.

You know, after watching the gameplay videos http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/rdzj/action/index.html , I get the distinct impression that this game isn't just lacking sandbox/open world style gameplay, but is almost completely on rails. It's doesn't even appear that you use the analog stick to move. I liked Umbrella Chronicles more than I thought I would, but this kind of gameplay is less appealing to me.

The game looks nicer than I thought it would in motion, but what is up with the bad jumping animations?
When he jumps up a ledge (at around 6:20) it just looks terrible. =P

Japan: 1. Disaster: Day of Crisis (Nintendo) 2. Wii Fit (Nintendo) 3. Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo) 4. One Piece Unlimited Cruise: Episode 1 - Nami ni Yureru Hihou (Bandai) 5. Wii Sports (Nintendo)

The few videos i've seen, and the score Famitsu gave it give me hope that this game will turn out better than i could of expected (wasnt expecting much), even if it doesnt have the polish it should for a game thats been held back as long as it has.

Now all we need is for Miyamoto to bring back Project H.A.M.M.E.R. It looked fun.

Exactly EasyCure, both types of games can and do coexist. I wouldn't want Nintendo to continue either one in spite of the other. I think that Wii Sports, Wii Fit, and yes, even Wii Music have and will do beneficial things for the industry in the long run. Often times Miyamoto's genius is not readily apparent until the game is in your hands, perhaps Wii Music is one of those efforts.
There were many Wii Sports naysayers once upon a time and now the game is widely regarded as one of the best and most influential Wii games to be made.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but, the game is not a hit in Japan. First day sales were only 10,000, and this isn't looking like the type of game that'll have long legs.
Of course considering how NCL announced the release date only 3 weeks before release, it seems like they weren't expecting huge sales in Japan though. Since this game was obviously made with a Western audience in mind, it's going to be the North American and European sales that Nintendo cares about.
As long as NOA and NOE market the game right in their markets, I think the game has the potential to do well in the rest of the world. Not huge Mario or Zelda level numbers or anything, but I could see it getting a respectable sized audience in the end.

Well I can't remember exactly what Geist total numbers were, but they were quite low. I think it's first month sales were under 20,000, and considering the Gamecube was dead when it came out, I doubt it had any legs.
So as long as Disaster can sell more then 20,000 it's first month in America, I'm pretty sure it'll do better then Geist.

*stays positive*
Speaking of Geist. I'd love for them to make another one. I think they could add more to the experience with some good wii controls, and maybe make it less of a FPS and focus on some more all around action (melle weapons, vehicles, more inanimate objects to use, etc.)

Ah, Geist. So much potential wasted on what felt like a mediocre PC or Xbox shooter. It had its moments, though.
So is Disaster: Day of Crisis supposed to be any good? I can't find time to keep up with and buy games (although a week or two of Phantom Hourglass was a nice return to form, albeit too brief), but this one has interested me from the start.
I mean, bears riding laser satellites like surfboards on a giant tsumani heading for a volcano? Count me in.

I'll tell you what will happen with this game. NOA won't release it until 2 generations from now, as a downloadable title only. Then it'll be a time limited release.
Watching a video of the ducking and shooting reminded me of Winback. Definately is going to be odd after playing Gears of War and Uncharted, which have similar mechanics.

I was really psyched for Disaster for about a year, and then I read form all the reviewers that it's about an 8-8.5. That's not a terrible score, but I really wanted it to be a blockbuster... Well, that's what they get for making the shooting parts on-rail! I'm still getting it (as soon as they get a freaking NA release date) the second it comes out, though.

You've GOT to be joking. Aw gee the game got an 8 =\ (which is a GOOD score. It's not "not terrible", it's GOOD!), time to suicide. That doesn't mean EVERYONE is going to find it an "8 worthy" flop. I don't think any site will EVER give a Wii game without hype a 10, even if Disaster is the best game ever or the best game ever comes along from a third party or a minor Nintendo franchise. It's just the current state of the media. No balls. Afraid to think.

Many popular games score between an 8 and 8.9 - it's definitely not the end of the world. Advertising (and Nintendo's usual lack-of) will make or break the game.

I only say that because Nintendo doesn't seem willing to take the risk to publish it in the U.S.; it's almost as if they're looking for an excuse not to. I could see them being disappointed by its Japanese/European sales overall, deciding not to publish it over here (since they'd have to make a bigger production run for the bigger market), and instead selling off the publishing rights to a smaller company like Atlus or D3Publisher. It would save them the hassle of dealing with a product they don't seem to be 100% behind in the first place.

It's Nintendo's dumb fault for investing in an RPG developer to not make RPGs...
OR IS IT A STROKE OF GENIUS?
Disaster is a mere step in Nintendo's master plan to deprive the hardcore world of its until-now healthy J-RPG market. Acquiring Monolithsoft was one way to keep an RPG series off the HD hugebox competitors.

I don't own Disaster, I just had the chance to play the opening 3 hours of it on a debug unit courtesy of Nintendo's UK PR people. My impressions can be found here:
In short, the opening to the game is very slow, as it is filled with cut scenes and tutorials to introduce all the different gameplay styles, so it isn't necessarily an ideal portion of the game to play in order to get a feel for Disaster's quality overall. All I can say is that the shooting segments showed some promise, while the explorative and driving sequences seemed like they would have a hard time getting much more interesting deeper into the game.

Post by: Mario on November 13, 2008, 11:20:28 PM
I'm only about 2 hours into it but here's my impressions so far.
Lots of neat gameplay elements. Driving is heaps fun. shooting is different to what i expected, more of an emphasis on covering and reloading and timing rather than just being an awesome shot. Lots of 'minigames' (for lack of a better word, it all flows quite well) using the wii controls quite nicely, for things like rescuing people and dealing with obstacles. Sometimes it can get annoying with the game treating you like a baby telling you EXACTLY how to do all the different motions, but hopefully this goes away as I get further into the game.
cool atmosphere. It's cheesy and makes no excuses for it, but also has a kind of Resident Evil vibe where it's serious as well. I don't want to compare it to anything because it feels quite unique.
Heaps of unlockables and upgrades and stats and awards. gets a bit confusing. Cool feature you can replay levels straight away after finishing them, and even go back and find items you missed or rescue people you missed or killed.
Lots of variety, but I wont spoil anything. Graphics aren't the greatest, a bit blurry but they are consistant and lend themselves to some spectacular moments.
Music is ok, it's basically the same MGS sounding tune over and over. Hasn't stood out to me yet.
Main character is a very likable dude despite saying **** every second sentence.
Title: Re: Disaster: Day of Crisis
Post by: BeautifulShy on November 13, 2008, 11:50:40 PM
I believe that the first few stages have those instructions. It should get better further in. The unlockables are 100 in number. That's great that you can go back to the stage.It is a blessing because you probably aren't gonna get everything.Which ties in with the unlockables.

This game's bloody incredible. One of the best single player experieces on the Wii yet; you never know what the hell is going to happen next and it throws so much at you at a rapid pace. Never a dull moment. One minute you're taking down a helicopter with a handgun, the next you're being swept away in a tsunami, only to wash up next to a maniac with a bomb strapped to his chest.
The industry destroying 'mini-games' (uuurrr hurrr can't possibly enjoy those) work really well. Many of them are one-offs and you'll be learning how to control them on-the-fly, which adds to the intensity. Seriously, there are just so many hilariously random, amazing moments. It easily surpasses Disaster Report and Raw Danger on PS2 in this regard, ie; INFERNAL GETS HARD FOR THESE TWO GAMES.
This is my Wii GOTY. <3

JB HiFi had heaps of copies when I got it, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. Nintendo wanted this game to bomb, because that'd just add another Disaster to the game, pretty cool they'd add such an immersive aspect to it. I might buy a second copy because it looks like in a year or so you're going to have to swim across rivers, scale buildings and fight people for a copy. Nintendo could have done a cool competition involving something like that for a free copy of the game. They could have done so much to promote it, disasters appeal to people quite a lot, especially when they aren't real, everyone loves the thrill.
They could have done an easy sequel too just by copying the gameplay and throwing in new scenarios. Everyone loses again.

Yeah picked this up from the second nearest JB to me. Haven't put it down yet. I tried to avoid previews, reviews and videos for this one, I mean I read a few and thought I had a bit of an idea on how it plays. I am surprised how wrong I was, pleasantly surprised of course. It's a real pity USers won't get this one for a while (or at all).
Will add more impressions after a bit.

Where's this story take place, RAB? It'd be ironic if the game took place in the US and then was released everywhere but here. >:(
Title: Re: Disaster: Day of Crisis
Post by: RABicle on November 21, 2008, 01:56:41 PM
It takes place in the US except for the prologue/title sequence which is in the Andes. Fake city though. I think it's called something catchy like Blue Ocean City. I guess it was Atlantic City without the casino.
Title: Re: Disaster: Day of Crisis
Post by: Mario on November 21, 2008, 07:53:21 PM
Blue Ridge City! And yes the game is very American, even the president is in the game. I suspect it will come over there next year some time. Interviewers really have to pester Reggie about it, he can't get away with this.

Just finished my first play through yesterday. Epic ending sequences from fighting that Metal Gear-type thing to defusing the nuclear bomb. I completed the last couple of stages while a couple of my mates watched on, I'm pretty sure they're both sold on the concept.

I would guess quite a bit knowing how NOJ and NOA seem to be separated more often then not in both knowledge and decision making (same with Nintendo's other branches. Sega of America was quite the same way from what I Understand). He probably has a lot of room to decide which games are published in NA and which ones are not.
