Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories

“In Zetsu 4, I tried to depict the hope of ‘signs of recovery’ and the ‘shadow’ that the light creates. The emphasis is on the fact that the real difficulty of a disaster is ‘after it’.I thought it would be nice to have such a game in the world, and I still think it is.” – Kazuma Kujo In creating the Disaster Report franchise, Kazuma Kujo sought not only to entertain but also to educate. In 1995, in the immediate aftermath of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, the Kobe Fire Department contacted Kujo intending to produce a video game that would teach safe practices during earthquakes and other natural disasters. The games are not action-oriented but are about deliberate puzzle-solving and resource gathering, anticipating the Survival game craze that took over in the early 2010s. The franchise is inseparable from its setting, Hisui City’s decimated urban environments populated by civilians who have lost everything and need a helping hand. However, just as Disaster Report was born out of a historically damaging earthquake, the franchise met its foreseeable end as a result of natural catastrophe. Development of the franchise’s latest title, Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories, ceased entirely three days after the 2011 Touhoku earthquake and tsunami.

Gematsu Source

R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in fall 2024, Granzella announced.

Here is an overview of the game, via western publisher NIS America:

About

As the Bydo continue to eliminate humanity, you must outsmart and outmaneuver them if the Space Corps has any hope of victory. That is, until you find yourself fighting alongside the very forces you were tasked with destroying… R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos combines the side-scrolling, shoot ’em up action the series is known for with tactical, turn-based strategy gameplay for a one-of-a-kind R-Type experience! Remade in Unreal Engine 5, this two-game collection blasts its way onto Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, with R-Type Tactics II also making its debut in the west for the first time! Deploy your forces across multiple campaigns, playing as both the Space Corps and the Bydo. You can also set your sights on competitive online play to see who the ultimate tactician really is. With hundreds of ships and levels to choose from between both games, along with branching missions and a new third campaign (all exclusive to R-Type Tactics II), R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos is packed with out-of-this-world content!

Key Features

New Frontiers – With the debut of R-Type Tactics II in the west, both titles make their way from the PSP to modern consoles for the first time!

Whose Side Are You On? – Multiple campaigns for each faction, as well as branching storylines in R-Type Tactics II, allow for a unique gameplay experience across both titles while fleshing out the world of R-Type and the origins of the sinister Bydo Empire.

Destroy the Competition – Face off against other players online in both R-Type Tactics I and R-Type Tactics II!

An Unreal Makeover – Both titles have been remade using Unreal Engine 5, creating a collection that’s both strategically engaging and visually enthralling!

I don't think I've talked about it here on my Tumblr before, but I am a fan of the R-Type series, and I've been looking forward to the remake of R-Type Tactics I & II (due out sometime this year, but knowing Granzella, I wouldn't be surprised if it was delayed... again). I had been wondering if the remakes would still use the anime art style for the characters like the originals did, and this newly released artwork shows that they will.

R-Type Final 2

When R-Type Final was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2003, it was designed to be the bookend for one of video game’s most prominent shoot-em-up series. And it was, for awhile, outside of a duo of strategy games for the PSP and an HD remake of the first two games. But words like “final” carry little weight, if a certain long running RPG franchise has anything to say about it, and 18 years later, we have R-Type Final 2. It was developed by Granzella, formed by former Irem staff members, including director Kazuma Kujo, who successfully crowdfunded it in 2019.
