PS4 Exclusive Disaster Report 4 Plus’ First Screenshots Revealed by Famitsu After Years in Limbo
Today, the latest issue of weekly Famitsu had a report with the announcement of Disaster Report 4 Plus: Summer Memories, coming exclusively for PS4.
The original Disaster Report 4 was canceled years ago following the events of the Tohoku Earthquake, but now we learn that a major reason for the extended period in limbo was that the gameplay simply wasn’t up to par.
The team at Granzella based the new game on what they were building at that time, but they revamped the basic gameplay to achieve better quality, and re-created the title from the ground up for PS4.
Below, you can check out the first screenshots, even if you should keep in mind that you’re looking at magazine scans, so the quality isn’t as good as direct feed.

The game is set in a certain metropolis. The protagonist has come to the big city in search of a job. The player can choose whether the protagonist is a man or a woman, as well as their goal, at the start of the game. The game depicts a one-week survival story and features the concepts of hunger, expired foods, and even toilets.
Details from interview with Kazuma Kujo (producer):
The main reason the game was originally cancelled was because they couldn’t get it to come together.
Over the years since the game was cancelled, time has been devoted to upping the quality of the game system.
Granzella’s new company Gz Studio is developing the game. It’s made up of staff from the Irem days.
The “Plus” in the title signifies that the game is being rebuilt. The original version of the game is being used as a base, but everything is being completely revised from zero.
It’s not that you escape a week after the earthquake, sometimes you go back to the same place two or three days later.
Situations at the same locations will change as time progresses. (For example, when cranes begin reconstruction.)
The degree of how the protagonist’s decisions influences post-development has greatly increased.
If you eat expired foods or don’t use the toilet, it will impact your performance.
Since it’s being developed for PlayStation 4, Kujo wants to put in an element that lets players feel like they’re connected somehow.
