Binary Domain

[Flea]

So this game has zero marketing at the moment but is coming out very soon for PS3/360. Japanese Sci-Fi action RPG from the makers of Yakuza. It seems to have a huge budget behind it and all the trailers they have released so far have been pretty amazing. Here is the latest:

I think we had a thread for this a whlie back, but yeah it's kind of weird how little marketing the games getting.

I'm pretty intrigued for the whole squad loyalty mechanic thing. That seems really interesting.

Yeah my bad If a mod could either merge this with the old topic or delete it that would be awesome thanks.

I think the only thing that could let this game down would be the actual gameplay, from what I understood the shooting on Yakuza Dead Souls wasn't exactly the greatest. Hopefully it all comes together.

I don't know why but I always get the feeling that this game is going to end up like one of those Third person shooters with cool ideas that ends up failing miserablly like Fracture.

Also, I read some previews and they weren't exactly glowing... never a good thing to read in a preview!

I got around to pre-ordering this today. I'm trying not to set my expectations too high for it but I really like what I've seen so far.

Looks like iRobot/Terminator mixed into a decent sounding game.
I'll keep my eye on it.

I downloaded the demo off the US PSN today and played through it. It wasn't really on my radar (despite being developed by Yakuza Team), but now I'll definitely be buying it. It's like an awesome mix of Vanquish (robots!) and Dead Space (dismemberment!) with some unique squad/voice mechanics. The demo wasn't really enough to tell if the Consequence System will live up to its potential, but the voice squad commands were fun to use, and I had no issues with the game understanding every order (using a PS Eye's mic). It's just so much more simple and natural to tell your teammates what to do (or answer them) using your voice rather than fumbling around with button presses. Speaking of controls, the game controls wonderfully, almost as precise as Vanquish (which set the bar in my opinion). I was a little worried seeing as Yakuza Dead Souls has seemed to cop some criticism for janky controls, but no such problem here. Hopefully the story will be great too, early indications (trailers and Nagoshi & co. previous work) point to it being good. The premise is just so intriguing.

I am in agreement, just look at the words they recognise! In fact they won me over when they recognised fuck

I thought that the consequence system was a little too forgiving. Playing on the hardest difficulty level available for the demo, I went out of my way in one playthrough (mission one) to shoot my teammates as often as possible, trying to kill/down them and bring my trust level to rock bottom. I'd even repeat orders as often as possible to annoy them.

Working together with them against the Grand Lancer by shooting the cable to electrocute it and jumping onto its head from the rooftop seemed to be enough for my comrades to place their trust in me again.

The gameplay isn't really anything special but it feels fun to play. It does, at least to me, avoid feeling too generic. The shooting felt good, the guns feel like they had real power behind them and dismembering the robots was pretty satisfying.

It looks like being a fairly good TPS and I'm eagerly awaiting its release.

I dl the demo, wasn't really impressed at all, the gameplay mechanics felt really clunky. But the voice rec was awesome, and I like the trust idea. Think this is something that should be brought into other games such as Mass Effect.
Has a little Alpha Protocol feel to it which to me was a unpraised gem, which was also a Sega title.
Also suprised to hear this is made by the Yakuza team, gives me a idea what the shooting mechanics are going to be like in Dead Souls

I played the demo and holy shit the voice recognition was just.... awful. Like... couldn't play the game awful. It was missreading every single word I spoke, and sometimes reading things when I wasn't even talking.

My party kept getting shitty with me cause it kept reading me as swearing a lot even though suprisingly I wasn't. There was no god damm noise.
