Tecmo's Deception 4 (AKA Trapt)

[Beefy Hits]

I rented this from gamefly a couple of weeks ago and I found it to be boring. Somehow I remember having more fun with tecmo's deception way back in the day.

Coming soon to the PS store as a PS2 Classic.

Doesn't sound like it's advanced the genre (if this type of game can be considered to actually be a part of any established genre to begin with) at all since the PS1 games. Only three traps at a time (wall, ceiling, floor), one or two environmental traps per room, even the trap selection sounds exactly the same. Just like the last two in the series.

I really want to be able to set up insane trap combos, like something out of Mousetrap or a Wile E. Coyote cartoon. I want to be able to string multiple traps along and juggle people, then bat them into other traps, and just go on and on, but with skill. Something like that should have to be well thought-out to produce the symphony of death that I'm describing.

This series has so much potential but they keep limiting themselves in their design. You'd figure they'd try to embellish the trap combos now that the series is on more powerful hardware, but noooo. Same old shit.

Well, it only took 9 years.

That looks awesome! Is that new?

[Bacon McShig]

Yeah, the new one coming for the Vita.

Deception IV is up on PSN but as much as I want to play it there is just no way in hell I am paying sixty dollars for it. These games have always been jank city, so launching at the maximum retail price seems crazy to me.

If it was cross-buy at $60 I'd consider it but now I'll just wait for the Vita version to drop in price.

Tecmo still makes games that aren't Doa or Ninja Gaiden?

Says the biggest Tekken fanatic ever! $60 is definitely pricey, but after watching some videos of this, it looks absolutely ludicrous and fun. If it's even 1/3 as much fun as the other Deception games, it's worth every penny as far as I'm concerned. Though this won't be getting any purchase or attention until Dark Souls 2 is finished.
