Disaster Report 2!

RAW DANGER!!!!

Man, it just doesn't get any fucking worse than that shit.

Any idea if they hacked up the Euro version? I don't need this game if it's been edited. That 7+ on the cover doesn't fill me with confidence.

Yep. The hack reports are coming from people with the euro version, and I somehow doubt the US one is less slashed.

Note to self- kill everyone. The 90s are over, we shouldn't have to put up with this shit any more.

-edit- Found the listing of the changes, here they are for those who want a spoilered peek-

In the original Japanese release, you went into the girls bathroom and his pants were on the floor, then when you checked the only closed cubical, he came out, put his pants on and chased you. He doesn't do that anymore. When you check the cubical it comments something like "This is a bathroom, there is noone here". Instead, he appears when you leave the room. And yes, he now says about how "Your grades are terrible, we must study right now!"

They also removed the things he held originally. During the second incounter, he says something about "I'll save you but then we must study!". The student teacher comments on how there was nothing we could do to save him, where in the original, she said about how she couldn't believe a fellow teacher would be like that.

In the fifth scenario where you play the doctor with amnesia, the normal end is changed. In the japanese version, before you can kill the virus, you are shot and thrown into the water. However, he struggles back to the switch and kills the virus. Then the mayor ran over and shot you while yelling. He keeps shooting you for about 15 shots and each shot sprays more blood until the character is in a huge pile of blood. Then his men pull him to the helicopter and they fly off. Now, after you hit the switch, he yells, and it cuts to the helicopter flying off, skipping the entire scene where the mayor unloads his ammo into you. However, you do see a quick glimpse of our character in the huge pile of blood, though without the other scene, it makes it seem like he just bled to death.

Another odd thing from the schoolgirl scenario. When you see the doctor from scenario 5 in the school, there are a list of options. I never knew what they said in the Japanese release, but I knew they affected how he remembered himself. The first line is usually "pervert" in reference to the teacher, as the girl is getting the men mixed up due to the white coats. However, despite the pedo teacher being heavily edited, the "pervert" line is still there, which makes no sense now.

Agetec is a small publisher. Can they really afford this kind of incompetence? The Aryan nation of blondes plus editing things without thinking about the consequences to the story, alienating the people who want to be fans, aren't going to help move more copies of this game. Raw Danger was never going to be a huge seller, even at $15-$20. Are the half-dozen extra sales from a T rating really worth looking inompetent for?

Yeah, from what little I've read, in the original Japanese version there was a part where you play as a female student, chased by a teacher who wants to have sex with you before you all drown. Now, you play as a female student, chased by a teacher who wants to make you understand the importance of studying before you all drown.

That... that is so hilariously bad that it's awesome.

Url plz? where are you reading this? neogaf?
I don't really care about minor changes. I really enjoyed the first game.

Wow, that is pretty awesome. Obviously a throwback to classic video game retardism.

The game actually sounds pretty good too. The New York Times liked it: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/14/te...=5070&emc=eta1

Anyone pick this up? It's been getting pretty good reviews.

[dakidski]

Sigh, this game was never released in europe, although I know from the piracy-scene that a pal version exists. Edit. oh, it's coming out in Australia the 16th. I'll order it from there.

[Dolemite]

Fuck it, it's only $15. If it's anywhere close to Disater Report's quality (and I hear it is) I'll be happy.
