Disaster Report series scrapped

MCV Staff 30th March 2011 Event News

Developer Irem has stopped production of its Disaster Report games following Japan’s tsunami and earthquake.

The firm previously announced that the fourth game in its apocalyptic earthquake series had been cancelled following the devastation in Japan earlier this month. It was scheduled to be released on PS3.

Now Andriasang is reporting that production of all past Disaster Report titles has been halted, including the first two PS2 games and the PSP title.

The site also says interest in the series has increased since the cancellation, with prices on the Amazon marketplace in Japan reaching 12,800 (96), 7,000 (52) and 8,700 (65) for the first three respective Disaster Report games.

The first game arrived in Europe in 2003 where it is known as SOS: The Final Escape.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
