I know most people know Irem for R-Type, but I always think of Steambot Chronicles when I think of them. While hoping for a sequel to that, this looks pretty nice. Maybe Atlus will pick it up when the time comes.

[Evil Avnovice]

Nice to see you here. :)

Nice to see you here. :)

Thanks. I tried going cold turkey on any sort of forum visiting, but it only lasted a few weeks. Not a lot of self-restraint.

You mean something like this?

:D

On topic, this looks pretty cool, I've never played any of the games in the series before. I know, I really should have by now.

Is that a sequel or a remake? One of those scenes was in the original. I like the nicer graphics, but I hoped they fixed the load times. That was why I stopped playing the original.

[Spigot]

Man, I really need to play more of Steambot Chronicles. I loved the demo and have the full game but have barely played it.... like a lot of JRPGs in my stack :(

I'm also curious if Bumpy Trot 2 is a remake or sequel to SBC...

Back on topic, I still haven't had a satisfactory answer about whether or not this SOS 3 game is actually a new game in the Disaster Report/Raw Danger line or if it's something completely new. Give me a Disaster Report on the PSP with nice graphics like that and I'll be in heaven.

S.O.S.: The Final Escape is the name of the franchise in Europe, so yes, this is the follow up to Raw Danger.

It doesn't look like a remake. It seems like a lot of things happen in that trailer Gorvi posted that I don't remember from the game.

I must admit, I really enjoyed Steambot Chronicles, but it's got to be the only game I've ever played while reading a book. Seriously, navigating towns while in your robot is so time-consuming and boring (and automated), that you feel like you need to do something else while it's happening. If we ever see the sequel, I hope that's not as much of a problem.

Didn't realize until everyone else was posting that this is a Disaster Report game. I never got around to playing one of those, but have always been curious. Still need to do that...

OMG Bad Day L.A., only worth playing.

[Spigot]

OMG Bad Day L.A., only worth playing.You've never had the pleasure of playing Disaster Report, I take it. Not technically the best game, but it's hard to argue when you are trying to outrun a skyscaper that's falling on you or hopping from rooftop to rooftop to escape a tsunami.

Thank you for that, Spig. Yes, thank you very much.

Now all I gotta do is find a copy...

EDIT: Oh but wait, this appears to be the third version of Disaster Report, according to the Wiki this is the NA/Euro name. Well then, bring it on.

That said, Raw Danger just didn't click as well as the first game did. Here's hoping a bit more polish on the third game will address the issues I had with Raw Danger and make for a more fun experience akin to the original.

[Spigot]

Very nice. It's sad that the game on the PSP looks so much nicer than Raw Danger did on the PS2...

Well, I'm glad I'm buying a fucking PS3 soon.

[Spigot]

Nice. Any word on a NA release?

[Gorvi]

There's also a demo on the Japanese PSN for anyone interested. I'd grab it myself, but it won't work on my firmeware yet. :(

[Purple Santa]

Nice screen shots. I might be interested in this.

Damn. Apparently no relation to this S.O.S. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOS_(video_game)) That game rules. Though apparently fragments of the developer who made that SOS are also behind Steel Batallion and Infinite Space.
