Product Description

Binary Domain puts players in the middle of a fast-paced and intense battle for humanity in robot-invaded 2080 Tokyo. Fighting through the derelict lower levels of the city, players control an international peace-keeping squad that soon starts to question their surroundings and the choices they are making. Are the robots becoming more human, or are humans becoming more like machines?

Amazon.com


Binary Domain is an original squad-based shooter by Toshihiro Nagoshi, the creator behind some of Sega's most well-known video game franchises, including the critically acclaimed Yakuza series. Campaign play in Binary Domain features a trust based system in which the maintenance of relationships developed with AI squadmates are crucial if they are to follow orders. The game also features full destructible robot enemies, a wide range of weapons and a robust range of online multiplayer options.



Who is Humanity's True Enemy?

Binary Domain puts players in the middle of a fast paced and intense battle for humanity against androids called the "Hallow Children" in 2080 Tokyo. Fighting through the derelict lower levels of the city, players control an international peacekeeping squad that soon starts to question their surroundings and the choices they make, especially as they realize that the androids appear to think that they are human and they witness the dramatic divisions within society. In the face of this struggle the question becomes, are these these robots becoming more human, or are humans becoming more like machines?



Defend a divided future Tokyo from a robot threat with military skill and the trust of squadmates.

Gameplay and the Consequence System

Gameplay in the campaign of Binary Domain is single player and mission-based, but uniquely interactive. Players assume the role of Dan Marshall, the leader of a multinational squad of commandos known as the "Rust Crew." The different characters of the squad each have different skills and personalities which must be exploited. Players are always Dan, but also command all other squad members, communicating with them either through a headset or via their controller. As players progress through the game they build dynamic relationships with AI squadmates based on the overarching cause and effect component of the game known as the Consequence system. Within the Consequence system, the player's competence in command, as well as their demonstrated understanding of their squadmate's skills, and even the way they talk to squadmates determines the amount of trust each has in Dan. Maintaining a high level of trust ensures that commands are followed, whereas a low level of trust can result in the opposite. Players can only take a certain number of AI squadmates into missions, and with some skills being exclusive to certain characters, maintaining relationships is crucial in the fight against the Hallow Children and the player's survival in the field. The Consequence system also affects the way that the campaign of the story plays out, with the use of different characters in different situations influencing events and outcomes.

Full-featured Multiplayer Support

Binary Domain 2-10 player online multiplayer support. Seven game modes are represented in this, including: Free For All, Team Death Match, Team Survival, Operation (government forces vs. resistance forces), Data Capture, Domain Control and a 4-player co-op mode. All modes feature the choice of five character classes: Soldier, Scout, Sniper, Heavy Gunner and Striker. Each has a different appearance and different weapons.

Key Game Features

  • In the heat of battle, motivate and build trust within your squad and test your ability to make real time, difficult decisions knowing there will always be consequences

5.0 out of 5 stars An Incredibly Cheesy, Incredibly Fun, Just Plain Incredible Game
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2017
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase
SEGA has made some games that were actually really good that reviews just didn't get (Iron Man comes to mind), so every time I see a SEGA game for cheap that gamers like me enjoy, I try to give it a chance.

I actually had planned to play this one for five minutes and then trade it in, because I suspected from the cover art that it would be just another squad-based shooter. Thank goodness the only downside to this game IS the boxart! In actuality this game has more in common with a cover shooter like Mass Effect or it's ilk, if they featured ONLY robot enemies like SEGA's Gunblade. In addition, instead of fixed angle conversations, you can walk around (and zoom on the person talking) while conversations take place, and select dialog options from a quick pop-up menu. There's some great cheesy story cinematics like something out of Metal Gear Solid or Ghost In the Shell, but if you don't like them they are easily skipped.

The actual gameplay might not be quite as refined as some triple A games, but its incredibly fun. You have blind fire, pop-out of cover, zoomed fire (the usual). You also have a really simple upgrade and purchase system for each of your squadmates, and depending on which ones you pick you get different dialog that unfolds while you play. All this wouldn't amount to much except that it's all so incredibly high quality. The robots will crawl if you shoot out their legs, attack other robots if you shoot their heads off, and hold up shields. Your squadmates obey orders you give them (or not, i f they don't like you based on actions and dialog selections), and all of them have very distinctive personalities that make the game incredibly compelling in an unexpected way.

Dan is a generic action hero (you play as him), his buddy Boateng (yes, that's really his name) has a really great brother-from-another-mother vibe, and Faye is a stereotypical femme fatale (who is supposed to be Chinese but looks and sounds Latin). Again, it's unexpected in execution because I LOVE Bo, and Faye. I've played some really high budget games before like Halo, and I'm always conscious that my squadmates are NPCs. Playing this game, my squadmates seem like real people in the world of the game. Their movements are incredibly natural. Your crew doesn't stiffly walk, they swagger (or in Faye's case, sway) in a way that makes you feel like you are there with them and they are real people. Which is extraordinary considering that they are a bit cartoonish in every way.

Gameplay

Oh yes, the gameplay is mostly cover-based shooter, but in addition you get to snipe, throw explosives, and oh yeah, you get to play a bunch of other game modes (sliding down a spillway, a boat chase, shooting out the back of a vehicle while pursued by hordes of robots), and EVERY one of them is incredibly exciting and fun! You can grab weapons off of fallen robots and use them against them. If you have a headset you can actually talk to your squadmates to give them orders (I've never used it, but that's awesome). And I can't recall ever consciously noticing this in a game before, but the PACING of this game is perfect. You have action-packed levels with epic boss battles, broken up with cut-scenes at just the right moment to keep you from getting fatigued, and keeping the story rolling at a nice clip. In truth, this game is SO much fun, and is paced so perfectly to keep you interested, that it's one of the hardest games to put down I have ever played. It auto-saves periodically and chapters flow so smoothly that you just want to keep on playing to see what happens to the characters and what awesome thing you will see next.

Speaking of Awesome

I lost my save on my first playthrough and had to play the game through again, and thus is was that I realized that a big boss fight early in the game can be resolved in different ways. This isn't a game where you have to plant yourself in the enemy's blind spot and the only way to destroy the boss is to hit their weak point endlessly. Battles can work out different ways depending on the tactics you use. All this ends up making the game a lot more exciting, and the battles don't feel like you are playing a game. They feel like you are in the middle of an awesome sci-fi action movie.

And that's at the heart of what makes this not just a good game, but a GREAT game. You feel like you are right in the middle of an adventure, not like you are playing a video game. The chemistry between the characters is outstanding, the gameplay is amazing, and everything is so incredible it's like a wonderful breath of fresh air.

The graphics are very detailed, but the color pallet is very subdued and the enemies are very repetitive. This would make most games boring or uninteresting, but the sci-fi world is fascinating and detailed, and the character models, graphical effects, and sound design are outstanding. There isn't a single level in this game that feels like the LEVEL is repetitive. Every time you start to get bored the game mixes it up again and unloads a new round of delicious surprises on you.

I highly recommend this game to any fans of SEGA games, action games, or sci-fi shooters. There's lots of ROBOT violence (no shooting people, if you care about that, and I do), but they are skeleton robots ala Terminator. There's lots of sci-fi cheese, but it's absolutely delicious. And if you're like me you'll fall in love with the cast of characters (it warms my heart that the voice actors for Dan and Faye fell in love and got married in real life).

This game is a true hidden gem.

4.0 out of 5 stars A flawed but very fun shooter with a strong narrative
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2013
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase
Binary Domain is one of those games that you can't help but love despite it's glaring flaws. It's obvious that the game was a labor of love by some very skilled developers, and it's ambition and scope is quite admirable. It's a very fun game with a few glaring flaws, but none of this is enough to drag down what is a very enjoyable game that lingers long after you play it.

Binary Domain's major flaw is it's conversation/trust system. Being a third person, squad-based shooter, you lead a team of mercenaries with different combat specialties that can be constantly rotated in and out of your squad. The game incorporates a conversation system, where if you answer questions asked by your squad mates in a fashion that is favorable to them, their trust in you increases. On the contrary, if they don't like what you have to say, their trust will decrease. It's a very simplistic, almost forced mechanic that just feels amateurish and out of place. Even worse, is that you have the option to actually answer via voice through a microphone, but the speech recognition in the game is so broken, that it's just easier to use the conversation wheel. The trust levels supposedly affect how much your squad listens to you and obeys the tactical orders you issue while in battle, but again, this system is broken as well. They rarely do what you order them to do, which renders the entire dialogue and tactical orders systems irrelevant anyways. This whole concept should have been scrapped, because it just doesn't work like it should.

Aside from this, Binary Domain is a pretty damn good game. The story really surprised me by being incredibly exciting, affecting, and full of twists and turns that will surprise you repeatedly throughout. It reminded me of a good Philip K. Dick story with a healthy sprinkling of The Terminator. The supporting cast of characters, despite being somewhat stereotypical, are very charismatic and well written and voice-acted, which only helps to serve the narrative. The gameplay is excellent as well. The shooting is satisfying, especially once you upgrade your and your party's weapons and abilities via the many vending machines scattered throughout the game. You'll find yourself in the midst of some incredibly intense firefights quite often, with a nice variety of robot enemies and bosses to take down. Set pieces are epic and the game is filled with some really memorable moments all around. If you are a fan of third person shooters, this is one of the best ones to release in 2012 - a real sleeper hit.

Binary Domain is an awesome game despite its flaws. It's a shame that the game didn't get more attention, because it really does a lot of things very well. I hope the developers, who also did the beloved Yakuza games on PS3, revisit this IP in the future, as it could be an amazing next generation game with just a few fixes here and there. Check the game out in the meantime, as it delivers an really fun experience, especially for the very fair price amazon is charging for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good game, bad condition even though supposedly 'new'
Reviewed in Canada on September 9, 2015
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase
Amazing game but i am thoroughly disappointed with the condition i got the game in. It was advertised and purchased as brand new and came in sealed in one of those flimsy wraps. The paper sleeve had crease marks in the front and back, along the lines of the plastic case cavity, and to make matters worse, there was water damage to the top portion as well. The disc itself was in good condition and on further examination, it seemed like it hasn't been used.
Will have to rebuy the game as this kind of thing is bothersome to me.

You don't have an Xbox to play gears? Principle is the same ! Balanced third person shooter/cover game. Light story with a little bit of action including a voice recognition system makes it an interesting pick up. 20$ or less = take it
