Wind and Rain Come Record 4

"Stormy Record 4" is a travel adventure game mainly set in Gifu Prefecture, released on PS4 and Nintendo Switch on July 8, 2021. Players take on the role of journalists to ride and gather information, using live panoramic photos to document the scenery along the way and participate in reporting competitions.

Match coverage

The protagonist is a mid-career reporter participating in "Nohicon," invited by Gifu Shimbun to cover the story. The competition lasts four weeks, with visits to attractions during the day and photos and articles organized in the evening. The manual sets the deadline at 28 days, with reporting stopped on Sundays; Movement and investigation both consume stamina.

360-degree travel

Motorcycle movement uses 360-degree live camera footage; players can choose the road at intersections and also rotate their perspective to observe the roadside. The vehicle is a Yamaha MT-10 SP. After arriving at a scenic spot, switch to exploration; the player can choose the angle of the photo; Some events only occur at specific times. Route freedom combined with time constraints affects how much coverage can be completed in a week.

Attractions and feedback

This article features various types of attractions such as Gifu Castle, Naegi Castle, Tokuyamaba, and Magome. Maps can mark destinations, and information gathered may open new locations. After the article is published, readers can view comments and likes, and the results can be confirmed in the competition leaderboard.

Surrounding eight counties

On September 30, 2021, four additional "Let's Stretch Out a Little Trip" area were introduced: Shizuoka and Nagano, Toyama and Ishikawa, Fukui and Shiga, and Mie and Aichi. The road extends outward from Gifu, and some attractions require passing by or completing reports on related topics first.

Development Origin

After the FOG business was taken over by Nippon Ichi Software, Kenya Shiina, who participated in the third installment, joined in 2019 to promote the fourth game's planning. The reason for choosing Gifu as the stage for the development interview is the convenience of gathering materials and the introduction of local landscapes; This work continues the series structure of visits, discovering material, and writing reports.

Riyang and Chui, whom I met on the journey

Yuzuhara Riyou rides an FZR, passionate about sightseeing and sightseeing. She meets the protagonist by chance and shares a bond over motorcycles and travel. Another traveler, Taru Use, was a graduate student studying local history and customs, with extensive knowledge of local legends.

Beneath her cheerful exterior, she has a chili advantage

Chiari Masato appears cheerful, but seems to be hiding worries. When the protagonist took the initiative to strike up a conversation, she would jokingly ask if he was trying to strike up a conversation, without showing her troubles in her usual attitude.

Vehicle collaboration and imaging solutions

During the production of "Stormy Memories 4," Shiina explained the project and release plan at Yamaha's Iwata headquarters, initially planning to borrow about 250cc bikes and switch to the MT-10 SP. Early series were limited by equipment and main machines, so they could enlarge road photos to simulate travel; The 360-degree concept was removed due to technical limitations in the third installment and was only realized in the fourth installment.

Navigation after marking the map

The map not only shows accessible attractions but also shows routes to those locations. After marking a scenic spot as a destination, the system will navigate along the route; This combines with choosing the direction at intersections along the route to form a mode of movement.

Shooting angles and timing of events

When photographing attractions, you can also rotate the 360-degree view, choose the direction of viewing, and press the shutter at your preferred time. However, some scenes will only be filmed during the event at the scenic spot, so please pay attention to the timing of the shoot.

Eight Counties DLC: Combination of Access and Reporting Conditions

One of the question mark spots also required visits to a certain location in Shiga and a report on an abandoned station in Gifu. Other public notices also cover quarries, springs, and reports on Toyotomi Hideyoshi's historical sites and dangerous routes.
