First gameplay trailer for VANQUISH
Shinji Mikami’s VANQUISH gets its first gameplay trailer and it seems to have delivered on all fronts. At least to me, this looks like an excellent game.
I love the cheesy voice acting, I love how crazy fast, big explosions, and how it does not take itself seriously. Moving train levels, big bosses and fast combat? I want. Though the facial motion capture looks pretty bad.
SEGA confirms E3 line-up
SEGA has confirmed what they will show at the show, at least on the show floor. Meaning playable in some form.
- VANQUISH
- Conduit 2
- Sonic Colors
- Shogun 2: Total War
- Tournament of Legends
- Phantasy Star Portable 2
- Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Ep 1
Pretty solid show floor line-up, of course, they will have some surprises for the press. It should be a fun E3 and we will obviously update you on what they have. E3 starts on June 15th and ends on the 17th.

New Vanquish Scans
More scans for the up coming Sega/Platinum 3rd person shooter Vanquish. Naoya Tsurumi recently spoke openly about Vanquish saying that Sega will be giving it a big push this year. This already suggests great faith in a quality game.
Scans and Summery below.

Shinobi character designer working on Vanquish
Makoto Tsuchibayashi, character designer for games like Mega Man Legends (personal favorite of mine), Devil May Cry, Shinobi and Nightshade is working on Vanquish, they upcoming title by Platinum Games.
He confirmed his involvement via the hip social networking site twitter, by doing what all hipsters do, “tweeting.”

New Vanquish screenshots!
Now these are screens worth getting excited about! Bayonetta is easily one of
my favorite games this year and I just can’t wait to see what the boys at Platinum have in store with Vanquish!
Really what I want to see is some game play and maybe some new environments but I’ll take what I can get!
Enjoy these new screens, See more HERE!
New action packed Vanquish screens
Here are new screenshots of Platinum Games’ Vanquish, directed by Shinji Mikami. The game has had a projected released date for Winter 2010 in Japan, nothing announced for the West yet.
The game will be coming out on both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Vanquish OXM preview scans
OK, they are not really scans, more like pictures. We lied, give us a break, scans sound better than saying “Vanquish OXM Preview pictures.”
“However, this has to be the most intense game we’ve seen since Gears of War 2.”
Am I the only one that thinks the Gears of War games are slow and not very well designed? Can’t go into the dark? Really? The game is looking great, lets hope its nothing like Gears of War.

First Vanquish screenshots released
Lets be honest, you can’t see anything on those blurry screenshots released in the Famitsu magazine; so the boys at Platinum Games have decided to release screens for the game.
I got to be honest, this game looks a ton better than Lost Planet, color me interested; especially after seeing it will have fast combat. To see the rest of the shots and description of the game, hit the jump!
Vanquish coming to PS3 and Xbox 360
The Famitsu magazine (same one that showed the new Project Diva game) also has an interview with Shinji Mikami, director of Vanquish. He confirms that the game will be out by Winter 2010 (at least in Japan) and that it is not a ‘normal’ shooter. You won’t be shooting humans, only robots.
One thing I do see in the magazine though, is that it is a multi-platform game, not an exclusive as rumored before. Maybe this PS3 port will be better than Bayonetta? I hope so. Also screens make it look like a fast paced 3rd person shooter.

With out further ado, hit the jump to find out more!
Rumor: Vanquish to be a shooter
There have been a ton of rumors flying around about Vanquish, the new title by Platinum Games. One of the rumors was that it was a Playstation 3 exclusive because of a leak were SEGA mentioned it might have PSP connectivity and after the trailer hit the internet, everyone assumed it was a shooting game. It seems that both rumors might be correct, according to the Official Playstation Magazine podcast.
“Next time we’ll be talking shooters with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Vanquish and another very special game yet to be announced.”
Sure this does not make it a Playstation 3 exclusive, but I have yet to see any signs to point at a 360 version and we all know that Mikami is not scared of going exclusive. See: Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4. Also the guys at OPM have said its a shooter…
(Yes, I know that everyone is excited about the ‘very special game’ that is yet to be announced, that is cool, but its not a SEGA game!)
