Preorder Vanquish, get Bayonetta free! (Europe only)

I think I have just found the best deal of all time!

For a limited time only, if you pre-order Vanquish from PLAY.com not only will you get the fancy special edition game sleeve but you’ll get Bayonetta completely free. Unfortunately for those amongst us that are not in Europe this deal is not open to you, sorry. The deal is Europe only I’m afriad.

Now if you haven’t already got Bayonetta then slap yourself on the wrist. Bayonetta is fantastic… Vanquish is shaping up to be just as addictive and just as fun. So this deal is a must for those of you with no Bayonetta to show for yourself. Hell, this deal is so good it’s pretty much a must for everyone.

Vanquish Second Demo: ‘Challenge mode’ Available! [update]

You can now download the second Vanquish demo from the Japanese Xbox Live Arcade and Japanese PSN.  So if you haven’t already you need to make a Japanese account.

This is as simple as creating a new XBLA or PSN profile and setting your location to Japan.

This new demo dubbed ‘Challenge mode’ is made specifically for the ‘core’ gamers and the name pretty much sums it up. You must survive 5 waves of enemies and do it in the quickest time with the most points.

From what I have read around other forums some people are finding it hard just to finish! But that wont be a problem for us hardened Sega gamers right?!

[Update] Turns out it is XBLA Gold account only so unless you have a Japanese gold account you are screwed.

Vanquish – Tokyo Game Show Story Trailer

“The end of San Francisco is the beginning of a race against time to ensure that New York doesn’t follow suit.
War has accelerated. This is VANQUISH.”

Another fantastic trailer from Tokyo Game Show. This new Vanquish trailer focuses mainly on the story behind the madness that is Vanquish. Be warned it could possibly hold a few spoilers.

There is still more then enough game play to get your juices flowing. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this cannot come soon enough.

I’m getting this game day one.

Vanquish – Fan Made Trailer

Here is a trailer for Vanquish made by a fan, it is comprised solely of game play found in the recently released Demo. (Available on XBLA and PSN.)

Not only is it a pretty cool trailer, but it should give you some pretty good ideas and tips on how to play Vanquish creatively. It sure made me want to boot up the demo again and give some of these moves a try!

Vanquish story trailer

This awesome new story trailer for Vanquish has got me right pumped!

To be quite honest I haven’t really been looking forward to the story of Vanquish I suspected it might be a bit of a throw away story to help set up the mad situations the main character may find himself in. Like Bayonetta. I’m in love with the game play in demo though.

However now, after this frankly very cool trailer, I’m excited for both. Bring on Vanquish!

Vanquish E-smokes!

At a recent event Sega were giving out one of the coolest promotional items I’ve seen in a while; E-Cigarettes!

If you aren’t clued in on E-Cigarettes yet let me give you a little rundown on what these things are. Basically E-Cigs are an electronic substitute for cigarettes in which you inhale a vaporized form of nicotine with out the tobacco often used by people trying to quit.

A friend of mine uses these, when you smoke them the end glows neon blue instead of red… It looks pretty cool honestly!

Vanquish difficulty modes revealed

Check out this screenshot of the Vanquish start menu, it seems to suggest that Vanquish will follow in Bayonettas footsteps with an ‘Easy Automatic’ mode now called ‘Casual Auto’. I’m not entirely sure how that would work with a 3rd person shooter so that’ll be interesting to see.

It also has a ‘God Hard’ mode, Always a pleaser with the more hardcore gamers out there… I wonder if that could be a little nod to ‘God Hand’ one of Mikami’s pervious games at Capcom? Who knows.

Alpha Protocol Multipath Trailer.

The nifty Alpha Protocol trailer with multiple choice endings is now up on youtube. (So we can finally embed it on Segabits now! Thanks Sega!)

When you hear the woman say ‘Where too Mike?’ you can choose the next step of the trailer by simply clicking on the destination you want on the video. Then it will promptly load the next part. If you ask me it’s a pretty cool way to highlight the ‘choice system’ of the game
