New Vanquish Details, and screens

[Happy Cat]

saw this shit on neogaf

Swedish mag LEVEL has a 6-page preview of the game in their latest issue. They also interviewed Mikami and Inaba during a conference. A couple of highlights:

• The game is a lot faster than traditional third person shooters. Sam can boost from cover to cover, quick tempo and intensity seems to be keywords when designing the game.
• According to the article, the action is only ever paused to allow Sam to take a couple of drags on his cigarett (which apparently explains the low placement of his visor.
• The game plays more like a shmup a la Sin & Punishment rather than Gears of War.
• Sam carries one gun, which the suit can transform into another gun, for example a shotgun turns into a machine gun. Real-time weapon morphing?!
• close quarter combat plays a major role.
• Mikami admits that the game looks very similar to other shooters on the surface, but promises that the speed and tempo will set it apart.
• Inaba says that "Mikami is free to do whatever he wants"
• The author of the article is not too impressed by neither story nor cinematics and thinks that the game works best when it focuses on the intense action.
• Mikami opens the conference by saying "Is there anyone from IGN here? Thanks for that God Hand review".


All in all it looks pretty awesome, hoping it will deliver a solid gameplay experience a la God Hand.

No glueing cover system, please. Or the gameplay made around it, please. I really want to like this but it feels so much like Gears of War... I have no expectations at all.

Waiting for a demo, just because.

I dislike both Sin & Punishment and Gears of War and I hate a lot of Mikami's games so the more I hear about it, the more I doubt I will like this at all.

I thought you liked Gears? We played through the whole first game in co-op once.

 I think this game will fail... does not looks fun. PN03 was not fun.

I personally think it looks pretty solid. What specifically don't people like about this?

[Orta]

It reminds me too much of Gears of War. I'm sorry to anyone who likes the game but it's not that good. To me it's barely passable. From the screenshots, I feel Vanquish will have too much of GoW in it.

I hope I'm wrong, it's Shinji Mikami after all.

Games based on gameplay innovations are so last gen. . . :roll:  without 3D and motion control it might not meet my 13 year old cousin's space marine stamp of approval.

I think seeing it in motion is gonna help a lot to understand what they're going for.  I expect it to be really fast and fluid.  I don't think it has a Gears of War meathead muscleman-fantasy vibe at all.

Dude, not to sound like a dick, but... Your signature has an image of the canceled SEGA VR that had motion controls and was designed with the tween market in mind... Not to mention the game that was pitched about it originally was a military game...
