New Vanquish screens look absolutely f*cking gorgeous photo

Here are some fresh screenshots for Platinum Games' superb looking Vanquish. Either these have been touched up like crazy, or Platinum has done some amazing work over the past few weeks, because the new images look absolutely stunning. 

Check out the substantial gallery below and let us know what you think. Having already played a little piece of this, I am confident that Platinum's knocked it out of the park again and I can't wait to play the full thing. Give it to me now please!

God, I can't wait for this game. But yeah, the graphics seem much improved from the initial batch of photos. Nice to finally have a render of the main character (Sam Gideon?) too. Between this, Metroid Other M and Devil's Third, it seems like a great time for Japanese-developed shooters.

Wow, reminds me of Dead Space, purely based on the look of the character and angular environment. I must have only seen bad quality video's cause I never though it look that good, can't wait till October 22 (UK).

I'm rarely interested in pure shooters (fps or tps) but this game looks like loads of fun.

If those aren't touched up then hell yeah those are amazing.

Seeing as I won't be playing a screenshot, in not going to let these hype me up too much. Mostly because every second of footage I've seen thus far has already inflated my excitement to near zeppelin proportions!

Well maybe all the screen shots we've seen thus far have been from the 360, and these are from the ps3 version? Could be and if so both versions are looking awesome!

does this mean that Japan is back to its 1997-2002 glory days ?

I am getting more and more excited for this game. YESSS, awesomeness. I am stoked Platinum is shaping up to be the great japanese developer of years past, and if they can make this as good or better than bayonetta, then I will be buying on day one, and I'll pray they keep on making em.

Don't worry about it Stinky, Sexualchocolate is the resident PS3 fanboy on Destructoid.

Also Platinum Games can do no wrong, their game's graphics are an extension of that.

Anybody else starting to notice that the game is rather colorful in a subtle way?

I don't know. The whole thing looks way too busy; too much flashy shit at once being thrown in your face.

Wait what? No online play? Can someone confirm this?

Jeesus, a "must buy" turns instantly into a "will rent".

I hate to say it but I'm a time = money person and no online play would really make me struggle to buy ANY game unless it's something like Fallout with 100 hours of play to be had.

I do 99% of my gaming online, so games without online portions will not get a buy from me, usually unless they're going to draw me in for a long time.

I don't replay games, so a single playthrough on an action game is not wirth the asking price for a new game to me.

I really hope you're wrong dude and that this awesome looking game has online play.
