I was kind of bummed to hear that Vanquish wasn't doing it for some of my peers at the last few press events I attended. I'm all about it, despite sucking at it. Yeah, it's a third-person shooter that my remind you of something else at first glance, but it's fast and crazy and quite the spectacle, and the Japanese twists on the formula have me interested in a genre that I don't typically love. Besides, Resident Evil's Shinji Mikami made this. It's going to be good, folks!
Maybe this trailer will hook you in. It does a good job of setting up the game's story and setting. You'll get some peeks at the game's big-assed boss battles, all of which look epic. There's claw grabbing, face punching and sh*t flying everywhere.
You know what? Screw the guys that aren't into Vanquish. This game looks great.

Why dont they release it for pc me wants.
DOU SVIDAHNYA.
obviously
Additionally. No QTEs. Just don't do it. I see a lot of cut-scenes in the trailer that look like they could be 'enhanced' by QTEs. Don't give into the temptation.
Other than that, I can't wait to jack this game straight into my bloodstream.
@Archwright
Well it IS Platinum Games SO expect QTE out the wazoo like Bayonetta. Which isn't totally a bad thing if done correctly.
I like it.
I'm so pumped for this fucking game. Its God Hand plus Gears of War mixed with some Bayonetta.
I never thought about that combo. That may be why this game looks fucking amazing.
There is no Japanese audio track. Platinum Games always does there games in English. Japan will get this same version but with Japanese subtitles.
Hope the levels are big enough and don't result in AWESOME-SLIDE-MOVE-stop-pop-shoot-pop-shoot-pop-shoot-AWESOME-SLIDE-MOVE... and so on.
@Ninja In Distress Ah, yes RE4, which practically reached absurdity in its voice direction. It was the perfect combination of B-movie awful and fucknuts awesome!
