Well, I blew my load right up there in the headline, so there's not much to say here. I guess I can tell you that I played Sega and Platinum's Vanquish at E3 and was quite impressed. This shooter is crazy, fast, and stylistic -- no silly musclebound meatheads here. The gameplay is insane, but also makes you feel like a bit of a badass as you make your way through the insanity. I really dug that.
As for the date, Famitusu's latest issue has a Vanquish spread that drops the October 21st date in its info box, says Siliconera.
If what Sega was saying earlier holds, we'll also see our copies hit the shelves around the same time.
If you missed it, here's our full preview of Vanquish from E3.

The timing sounds great though, by then I'll be about ready to put Halo: Reach on pause.
The gameplay video posted a while back is from the PS3 version and seems to be running well. Can't really tell the visual quality from a video like that, but I'd like to think Platinum Games wants to save face after their lackluster treatment of Bayonetta, only to have the PS3 version sell a little better, so they'll really be giving Vanquish the best effort they can.
Besides, history has shown that PS3 lead development and porting to 360 makes it good all around. Why do it any other way?
Yeah, We wont be able to tell for ourselves until we actually get our hands on it. I only have a PS3 so obviously i bought Bayonetta on it and although it did have its issues it did not detract too much from the experience. And as far as the latter of your statement, i am in total agreement. Well said my friend.

Ghostbusters would like a word with you ;)
(That was totally meant as a joke, by the way!)
