Platinum Games (proud non-porter for Bayonetta) and SEGA are proud to announce that their upcoming shooter, Vanquish, isn’t just your regular old shooter. In fact, it’s going to be a brand new take on the shooter genre entirely.
According to Shinji Mikami in the latest issue of PlayStation Magazine:
“In making Vanquish, I wanted to create a game that was speedier and more acrobatic than other shooters,” he said. “It’s a brand new kind of shooting game that’s incredibly tense.”
Mikami adds: “I wanted to make a shooter where the player is active – taking people on. I didn’t want the game to be like other third-person action titles, where people are just trying to survive, taking pot-shots at enemies from behind cover. So it is this aggression and active spirit that I wanted to capture with Vanquish”
No offense to Mikami, but the description he’s giving can be used to describe pretty much 50% of the shooters available on the market. Considering the poor end result of Bayonetta on the PlayStation 3, it’s going to be hard for PS3 owners to justify continuing to support a title from Platinum Games. It’ll be interesting to see how this one plays out.
hum ps3 lead plat. that could be good be 4 ps3 owners and 4 360 owners it might be just a bit worse hopefully get wat we got wit bayonetta just 2 make them mad
this is plat games last chance.
god of war 3
just saying ^^
Platinum Games better put 110% in this game and not give another crappy port like Bayonetta.

Sega ported it, not Platinum Games. It was also patched so the load times are not as bad since you can now install the game.
sure hope so, i think the fps genra its getting too repetitif
Good to know that PS3 is lead platform other wise i wouldn’t even had touched it with a stick. By the looks of the article screenshot it seems to be a Halo but with different color scheme
