Vanquish Trailer Reveals Tri-Weapon Pre-Order Pack
VanquishOkay, so you'll get the chance to give Vanquish a try next week and if that convinces you of a purchase, you might want to pre-order.
As usual, Platinum Games and Sega have used the power of video to announce the pre-order incentives for their upcoming title; they've been releasing gameplay trailers left and right ever since E3. So here's the pre-order goodies trailer: dropping your deposit will net you a special Tri-Weapon Pack that includes the Laser Cannon, the Anti-Armor Pistol, and the Boost Machine Gun. We had heard of these extra guns before, but this is the first time we get to see them in action. What do you think?
"War Has Accelerated." Yeah, that sounds about right. Vanquish is starting to get a ton of attention, and that has a lot to do with its super fast-paced intensity, over-the-top style, and classic Mikami panache. But as usual, gamers want to be able to play the game before making a decision, which is why that demo next week is greatly appreciated. It's actually hitting way early; the game isn't set to release until October 19.
So get your fill and if you find yourself playing that sample over and over, you have all the incentive you need to get these three bonus weapons.

Oct. 19? but MOH comes on Oct 12.
Darn I think I'll have to wait out on this game, but then I'll have GT5 come Nov... I think I am going to pass on this unless the demo plows my mind and I get it instead of MOH.
I have to decide quick too because my $20 off at Amazon expires Sept. 30th.

Aside from that, I realized this weekend how much I've moved away from games that are nothing but super fast action when my FPS-only playing friend saw me playing Uncharted 2 and said "Man I'd fall asleep playing this game." I sorta wanted to smack him, lol.

And hey, aren't you the guy who loves those Fallout games. I can't say much for washed out, but drab it is.

I only referenced Fallout because it's setting is drab, too.
Maybe Vanquish just isn't your kind of game.

That said, im still getting this game. Ha. I loved Resident Evil 4 too much to pass on a Mikami game. I know they will be nothing alike, but I like Mikami almost as much as i do Hideo Kojima. They seem to be the only two Japanese game designers left who care about making the best of the best rather then selling out to Western influences. While this game is more Western then i would expect from Mikami, watching the trailers, i can see a good mix of west and east.

I don't expect much from the story or cinematic presentation, because from I can gather it doesn't look like it's trying too hard on that end. But this is intense combat action, right? I usually skip passed that kind of stuff just to get to the meat of the play.
Who knows? Maybe it'll be my Ninja Gaiden of TPS.
I hope that it offers enough combat detail where a person really needs to play it through multiple times to master all the idiosyncrasies of play.
Classics like PS2-Shinobi, Ninja Gaiden and Gunvalkeryie were a lot like that.

(mainly the fact that there is no multiplayer, i hope the story is good enough, but paying 60 bux for a game that wont last me a week is hard for me to do. most single player games never last me more than 2 or 3 days, much less a week)
but if the demo is good, i may pick it up at a discounted price later on

its releasing 6 weeks before the game, none of this 1-2 weeks before crap! and its a whole level so i assume its safe to say its going to be a dam site longer than 5 minutes!
though there going to have to pull 50 rabbits out of a single hat to get me to buy this one!
bayonetta had me so excited, and disappointed me so much!
sega has not released a single good game this gen!
not one!
the best game they have released this gen is alpha protocol, and if thats not pathetic i dont know what is!
o, what ever happened to the gaming giant?

As far as pre-ordering it, I just looked last night and there are no fewer than 8 games I'm interested in coming out this year. The demo will have to REALLY impress me to get to the top of that list :)
