Game that went under the radar: Vanquish

I think it looks good.

Halo'ish in TPS + reminds me a little of Lost Planet...

Allegedly the game is around 80 percent done at this point, with only "annoying" work left to (enemy and ally AI are among the few tasks left). Will we see Vanquish on North American shores this winter as well? We're unfortunately not sure just yet, but with the game "developed with overseas markets in its sights," we have to imagine Platinum Games would like its latest title to land in our trigger-happy hands as soon as possible.

Asked to describe Vanquish, Mikami answered with "Shooter." One of the big reasons for going with this genre, he explained, is that it's being developed not just for Japan, but with overseas markets in its sights.

"Making a normal shooter wouldn't be interesting," continued Mikami, "so it has the concept of the feeling of speed and good tempo, and something flashy. There are lots of games where you shoot and kill people, so this time we wanted to try and see how we could convey the good feeling of shooting robots."

Famitsu pointed out that Mikami has the image of making action games rather than shooters, to which he responded: "It will be a shooter that places importance on the good tempo and feeling of rhythm you get from playing an action game." The boss battles in particular will approach action games, he said.

Outside of the main interview, the magazine mentioned a few more specific areas for the game. One major feature is the use of "boosts," which can be used to close the distance to your enemy quickly. The game also has a large variety of close-range attacks along with a "Bullet Time" feature which lets you slow time down.

In addition to the speed being fast, you'll find that lots of enemies come out and attack. "Compared to a normal shooter, there's more information," said Mikami. One area of concern, he said, has been to keep there from being too much information, which would leave players not knowing what to do.

I like it so far.

A collaboration; Sega, Platinum Games and Shinji Mikami.

Coming out Winter 2010 (hopefully)

They look like a mix between Halo and Bomberman Zero. O_O'

It was only just announced and it still doesn't have a release date. It can't have been overlooked yet, it's still early and they haven't even started hyping it.

Usually you say a game, "went under the radar", when it comes out and is overlooked.

There was actually news on this title since Jan 2010...

You can check 1up for more on that.

Yeah cuz i don't have enought 3rd action person shooters in my live already.
Shinji Mikami should be making a survival-horror game not this.
Shinji i am dissapoint.

So long as the story has some element and volume I think I'll keep an eye out.

It does look pretty good.
I'll wat and see how it turns out.

Wow, this game actually looks cool. I'll keep an eye on it. Pretty graphics by the way!

it looks awesome

I say demon souls was under the radar too

Halo Legends was pretty good.Some mess up's but still good.

But back to the point,think about this......

Amagine what a Japanese Halo would be like.

Then you will see my point.

@Arbiteris
