New From PlatinumGames: Vanquish

The Bayonetta people have dropped the first teaser video for their next big action title.

Done with Bayonetta yet? PlatinumGames hopes so, because they've already revealed their next big action game, Vanquish. This one comes from Shinji Mikami, whose pedigree boasts no less than "creator of Resident Evil." So you'll probably want to pay attention to this.
 
 

   
 
No real info about the game yet, including what platform(s) it will appear on, but then you may be too busy looking at the large-scale orbital destruction of San Francisco to care. I'm also kind of excited to see some live-action footage of real actors in this clip. Despite the great work with motion-captured CG characters in games like Uncharted 2 recently, I think there's still room for real footage in game cinematics if it's used tastefully.
 
Does this pique your interest in any way? And does it remind you of anything?

I was into the Live Action stuff, but the Game part just looked like Halo, which I do not like.

I have no idea what this is going to be like as a game, but Shinji Mikami made some of the greatest games of the last generation, so my interest is quite peaked.

Look decent, with a chance to be pretty good. Knowing Mikami, it'll actually have a plot, which will help a lot. Need to know a bit more about the characters, the gameplay and the camera angles before I'm really psyched, though, because it currently looks like the "next generation" of space marines in the same sense that Avatar is the "next generation" of sci-fi: making the experience more immersive but overall less effective.

"Peaceful nation". LOL, right...
 
As for the game itself, kinda looks like Halo being revamped. I'll have to wait for some actual gameplay footage to further comment upon it.

" Mass Effect 2 pretty much killed other sci-fi games for me. Nothing will ever top that. Well maybe Mass Effect 3 :-)

Hey look, it's a Master Chief-esque dude sent to retaliate for the destruction of a major United States city.  God knows we've never seen this before.  YAWN.

The cutscenes are graphically stunning, I must say. I wonder how it looks in-game.

More than a hint of influence from some of those Halo 3 ads and Neil Blomkampf trailers.  Vanquish trailer still got my attention but I'm going to need a bit more than a generic armored space dude facing down a generic bipedal mech to go on...

Damn...looks pretty cool I think. Obvious similarities to the Chief but a nice look for a sci-fi hero.

I've already got Halo thanks. Also, nothing against America or Americans, but what is it about it always solely being Americans that defend earth?
What about Russia, Germany, France, Britain or China?
These are the other super powers that seem to be forgotten or made into the occupiers of innocent countries. (you don't have to say anything about the past Germany in world war 2, I'm talking of recent/futuristic in-game Allied forces not past enemy Nazi forces.)
 
Now don't get me wrong, I like Americans, I've got several American freinds over Xbox Live. It just seems like thats all we get.
Thank goodness for Metro 2033 I guess.
 
To further make my point, why do all aliens in the Mass Effect Universe have American accents? I mean the universal translator will translate to our own personal languages but not accents. Shouldn't it?

I'm American and totally agree.  I'd like to see other countries represented in space federations that represent all of earth.  It really is pretty weird.  Also Tali is not speaking with an American accent... I'm not going to show my ignorance by trying to guess what it is... but I'm certain it isn't American.

The still shot on the main page reminds me of the music video for Radiohead's "No Surprises".

It reminded me of a more clean future GunValkyrie style game.
