Here's Platinum's Vanquish In Action

 Is Steve Blum becoming the new Nolan North or something? 
Not that I'm complaining, really...

" Wait, wait, wait... San Francisco? They blew up San Francisco?   Why? I understand that it is one of America's major cities, but why not turn it an hour north and destroy the capital of the state? Sure, Sacramento is already half destroyed simply because of how terrible the city is, but at least you're crippling one of the most important states in the entire country. OR, you could turn it south and destroy either L.A. or San Diego.    No, I take it back. Destroy San Francisco, but don't come complaining to me when we run out of awesome bread.  "

" I don't know... I just don't know. "

Looks cool, but the VO is terrible.

I was impressed. At first I could give a shit about the game. This new trailer has me excited. Hopefully they show more at E3. I need more info. As of right now, Im completely interested.

Kind of looks like the craziness of Bayonetta, but with guns. 
 
That being said, I'm excited.

I don't know... I just don't know.

Man, now I'm disappointed... After having seen that awesome teaser trailer I thought this was going to be a game worth picking up the first day. But I can already see that I'm gonna stay as far away from this game as possible.

"Your mission, agent, is to stop 'that' from happening. Do you have the strength to stop that?"
 
"Mama, look!"
"You dumb bitch, run!"
 
This is definitely not what I was expecting after that awesome slow-paced teaser trailer. Looking to be a crazy third-person on-foot action shooter. Reminds me of Einhander, or some similarly awesome PS1 game.

"That opening line was absolutely horrible.  "We have 8 hours to stop THAT from happen. We will stop THAT from happening."  Other than that, looks mad Japanese. A whole load of shit on the screen as far as HUD goes. "

So Yeah this looks all kinds of awesome. Day 1 get for me

Okay, I saw rocket powered space marine flipping around stuff and I knew I would like this.

gears of halo:  japanese explosion edition

I hope no one here actually thinks that is the final VO. I bet it's the janitor/guy with the deepest voice in the studio recording place holder crap for now.

.... This looks shit and not in the fun 'God Hand' way. I could see getting a headache playing it. Also we appear to have hillary clinton as president. This is looking more dystopian by the second.

Platinum Games is officially one of mt favorite developers now.

Looks like something I would REALLY not enjoy. But that's just me. I can see how others could dig it.

I think this game has potential, honestly I'm getting this vibe of a mech-suit game, so all the awesomeness of jet packs/boots and ammo-counts in the thousands. Yet, it also looks like it's going to control like a person in a friggin' robot suit instead of the normal chromehounds/ArmoredCore fair of the somewhat slower robots (Yes I know they're weight is in the tons, yes I know that by laws of physics they can't move fast, but they don't make games about hauling cargo across country in 18 wheelers...oh wait they do, never mind)
 
Over-all, looking forward to this, maybe a rent at first unless I see a quick-look.

I have a soft spot for mech suits. Definitely interested in how this turns out.

oh look. ANOTHER SPACE MARINE GAME.

Platinum Games + Director of Resident Evil 4?
 
I'm in.

The Story and dialog seem god awful, everything else looks brilliant.

Uhhhh looks iffy. If it wasn't for the Mikami this would be incredibly stupid. Really generic looking art design (Deus Ex is where I would like something like this to go), and mindless combat That being said look at God Hand. That looks awful on the surface. The gameplay is even a little broken, but it turned out to be pretty good.

I don't get why people have to keep making comments about how [game x] is Japanese and therefore bad.

That opening line was absolutely horrible.
 "We have 8 hours to stop THAT from happen. We will stop THAT from happening."

Gears of Halo

Oh dear God. Loving the movement.

Returning missiles to sender via slam dunk? I'm in.

" OHGREN! from dragon age lol "

Dragon kick your ass into the milky way.

Daaamn son

Metal Gear?

My God, It's third person shooter on steroids!

Resident Evil in space with jetpacks? Count me in.

With San Fransisco gone I guess Giantbomb won't be able to review this game.

Yeah, because Lost Planet was totally a cover based and fast paced game. This looks more like Devil May Cry with more guns than anything else. "

I meant in the sense that it a bummy japanese attempt at a shooter. cover mechanics or lack there of are irrelevant. go ahead and have hope, I will play the cynic this time.  "

I don't get it when people make comments like this. This game isn't being developed by the Lost Planet people. It's being directed by Shinji Mikami, the dude whose game all modern Western third-person shooters imitate. Gears of War, Uncharted, Dead Space, inFamous, you name it -- all of them are designed the way they are because of this guy's game. And even five years after its original release, Resident Evil 4 is still one of the best third-person shooters -- and arguably one of the best games, period -- of all time.It's kind of like saying Miyamoto's next Mario game is going to be a "bummy Japanese attempt at a platformer". If this was just any Japanese developer, sure, cynicism would be warranted. But it's not, and it's not. "

RE4 was horrible and killed the franchise.  "

That's you talking about Resident Evil 4 as a survival horror game (though I would argue that the previous Resident Evil games were horrible -- they weren't scary, they controlled like shit, and... well, that's really all you need to completely ruin horror games -- so there wasn't anything to kill). As a shooter, it's absolutely fantastic, as evident by the way almost every single subsequent third-person shooter -- and even a bunch of non-shooters, like Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Batman: Arkham Asylum -- worth a damn has imitated it. It's one of the decade's most influential games for a reason. "

It's like a 3rd person bullet hell. Iz nice.

Might be this generations Super Contra. Hopefully it turns out well. Really would love getting a modern take on the jump and shoot forumla of yesteryear. Translating the Super Contra feel successfully into the third dimension. That be truely a huge gamedesign achievement. 
 
Go Platinum! Go!
