Ten Minutes Of Vanquish!

Platinum is bringing back score based gaming. I hope the PS3 version has leaderboards with viewable replays.

playing this game like gears or mass effect is boring.
 
 
 
its also not the point of the experience entirely.  demo is amazing, cannot wait for october.

Didn't know the demo was actually out. Having seen this now, fairly interested in it now.

Awesome, showing content JUST AFTER the demo.  People need more content rather than stuff they can experience (if that is doable).
 
Another Ryan taking Giant Bomb to school quicklook

Breaks my heart that this game is only coming out on consoles. It looked like it would have been fun to play.

" For the most part I enjoyed it, though that boss in the demo was a bit tedious. But what I dont get is that essentially you have 3 different moves that all do the same thing.  press X and you dive or slide to cover, Press A and you do a forward backflip dodge, Press the left shoulder button, and you knee slide out of danger.  Am I the only one that felt that all 3 of these moves did the same thing?  On top of that, you expose yourself when you blindfire.. whats the point?  blindfire and target fire are exactly the same animation with the camera slightly zoomed in.  I like the game, I just think they are blinding copying  (as well as blinding omitting) moves from  gears and not fully understanding the purpose of those moves.. "

So are you required to be on meth when you place this or is it just recommended?

" Probably the first Japanese developed game I've seen that doesn't immediately seem terrible since Dead Rising. I'm sure they'll find a way to force in archaic mechanics and dull grind gameplay somehow. "

I don't know about this one. I'm getting some Lost Planet vibes off this game in terms of character movement (while not sliding), aiming and firing. Perhaps I'm not much of a Japanese third-person shooter kind of guy. Will try the demo though and see for myself.

That looks awesome!
After Bayonetta, I <3 Platinum Games!

This looks kinda cool.  It does however just simply remind me that I should really try and get my hands on Bayonetta for cheap some time soon.

Awesome action and character animations, but very poor dialogue.
Also, I'm with Brad here, I hope there'll be some puzzle solving or at least some areas where you won't be running and shooting all the time, or it'll get boring real fast.
Finally... Russians, again? Really?? : /

Looks shit hot

That little punching sequence totally reminded me of God Hand.

I assume you're only into "Western" genres (shooters, real-time strategy games, racing games, open-world stuff et cetera), because Japan are still absolutely dominating a bunch of genres with games that make their Western competitors seem archaic, dull and grindy in comparison. "

Real-time...Weapon change?

I'm not doubting you, but could you list some examples? I need some games to play. "

I never thought I'd hear Ryan say "sticky wicket".

to those hating on the games dialogue about it being crap its spouse to be horrible lol
 
i mean play bayonetta... 
also i think they choose russians because EVERYONE is using russians as the bad guys now a days  there prolly gonna spoof that also its easy to tell that the charecters look like very generic space marines xD.
 
all im saying its one of those games you dont take with any seriousness and just have a blast playing ..like bayonetta.

now that i think about it there space suits remind me of the ones in that one dino crises game set in space

why can they only show 10 miuntes? i mean, the demo is out, couldnt they QL the demo and show all they want?

Huh. Why isn't this called a Quick Look? I almost skipped it cause I thought it was just a gameplay promo trailer.

Give me back my money! That was no 10 minutes!

Generic syfy shooter FTL, It's like Stranglehold meets Gears of War.  I would rather play Stranglehold AGAIN than this mishmash GAAHBAGE!
 
NEXT!!

Pretty sure the old guy has the same voice actor as Oghren from Dragon Age.

Awesome

Was not expecting this. Looks pretty crazy fun.

After playing the demo myself, I have to say the the game looks AMAZING visually, but the gameplay is just not where it should be.  The shooting just doesn't feel very solid, and you'll find yourself getting killed for no real reason (the first time, I was crushed by a car that came flying out of nowhere, that I'm guessing the developers didn't think that there would be anyway that the player would be standing there, and the next time I was just magically blown up.  No idea how).  Could be good, but my guess is it'll only be worth picking up when it's had a nice little price drop.

You sly dogs, this is a Quick Look in disguise!

Pretty much. Any time I pick up a japanese game, I can tell immediately because they tend to prioritize animation over gameplay and make no attempt at immersion or interactive storytelling. The most awkward trend I've seen, that this game may or may not be an end to, is Japanese developers trying to filter Western gameplay styles into their games and it just feeling shoddy. Resident Evil 5 is a key example of that. On thing I notice that I always think about, and it's a slight thing, is in GTA or something, if you take your character and run into the wall, there's an animation there where the player character reacts to the contact and stops or moves in a different way. In Devil May Cry 4, Resident Evil 5, Lost Planet, Lost Planet 2 and others that I've played, they keep doing the standard run animation but not getting anywhere. Maybe it's unfair because all the examples I'm picking are Capcom but I know there's others. In the modern day of gaming, that just seem inadequate to me. Dead Rising felt like a real success to me and the more I think about it, the more that feels like an accident. It's so awkward in a lot of the execution of its ideas that it becomes an actual game of survival, which is what a good zombie game should be, in my opinion. "

Oh man, I wish all my stuff wasn't in boxes pre-move. I'd love to be rocket-kicking some robots in their metal faces right now.

Awesome

" Looks boring, as other third person shooters. "

This looks pretty badass. I'm diggin the flashy slide. :P

Definitely enjoyed the demo of this game.

" @Icemael: To me, not having the wall animation, among others, shatters immersion because it's similar to broken AI repeating animations only i'm controlling it and, similarly, I can't see how it feels wrong for the character to actually react to the world they're in. "

I played the demo last night.  I love Mikami.  The guy knows how to do action.  But the mech suit future soldier style is not my scene.  Also, having a football jock hero makes this game even less tolerable.   
 
Rocket boosting is neat looking, but as you saw in this video, it's easy to get caught on edges or have the camera go funny and be sliding the wrong way.   It's also quite easy to rest poking out of a corner and be able to aim at enemies with precision and never let them hit you.  I killed the demo boss standing still last night.  Also, destructible cover is arbitrary and too infrequent; and you can't do simple things with your super awesome athletic tech, like drop a few feet down to another platform.  Your character is glued to the floor at all times.
