    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?

    My super secret sources tell me it's a DSiWare, turn-based card battling-game with camera controlls.

    P.N.03? Not as much as most every other game with futuristic battle armor. Can't be excited without real details really.

    Also, speaking of Mikami, whatever happened to that EA project he had with Suda 51? They announced that some time ago and then haven't said anything.

    Man, I hope there's a good twist to this game. Mikami was involved with some amazing and unique games, like God Hand, Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil, Killer7. But so far this looks like just another space marine shooter.

    Have to say, this is not the type of action game I expected to see come out of Platinum.
     
    I'm also excited about the live-action cutscenes, that's a returning trend I'm excited about.  It's also not foreign territory for  Mikami, remember Resident Evil had them as well.

    It looks slick, though the space terrorism theme is cringe-inducing. I've heard enough of this rhetoric over the past ten years, I'd rather not be subjected to it vidja games as well.

    I don't think there is really enough of anything to be able to draw any sort of opinion about what they have chosen to show of the game. I'm sort of left with the opinion that it might be cool, but it looks like everything else that's already been done. Almost like a combo of Halo (the suit) and Mass Effect (planetary scenes). There isnt even really a glimpse of something unique about the game or presumably main character to get hooked onto if you guys see where I'm coming from. I get that its just a teaser and stuff, but the point of a teaser is to entice you into wanting to see more. I don't necessarily see anything that makes me desperately interested to know what else they have up their sleeves. I think the trailer is a bit of a miss. We'll see how it pans out though I guess.

    I just read the credits at the end and noticed that Logan (who don't have a Giantbomb or wikipedia page) is doing the FMV stuff. You know, the guys who made Metal Gear Solid 4's FMV sequences?

    I dunno, this is too teasery, but it kind of looks like they're mimicking a Halo style game. Hopefully they twist it enough to make it their own thing.

    If it turns out to be as awesome as that trailer, it'll be the next sci-fi shooter I'm really interested in. And yes, that's because it made me think of Halo.

    Where did I say that I'm not American? Does being American automatically require you to defend your country? 
    Haiti has nothing to do with this. I just find it hilarious when America is called a peaceful nation. In fact, everyone should, because irony is teh funniez.

    I'm gonna have to go ahead and voice my first thought: does him putting on the suit and the camera angle of his eyes with fancy targeting targeting lights remind anybody of Iron Man? 
     
    and the soundtrack sounds a lot like Terminator: Salvation. 
     
    in any case, this looks like one to keep an eye on

    He looks a lot like something you could get out of a market research session. "Get it, Spartan, but white. Spartans are never white yo. Innovation!" This could be the next Haze. Or it could be a game that condescendingly puts what the caricature of a "bro gamer" wants on a plate like Mad World did. That didn't turn out well. Platinum what you doin.

    It looks like an Iron Man game, except it might actually be good. 
     
    I'd be down with some real life people in games again, but this is probably just for the teaser, no?

    Platinum Games is really getting some big names for their games. First the DMC creator now this. I guess being ex-Clover guys has a lot more cred than I thought.

    Right. And nanikore is analyzing that fiction for its portrayal of national identity. That's pretty damn normal. Though, I can't help but wonder though if he's missing an intentional note of irony on the developer's part.
