Title: VANQUISH - For PS3/360
Post by: Peachylala on February 13, 2010, 09:12:38 PM
Trailer is here. (http://platinumgames.com/2010/01/29/vanquish-2/)

I honest to god don't know what to think about this.
 
UPDATE: No Wii version folks. Good thing I have a PS3.

From the Rumor thread: vLinkv (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=16688.msg582405#msg582405)
This is not a rumor but more of a speculation.

Platinum Games (MadWorld) has a new game coming out called Vanquish, and all that they have released on it so far is this trailer:
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-debut-vanquish/61349?type=flv (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-debut-vanquish/61349?type=flv)

The whole video is CG and they are being tight lipped about what system it is for.
The Protagonist wears a white battle suit which reminds me of Iron Man the way it's put on him but of P.N.03 in the way the suit actually looks, being all white.

This is a new game being headed up by Mikami (RE4 & P.N.03) and recently this pic was posted up on their site:
(http://i48.tinypic.com/2mxibyt.jpg)
and just as quickly removed.

If you look closely there is only one kind of controller present on the desk. Looks like a Wiimote on the desk furthest right. (sorry, don't have a larger pic).

So the speculation of the day is that Vanquish could be coming to Wii.
Hopefully if this is anywhere accurate, the game turns out to be the 3rd person shooter that we were hoping would follow RE4Wii and have been craving ever since we have been denied and given rail shooters in it's place.

We are just waiting for the platform announcement.

The trailer screams HD, but knowing Mikami likes surprises and controversy (if one considers REmake and RE4 GCN exclusive controversal last gen), this could end up being on the Wii.
Title: Re: Platinum's new game - VANQUISH
Post by: Ymeegod on February 14, 2010, 01:30:37 AM
Well it's coded in HD so that's going be either PS3 or Xbox 360 both I'm guessing both of them.  IF the WII 2 comes out then maybe a port but I don't see them making a port for the WII.

None of that trailer was real-time so there's a chance it could come to the Wii. Probably not though.

I know it's just a trailer, but I wasn't terribly impressed. Kind of just looks like Halo in 3rd person.
Title: Re: Platinum's new game - VANQUISH
Post by: Peachylala on February 14, 2010, 11:27:52 AM
It kind of looks like all the space marine shooters that populate the systems. If Platinum is smart enough, this is a Wii game, because space/futuristic marines aren't common on the Wii (and also we crave another Mikami 3rd person shooter). Release it on the PS3/360, it will get torn apart for being a clone of *insert space marine series here*.

Post by: Stratos on February 14, 2010, 07:55:43 PM
Even if this isn't a Wii game, I'm sure that means they are working on something else for Wii. They've already shown they can juggle at least three projects at once with Madworld, Bayonetta and Infinite Space. In time we'll see something for Wii, especially since Sega viewed Madworld as a good/profitable project.

Don't worry, it's not a generic Sci-Fi First Person Shooter; it's a generic Sci-Fi Third Person Shooter. If it is a Wii game, I'm interested, as I'm itching to play another game with those controls. If it's 360/PS3, then I'm less interested, because I already have a backlog of Third Person Shooters on those systems.

Post by: Dirk Temporo on February 16, 2010, 12:12:00 AM
Yeah, but we don't even know that it's a shooter at all. For all we know, it might be a side-scroller. Wouldn't that be something?

Title: Re: Platinum's new game - VANQUISH
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 16, 2010, 03:30:28 PM
I don't want RE4 gameplay unless you can still move while you aim.
Title: Re: Platinum's new game - VANQUISH
Post by: ThePerm on February 16, 2010, 04:45:16 PM
lol then that makes it gears of war gameplay, i still haven't played re4 wii, but yeah that would be an improvement, the whoke reason for the stop to aim before was because it was impractical to be able to move and aim with GCN controlls with 3rd person shooting. Actually, that frees up another button.
Title: Re: Platinum's new game - VANQUISH
Post by: KDR_11k on February 17, 2010, 04:49:59 AM
Yeah, they can probably do moving and shooting simultaneously if they want to do that.

Rumor: Vanquish to be a shooter (http://www.segabits.com/?p=281)
Quote
There have been a ton of rumors flying around about Vanquish, the new title by Platinum Games. One of the rumors was that it was a Playstation 3 exclusive because of a leak were SEGA mentioned it might have PSP connectivity and after the trailer hit the internet, everyone assumed it was a shooting game. It seems that both rumors might be correct, according to the Official Playstation Magazine podcast.

    “Next time we’ll be talking shooters with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Vanquish and another very special game yet to be announced.”

Sure this does not make it a Playstation 3 exclusive, but I have yet to see any signs to point at a 360 version and we all know that Mikami is not scared of going exclusive. See: Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4. Also the guys at OPM have said its a shooter…

Not ruling out a Wii version yet, but it doesn't look likely.
Title: Re: Platinum's new game - VANQUISH

Ok all you folks,

Here is the scoop........ and I think that I can help correct those inaccurate guesses....definitely it's going through SEGA. The video you see is a teaser trailer. That is all you are going to get until the powers that be release more... hehe.... As you can see by my avatar. that's me, Paul Wendling. I am also listed in the credits as the costume designer, but what you perhaps didn't know is that for me it's basically an Ironman situation come to real life. I designed the action suit, I personally built that suit, I then acted in that suit, I did all my own stunts in that suit. (3 days of filming) The undergarment is actually (according to the script) an augmented neuro controlled artificial musculature, similar to the robots in I Robot. Then the protective over armour is placed to help protect the main heart of where the strength comes from, namely the muscle undersuit. The main character, Sam, is a secret DARPA lab weapons designer, and when he hears about the destruction, takes it on himself to go out and use his development, and kick some Russian tech and grunt butts.

I can't reveal more until I'm permitted, but if you have any questions about the suit construction, or filming, I'd be happy to oblige.

The trailer is a mix of live action and cgi, but everywhere you see Sam in or out of his suit, that is me doing the acting and stunts, all LIVE and REAL, with air cannons throwing debris, jump rigging, being blown away by explosions, etc. with cgi cleanup and augmentation of some elements like the last blast fling. All backgrounds were cgi of course, but the suit has some new twists, that NO other shooter character has, and you guys will go ape over some new moves..... think perhaps Metroid for a hint(but keeping to actual workable real life physics), and another hint... those curious items on the thighs...... let's just say that you will have to have 3 hands on gameplay to really master the possibilities of unheard of before moves. Another hint, those big forearm bulges in the armor... hide some really cool things as well 

As to the comments about the faceplate covering the mouth, not the eyes..... The blue plate is a nano barrier for breathing, the helmet actually totally opens and closes up in a segmented fashion (think the helmets from Lost in Space, or Stargate.) The vision is not through glass, but I'm looking at displays projected onto the eyes, which are fed from multiple sensors over the helmet.

I've got tons of pics from filming. The suit was hell to do all the stunts in, altogether weighed about 40 pounds, the gun weighed another 12 pounds. Aaannnnd when I'm released to be able to do so, I have all the molds..... anyone want a ridiculously expensive Video game hero suit for this upcoming halloween?

All the best,
Paul Wendling

Post by: KDR_11k on February 20, 2010, 02:36:56 PM
It's popular in Japan to build gatlings into forearms...

Those things look like smoke grenade launchers at first glance but that's probably not what they're supposed to be. Leg rocket launchers would be my second guess but that's only if we don't count thrusters. If you want really funky try funnels (remote controlled beam cannon satellites in Gundam) but an ordinary human couldn't control those even with three hands.

Speed booster? Hm, no, done in other games too (Section 8 for example). Grappling beams are too damn popular. Stripping to your underwear after completing the mission in less than three hours?

So they are (rumored to) putting this thing up against all the god damn shooters on the PS3/360? Platinum, seriously, are you trying to lose money.

If this ended up on Wii... it's only competition would be Metroid.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 22, 2010, 02:54:53 AM
No. The rumor about HD came from the development job listing/meeting call or whatever it was that mentioned needing someone for PS3 development and possible PS3 to PSP connectivity.

But I never finished my earlier comment. It seems unfinished.

But there is no audience for shooters on Wii by the evidence of the lack of shooters on the Wii. So why would we release a shooter on the Wii to an audience that clearly doesn't buy shooters? ::points to chart showing 3rd person shooters sales on Wii vs PS360::[/3rd parties]

Famitsu has details, and scans.

Quote from: summary
More details on Vanquish:

The game setting is a near-future war between US and Russia. By setting it in the future, Mikami can use robots and high tech stuff to make the game more interesting. He says the reason why the enemies are all robots is because he wants to allow players who do not like shooting other humans to be able to play and appreciate the gameplay in shooters as well. The mech suit features a high speed booster which allows you to very quickly boost next to enemies to pull off close range attacks. There are a large variety of close range attacks moves in the game. There is a balance between using cover and using the boost, but it is definitely not a pure cover shooter. You do not pick up and change weapons in the game, instead your weaponry is part of the suit and it all transforms in realtime into different sorts of weapons. The game is about 80% complete, and they're working on refining the AI for both allies and enemies at the moment. There is a demo planned, and the game will be released in winter 2010.

Looks to be a PS3/360 title.

This is the main problem this game has going for it. If this was a Wii game (seriously Mikami, we bought RE4, Madworld doesn't count), there would be no competetion except for Metroid. The 360/PS3 has more games like this, and while the fanboys will be bragging about it, they are a very small minority of people who will actually buy it.

So yet another sci-fi 3rd-person shooter with cover gameplay mechanics.  Really original material here for a new IP.  It's as if Mikami has been hibernating all of this generation.  :reggie:

WII RE4 was a bargin special right out of the gate and it still doesn't beat neither Xbox 360 or PS3 sales of RE5.

Madworld actually sold poorly peaches.  The reason why it's nearing 1/2 million is because they OVER printed the title.  Nobody bought the game at full retail price and it's why you seen it in bargin bins 4 months after it's release.  (Can't really blame people though because the game was 5 hours long, sega should have given some thought into DLC or something).

It's similar to the now Brutal Legends which was released last fall and it already's at the $20 mark. 
------------------------------------

And Vanquish is now confirmed to be an PS3/Xbox360 title.   The was no mention of the WII but in nintendo releases it next generation eariler than you might see a port--that' my guess anyhow.

That's besides the point. Madworld sold poorly, but Clover Studios PS2 title sold even worse. If you're wondering, the lot includes ports of Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Okami, and God Hand. Not terribly hard to outsell those games, especially God Hand. Capcom only printed like 12 copies of that game.

"...Until I see Bayonetta's YTD sales."

Madworld at .42 million
Bayonetta's at .45 million on the Xbox 360 and another .49million on the PS3. 
--------

And Clover Studios closed so I'm not sure what point she was making even bringing them up?  Should Sega close?  Sega really hasn't done so hot this generation in terms of sales, just about all of it's hardcore games have undersold on all systems; Madworld wasn't the only one; The Club & Condemned come screaming to mind.  The best sellers for the Sega has been on the WII and you would think more of an effect would go to making better Sonic titles then a new IP.  Sega fallen along ways since the DC.

I know, but they reformed from being let go.  The first studio was famed for it's games (well all but GodHand anyhow) but it was a huge failure.  Bayonette's sales so far is the best the team done so far so I fail to see the point on why they would focus on the WII? 




Title: Re: VANQUISH - For PS3/360
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 05, 2010, 01:02:02 AM
But Bayonetta barely did better than Madworld and Madworld was only on 1 system with a much lower budget.

And considering Bayonetta had much more appeal and marketability, not to mention advertising, I would think Madworld did better financially than Bayonetta has regardless of having sold twice as much.
Title: Re: VANQUISH - For PS3/360
Post by: Ymeegod on March 05, 2010, 01:48:39 AM
But that's the whole point of multiplatform games isn't it?  It's already DOUBLE and that's prior to any price cuts.  So you have to figure it's going be 1.3 million or so by the end of the year (I'm talking combined).

Yeah, Bayonette's a different game but it's in the same genre to compare sales with.  And sega spent a little bit of marketing for both games.  Madworld was marketted about as good as Sega goes, there's TV ads, Deathwatch online sites, and they even teamup with Gamestop with promos. 

-------

Even without Madworld, the general fact remains--hardcore games sell better on the other systems so that's why you're going see less of them on the WII.

I thought so too, but then you learned it was a six hour game. And then you learned that the advertising didn't show any of the game at all. You try to appeal that type of game to the same people who bought RE4 Wii, Metroid Prime, Twilight Princess? Haha, good fricking luck in trying to reach the million mark.

They shouldn't just focus on Wii, and Bayonetta is NOT THAT GREAT of a game. Good? Yes... the PS3 version however shows that Sega can't convert worth a damn. It got a bit better with the latest patch.

Not a fan of Sam's voice. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'd get tired of his BS after a while. He's not terribly likable so far. I wonder if the final game will allow players to change the aiming sensitivity. I found it a little too sensitive though I'm sure with time I could get used to it.

Yeah he's so badass it's got a button to take a smoke break in the middle of the action.

I was already interested in this game, and after playing the demo I'm sold, even in a crazy month like October's going to be.

The demo is finally out. It's interesting but feels schizophrenic, on one hand it has all that crazy boost stuff and whatnot but on the other it expects you to take cover and cover seems way too effective (against the boss I was invulnerable in cover for the entire first phase and probably could have been in the second as well). So what am I supposed to do, standard hide-and-shoot crap or boosting around blasting stuff?

So this game came out like a week ago.

Holy ****.

Yeah, I like it. It's fun but doesn't quite reach AWESOME levels. The game is really at its best when you're caught by surprise, don't have cover and need to improvise but unfortunately that happens rarely. It's still fun the rest of the time but not as awesome as, say, EDF.

Anyone have sales for the game yet?

With NPD no longer releasing any that'll be hard. It did reach the top 10 in Japan though.

Well, some stores like Fred Meyer and Gamestop post lists of their top selling titles so you could go into those stores and see what they say.

I wonder how long it will stay in the top ten though.

Not long, I don't think the game has much mass market appeal.

This applies to all of Platinum's games, sans Bayonetta. That only sold over one million though, so... yeah.

The Amazon price is down as well, though not nearly as much.

Guess Platinum's main audience is gobbling the game down Sega!  ;)

I bought the game at full price and don't regret it at all. It's fantastic.

Finished this on Normal (to do it without dying took me forever, but it was never frustrating), now I'm going to playthrough on Hard. Gotta get them trophies, ya'll!
