New Vanquish Trailer Suits Up to Shoot Giant Robots

Seriously, the "ARS" battlesuit?
Incidentally hilarious or deliberate?

i think this may just be a rent and beat title . seems like its going to get quite repetative very quick ah well its saga after all

Only one question: why is this not on PC?! I'd buy that game if it were, i like the idea of sliding on my rocket-propelled arse and kicking people in the face like nobody's business.

Seconded. Despite the retarded name choice (what sort of an arse thinks that abbreviation was a good idea?) it still looks pretty sweet, but not good enough to buy a console over - especially if it is only 4 hrs long as someone commented above! I'd snap it up on Steam, most likely.

Personally I am hoping that the assault rifle will be called the C.O.Q Rifle. I keep my COQ concealed in my ARS then whip it out on unsuspecting robots and unload all of my J.I.Z. on them. It's my favourite ammunition.

I'm either really, really excited about this game, or hugely indifferent towards it.

 

[Sebenko]

My first thought was "Iron Man, as designed by apple". iRon man?

 

[hansari]

Wow...slide and rocket-propel yourself from cover to cover?

With stuff like health regen becoming the new industry standard, this game is gonna be way too easy unless they up the difficulty in other areas...

I get to pummel giant robots in the face, how could I NOT be interested in that?

You sir, just made my day.
At first I was all like, baww, because I just saw the last episode of Wakfu, but this made me choke on my own laughter.
Inanely childish humor is gooood.

At the very least, I'm going to need to see the reviews to figure out the length of the game and the plot. The gameplay from the demo was at least interesting, but I need to figure out whether or not that the game is simply a copy-paste of that level several dozen times.

One guesses by your CT that you have a fondness for titles by Platinum Games, one that I share. They are, in my mind, one of the very few Japanese developers who "get it", in the sense that the actual gameplay is every bit as spectacular as any cut-scene, that you are a part of all that insanity which is going on on screen, and not just via QTEs (which, however, they do better than most, to wit, Bayonetta's climax attacks).

After the demo, I am totally psyched for this.

I agree, to note Platinum rose from the ashes of Clover Studio's which made Viewtiful Joe, Okami and God Hand. The new studio seems to have inherited Clover's ability to make mechanically solid games, seriously its combat can barely be faulted.

I've played the demo and I expected slow hulking space marine, what I actually got was some sort of lethal rocket propelled roller skates.

Cruel cruel world. Going to pick up the Naruto game instead, and totally miss out on the pre-order bonus for Vanquish since I will most likely pick it up later. Hate it how so many quality games are coming out this month.

Damn it! I was just about to buy Minecraft! Lets see, use current cash to buy awesome indie game, or save up cash to buy equally awesome game from a non-indie developer...

OT: Well, if compared to Attrition Warfare (like the Battle of Passchendaele), war simply 'accelerating' is sort of a major understatement.

Played the demo.

It's not for me. I'm not a fan of shooters.

I shot things until I got bored and ran out of ammo (I had no idea where to find more). Then I hijacked a giant robot suit and emptied its ammo. Still bored. Got out of the suit and punched stuff until I died (which didn't take long).

Meh.

Fallout: New Vegas (VATS makes shooting fun) is my pick for Oct 19.

I'm sorry to say the demo did not sell it for me. Sliding around is alright (kind of) but when meleeing someone or going into bullet time means the bloody suit overheats and you can't do anything else for 10 seconds well, i'm not sure it's for me.

if you play the demo the way the devs want you to play the game... sliding about and using the melee and guns ... then the game is fun. But like you two and I suspect the larger majority of gamers that like Halo and GoW will probably get really bored of this game fast.

I never needed to use the slide option in the demo for anything other than the boss. Everything else went down as long you used cover appropriately. It is a flashy game with a good idea to actually make a power suit that does something else than be a skin for your character.

I just don't see this game selling well outside of Japan.
