Vanquish is PS3/360, it's confirmed. It's due to be out by Winter 2010. Mikami also says that while it is a third person shooter, it is not a "normal" shooter. It will emphasize speed and fast paced action, and you will also be shooting robots instead of humans. I can't make out anything else because the "scans" are way too blur after that.
He says that it's 80% (or 60%) done. The big thing remaining is the AI of the enemies, which he isn't too excited about doing.duckroll said:
A long time ago I was really interested in this title, but now I simply have a massive backlog which will probably stop me from playing this. If I can score it cheap used, I'll probably go for it, but I sense stocks will be limited so prices will stay high.Moor-Angol said:
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 enemes at the moment. There is a demo planned, and the game will be released in winter 2010.

Oh god, the penny just dropped - so that's the game everyone was talking about recently? :lol I didn't know the English title.duckroll said:
I only have a J360, unfortunately, but it has had some interesting word of mouth, so I might well pick it up. Weird to have both this and Heavy Rain out within a few weeks of each other.

That sounds pretty hot.duckroll said:
The scans give me a Lost Planet vibe in regards to the graphics, though I doubt Capcom would let him use the Framework engine.

Looks better than I expected. It says the game is made by the original staff. Hopefully this will turn out well!

Vanquish sounds good, hopefully Platinum Games will keep the good fight going with more score/ranking systems attached to their games.. less unintended exploits hopefully.
As for the SRPG, I doubt it's Fire Emblem. Nintendo tends to announce those sorts of things on its terms. It's not Ogre Battle, that series has been lain to rest. Sega did make an SRPG-style Shining Force for DS but never ported it to NA, so if it's this then you may not ever see it anyway.
My guess is a new Super Robot Wars entry.

K and Neo were both good games.
Neo being one of the most creative SRWs in recent memory.

Hopefully this turns out good. The PS2 game was pretty damn cool, despite the nonsense battle algorithms.

I'm sorry but what? Metal Saga DS is one of the worst RPGs I have ever played. I bought it in Japan for like 3 bucks and it still felt like a ripoff when I played it. It's total and utter shit. I find it hard to believe that the PS2 game is worse, but I've never played that.
