360/PS3 Vanquish

duckroll said:
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.

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.

I'll take Fire Emblem or Shining Force. I highly doubt it'll be Shining Force, so Fire Emblem will be a blessing.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I don't speculate in speculate threads, but what the hell, I'll make an exception cause I really want it: True Final Fantasy Tactics sequel written and directed by Matsuno! For PSP!
 

VOOK

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
Seriously what the fuck is up with Famitsu and the Wii?

Wouldn't a new Fire Emblem be announced in Jump rather than in Famitsu? It's probably Disgaea 4.

It's not Famitsu, it's the Japanese Game Industry.

Donny made a list of all the Wii games coming out in the next few months there, and there were like 10, including shovelware.

VI and IX are already out. The only one on the list that is is Joker 2. Why does Famitsu keep covering certain games months after their release?

Wow. I eagerly await the day that there will be ZERO Wii game in Famitsu.

I always wanted to try Metal Max, but never did. I heard its newer games are nothing like the glory days of SNES though. So no/few hope on Metal Max 3.

If they only covered new games, noone would buy the mag because you can get all the info online.
Old game coverage includes strategy guides, user reviews, event info, etc.
