Support NeoGAF

[Arklite]

They're health regen weapon upgrading third person shooters published by Sega about fighting robots (and the quirks that come with that). They're different, but have far more of a comparable to eachother than Vanquish is to Doom '16, unless Doom had it so that whenever you went for a melee kill you were completely stripped of mobility and health and had to regenerate your health.

Largely superficial, and on top Binary Domain is a story driven shooter with squad commands. Their pacing and play style is very different. Doom is a much more apt comparison in play design, BD comparison is mostly visual focus. If someone wanted a recommendation for something like BD I'd say Spec Ops over Vanquish unless they specifically wanted a robot motif.

HELL YES

I hope they support higher FPS than 60

I think a lot of people played Vanquish the wrong way, I know I did first time it tried it and thought it was pretty poor after realising how it was supposed to be played it all made sense.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Oh, nice! Excited to play this in 1080p60+

 

[VolticArchangel]

Lost in all the Bayo 3 hype, happy that this comes to PC and you all get to play it. Will gladly triple dip from my side if it's the same price as Bayo PC.

Now we move on to VF5FS, Shinobi, Nightshade, JSRF, Otogi & Otogi II, SoA HD, Shenmue HD, Panzer Dragoon Orta and Saga. Finally starting to believe SEGA aren't ignoring free money.

it's bound to happen. Same thing happened with RE6. games like this give you the bare minimum for tutorials and expect you to experiment to find the rest and most aren't willing to do that. (thought RE6 had no tutorial whatsoever which was one of its many problems). If you like play it like a cover shooter with occasional slow mo it's boring as hell. Cover is just for breaks in between the action.

People hating on Vanquish...

Game play is great but it has pacing problems. Hits the pedal to the metal too fast and has trouble keeping itself interesting the whole way through.

 

[MUnited83]

Unlikely I'd say, Bayonetta is locked to 60fps and that one was 60fps to begin with. If we get even 60fps on this considering it was originally 30 that'd be cool.

 

[King Gilga]

Cool, much more interested in rebuying Vanquish then I ever was with bayonetta.

 

[Arklite]

There are pacing issues but I'd say breakneck speeds is where it's best. The slower vehicle escort and sniper sequences are hard pace breakers.

 

[Ganondorfo]

Mikami should keep making more action games. He is amazing at it. Maybe his next project with Bethesda will be a pure crazy action game again.

 

[low-G]

JSRF next please

I'd pay $60

 

[Archtreyz]

Mikami just needs to turn The Evil Within into a crazy hybrid of RE4 and Vanquish. I wasn't big on The Evil Within, and if they could morph it into the high-octane action of Vanquished, I'd love that.

Anyways, super stoked to pick this up on Steam whenever it eventually releases.

Nah. I finished it, and I almost never finish games. The shit story is the only real problem I had with the game. The ending payoff is so anti-climatic it hurts.

 

[KainXVIII]

Don't forget generic story, silly villain, dull level design (everything is grey!)..Gameplay is also getting repetitive, you fighting same enemies over and over again in same arenas.
Its still good game (i think, for someone), but don't expect Binary Domain of greatness.

 

[yunbuns]

JSRF next please

TBH I don't see any relevant comparison point at all between Doom and Vanquish other than maybe posting a gif of ripping an imp apart and Sam doing some punching finisher on a grunt and someone perhaps extrapolating that they're of the same vein from that. You can boost around in Vanquish so they're... fast I guess? I guess my point of contention here is that I found Doom a lot of fun while Vanquish was boring more often than not.

lmao

Yeah, the combat was fantastic. You actually had reason to go for more than headshots (and going for headshots had a different effect here than it does in other shooters), and the shredding of armour was incredibly satisfying. Whereas Vanquish needed healthbars on all its enemies because it had about the reactivity of Borderlands.

 

[ponpo]

Vanquish was one of the few times I spend full price at launch for a game, beat it in single digit hours, and was still happy.

 

[Bronetta]

Vanquish is like a modern day arcade game. Short but packed with replayability. You pop in a quarter and impress the fuck out of onlookers with swag rocket slides, flips and flat out badassery as stylishly and quick as possible.



Dat Challenge 6 tho. One of my proudest Platinums.

 

[Pyrokai]

So this is what the mysterious 3peat YouTube videos were for that we all thought was for Bayonetta 3? Is it this instead?

 

[RRockman]

Better drop that shade bruh BD was fantastic. Loved you you can cripple enimies by shooting thier legs if they got too close for comfort which in turn would allow you more time complete certian objectives and actions without wasting bullets. I need to replay it.

 

[Neiteio]

I can't even picture this game at 60 fps or higher. Think my mind would melt.

 

[hank_tree]

Nah it's Bayo 3 for sure. Kamiya's schedule freed up recently.

 

[SURGEdude]

Oh man! This really brightened my day. It's what PN03 should have been and so much more.

 

[xzeldax3]

I'm so hyped for this! SEGA is gonna deliver!

 

[.:Wesker:.]

I'm ready!

 

[mrmickfran]

People hating on Vanquish AND Binary Domain in here?

This is the worst thread of all time.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I've always found the love for BD pretty baffling. I played it on PS3 (I know, not best platform) but it basically ran out of tricks a couple hours in and then lasted another 6 hours at least. Are people really that into another bad anime story about humanoid robots?

I don't remember the encounters or environmental design to be interesting in any way.

I didn't love Vanquish either but I get what's good about it, at least.

I wasn't a fan of BD either. I respect it, but it's just not very fun. It felt generic as heck to me.

Vanquish is high octane insanity.

It even sounds badass.

BD is probably in my top 10 'most surprising games' because I did not expect to find a story i gave a damn about in it at all.

also this fucker

This is the main reason

Vanquish is like a modern day arcade game. Short but packed with replayability. You pop in a quarter and impress the fuck out of onlookers with swag rocket slides, flips and flat out badassery as stylishly and quick as possible.

As I said, the style of play is what's the same, a focus of navigating each combat encounter as satisfyingly or efficiently as possible. It's pure mechanics for both Doom and Vanquish. Binary Domain is really on another tier of campaign style and narrative focus. Remove the story and narrative beats and BD doesn't get carried by its combat like the others.

 

[AzureSkies]

Didn't the Vanquish demo have an exclusive challenge mode?

It would be nice to see that in the rerelease.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Very excited for this! After initially spending some time with the demo before buying it I got a good hang of the mechanics and it made for an awesome first playthrough.
Would love to revisit this at higher fidelity soon!

Vanquish gameplay with BD's story would be the perfect game.

BASED PLATINUMGAMES!!!!!!

YO. I never heard about this.

Don't do this to me.

 

[nullref]

There were actually two Vanquish demos released – the first was a bit from the campaign, then later they released a demo for the challenge mode. Was it an exclusive challenge level? I don't think I played it, but I'd thought it was just the first challenge mission from the full game.

 

[Arklite]

YO. I never heard about this.

Don't do this to me.

Well, the Kamiya part is true at least.

 

[scitek]

No thanks. I don't like Aston Martin enough to buy a whole game about them.

 

[bigace33]

So good to be a PC gamer right now.

You crazy bastards did it.

They are dropping so many megatons this year

GOOOOOOOO.

this is gonna look tight in 4K
