Bayonetta Dev Unveils Resident Evil Creator’s New Game 'Vanquish’
by Alice O’Connor Jan 29, 2010 8:37am CST

Bayonetta and MadWorld developer PlatinumGames has released a teaser trailer announcing ‘Vanquish,’ a new game directed by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami.

The snazzy trailer by LOGAN–creator of the intro sequences for Metal Gear Solid 4 and Zombieland–shows a chap in an “Augmented Reaction Suit” engaged in combat with power armoured and robotic foes in the wake of a high-tech attack on the USA.

This is the first look at what Mikami has been working on since PlatinumGames was founded as ‘Seeds’ in 2007 by veterans of God Hand and Okami developer Clover.

Vanquish will be published by Sega–the last of the four-game deal Platinum signed with the publisher back in 2008. Neither a release date nor platforms were announced, though given Platinum’s track record it’s highly likely Vanquish will be a console title.

Well, here it is. Hopefully they’ll use PS3 as the lead SKU, lest we get another Bayonetta.

Seriously reminded of that game for xbox live, Shadow Complex.

I hope it’s good.

It’s a Mikami game, so probably not, expect PG to force Sega to port the game over a weekend again to meet deadlines.

According to FanboyCharts, they’re working very closely with Sony on this one.

The new trailer doesn’t really get me hype or anything but it is Mikami. I’ll be keeping an eye on it for sure. I was hoping he was gonna do a new RE style game game in the same vein of how Bayonetta is Kamiya’s new DMC.

CyberAkuma · January 30, 2010, 9:27am

That was probably too much to hope for, honestly.

Mikami has said, I believe, on multiple occasions that if he could help it, he wouldn’t be directing any more survival horror games, because among other things, he hates having to watch scary movies and such for ideas. :lol:

Besides, the likes of PN 03, GOD HAND and now this game, showcase how the guy really wanted to try something else, any way. So for right now, I’m interested. Especially since we just got a teaser trailer, and only have more to see from here on in.

Radiantsilvergun3 · January 30, 2010, 9:48am

Oh I know it was a shot in the dark but a man can dream you know? I’m always open to anything Mikami or Kamiya though those two are crazy.

New trailer for Vanquish. Game looks ridiculous. It’s like Gewars of War on turbo thrusters from 29XX or something lol.

Edit: Fixed link.

Or how about this? It’s like Gun Valkyrie on the ground with a cover system!

I miss GV sooo much.

Sacr3D · June 5, 2010, 9:09pm

If It wasn’t made by Shinji Mikami and platinum games then I would say that this game looks like crap. So I reserve my judgment.

Radiantsilvergun3 · June 5, 2010, 9:15pm

Oh hey good comparison. Gun Valkyrie was cool.

Shadowcuz · June 6, 2010, 1:08am

Finally a trailer!

This game looks fresh, i like.

Escapedsoul · June 6, 2010, 1:20am

Another polished game from platinum games, hopefully it wont steal goty from Bayonetta.:razzy:

FurryCurry · June 6, 2010, 1:26am

^Hint: It won’t.

HeaT · June 6, 2010, 1:46am
