Vanquish | Remastered (PS4/XB1) - February 18, 2020

[Oravis]

With all the other big named releases around this game I didn't doubt it would happen. Really sad though and I also hope for a sequel.

[Riposte]

The Future Press (or is it Futurepress?) official stategy guide came in recently. SO SEXY. MY GOD! 300~ pages of greatness.


"What upcoming games are you most looking forward to?"

Mikami: "Probably Fallout: New Vegas or Gran Turismo 5"

Interesting lol

Ending interview question

Spoiler: show

"The end of the game is rather open ended, so we are looking forward to a potential sequel. If there was sequel, do you already have ideas for changes or additions to make it even better?"

Inaba: "Making a sequel to Vanquish really depends on the fans' expectations and responses. If there is a big enough response, the world of Vanquish will probably expand."

"What was the reasoning for making Sam a smoker?"

Mikami: "It bothers me how smokers are treated these days. They've been arbitrarily labeled as a societal ill and pushed off to the side. Personally, I don't want to see smoking disappear in the future, So Sam smoking was my nod to that. I think that, for the smoker, smoking is just as natural as going to the restroom to take care of business"

"Also, which came first: The cigarette, or the idea of something that allows Sam to distract enemies?"

Mikami: "The cigarette. It would have been a waste to introduce a cigarette just for show, so I went back afterwards and added the idea that robots react to the heat source of the cigarette and attack it"

Playing this game and it's really fun. But I think I suck real bad at it lol.
Only playing on Normal I've made it up to the start of act 3 and I've died like 14 times so far. And it's taken me 3 hours to do so.

[Doombear]

I am excited that I should be getting this in the mail early next week. I had meant to get it sooner but totally spaced it. It will be a good pace changer from PLB2 and something to keep me busy until Dead Space 2.

[Souj]

I was going to try and platinum Vanquish, but after seeing videos of the Challenges, I don't think it's a possibility...
I'm going to try it after I beat the game on hard, maybe I'll be able to after that.

[Oravis]

I still haven't beaten the last challenge lol

[Souj]

Blaawrararg. On my 15th or so attempt at beating 5-3 on Hard. Can't manage to get 1 Bogey's HP below 1/4. I know once I'm down to just a single Bogey I'll have no problem, but damn this is getting annoying. I definitely know now I wont be able to beat challenge 6...

Sweet. My friends and I refer to this as America: The Game.

[Elcura]

Only 5 months behind schedule. Nice.

[KuroTsuki]

Nice. I've been wanting to play this again. Looks like I'll just wait for this release instead of playing the original.

To this day, I still think this was the hardest game that I've platinum'd. That final tactical mission was insane.

Vanquish needs a sequel. Fuck the BS.

[Kaisha]

Nothing about those screenshots says 'remastered'. Just looks like the PC version w/ the higher framerate cap and resolution. The least they could have done is touch up the UI font and icons.

[AoE]

Alright I'm in there to "Platinum" both of these games again.
