Platinum Games has revealed its latest project, Vanquish.
Directed by Resident Evil helmer Shinji Maki, the game will take place during a foreign attack on United States soil.
The studio has previously worked on Bayonetta and MadWorld.
Platforms or a release schedule have yet to be announced.
I have seen a trailer but its not on you tube. I will post it as soon as it it. It looks pretty cool
The trailer is on Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5459346/introducing-vanquish-a-new-game-from-the-creator-of-resident-evil) and it appears that Thatcher is back in politics too!

That's promising.
The first bit reminds me of District 9. Though I am not sure why?
Theres a bit of an albino Master Chief look going on too, cool.

It's a very impressive trailer, need to see some gameplay footage though.
The trailer tells squat about the game, but it's very pretty.
I like the dude's look. Reminds me of ...

Vanquish: PS3 Primary Platform
Third-person shooter by Resident Evil creator set for release this year.
Platinum Games' upcoming shooter Vanquish is having its development focused on the PlayStation 3.
"We're leading development on PS3," said Vanquish director Shinji Mikami, of Resident Evil fame. "Obviously each console has its own unique requirements and limitations, but we feel if we can create a good enough presentation on PS3, we'll be off to a good start."
The third person shooter was announced in January and set to be released in Japan by the end of the year on Xbox 360 and PS3 - no decision has been made as to whether the title will come out on PC or not.

Vanquish: PS3 Primary Platform
"... we feel if we can create a good enough presentation on PS3, we'll be off to a good start."
That is sound logic. The PS3 is the 'Mount Everest' of platform development. If a developer can get their PS3 version running smooth, they should have little problem porting it to other platforms.
the voice of wisdom and the hand of the .Gif.
I fealt they were trying to get some Pillow Talk with Sony for a lil' backscratchery ?
Mikami explains why Vanquish is single-player only
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/03/vanq580.jpg)
During the recent Vanquish media unveiling in Tokyo, creator Shinji Mikami outed the action-shooter game's lack of multiplayer functionality. "That's the main reason we're keeping Vanquish as a single-player experience -- to deliver the level of impact, the level of detail and the visuals we want to offer," Mikami offered at the press event, reports Eurogamer.
Apparently, due to the fact that the single-player game is "very intense" and "full of action," a multiplayer component would require "shaving a lot of things off" in order to make them work. It would seem that Mikami's more interested in Vanquish's main campaign impressing than the title having legs, though he would argue that a tacked-on multiplayer does little in the interest of serving gamers. "It kind of boils down to whether you have the multiplayer but you don't have that much impact, and end up being like everyone else ... or even below par." Yep, we're just as shocked and appreciative of his refreshing honesty as you are.

I could not agree more. Bravo, Platinum Games.
If the first game is a success, I look forward to actual "working" online-multiplayer in the sequel.
just like Bioshock 2
Sega and Platinum Games unvieled 3 new images of their upcoming action game titled, Vanquish. The game is slated for an year-end release for both the PS3 and Xbox360.
The images are below

A New Look At Vanquish, From The Creator of Resident Evil
(http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/04/500x_vanquish_lead.jpg)
Are you excited yet about Vanquish, the third-person shoot 'em up from Bayonetta and Madworld studio Platinum Games? Did we mention it's from the guy who made God Hand? And did you see these new screen shots?
Game director Shinji Mikami's latest may feature familiar shooting action—with, apparently, a Bayonetta style "Witch Time"-like time-slowing effect dubbed "Augmented Reality Mode"—and super-suit attired soldier Sam, but Vanquish looks like a higher-speed take on your standard action game. A look at these new Vanquish screens shows off big bosses, bad-ass futuristic knee slides and developer Platinum's expertise with PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 hardware.
Vanquish is supposed to be out in 2010—at least in Japan.

I hope the gameplay is cool
Looks like Star Wars and Halo had a baby.

Vanquish UK release date confirmed
Mikami-developed title will be here in October
Sega has slapped a UK release date of October 22nd on Shinji Mikami's Vanquish - for PS3 and Xbox 360.
The outer-space action title - created by Mikami and Platinum Games in Japan - is looking every bit the Halo challenger, with critics raving about its potential post-E3.
Customers who pre-order the game from selected stores will receive exclusive access to a three-weapon pack, available via Xbox LIVE and PSN on release day.
The pack contains the Boost Machine Gun, Anti-Armor Pistol and Laser Cannon - which you can see in action around this very page.
The Boost Machine Gun is an early experimental weapon with impressive overall fire power and the speed to dispense rounds similar to that of a heavy machine gun.
The Anti-Armor Pistol fires a special penetrative shell and was manufactured to tackle hostile forces with much stronger.
I've just read theres no Multiplayer for this game, i'm defo gonna play it now. It'll mean all the achieves are offline and there won't be some half-assed tacked on MP.
Singularity was an amazing single player experience but a mediocre online one.
I did have some interest in this game until I just saw the release date. It's in between Halo:Reach and COD:Black Ops...oh and its released the same day as Fallout:New Vegas.
Looks like it'll be another one for the "I'll rent when I'm really bored in the summer of 2011" list.
and yes I realise there's a lot of punctuation in those game names!
oh that's good, i might treat myself to this seeing as everyone else will be playing Fallout except me.
Woohoo! Vanquish has 'Casual Auto' and 'God Hard' modes
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/07/vanquish72910.jpg)
Vanquish is following in the stiletto-heel footsteps of Platinum's last action game, Bayonetta, in a couple of interesting ways. First, the Shinji Mikami-designed shooter is being outfitted with an optional "Casual Auto" difficulty level, much like Bayonetta's "Easy Automatic" mode, designed to allow even those new to action games have a good time.
"Once you get your target on the enemy, the rest is easy as pie," Mikami said in the blog post announcing the mode. "I'm sure saying it that way makes it sound totally uninteresting, but when you actually give it a shot, the tempo it gives the game play will make you jump up and say, 'Woohoo!'" That's the other way in which Vanquish echoes Bayonetta: exclamations. It's "Woohoo!" from the player, versus "Wuhhh!!" from Bayonetta. "You know ... 'Wuhhh!!'"
Vanquish also includes an unlockable "God Hard" difficulty. "I think our fans will get where this one is going," Mikami teased. We suspect apocalyptic beatdowns are to be found within this mode.
If it's anything like Bayonetta, then there will be a huge contrast in the difficulty levels!
Vanquish demo due next week
PlatinumGames producer Atsushi Inaba has confirmed a demo for upcoming third-person shooter Vanquish.
That's according to Andriasang, which reports that the demo is due out for PS3 and Xbox 360 on 2nd September in Japan, at least.
The teaser will allow players to go through a prologue sequence and go up against Argos in a boss fight, perhaps emerging with some bargain cutlery and a couple of new draught excluders.
Called "Velocity Attack", the demo will be playable on casual and normal difficulties. The former diminishes your manhood by introducing an auto-aim feature.
According to reports, the demo at next month's Tokyo Game Show will expand on Velocity Attack with new playable areas and a surprise appearance by a familiar face.
Vanquish is a third-person cover shooter set in the near future when the world's resources are almost depleted.
The Russians and US are violently disputing ownership of a space station designed to draw energy from the sun, and you play a dude in a lightweight mech suit sent in to separate the men from the armoured soldiers with rechargeable shields.
Vanquish Limited Edition has 7" figurine
The Limited Edition of PlatinumGames' Vanguish includes a 7" figurine of protagonist Sam Gideon. Have a gander at it below.
It's a Zavvi exclusive in the UK, and comes with an RRP of £69.99, but it's available for £54.95 on Zavvi's website (http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/vanquish-limited-edition-with-figurine-zavvi-exclusive/10243215.html).
Vanquish, due out for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 22nd October, is from Resident Evil man Shinji Mikami.

Yep, it's been on my rental list ever since it was available for pre-order. :)
I considered preordering for the bonus weapons, but the last few games I preorderd specifically for in-game bonuses, I never even used the bonuses.
I think I'm going to cut back on the preorders and focus more on AAA titles and my stacks of unopened games.
