Vanquish Detailes, New Screenshots Emerge

Tuesday, 9 Mar 2010 - 07:44AM

Sega have released some new information - and screenshots - of Vanquish, the upcoming third-person shooter from Platinum Games.

So what do we know? Well you'll be taking charge of Sam: a government agent kitted out with a futuristic battle suit, in a near future world where Russia and the United States are battling it out over the planet’s remaining energy resources.

In order to harness the Sun's energy, the US have constructed a space station, of which the Russian's attempt to capture.  Your job - with a huge arsenal of weapons and martial art moves - is to keep it in one piece.

“Vanquish is a game where we’ve tried to inject the extreme pace of an action game into a shooter. The gameplay and staging are all put together around the keyword ‘intensity’. I think it’s very rare to come across a game where shooting loads of robots is so much fun,” said Shinji Mikami, director of the game.

“We are delighted to have the chance to work with Shinji Mikami, one of the most successful and celebrated game directors in the world,” said Mike Hayes, CEO of SEGA West. “Vanquish is set to offer gamers the chance to be immersed in a truly cinematic gameplay experience, with the scope and special effects of a Hollywood movie.”
