Vanquish Demo Impressions (DualShockers)

DS writes, "By the end of the demo my socks were completely blown off. Playing it evokes a euphoric mindset that is simply beyond comparison to anything else I have ever played. I have played through it five times and I will probably play it several times more in the next few weeks. If you thought you were excited before playing this, afterwards you’ll almost be a little scared of what Platinum Games and SEGA are going to throw at you in the full game. Stay tuned for our full review when the game come out next month."

am i missing the point of this game, i thought the demo was boring and unoriginal

Axisian5010d ago

you were playing it wrong then.

The demo was awesome sauce.

Dee_915010d ago

im just not into these type of games i guess because it wasnt all that to me
i like how u can slow down and stuff
its not bad it was just kinda unoriginal to me

Bobbykotickrulesz5010d ago

In my opinion, it wasn't the sickest shit I've ever played.

But it reminded me of an arcade game with next gen mechanics, which was totally awesome. I'll definitely play this game when it comes out.

cooperdnizzle5010d ago

Your playing it wrong then.. The demo sucked mediocre at best

Knushwood Butt5010d ago

Can't say I was particularly impressed either. Looked quite nice, but, erm.. I may give it another try.

guzman5010d ago

Can you say multiple alt accounts? Get bent loser.

DA_SHREDDER5010d ago

I thought it needed more polish. But it has alot of potential. Not even close to AAA status though. It's not even a fraction as good as The other M.

Keith Olbermann5010d ago

Dude...thats a funny one. Uh..you were joking, right?

guzman5010d ago

I got a good laugh out of that one as well.

NovusTerminus5010d ago (Edited 5010d ago )

Why does it need polish? It requires so much more skill then one of the 5 million other shooters that are all the same. Day one for me.

DarkTower8055010d ago

Skill is a highly overused word in the video game industry. Vanquish does not take skill. If you're older than 8 and not mentally or physically challenged, then chances are you can play most video games effectively, including Vanquish.

Just because alot of people don't like the style of Vanquish(including me) doesn't mean we lack skill. It's just different strokes for different folks.

mrv3215010d ago

It looks epic, it plays well... it's quite Japanease but it's fun. CO-OP would have been nice this game would be crazy competitively... like an absolute mad house, even with just 4 people all you need is two of them to be boosting and it's like you've attached a Saturn 5 rocket to a mini, it shouldn't work, someone will end up dead but it'll be crazy.

Imagine this game multiplayer... if only for something refreshing.

NovusTerminus5010d ago

I think Co-Op would fit the game better, I would rather them not try to balance the game out and ruin the charm. But if this game were to go Co-Op in the future that would be epic.

ChronoJoe5010d ago (Edited 5010d ago )

Personally, I didn't think it was special.

I mean it's not at it's heart a fast paced shooter, it's your run of the mil slow paced shooter, with some fast paced mechanics attached. The core speed of your character is, rather slow, and the shooter gameplay is rather typical.

It was fun but the additional features didn't enable the game to differentiate itself enough from other FPS I have played, and the gameplay overall wasn't as versatile as it was previously advertised thanks to the 'recharge' mechanics.

The place I thought the game set it self apart however, was the particle effects. They're great, the art style itself was also pretty endearing... but the characters seemed generic, I mean the leading roll is obviously a wanabe solid snake.

My thoughts.

guzman5010d ago

FPS huh Chrono? Lol, doubt you even played it. Stick with Starfox kid.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake40d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX40d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer40d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils40d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg40d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Titan fall 2 was chefs kiss. For those of you who haven't played it go ahead. Brilliant. With each level being creatively different.

Yui_Suzumiya354d ago

Island, Steins;Gate Elite and Soma.

MadLad353d ago

Soma is an epic experience.

jznrpg353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Does ISLAND have English subs ? I can’t find a copy that says it has English subs for PS only the Switch version which I rather not buy .

Love Steins Gate and Soma

shinoff2183353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

FRom what i could find. Nothing with English subs.

Yui_Suzumiya352d ago

I own a physical copy on Switch and it does have English subtitles so it's all good on Switch and Playstation.

Yui_Suzumiya352d ago (Edited 352d ago )

My bad. Steam and Switch have English but PS4 and Vita only have Japanese. Sony doesn't mess with many visual novels which is why I only own a Switch OLED and laptop for all my games.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

cthulhucultist388d ago

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Vengeance1138388d ago

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot
