North America cuts in Vanquish release line, gets it on October 19

Vanquish-2

Oh come on, North America. Are you really gonna be that guy? Europe and Japan got their places fair and square, and then they blink, and suddenly you’re up front – acting like you’ve been there the whole time?

But then, we suppose it’s not too surprising. After all, if Vanquish is “targeted toward Western audiences,” we figure releasing it in Japan first means Sega kind of missed.

Interview – Vanquish’s Atsushi Inaba

vanquish

Platinum Games doesn’t make normal things. It just doesn’t. Hair-clad butterfly witches, a game show about wanton murder, and all kinds of other kooky ideas are just another day at the office for Platinum’s intrepid crew of oddballs.

And in a world full of gray, stoic, gray shooters, the kind of zaniness that Platinum peddles is a welcome injection of color. Tired of trudging from cover-to-cover, taking a couple potshots, and then repeating the process until the act of blasting a person in the face automatically triggers your yawn reflex? Then Vanquish is for you. We’re talking about a game where your primary means of transportation is a rocket-powered knee-slide here. Also, you’re fighting space Russians. Platinum Games doesn’t make normal things. And thank God for that.

After resisting the urge to tackle producer Atsushi Inaba and wrestle the controller from his hands, we got the chance to ask him a few post-demo session questions at E3. Click past the break for Inaba’s thoughts on a pre-release Vanquish demo, the Japanese shooter market, how developing Vanquish on the PS3 has affected the Xbox 360 version, and more.

First Vanquish gameplay trailer is the best kind of crazy

vanquish

David vs. Goliath? Booooring. Try David vs. hundreds of giant robotic Goliaths, and David’s slingshot is a gun the size of small whale. That’s Vanquish in a nutshell, and while we obviously haven’t gotten our hands on the game just yet, a brand new gameplay trailer from, er, GameTrailers has us counting down the days until we get the chance to do so. Check out all the backflip-kicking, rocket-boosting carnage after the break.
