Vanquish To Be The Same Across Both Platforms

identical!

Platinum Games’ Vanquish, their over-the-top, insane, slick 3rd person shooter looks pretty damned amazing so far. Platinum Games’ last gem Bayonetta was considerably worse on the PS3 than its Xbox counterpart. Considering that Vanquish’s engine is built upon the framework constructed for Bayonetta, PS3 owners have valid reasons to be wary.

According to Hideaki Nakata, responsible for tuning the engine for PS3, those fears are unnecessary.

“We also tuned the title so that if you play Vanquish on the PS3 or the Xbox 360 you should notice little to no differences. Even the developers on the Vanquish team have a hard time telling the two versions apart at a glance… So no matter which console you have, you have nothing to worry about!" said Nakata on the game’s blog

Of course, this is something jilted PS3 owners have heard before, most recently with Mafia II – claims which ended up not exactly being true.

Check out the latest trailer for the game – showcasing the game’s pre-order bonus weapon DLC – and let’s hope that Nakata is right – and that they’ve managed to achieve multiplatform parity.

    This is another game that probably wont get the attention or sales it deserves because of the GT5, Halo and COD’s of the world. I wonder if anyone even knows that this game is from the man that made Resident Evil 4.

    I cant wait to see his new game at TGS. His new game is being worked on by himself, Suda 51 ( No More Heroes and Killer 7 ) and Akira Yamaoka ( Silent hill series ). Its being published by EA and is supposed to be an uncensored survival horror. These are 3 of the most talented men in the industry with loads of money from EA. This should be interesting :biggrin:

    Back to Vanquish and its a day one for me. I dont even have to watch any trailers. If its from Shinji Mikami its AAA confirmed!

    The first time I saw a vid for this game I had to scroll back to the title, because it really looked like a Gears of War game, but you know it could be a hit or miss when one of the characters says in a gruffy voice “You know Imma gonna need a bigger gun!”.

    Pass the Ham!

    Although seriously, I am cautiously optimistic that the PS3 version will be on par with the xbox 360 version (as Geoff has mentioned we’ve heard it before), otherwise it’ll be just be another game to skip. :ninja:

    Vanquish is good but its their own fault for releasing in such a stupid month, they should release anytime in 2011

    2011-2012 the year of the Ps3 exclusives

    Maybe they don’t mind releasing in that month so much because they are thinking more about the Japanese market that doesn’t care for Halo and COD the way that the rest of the world does.

    Still, seems silly to not take their releases into account.

    If it’s a typical SEGA Japanese release, I seriously doubt they care much about Halo, in addition most Japanese games only reach our western shores after at least 6 months (i.e. Bayonetta, Yakuza, Final Fantasy, wasn’t Metal gear solid 4 delayed for almost 6 months? etc.).

    Therefore, we could potentially only see this game in 2011.

    PS: I’m yet to hear that Halo is important to Japanese gamers.
