Resident Evil Creator Shinji Mikami’s Vanquish Announced for PS3
SEGA Europe and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami have today unveiled some screenshots and nuggets of information about forthcoming third-person action-shooter, Vanquish. Developed by Platinum games and directed by Shinji Mikami, Vanquish is an epic sci-fi shooter with a frenetic combat system and an immersive storyline set in the near future, where Russia and the US are at war over the planet’s dwindling energy resources. Players take the role of Sam, a government agent who wears a futuristic battle suit and wields an impressive array of weapons, as well as being a skilled martial artist. This is what Shinji Mikami had to say about the game:
“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.”
Vanquish is due for release in Winter 2010 on PlayStation 3.
