Vanquish is the best TPS this Gen

And is sadly highly underrated. From a pure gameplay standpoint it smokes Gears of War's clunky, completely cover based shooting.

A Vanquish 2 has got to be made with the same love as GRAW. Imagine playing a Multiplayer of Vanquish gameplay...be the best **** ever.

A Vanquish 2

Lambent7

Like that will ever happen.

APB reloaded will have twice the mp it had and will have twice the longevity of that game. vanquish is good but not great. APB when p2p was bad its f2p rebirth is certainly most promising. i mean name another f2p game that lets you bust a move, run voer your enemies and mug pedestrians all in one day ONLINE.

Yeah, Vanquish was very good. But is wasn't perfect. I reckon it really needed a jump button, and a melee system that didn't suck as much as it did.

We don't need a Vanquish 2. Vanquish was fun mainly because it was original.

It literally offended me that my character could do all those cool jumping tricks in cutscenes but I didn't even have a simple jump button.

As for Vanquish, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't my personal best TPS this generation. The game's core mechanics are great, but that's pretty much all there is to the game, it's core. It really needed some longevity, some variety, maybe a memorable soundtrack, a decent story that is either good or so-bad-it's-good instead of just bad, and some co-op or multiplayer probably would have helped.

I've enjoyed other TPS more.

its not that bad and they cut all the rpg out of the game. its mroe of an open world tps now with side event and objective based gameplay. but the f2p players suffer pretty badly at the hands of paid for content as they need to keep playing in order to even stack up next to a user of the micro-store.

vehicle controls are a bit floaty but pretty driveable once you get adjusted and omitting a few abuses its pretty darn good and for a f2p game its THE msot demanding one there is and the best imho visually.

its also has a problem with tick but thats being fixed. recent fixes have really fixed matchmaking and its almsot impossible now for a high ranked most wanted veteran to get grouped with newbies and future changes will solidify this.

it also has some amazing set pieces and amazing character customization. simply put you can jsut about everything to trick out your character and then some.

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]I'm sorry but unless they've completely changed the game, then it's still going to be a complete joke. APB was pure garbage. I can't see it's rerelease going any better.

I can name better TPS's -

Socom Confrontation
Socom 4
Hessian
War Inc Battlezone
Uncharted 3
Gears of War 3
Lost Planet 1, Colonies and 2
And the upcoming Binary Domain

Not that i don't like Vanquish, i enjoyed it, wish it came to the PC.

as an rpg well it snot an rpg anymore so thats gone to comapre with. but as a team based online tps its got alot of unique features and can be quite fun if your willing to give it a chance and deal wtih the beta stage bugs its currently living in. its beta is actually been revised to ver 2.1 recently marking the debut of a brand new player sorting system which basically makes it impossible for high rnaking uber toons to game with lowbie's anymore. the downside si that the higher ranked players have a lot less competition and players and it also means matches ridiculosuly easy to find and be balanced in on higher ones. i join games now never having to fear mr gold rank 13 with his neon green bulletbroof hummer and rpg. and instead need only fret about the silly fools with the horrible auto sniper and the ever so inaccurate smg.

It's up there. I love the fluidity of the game, I can only imagine playing it on PC at 60 FPS :cry:

Boss battles are pretty cool, but in between there could be some better enemy variety.

socom 4 is a disgrace to socom as a franchise

No, it's not. Gears and Uncharted series are both better than Vanquish.

I like Vanquish but its not the best TPS shooter this gen, that would be GOW and UC.

It was good, but had its problems. Melee was craptastic, no jump button (it would have worked with this TPS), controls could have used a little bit of tweaking.

ya know im suprised that uncharted hasnt capitalized mroe on the lakc of laracroft on the market and tried to capture some of her audience. i say there is a lot of potential to jsut walk right into that. no instead nathan drakeis jsut a gun totting cowboy who can appraise and study antique's

he should work for swatawatata.

Yeah, Vanquish is great but i prefer Gears of War. From graphics to story, gameplay and gore :twisted:

Yup, Vanquish hands down is the best TPS. I have trouble playing Gears now, because it just feels so slow in comparison.

Nope. Not even close.

Vanquish is not just the best TPS this gen, it's also the best shooter this gen.

Vanquish 2 isn't going to happen (Platinum doesn't do sequels). And even though I agree, I find it funny that I've played through Mass Effect 2 twice, and Vanquish only once... and am already planning a third run.foxhound_fox

I think Vanquish 2 and Bayonetta 2 will both happen.

Anarchy Reigns may as well be MadWorld 2 at this point.

I finally got around to playing it a few weeks back and from a gameplay standpoint I think it is most definitely up there. The only things I did not really like about the game were the samey enemies, the cheesy on purpose story and the brevity of the experience. Overall, I thought it was a short, but sweet game that was held together only by it's gameplay. However, this is forgivable because it was so fun to play while it lasted. It was a great rental.

Vanquish wouldn't exist without Gears.

Killswitch was made last gen. the TC is downplaying the importance of Gears to absolutely nothing.

considering the thread is about shooters made this generation? reading is fun.

it deserves to be up there or there abouts. no question about that

Eh... it was fun. Incredible core gameplay, but the rest of the game (level design, enemy variety, pacing, game lenght, boss fights, set-pieces, presentation) doesn't live up to it, which finally gave me the impression of a game that didn't live up to its full potential.

Gears of War and Uncharted 2 are a much more complete package. Vanquish is definitely a great game, just it's not the best TPS this gen.

One of my favorite games of the gen :), too bad the sales basically confirmed there will be no sequel.

Nah, it recycles boss and basically uses the same enemies throughout, the environments are bland, campaign is too short for no mp and the gameplay is good but the sliding gets old fast. People told me this game does enough to be "fresh" but imo it does alot of things that make it feel repetitive even more so than Gears or UC.

Vanquish was a very good TPS, but surely not the best. The Gears series and the Uncharted series own it. Heck so does Lost Planet, and I'm sure there are others that I'm not remembering right now from this generation. I've never thought it was under-rated, most people respect it as a good solid game, but since it didn't sell very well it's pretty doubtful we will see a sequel. Still I would love to see a Vanquish 2.

Vanquish did take a whole level out of gears.. that underground level with the exploding ticker like creatures reminded me of gears underground level with its exploding tickers :|
