Vanquish kills Gears of War!!!

Okay, okay, maybe not a fair comparison, but the following video will make you want to buy this game...

I've seen a few people say they played the demo and thought it was average. Hint: you were playing it wrong. Watch and see how it is meant to be played...

nice thread title...

guaranteed to get people posting.

Does it look good? Yes. Does it kill Gears of War? No way in hell.

Nah it really doesn't. It's good and all but Gears is still great.

No, not really. They aren't trying to do the same thing.

TC is doing it wrong. I believe a proper title would be "Gears of War just got VANQUISHED"

:lol:

That said, other then the cover element and genra they couldn't be anymore different. I'm inclined to agree that Vanquish blows Gears away, but that's simply because it's fast-paced gameplay appeals to me much more than Gears' pop-up and shoot gameplay.

Haven't seen you in a while...so what is this thread about, exactly? Cherokee_Jack

the excessive bullet time is what makes this game kind of medicore

turns the gameplay into more of a visual thing than a fun experience, bullet time can be fun but too much bullet time will make the game kind of easy, its like batman's xray vision, you can leave it on all game so being able to see everything releases any tension the sneaking around could have made.

Meh, it's good, though Gears 3 would probably be as good maybe even better.

Normally I would be inclined to agree but Vanquish is such an amazing spectacle to look at in slow-mo that it never grows tiresome for me. Bullet-time has never looked THIS good in my opinion.

that did not change anything, the game is still a boring pos.

it has NOTHING on gears 1. honestly, it's laughable to see them even be compared quality wise.

Mr_Cumberdale

gears 1 however, really made me rethink what was possible on a home-console system back in the day. it blew my mind, a prologue for the quality that was yet to come. Dead-Memories

It did that for a lot of us. It was the first title that made many say "Oh...so this is what next gen will be all about," myself included.

I get to do my own comparison this weekend...just got a text that I get to borrow the PS3 version. Awesome. :D

[QUOTE="gaming25"][QUOTE="savagetwinkie"] well its still more spectacle then fun and thats what i mean, and it doesn't look as good as games like max payne 2 no rag doll physics and stuff littered across the level to knock around = meh slow mosavagetwinkie

It only makes sense though, being that you're killing robots. You can't expect a robot body to flail around like a human body.

Does it look good? Yes. Does it kill Gears of War? No way in hell.

marcogamer07

I haven't played Vanquish, but judging from that video it looks a lot more fun than Gears of War. Not saying much, mind you.

[QUOTE="savagetwinkie"]

[QUOTE="gaming25"] Max Payne 2? This game looks far better than Max Payne 2, especially the slow motion, there is just a lot more cool things to do in slow motion in this game.Master_ShakeXXX

Just because you take cover in a game doesn't mean its a Gears rip off. GRAW 1 and 2 use a cover system but do they rip off gears of war?

its not hard to kill gow its a pretty poor game thats overrated for all the goreelbert_b_23

[QUOTE="savagetwinkie"] but its only technical, i think max payne 2 has more charm with rag doll and stuff that gets knocked around. vanquish slo mo is stupid and lasts too long, and recharges too fast. I got bored of it in the demo.

To each his own. I find rag-doll physics to be a bit over-done. Watching in slo-mo as bullets whiz by your head, sparks and chunks flying off of the bots as you shoot them, explosions, particles, etc. all looks amazing in Vanquish, and far more impressive than watching body parts flail around they're made out of rubber.

Vanquish IMO has raised the bar for how intense and fun a TPS can be. And Savage Twinkie, if you actually play the full game you will still die even with slomo, it is a balanced mechanic and does not take away from intensity. On hard, it is the most intense game I've played for a long while. I've had more fun with this game than anything this year, and will replay it many times. It is spectacular and I highly recommend it. I can't believe SW is apparently not appreciating this game. It is SICK.Deathtransit

Multiplatform games rarely get appreciated in System Wars. SW is all about exclusives. Dumb, I know, but that's how it works here.

Vanquish seems like a great game, but that video was weak.

Gears 2 possibly.

Gears 1 nope.

Haters can not accept this a Japanese TPS game is being as good or better than their beloved western TPS games xD.
