So, now that I have your attention, the name of this game is Vanquish, and it will be available for PS3 and 360, possibly this fall. The man behind the game is Shinji Mikami.
The game is essentially Gears of War, but with a faster pace, from what I’ve seen so far. However, that’s not to say that it should be skipped over as a wannabe Gears, but instead should be considered a great alternative to Gears.
The controls are what you would typically expect from a third-person shooter, with grenades on the triangle button, L1 as aim, and R1 for shooting. You can lean up against walls and jump over them, or run out to the left, just like Gears of War as well. However, the game allows you to activate some type of rocket pack that has your character speeding along the ground; this mechanic was very fun, and I didn’t have any problem controlling it. While speeding along the ground, you are able to zoom up to some cover, or even get in close to the enemies for an aweseom flip-kick attack.
That’s my impression for now, and I eagerly await more gameplay and footage to be revealed. With a big name like Shinji Mikami attached to it, its guaranteed to be worth checking out.
