From the game director of Resident Evil 4 comes a new shooter to the Sci-Fi FPS genre: Vanquish. The release date has now been set to October 19, 2010, and will release on both consoles, the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
The games plot is as follows: you play as a guy by the name of Sam who works for the U.S Special Forces. The U.S. and Russia are at odds and are constantly fighting and bickering over the world's resources which, seeing how the game is set in the future, are vastly depleted. The U.S., to counter the energy problems, built a giant space station to absorb solar energy. However, the Russians decided that they wanted the space station too. After a short battle, the Russians took over the station, and fired the contained solar energy into San Fransisco, destroying it.
Well, the U.S. wasn't very happy about that, so they decided to send their Special Forces in order to take the space station back from the Russians.
Seeing as it's the future and there are robots everywhere, Sam is sent in with a high tech battle suit capable of superhuman dexterity and strength. The game focuses mainly on a cover to cover combat system. In fact, Sam's suit is equipped with boosters so that when you change cover, instead of simply running, he engages his boosters and does an lightning fast slide across the terrain in order to reach said cover, all while dodging enemy fire, blowing up robots, and occasionally moving so fast the entire world around him looks like it's moving in slow motion.
Look for Vanquish, with it's explosive action, crazy lasers, and super combat suits in stores on October 19th, 2010.
