Looks like Lost Planet on crack and on Earth with all the typical Japanese stereotype characters.

could be worth a feel...but I"ll get Kane&Lynch 2 before that one

Alright, I opened up the thread and thought "sigh, another hyped console game..." but after watching the vid I found myself wanting an X360 for the first time in a long, long, long time.

It has a certain anime-esque style to it, without actually being anime-esque. And I must say that that style does appeal to me greatly.

i dont think this game looks all that good. And i love consoles too.

On a side note i think PC gamers need to stop being closed minded or get off their high horse, and acknowledge consoles have some really good exclusives.

Demons Souls, Uncharted 2, and even a simple 3rd person shooter like Gears of War or Halo 3 seems to play better than just about any PC games i ever played.

I tried Halo 3 once. The controls are so inaccurate and annoying that it drove me nuts.

A gamepad is simply not a precision tool like a mouse is. It's like trying to aim with a drunken camel. Far as I know uncharted 2 had Quick Time Events like Uncharted 1, in which case I'm pretty much guaranteed to hate it. QTEs are what you put in when you're low on gameplay.

ok - this looks REALLY good. 

Well, I think we'll have to agree to disagree on Vanquish. I think this game looks f'kin killer. I don't like a lot of games that have heavy QTE's. The ones in Vanquish look light in comparison to the ones in games like Ninja Blade which had enough QTE's to choke a horse. I don't get into shooters much at all, 3rd person action games even less, but this one just looks damn awesome. The character moves fast, like a Gundam, can pull off mêlée attacks or switch to guns to blow shit up with a quickness. I don't know if it's the overall theme I'm attracted to or what, but I can't wait to give it a try. Honestly though, it is one I'll rent before I buy just on principle of it being what it is. I buy very few console games in comparison to how many PC games I buy per year. Take Dante's Inferno for instance. I rented it, beat it in less than two days, and then ended up buying it just last month after the original price dropped $20. I bought a used copy at Gamestop for $35. Awesome game for a hack and slash but again I think it's the theme of the game that I'm really attracted too.

As for Bulletstorm, I don't listen to hype. I watched the game-play footage and thought it looked fun as hell. For me Bulletstorm is more of an upgraded Unreal Tournament. Something you get in to just for fun mindless kill counts. That's how I played the original Unreal Tourney and I played the shit out of it for yeeeeeaaaarrrrssss. Hell, I still re-install the original UT every year or so and play it off and on for a couple months. To me the multiplayer matches of the original UT have never been met by another game since.

looks like shit.

QTE are the worst kind of game design. They are literaly the most simple game design possible: whack a mole.

Its just a stupid bad game laid over a cutscene. If its more of an 'interactive' thing (like Indigo Propehcy) with very little in the way of 'failure' that actualy adds to the 'feel' of the scene then you have done something but most of them are litteraly just a "press x to keep playing the... OHNOES! YOU FAILED N00B!!11! BACK TO THE START OF THE GAME!"

Vanquish looks like Lost Planet on steroids. I've liked the first. Hated the second. So this game is "meh" for me.

Hmm..  what was up with grabbing that giant bullet and shoving it back down into the arm?  I guess it didn't have much force behind it if our hero was able to turn it around in mid-air like that. 

I need to see a bit more gameplay outside of boss fights.  Looks like there is some potential here but I saw some moments which made me think that monotony could set in...

Those games are fun because of the mechanics of the game.  For example, Resident Evil 4 is simply fun to play.  The situations never really alter, you're simply doing the same thing for 20 hours - but it holds up, because of it's mechanics.  Same for Ninja Gaiden, playing the game is simply fun.  This, however, simply doesn't have that 'it looks fun' rather only 'it looks explosion-y'.  Hopefully they release a demo prior to it's release, but it just doesn't hold my attention at current.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one, Don. I think this game looks funner than hell, but, I'll reserve final judgment until I rent it and try it out, just like I did with Dante's Inferno. I thought Gears of War was awesome and had Great Mechanics but I also thought your character didn't move fast enough in that game, unlike say Ninja Gaiden where you get Ninja Speed . I think this game will be a lot of fun for those times when you just want to sit back and blow shit up and gun things down.

I'm more or less the same way with my Xbox360 and Wii. I buy specific titles that I like and more or less no others. I think you'll really like Dante's Inferno. There's some DLC coming up for it that adds cooperative multiplayer to it as well so you and your son can play together. Depending on how old your son is though Dante's Inferno might be a little "mature" for him, but that's your decision. The game has some boobs in it and a lot of graphic violence. It does take place in hell after-all hehe.
