Vanquish is Coming to PC on May 25

May 102017

The Vanquish hints turned out to be exactly what we thought they were. Vanquish is coming to the PC later this month.

The Steam page is live now, and the game will be available on May 25. There is also a special 25% off deal for anyone who owns Bayonetta on Steam.

It will include unlocked frame rates and resolutions, graphics options, and Steam achievements/trading cards/etc., as well as Digital Deluxe content available for free with pre-orders.

Until I read the Steam description, I didn’t realize Vanquish was directed by Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami. That makes me even more interested in trying it.

Best of all, the press release suggests there is more to come, with a statement from Sega of Europe’s Senior Vice President of Commercial Publishing, John Clark:

“It was great to see the positive response from our community to the Bayonetta PC launch last month, and we are pleased that we are in a position to be able to announce VANQUISH, another of our highly requested back catalogue titles. There’s more to come from SEGA in this space, so stay tuned for further announcements.”

What Sega titles do you hope will come to the PC next?

Vanquish Teased for PC

May 082017

When we discussed the potential tease for Bayonetta 3, I mentioned hints that Vanquish would also be coming to PC.

Vanquish is a third-person shooter developed by PlatinumGames. When the PC version of Bayonetta was updated solely to add a Vanquish avatar to its files, fans took it as a sign that Vanquish was on its way.

Today, Sega added fuel to the fire by tweeting an image that reads “2017” next to the logo used by the Order of the Russian Star, the Russian regime in Vanquish.

This, together with the avatar, make it pretty likely that Vanquish will be available on the PC this year.

I’ve never played Vanquish, but since I enjoyed the Bayonetta games so much (and to a lesser extent, The Wonderful 101), I’m interested in anything from PlatinumGames.

For those of you who have played Vanquish, what is it like? Do you recommend it?

Top Star Wars Games I Want to See

May 052017

Yesterday was Star Wars Day (one of the more well-known of our unusual holidays), and apparently today is National Space Day.

What better time to discuss new Star Wars games we want to see, especially with E3 just over a month away?

Republic Commando 2

Star Wars: Republic Commando was one of the first shooters I ever played, and it stands out in my memory mainly because of the humorous dynamic between the four main characters.

It almost got a sequel. In fact, two sequel ideas were debated. One, Imperial Commando, would have followed a group of the Empire’s elite troops. The other, Rebel Commando, would have followed Sev after the events of Republic Commando.

Unfortunately, it was cancelled.

I’d love to see a new Republic Commando game, especially one following the Rebel Commando concept. Last year’s rumors of a sequel turned out to be false, but trailers for the new Battlefront game just reminded me how much I want to see this series return.

Knights of the Old Republic 3

I almost made my Star Wars/Space Day post about Knights of the Old Republic, until I realized I wrote about it last year. That’s because I love that game so much.

When I first played Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, it blew my mind. Star Wars and a fantastic RPG? With an excellent story and great characters, too?

The sequel was also good, although rushed.

Like the Republic Commando rumors, plenty of Knights of the Old Republic 3 rumors have surfaced. Is it too much to hope one of them is true?

Knights of the Old Republic Reboot

If it’s too much to ask, then how about a Knights of the Old Republic remake or reboot to place it in Star Wars canon once again?

Phil Spencer wants more Knights of the Old Republic, too, so maybe this one could go somewhere.

All right, so my hopes for Star Wars games amounts to anything related to Republic Commando or Knights of the Old Republic, but I know there have been plenty of cancelled and rumored Star Wars games people want to see.

What Star Wars games do you most want to be announced?
