Has this game made anyone else want to go back and play other Platinum/Clover Studio games? I'm on a huge kick right now and I'm running around town trying to track down Okami and Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2. The sad part is that at one point I had all of these games but I'm an IDIOT and sold them...at least I still have God Hand.

Yeah. I've had an urge to play Okami and God Hand the past few days.

oh wow the unknown is so good

i love the animation on it when you expose the little guy

and can you disable the romanov's aiming or something by shooting them in the head enough? i noticed that once their head is all blue sparks they seem to just go nuts and shoot randomly rather than targeting you so much.

Boom: Zenimax buys Tango and Shinji Mikami
Zenimax just confirmed it’s bought Tango Gameworks and, with it, Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami.

“It’s refreshing to find a publisher who understands, trusts, and supports the development of blockbuster games and works to make it a collaborative effort,” said Mikami.

“The library of AAA franchise titles ZeniMax owns speaks for itself. We are very excited to be joining ZeniMax and working with a company that is dedicated to creating the best games ever made.”

The studio, based in Tokyo, will stay under Mikami’s direction.

“Shinji Mikami has earned a stellar reputation as one of the industry’s finest game developers,” said Zenimax chief Robert Altman.

“He has repeatedly created hit titles that have earned praise from fans and critics around the world. We share his vision for innovative, genre-defining games and look forward to working with Shinji and his team at Tango.”

Nothing was mentioned in the press release of any specific dev project. Mikami’s most recent title is Sega shooter Vanquish, developed at Platinum.

The move is the latest in a string of high profile buys for Zenimax, which include id Software and Arkane Studios.

No clue. Mikami was never actually a Platinum employee. Tango was his actual company from the beginning.

Vanquish is one of those games where playing through the tutorial is highly beneficial.

Is there a trick to getting the "shoot down two floating turrets" in act 3-3 (3-4?) where you are riding the tram and shooting down spotlights. I have tried like 50 times and I cant kill either one of them, ARS mode doesnt work either because the trams front is blocking your view.

You still need to use ARS mode, but don't stay at the front of the tram. Snipe from the very back. Your shot won't be blocked from there.

man, i'm getting my ass handed to me on normal :E in Act 2 and so far i've gotten one-shotted about five times and never knew what the hell even happened. one time i think i touched some energy field wall.. insta-death :E

game is brutal to me. BUT really, really damn amazing. i think the
train level
was the best one of its kind i've ever seen in a game. absolutely astonishing with some insane choreography going on.

i really need to get better at managing the AR gauge... i keep overheating by accident or badly-timed melee and then die in 2 seconds. grrr.

Wouldn't add anything to the game, though. And don't say they should add a suit with new AR modes or something, because that kind of defeats what the entire game is designed around.

Why not make the pre-order weapons available for everyone after you complete the game on hard or whatever ?

Yeah, it would kind of break the game. I suppose a "limiters off" mode might be fun to fool around in for a while, but you wouldn't be able to enter the rankings. I hope they release new Challenges.
