If there is any tearing in the 360 version, I didn't notice it.

the 360 tearing is mostly in the challenges from what I could tell, and the training area
the game itself has some minor tearing, but it's pretty tough to see and be bothered with. i hate tearing and the 360 version didn't bother me at all

Played through the game first on casual, then normal.
I don't understand how a melee attack immediately exhausts your energy, but sliding up to an enemy then kicking them in the face into a backflip doesn't? Although it does look totally sweet.
Scoring system seems to be highly speed based. The amount of points you get for killing enemies is nothing compared to the huge time bonuses you can rack up.

I am getting routinely violated in the bum by challenge wave
.
6-5
I've gotten the destruction of the balls down, LFE gun redeemed and all, but MAN the double bogeys rip me in half. I'm lucky if I can get one down to half before the other catches me in a beam or one of those overheating attacks.
Any tips outside of the usual dodge-cancel and haul ass suggestions?

Ryan Davis gives Vanquish 4/5. Of course, he's known to be a God Hand/Clover fanboy and that's the only reason he reviewed this game for Giant Bomb and gave it a good score. :lol

This game... It simply impresses! The last time I was this impressed was Gears of War. Vanquished - like GOW - is a game changer. Future games will owe much to this.
I'm only playing once a week with friends on our game night, just passing the controller around. I think we just finished 2-5, where you have to fight two argus cores (spider and man.) It was tough and we died several times but when it was done we just shot off the couch, pumping fists and high fiving. The whole room just erupted in appreciation and excitement. We've played games this way for ten years and something like that happens so rarely.

Okay but I'm saying there is tearing and noticeable frame rate drops.leng jai said:

man this game is just incredible. in Act 3 right now and there have been some sections that are just breathtakingly cool and fun to play.
i want more.
i want more.
I don't own Vanquish yet. I haven't checked this thread since ascertaining the game was good. I have played the demo all of once the day it was released. Yet last night I dreamt that I was in a huge, dark warehouse filled with cover, and I was boosting around exactly like Sam while shooting some kind of cybernetic enemies with an assault rifle and doing backflips off the wall. I had two squadmates with me, and after we cleared the room we went for pizza.

Yeah, no. JoeFenix was saying was that there is no screen tearing present in the PS3 build. To which you resonded that the statement was bull and there are in fact framerate drops.
Which is a goofy assed reply, but correct nonetheless in that yes, there are frame rate drops in both builds. Although very, very mild in most instances. Your later, and current statement about screen tearing is flat out false though in the PS3 build. It's triple buffering with v-sync.

Would anyone care to describe the scoring system? I know there's a time bonus, a bonus for killing enemies, and a bonus attached to killing enemies, although I'm not sure what triggers it. Do any of your other stats affect your score? Is the timer going when you are moving towards an objective at the start or end of an act and no enemies are around yet? Would have loved to see a timer counter in the main game as well as the score counter.
I really don't like how the long, boring as hell credit scrolling 'shoot the developers' segment counts towards your score. It really is a drag.
I don't like how weapons are dropped randomly (besides the ones in fixed installations). Combine 'exit to title' or 'checkpoint' with random weapon spawns and getting the best score will mostly rely on restarting until you get the best weapon for the section you're in. That's an extra layer of flawed tedium I wouldn't expect from a game that's supposed to be focused on scoring.

ps3 version does not have v sync. I have the ps3 version it has tearing in the same areas the 360 version has it but also framerate issues If had to choose again I'd get the 360 version. Joe fenix was saying they are identical and as a graphics nut I'm telling you they aren't.Foxix said:

haha these threads ALWAYS dive into a spiral of retardation. the better the game, the more ridiculous things are mentioned.
ps3 has NO tearing! JoeFenix is correct
i wonder if they both have texture pop in? :lol

I am doing the exact same thing, lol. I am alternating between this and Kirby's Epic Yarn, which is...interesting, to say the least.
I have no idea what you're seeing, but all I notice in the PS3 version is texture and object pop-in and an occasional framerate dip. Otherwise, smooth sailing. And I'm someone who has repeatedly traded PS3 versions of games for 360 ones due to small, subtle differences like slight tearing (e.g., AC2).practice02 said:
If it's there, I'm glad I can't see it!
Shmups aside, this and Bayonetta are probably the console games this gen I'll be replaying the most. The awesome gameplay just makes it so easily replayable. Though, I prefer Vanquish's pacing. Doesn't make you have to hunt down hidden encounters, nor does it have you go through boring vehicle sections (having to go through a particularly tedious one everytime you want to fight the coolest battle in the game should be a crime).

Uh right, besides the ending credits that you have to play through if you want a high score?

I'm not even sure how to respond to this.
Either A: You have actually been playing on a 360 and are just severely confused.
B: Are misinformed as to the definition of screen tearing.
C: Have a PS3 that is about to keel over and spew solder all over your carpet.
D: You have somehow managed to severely cross Rei and are presently feeling the effects of the South Star Waterfowl Fist.*
*Note: In the case of D you are already dead.

most of the enemies track you by heat. when he throws the cig, it'll distract them for a moment, giving you some breathing room.

Serious comment the robots track it do to the fact that it is a heat source you can use it as a temporary distraction.Foxix said:
