Killer Spots: Vanquish




Wow. Gorgeous new trailer for Sega's Vanquish produced by the gang at Logan.

The bad news is that this genre has so many games in it that all of them start to look like Halo after a while. And I'll admit that it's been entirely too long since I logged on to Live, so maybe I'm just the last guy to see this, but I'm really impressed with the spot regardless.

The surface textures, lighting and movement at the end remind me a lot of District 9, and I've always been a sucker for detail shots of power suits being assembled (Iron Man didn't do much to curb that enthusiasm. By the way, check out Danny Yount and Prologue's amazing schematic end titles from that movie if I never posted them before...).

Shades of the Gears of War 2 trailer at the top as well, although fans have apparently already been talking about the praying mantis moment in different terms than that (something to do with an alien invasion?). I'll have to look in to the story a little more to see whether or not the title is worth checking out, but it seems the promo has already done its job... here I am talking about it!
