Vanquish Is the Starship Troopers of Video Games

Vanquish has more in common with Starship Troopers than you think.

B00kman5057d ago

As a fan of Robert Heinlein's original Starship Troopers, I'm more than excited to check out Vanquish when it comes out for the PC (never). Oh well, I suppose I'll read your article, rewatch the Verhoeven adaptation, and that should suffice.

choadley5057d ago

I still need to see Starship Troopers.

Eiffel5057d ago (Edited 5057d ago )

One and Two were good.

I'd strongly skip the Third.

Dnied5057d ago

really?

one was obviously the greatest but I thought 2 was complete garbage... 3 was as well but atleast they brought whats his name back to play rico lol

Baka-akaB5057d ago (Edited 5057d ago )

there is only one starship troopers worth mentioning besides the original book ...

Hellsvacancy5057d ago (Edited 5057d ago )

I didnt mind the cgi tv series http://www.youtube.com/watc... i use 2 watch it b4 went school

Verhoeven should do a PROPER sequel/reboot

Downtown boogey5057d ago

Haha :D

The special effects were excellent for it's time but... everything else sucks, big time... Especially the acting.

BYE5057d ago

The first one is worth watching, but don't even bother with 2 and 3.

It's pretty much the same as From Dusk till Dawn, the first one was awesome, the others sucked because of different director and actors.

Balt 5057d ago

I loved Vanquish for the Ps3. I put it in my top 3 Ps3 games ever played.

1. Uncharted
2. Vanquish
3. Bionic Commando

And yes, I'm being 100% serious about the Bionic Commando bit. That game is truly amazing in all aspects. An epic game with one of the best boss fights ever! The WORM.

Downtown boogey5057d ago

You haven't played MGS4..?
Or R&C: Tools of Destruction?

Balt 5057d ago (Edited 5057d ago )

Yes, I own both of them. I didn't like MGS4 at all, keep in mind I was never a huge fan of any of them, though. I loved the Nes version but that was it.

Loved R&CTOD, though. It was in my top 5. Hated R&CACIT, though. Didn't care for GOW3, either. I have much different taste in gaming. You'd be surprised at what I find better than others. The Club, for instance, loved it. Thought it was a flawless example of what it set out to do. Not the best game in the world, but near perfect for it's genre and style.

I get every thing that comes out, though. Well, almost. It depends. I'm not a gamer, though. I usually do it as a creative outlet more than anything.

Ryo-Hazuki5057d ago

Agree. Vanquish is one of my top 5 games of all-time not just ps3.

1. Shenmue 1 & 2
2. Vanquish
3. RE 4
4. Onimushia
5. Silent Bomber/ Ninja Gaiden Black/ MGS

MrChow6665056d ago

I agree, I also got it ps3 and loved it

Downtown boogey5057d ago

As for their role in their corresponding mediums of entertainment, they're got absolutely NOTHING in common. Nothing.

jbiz3205057d ago

THIS is a videogame that needs to be made.. How dope would a Starship Troopers game be if made right??

JacobIsHollywood5057d ago

They tried that. It was terrible. You're right though. If made correctly, it would have been incredible!

BYE5057d ago

I think the franchise has been milked enough now.

There already are two Starship Troopers FPS games and one RTS...

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake164d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX163d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer164d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils164d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg164d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Titan fall 2 was chefs kiss. For those of you who haven't played it go ahead. Brilliant. With each level being creatively different.

Yui_Suzumiya477d ago

Island, Steins;Gate Elite and Soma.

MadLad477d ago

Soma is an epic experience.

jznrpg477d ago (Edited 477d ago )

Does ISLAND have English subs ? I can’t find a copy that says it has English subs for PS only the Switch version which I rather not buy .

Love Steins Gate and Soma

shinoff2183477d ago (Edited 477d ago )

FRom what i could find. Nothing with English subs.

Yui_Suzumiya476d ago

I own a physical copy on Switch and it does have English subtitles so it's all good on Switch and Playstation.

Yui_Suzumiya476d ago (Edited 476d ago )

My bad. Steam and Switch have English but PS4 and Vita only have Japanese. Sony doesn't mess with many visual novels which is why I only own a Switch OLED and laptop for all my games.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

cthulhucultist512d ago

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Vengeance1138512d ago

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot
