    Vanquish, an extremely @insertcredit.com 7/10 style video game, is on sale for $6 currently. Also, I strongly dislike it which makes it even more of an insert credit video game. Give it a look if you haven't before. store.steampowered.com/app/460810/V...

    Capcom is sleeping on Pragmata. I spent months wondering what this game's actual gameplay was like but spent 90 seconds in the demo and immediately could tell this game feels GREAT and is EXTREMELY FUN to just move around and shoot in. I see hints of Lost Planet/Vanquish/Astral Chain heritage here.

    Tried the Pragmata demo on Switch 2. This jumped up from "Game I've heard about" to "Game I want to pick up day 1." Gameplay felt great - like a cross between original RE4 and something like Dead Space or Vanquish. The hacking mini-games are a lot of fun. Looks great on the Switch 2.

    This time in #RandomGameSaturday: Vanquish. PlatinumGames' twist on TPS games, a very intense game, full of moments of pure action, in an atmosphere, at times elegant, aseptic, futuristic, and at others a chaos of destruction, which we can see being in slow motion with bullet time.

    It works because it’s Arcadey fun and tonally closer to a game like Vanquish. Dead space if it was mostly pleasant and nice all the time. Unclecore Xbox 360 game unstuck in time that would be a hidden gem if it wasn’t such a big, successful push from Capcom.

    If you want to know what I'm talking about, go and look up Vanquish for the 360, a game released in 2010. Most new games look either as good, or worse than this, to me. I have friends who were five years old when this game came out.

    I thought Alien Soldier was ahead of its time. Difficult to master, but when it clicks, it does feel like a 2D character action game. In fact, something like Vanquish, kinda feels like its 3D cousin.

    PN 03 was a critical and commercial flop that forced Shinji Mikami back onto working on Resident Evil 4, one of the greatest games ever made. But at least it was a stylish flop! It also was the seed for his later game, Vanquish, which was also underrated when it launched in 2010!

I haven't made pixel art in a while, so I started with some small icons and a character base sprite that I'll use to build off of for the actual characters the game will have. This little idle animation was fun to make!

It's a cover-based shooter with a fast sense of action and some great set piece moments. It's also short and fairly easy to complete!
