Pre-ordering Vanquish from GameStop will grant access to a set of three exclusive weapons: the Boost Machine Gun, the Anti-Armor Pistol, and the Laser Cannon. If, for some reason, you're not entirely sold on the idea of free extra stuff with your game, you can see all three weapons in action after the break.
Though we can't imagine what would dissuade you. Even the staunchest GameStop detractor must agree that Vanquish plus Laser Cannon is a much more attractive proposition than Vanquish minus Laser Cannon.
I'm been keeping my eye on this game since the weird ass premeire teaser released. I think it looks very fun. I can't wait for the demo next week. Either it'll be a buy or bust.
GOD DAMMIT that laser cannon looks SWEET!!! Curse you pre-order bonuses that I can't afford!!! Anywho, this seriously pisses me off. Why is such a sick looking weapon that is already created for the game not in the game if I don't preorder it? I mean I could understand if it is an unlockable, but this really grinds my gears. Pre-orders should just come with an action figure or soundtrack....dammit :(
Well, I think most of the in-game preorder bonuses eventually get put up as dlc, so I'd think at least you can get them eventually. Could be wrong though.
I'm interested.. wondering about the achievement list & any limited edition.. still need to go back through Bayonetta on Hard & get all the collectibles.. which I love my Scarbough Fair pistol preorder..
@GmLucra It's made by the same company that made Bayonetta. I haven't played the full game, but I really liked the demo, so I think this game is in good hands.
Actually, Sega is merely the publisher of the game. The developer is Platinum Games, the same team that brought us the awesome Bayonetta. I have strong confidence that this game is going to kick some major @$$.
I'm expecting 8/10 and 9/10 for this title. If Platinum nails this one, I might place them on my shortlist of A-developers. My list is only comprised of Nintendo, Double Fine, and Capcom (Clover).
I had high hopes for this game based on the trailers but I found the gameplay to be quite lacking. This is based on about 15 mins of demo play so the final game migth be different. I`ll rent it for sure.
F#$% Retailer Exclusive Pre-Order Bonuses! That being said I hope these are available to ALL at some point because Vanquish might end up being my favorite game of all time and I'd hate to be punished because I don't shop at Lamestop. I've already got both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions on Pre-Order at Amazon.
