Not heard of Vanquish? Well, basically it is the fourth title that will be released by Platinum Games (under a deal with Sega) and is being created by the mastermind behind the Resident Evil franchise. So what exactly does this mean? Your guess is as good as ours at this point in time because details have been light.

At a recent media event in Tokyo however, finally some information slipped out for the public to devour. The game is due to release in a Winter window in Japan, and unlike Platinum Games former title (Bayonetta) this game will be developed with PS3 as the lead platform.

Shinji Mikami has shed some light on the plot, the Russian military has been using some advanced satellite technology via a space colony to ravage a major American city, to counter this the American military mobilizes on the colony to defend it. The main character, Sam, joins the battle sporting a high-tech futuristic suit which provides him with enhanced physical abilities. Sam is a researcher for DARPA, a team that played a pivotal role in the development of the ARS (Augmented Reaction Suit). In the demo, Sam was seen combating a giant mech. Sam has an arsenal at his disposal such as weapons, his enhanced physical abilities and a bullet-time feature.

One final piece of information, there will be no multiplayer. Mikami has said he would much rather focus on the single player experience than worry about putting in multiplayer to be everyone else.
