Vanquish is a western style third person shooter game by Japanese developer, and all the anime inspired cut-scens in the trailer all do not convince the real shooter fans (aka the westerners) that this is a serious shooter for macho man. So it was FAIL even before the game was reviewed to be a superb game by the western game sites, just like Black Ops will still sell 9 millions on first day no matter what the reviewers say, reviews simply does not work for shooters.
Japanese developers should just stop trying to make shooters, it just wont sell. Lets say Activision just suddenly want to make a spiky hair hero melodrama turn base JRPG developed by all westerners, would Japan market care for such a game? For me, Silent Hill end at number 4, the last by Japan Team Silent, others by Climax are simply look alike.
