I'm a big fan of motherboard and video card box art, and every time I see the artwork for Vanquish, all I can think is "Man, that would look even sweeter fading away in the window of a crappy computer parts store that really must just be a front for dog fighting or gambling or something."

His gun transforms into a Video Card 
 

...Now that's always gonna come to my mind.

That might be a big mech, it's not clear.

...why did he put it on the 9400 case?  Does anyone else not notice that?

Yes, but can it run Crysis?

Not the first time a console-only game got featured as the art for a video card...  I forget what the previous one I saw was...

Oh, don't you know? He was an intern for a while and the guys said "what the hell, why not?" "

What has been seen... cannot be unseen...

I can't tell if you're making fun of Vanquish or not. I sure hope not because... um... well... yeah it won't be good. -_- 
 
GOTY! GOTG!

Fuck you Vinny. 
 
I'll never look at the box-art the same way. 
 
*Angrily smashes his Vanquish case into the trash compactor*

This is a total Vinny observation. 

" Yes, but can it run Crysis? "

Did you pick PNY as a P.N.03 joke or am I just crazy?

I have a GeForce PNY, and I approve of this message.

" @Diamond: They did have Mass Effect on the box for the ATI cards at one point. "

I don't understand it, but for some reason this has just made me really want to buy Vanquish.

haha, you're right, they look really similar.

Please post more twitter updates / forum posts Vinny.

Holy crap, that actually looks better than what was on my box :( 

Nah, motherboards/video cards have way 'better' art than Vanquish could ever hope to have.

" Holy crap, that actually looks better than what was on my box :(

So what I'm getting from this is that if I take the vanquish disk and jam it in the 360 with another disk, that other game will look twice as good?

I do find it ironic how often graphics cards manufacturers have really crappy logos and 3D models that look like they were made in the 90s.

But will it run idtech 5?

I dunno man, remember that time when they lowered everyone's expectations of the Sonic franchise over a 15 year period, just so that people would be amazed that Sonic 4 was actually playable?  That's dedication right there. Dedication to the fucking cause. "

Now that you mention it...

Spot on, Vinny.

NOOOOOOOOOO!! I can't unsee that! When I play vanquish all I'll be thinking is 'this is one impressive tech demo!'

So can we expect a review for this game or at least a QL?

Oh wow, it's true.

Wow. Totally.

NERD! LOL, this is actually really funny.

Fits perfectly well!

Oh man, that is SO true!
 
Hell, Platinum should just make a PC version so it can get packed in with video cards, that shit is perfect.
