About this game

Vanquish is a third-person shooter with a focus on cover tactics, similar to Gears of War , but it is also the first game with those mechanics by a Japanese development team.

The player controls Sam Gideon, a member of DARPA, who fights with the new ARS (Augmented Reaction Suit) system battle-suit, which grants him incredibly fast reflexes and maneuverability, inspired by the 1970s anime television series Casshern .

The story takes place in the future.

The Order of the Russian Star, after taking control of Russian government with a coup d'etat, hijacks an American space station dedicated to the creation of solar energy and uses it to destroy San Francisco thus declaring war to the United States.

They demand an unconditional surrender or they will also destroy New York city.

Gideon is sent there to stop them.

During the game Gideon works together with a military task force, led by Robert Burns.

The military unit is controlled by the computer AI.

They provide support and Gideon can revive them when they die.

Gideon is helped from a distance by Elena Ivanova, who tracks the suit and provides information about the environment.

Gideon's suit provides for very fast-paced gameplay.

He is able to boost slide to new areas that provide cover and there is a very strong melee attack.

The focus is however on ranged-weapon shooting.

Some of the fights are also shown as in-game cinematics showing off elements of the suit's power (such as flying) that are not available to the player.

Health is restored automatically, but when too much damage is taken, the game goes into an Augmented Reality (AR) mode where all the action is slowed down, similar to bullet time .

During that short time frame, more precise firing is possible and there is some time to look for cover, but health is at a critical state.

AR can also be triggered manually, but this drains the suit's power.

Sliding also drains it, so Gideon often needs to find a safe place to restore the suit before it overheats.

About PlayStation 4

The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.

Gamevaro tracks Vanquish for PlayStation 4 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Vanquish to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS4 release dates back to 2020.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Vanquish, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 4 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
