The shooting would not be slow, cover-driven Gears of War-style shooting, instead focusing on a fast-pace, true to the series’ roots. In these sections, Vectorman would have a variety of dodges, slides, and stylish shooting moves to fire upon multiple enemies at once.
This would be mixed with fully 3D segments of all-out action, with an increased focus on shooting, combat, and cinematic set pieces. I don’t think Vectorman should stray too far from its platforming roots, and the levels would still consist of lengthy platforming-like segments, mainly in 2D. My vision of Vectorman 3 would feature a solid mix of running-and-gunning platforming and scenes of all-out action. This allows him to transform into pretty much anything, and the possibilities for this in a 3D game are so endless that I’m amazed nobody’s tried it yet. His character design’s also inspired, his body looking like it consists of tiny spheres being magically held together. The character’s got “SEGA Mascot” written all over him, right down to the way he grooves to his music as he soars in his spaceship at the start of Vectorman 2. Orbots have been sent to Earth to clean up the mess, and Vectorman’s one such Orbot, who takes it upon himself to stop a rogue Orbot from seizing control of the planet.
Vectorman takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting, where the humans have abandoned Earth, which has been destroyed by their own doing. I still definitely think it’s possible to make a great next gen Vectorman game, and if you hit the jump, you’ll see how I’d go about reviving this Genesis icon for the current gen, and you can express your own ideas as well. Though an attempt was made to revive the character back on the PS2 in 2003, the game was cancelled. This week, I tackle Vectorman, a pretty awesome SEGA Genesis run-and-gun platformer that was developed by BlueSky Software and published by SEGA. The new feature where we discuss what we feel would be the perfect way to do sequels to some of our favorite SEGA games. Annnnnnd introducing….SEGA Sequel Saturdays.
