| 1 | * AcclaimedFlop: Critics loved it, but the game itself slipped right under the radar. [[InvisibleAdvertising The game sneaked onto store shelves without any promotion or fanfare]], so hardly anyone knew about it until it was released for PSN's games on demand in 2013. |
| 2 | * ColbertBump: While being ported to the [=PlayStation=] Network and on Platform/{{Steam}} are the two cited reasons for the resurgence of interest towards ''Vanquish'', the latter helped in gaining the attention of PC gamers, especially when LetsPlay content creators such as LetsPlay/PewDiePie played it. |
| 3 | * CreatorDrivenSuccessor: ''Vanquish'' is a successor to ''VideoGame/PN03'', [[WordOfGod according to Mikami]] himself. |
| 4 | * TheDanza: Creator/GideonEmery is Sam Gideon. |
| 5 | * InvisibleAdvertising: ''Vanquish'' got advertising in Japan and France, but not America or other parts of Europe nor the rest of the world, due to Sega choosing to promote ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' instead, which led to this game's rather poor sales. |
| 6 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 7 | ** The development blog on Platinum's site details a few cool concepts that didn't make it into the game like Sam having a RobotDog who can launch missiles at enemies and provide mobile cover. Another having a female android partner who could [[TransformingMecha transform]] and [[CombiningMecha combine]] with Sam. The former eventually inspired the character of Bladewolf from ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''. |
| 8 | ** The robots get mobile cover robots, much like pets. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments One of them even turns into a boombox.]] |
