"Do you want to touch me?" is one of Bayonetta's taunts.
P.S it never happens
This is a badass picture

Makes sense. Kick the shit out of Paradiso in Bayonetta. Not really anybody left, except for Inferno. Maybe I'll get to axe kick Queen Sheba into a black hole.

well all the enemies in the video were undoubtedly from paradiso..so..maybe we will be against both paradiso and inferno.

For quality???
Absolutely.
For sales???
That remains to be seen but is very questionable.
As long as Nintendo gives them the creative freedom they deserve, I'm for it.

This'll be fantastic. Not really a fan of the character bayo, but the enemy design is fantastic, and the graphics looked killer for a 60fps game on the original. This'll be a great technical showcase for the Wii U.
Maybe under direct management and marketing from Nintendo their games will sell well. I mean what Nintendo did with Retro was amazing.
Better than living in constant fear that their next game would bankrupt them. So, I wouldn't mind.
I begged for that way before the annoucement of a partnership.
Partnership is better.
Pg staff will beg to work on humpfier tech in a few years. I don't see Nintendo ever returning to the arms race.
Interesting scenario is PG gets financially better after the Konami/Nintendo deals, launches a successful new IP on PS720, yet comes back to WiiU for Bayo 3 late in the cycle, or for WiiU's successor.
I'm not betting on PG doing a Nintendo IP this gen.
From the look of it Kojima Prod offered them quite some space yet it wasn't always rosy.
Can't fathom Nintendo being easier to work with.
Would PG license their WiiU engine so that Nintendo can offer 1st/2nd party studios an easy path to building action games for their console?
Wii showed that RPGs can do good on aging hardware, I believe WiiU's hardware is strong enough to satisfy action gamers needs for the few coming years. especially if the WiiUmote proves to bring something to the table. "You want to touch me"

It would greatly improve Nintendo's image with the "core" croud, regardless of sales of the games, that reason alone should be enough to entice N to do it

NG3: RE doesn't appeal to you at all? Have you even looked at whats on/will be on the WiiU before making this rant? Honest questions, I like to separate the ones who bitch for the sake of fanboyism, over those with actual complaints.

The arrangement they have now is better for everyone involved.
Kamiya, Inaba, etc. don't like having a strong corporate overlords dictating their every move and that is exactly what Nintendo is known for with their direct subsidiaries. They go in and micromanage every thing. There's stories of Retro, having proven themselves with three huge and critically loved games, having to speak to producers at Nintendo late at night via webcam to touch base every day on DKCR.
If Nintendo bought Platinum and everyone just left Platinum, they'd be left with nothing of value. If they bought Platinum and locked them in for years, they'd be unhappy and their output would suffer.
Either Platinum has to become happy working under a corporate structure that doesn't trust them to be independent or Nintendo has to change their culture to allow a developer like Platinum to thrive.
Or, you know, they could keep doing contract work for a company that needs their brand of credibility.
How do they work with Monolith Soft? I think Retro wouldn't be as good of an example due to the fact that they were involved with 2 pretty big IPs (Metroid, Donkey Kong Country). Monolith Soft has 3 teams, which Platinum has also, and they are based in Japan.
I'm not saying buying Platinum would be a good thing, I think their current partnership is good, but I'm inclined to believe they would do something similar to how they work with Monolith Soft.

wasn't metro created by nintendo itself?
and anyway,nintendo changed metro heavily since its foundation...before it was a less productive team

Ehh, that kind of stuff turned me off too. I got it an year later for super cheap after people saying it's a great action game, but the forced sexiness was just weird.

Agreed, although nintendo's complete micromanagement seems much less for their japanese subsidiaries like Monolith

At the end of the day this is a good thing IMO. Because DKCR was an amazing game, and Retro is now likely entrusted with a new IP. Nintendo is probably a very strict, involved friend but in the long term they are certainly loyal which is great IMO.

Curious. How was Nintendo's relationship with Retro Studios?
So much of the stuff that Kamiya has spearheaded will have trouble coming back to light because the rights belong to someone else. Everybody is excited for the next Zelda when I just want another Okami, which I'll probably never get.

That'd be weird if Bayonetta started offing her source of power
Like I think she's contractually obligated to kill angels lol
So I'm not sure how that'd work, let alone why
Maybe that sage in the trailer was a possible playable character whom we might take on Inferno with.

Where is this image from? I've seen it before so many times but never knew where it came from.
Yeah probably. They could just want to make a bigger deal about the reveal of her new design than this type of video.
It's exciting though
What if we also get to play as a Lumen Sage?
Also, that image was posted on platinum's official blog, I believe.

Don't think they went independent just to end up working under another big company again

Bayonetta is half-witch, half-sage.
Maybe she's decided to try awakening her sage powers.

NG3:RE is still fundamentally a broken game, by the very fact it is built upon NG3.
You are also kidding yourself if you don't think that it will be ported in someway to the HD twins/ Next gen sony and microsoft consoles. Its Hayashi's and Temcos bread and butter at this point.
Probably the main reason why they haven't announced rachel for RE yet. She is being saved for the sigma release.
As for look yes I am well aware of what is currently available on the system and what is in the pipeline. I am just not interested in most nintendo first party titles (although a new metriod prime could sway me).
There is just nothing that so far could make me buy the system in any kind of a timely fashion. My needs as of now are best served elsewhere, apart from this one game. I will not bitch its exclusive to the wii U because I greatly prefer it on the WiiU than non-existant, but im not going to buy the console for this one game. If Nintendo do buy platinum however, my hand will be forced, but honestly I hope that never happens, simply because that rules out possible PC versions of their amazing games.

I just realized, regardless of whether or not this witch is Bayonetta, she doesn't let the hair hang off of her sleeves. I kinda liked that.
Here's hoping Light Speed is the next Zero Shift.

Yeah she has actual sleeves now. Maybe she's no longer wearing her hair as a suit. Or atleast this character doesn't if it's not her.
Haha yeah
It'd be neat if it sped you up in real time rather than slowing everything down, to contrast it to Witch Time

Which La Roux song will they use for marketing this time I wonder
It wouldn't surprise me if part of that has to do with Monolith not only working on new IPs, but having a long history of output before they were even bought.
Whereas the micromanagement with Retro might have to do with them working on historic Nintendo IPs (Metroid, Donkey Kong) and remnants of when Nintendo first bought Retro for MP1 and had to go in and scrap a whole lot of titles they were working on because they weren't up to snuff.

This never bugged me, but maybe it's because the whole plotline is so forced and out there that it just fit blindly into place for me.
I honestly can forgive anyone who was turned off by the presentation thinking any old negative thing about the game. It's one of those games you might go into thinking it's one thing until you've put 5 or 6 hours into it in one sitting and realize it's something else.
I like the cut of your jib.
I'd only want it to happen for the lols
but seriously, it'd be terrible. PG needs freedom.
What if we also get to play as a Lumen Sage?
That would be a dream come true. Although I still wonder how a Lumen Sage would still exist in the modern world, considering they're supposed to be all dead...

I thought it hit over a million units on each system or something like that? Well, if that is the case, I am a little worried about the numbers for Bayonetta 2 then since I think action games such as Bayonetta appeal more to PS3 and X360 owners.

Chû Totoro;46839429 said:The franchise could be dead by now if Nintendo wasn't pushing it on their system. Why don't all the Bayonetta fans are happy about this? I agree that if you're sure you won't like any of the other Wii U games it could be expensive for just one game but Wii U is clearly not the Wii and it will get way more multiplat games.
Also even if this is bad in you point of view, stop crying :
"they took our game"
Speaking about the video, the bridge / metro area seems interesting. I really want to see gameplay with different parts of the game and new moves !
I guess it's like Silent Hill going exclusive to the new Steambox system and gamers who already invested so many hours and money into their system and games of choice will have to go out and buy a new system to experience that one game. I am glad that the franchise is still alive and it is one of my favorite games of all time, but I can understand the disappointment from fans because most of the previous owners will not get to play it unless they spend a lot of money. I was extremely disappointed when Valkyria Chronicles 2 was announced for PSP, but what can you do? Hopefully, we will see more sequels to Bayonetta in the future. It is so good.

Then why isn't everyone up-in-arms about every next-gen exclusive game at the start of a generation? What if Bayonetta 2 had been Durangorbis exclusive, do you honestly think the vehement reaction this game's announcement received would be the same?
Rhazer Fusion
Member
We would probably see similar reactions I think. If Bayonetta 2 was announced for a next generation console such as PS4, there would be a relatively high chance that the people who had no interest in the PS4 and were planning on procuring an X720 for Halo 5 and Gears of War 5 would be disappointed. Remember the reaction from fans when Virtua Fighter 4 went exclusive to Playstation 2? Yeah, it was pretty ugly.

I just play games
If I have to buy new hardware to play the games I want, well, sucks, but I own a Vita, so clearly I have no scruples.
No one ever said getting everything you want was inexpensive.

What I mean is, if this was a next gen Sony/Microsoft game (both, not one) would people be as annoyed and have reacted as such, despite the cost? A large part of the reaction was the assumption that this would be the only game ever worth playing for certain people on Wii U, in my opinion.
