Bayonetta was considered for Project X Zone 2 but Kamiya said no(now he regrets it).

Why would they?

That's a shame. Totally would've gotten it just for her.
They have the rights to the IP? But they probably let Platinum/Kamiya have the final say in it anyways.
They might respect Kamiya enough to let him have a say.

I think he wanted to direct a Bayonetta/DMC crossover himself in one of his tweets.

I know that. Why would they stop her being in the game?
Kamiya is talking as if Bayonetta is his property.
Apparently, they either have a clause that says they need PG's agreement for using the character or they simply respect the creator's opinion. *shrug*
I'd rather have Itsuno and Capcom's DMC3/4 team tackle a Bayonetta/DMC crossover, to be honest
Maybe he's talking about it like that because it is essentially? Sure Sega has final say, but as creator maybe he has more say than we think.
Maybe the devolpers would only do it with his blessing

Kamiya, what the fuck!
I would say the latter, Sega doesn't give a fuck about Bayonetta (see: Bayonetta 2).

He was saying the opposite, i.e. they could overrule his decision. They probably left the final decision to him out of respect, though.
There's a difference between not giving a fuck and not financing out of your pocket the sequel to a game that didn't sell as much as expected. Companies are not NGOs, people.
first game was fun as hell. haven't played the second yet.
First game is legit, to all you nerds who would have gotten the game just for her buy it anyway since these games are great
SEGA tends to let the original creator for characters make decisions for said characters instead of just taking control of it all themselves. I remember for SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed Steve Lycett talked about meeting with the creators of each character to okay their inclusion/how they planned to use them. I think this also blocked Phantasy Star/Ristar/Shining Force from appearing in the SEGA/Capcom crossover in the Archie comics.

Would have been dope, Bayonetta fits perfectly amongst the current cast of characters

Bayonetta has been cockblocked.
The localisation and story pacing has gone up several levels from the first and the stages are a lot shorter, at least for ~65% of the game
It's not a good game, but if you have any interest in an incredible cross-over of a huge amount of characters from three huge Japanese companies (plus Fire Emblem and Xenoblade Chronicles) then it's worth picking up just to experience the madness of them interacting and the awesome battle animations, even if you don't finish it due to the repetition.
Think there's a demo on the e-shop if you want to give it a try.
It's not unusual for the developers of certain titles to have to "sign off" on and okay cameo appearances, even for titles made by their own company. For example, the MH team vetoed the idea of a MH monster like Rathalos appearing in MvC3, and the DMC team only said yes to DMC characters in MvC3 if Trish was playable.

I would've paid good money to see a Dante/Bayonetta team attack.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
God damn the missed potential.
The Morrigan x Bayonetta flirting? My body would not have been ready

Eh, why would you ever say no to things like these? Selfish.
Yeah, maybe in 6 years...

That would have pushed it from a maybe purchase to a definitely purchase for me.

I damn sure understand his ultimate reasoning and Dante & Bayo crossing paths deserves more than Project X Zone could ever provide such an event.
At least he knows now and maybe before whatever comes next he gets the opportunity to do what he wants. Kamiya at least deserves that much.

Probably when creating the first game, Kamiya made sure to have power over the directions "his" IPs can take in order to never experience again the nightmare of never working on a sequel or project involving them

Why would you ever say no? "This game doesn't impact me in anyway and gives my creation more visibility with other iconic characters". nah I don't need that shit. At least he regrets it.

This breaks my heart
Poor Kamiya.
Why not both Itsuno and Kamiya?
Itsuno's team are familiar with making half a game anyway.
that's still weird...it's not like this type of game would take away from a legitimate Bayo and Dante one.
This breaks my heart
Poor Kamiya.
Poor Kamiya how?
It's too bad, Bayo and Dante as a team would've been fun.
Possibly the best reason I've seen for a decision like this. Just imagining it, I'm sure it will probably be the best game that never gets created.
We'll have to settle for Project X Zone 3, I guess.
I'm okay with this.

They seem to slip down the hill but made some decent stuff in the past.
