Like buses, you wait ages for a third-person arcade hack and slash starring a sexy female badass to come along and then two come at once...

There are a lot of factors at play in terms of release, locality, name recognition, and much more, but now we've seen the trailers, which of the two games do you think will be more successful? Which would you be more interested to play?

Make your prediction and cast your vote!

 

[Banjo64]

Bayonetta 3 is a 5 million seller. Eve will probably sell a million or 2.

 

[AV]

Bayo, is it really even a contest? Long awaited sequel in 12 year old franchise vs. new unknown quantity.

 

[DonJorginho]

Bayonetta 3 obviously, Nintendo Switch exclusive and the long awaited instalment in a beloved franchise.

 

[sublimit]

In terms of sales? Neither.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Solid IP vs newcomer. Come on OP, surely everyone knows what's the answer right now.

 

[Aldric]

I don't think there's an audience left on Playstation for spectacular action games featuring attractive women so I doubt Project Eve will sell even a million, PC will rescue it from bombing though.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Ok Project Eve looks better than most of these other asian unreal projects but come on

 

[Mister Wolf]

Project Eve by a mile especially if it gets a day one PC release. Appeals to people who like graphics, people who like sexy character designs, or people who just like action games.

 

[Matt_Fox]

I think the newcomer vs existing IP makes it an interesting discussion point.

I also think the Korean factor of Project Eve could potentially come into play and blindside a few people. I don't know a huge amount about the Korean gaming market but I do know that when a game goes big there it goes REALLY BIG.

 

[DeltaPolarBear]

In terms of sales? Neither.

In particular, Bayo will always remain a niche title. But it was also a niche that Nintendo couldn't fill on their own, so it was convenient to pay Platinum for making it. Sometimes you just need a game to exist for a purpose, it doesn't need to be a blockbuster.

 

[Banjo64]

Bayonetta 3 is a new game? Those PS2 graphics made me think it's a re-release. I genuinely thought this.

Game play over graphics any day of the week. Rather play Bayo than something beautiful but boring like The Order or Ryse.

 

[TheTony316]

I don't think there's an audience left on Playstation for spectacular action games featuring attractive women so I doubt Project Eve will sell even a million, PC will rescue it from bombing though.

That's just not true.

 

[GymWolf]

Bayo3, how is that even a question?!

But i'm more interested in eve personally.

 

[Black_Stride]

Were gonna forget P.Eve is coming out by this time next year.

 

[Mabdia]

Hmm... I think that the one that can be played at PS4/5 and PC will sell more. I might be wrong. But Bayo being a exclusive to Switch might hurt it sales wise.

But Bayo might be a better game. But I have to say it. Bayonetta looks really strange when it comes character design (mostly outfits).

 

[Aion002]

Old successful ip from a fan favorite dev funded by Nintendo vs New ip, which is the first console game made by the developers?

Still... I am hoping that both are successful, I love this type of game.

 

[DeathFromBelow1122]

Why are we even talking about Project Eve? We know nothing about it. It could be a hit that spawns a franchise with the same renown and sales of Bayonetta or it might be a game that we all forget in a week.

I feel like gamers are so depraved of eye candy nowadays. Just put a hot girl in your game and automatically it's something Gamers are keeping their eye on and already speculating how it would do against titans like bayonetta.

 

[Perfo]

Obviously Bayonetta but we definitely need more nudes in games so I'm supporting Eve over the other one just for the curves.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm already seeing the same polarizing effect with Project Eve and its main character that 2B got when Nier Automata was revealed.

A new look at the stylish action of Project Eve

The adventure begins against mankind’s enemy on a ruined Earth.

Project Eve all day baby

 

[GymWolf]

The polarizing effect at home:

I'm already seeing the same polarizing effect with Project Eve and its main character that 2B got when Nier Automata was revealed.

I am pretty sure anyone complaining about 2B were never going to buy the game anyway.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Project eve is was announced for at least 4 platforms (pc, xb1, ps4, ps5). Even if bayo is an established franchise, it's only launching on the switch.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I am pretty sure anyone complaining about 2B were never going to buy the game anyway.

I'm not talking about the complaining. I'm talking about all the gamers(guys) on Neogaf and youtube talking about how sexy 2B looked(I was one of them). Were you here when Automata was revealed? I'm seeing the same thing with Eve and I'm telling you if the action is quality combined with the attractive character will absolutely translate to sales. High sales. In Sony's blog post they are already talking about how she will have multiple costumes you can equip.

Nah, the game has to be good too. Eyecandy games are not uncommon in Asia, you need good gameplay to push it over the line. i wish them luck with this new IP.

 

[Captain Toad]

Bayonetta 3 obviously. Even if Project Eve is the better game, Bayonetta is an anticipated sequel and has the Switch effect.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Of course the gameplay has to be good. From 2020:

[TrueLegend]

Being only on Nintendo Bayo may sell more but we dont know much about project eve. If it wins GOTY or something it may sell more.

 

[MasterDerico]

I don't know, but i will play both!

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

I don't think there's an audience left on Playstation for spectacular action games featuring attractive women so I doubt Project Eve will sell even a million, PC will rescue it from bombing though.

I understand where you are coming from, but didn’t Neir Automata, Witcher 3, FF7: Remake, MGS5, Cyberpunk 2077, Tekken 7, RE3: Remake and Neir Replicant to name a few sell really well on PlayStation? Call me crazy, but I actually think Project Eve will sell better on PlayStation.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

I’m expecting Bayonetta 3 to sell better due to it having an established fan base already despite it only being on Switch, but isn’t Project Eve on more platforms? Could be close though.

 

[Cornbread78]

Bayonetta 3 is a 5 million seller. Eve will probably sell a million or 2.

5 mil for Bayo 3? Didn't Boyo 2 sales completely tank and Bayo is still not a core IP for Ninty, so.....

 

[hyperbertha]

Tales of arise for sure. Meanwhile can any tales expert please list the names of the characters in this pic:

True. But Switch attachment rate has big dick energy. The Wii U had such laughably small little penis energy that it’s not even a comparison.

 

[dDoc]

Project Eve is multiplat...

 

[SF Kosmo]

Bayonetta, obviously. Established IP, popular character, larger installed base, and likely the better game.

Project EVE looks like a knock off with a boring protag who looks like an NPC/create-a-character, from an unproven Korean developer. No one should be expecting it to go toe to toe with Platinum Games.

 

[MagnesG]

Not fair man, I like to see them both being successful. Even DMCV only sold around 4.5m as of June this year, so at best only 5m for both, with Bayo having more chance of it happening.

I could definitely see both thrive though, hopefully. It's time for people to appreciate hack n slash back.

 

[Rickyiez]

It depends if Project Eve will turn up as a quality game or not . If it is , I can see it being as successful because peoples want next gen and new shiny title .

The thing about Bayo 3 is , it's locked behind Switch .

 

[Black_Stride]

Tales of arise for sure. Meanwhile can any tales expert please list the names of the characters in this pic:

Odd place for this but okay.

Mithos ygg on the left
Artorius center
Dhaos on the right.

 

[Beelzebubs]

Long term, probably Project Eve just because there's a chance it goes multi platform.

 

[Kimahri]

I'd be inclined to say Bayonetta 3, but a lot of people seem to inflate how big this IP is. Keep in mind that Sega wasn't willing to fund a sequel themselves, which is how it ended up a Nintendo-exclusive. Bayonetta 2 sold what, 1 million by the looks of it. Not that much. It was on Wii U, granted, but that doesn't automatically mean it's gonna be a huge success on Switch. It could be, but hard to say.

As for Project Eve, I dunno. Maybe. I guess this is the game that'll show who's right. The "get those sexy girls out of my games" crowd, or the "gimme gimme gimme crowd". I hope it does well, it'll be a nice middle finger to the current trends.

Really depends on marketing momentum. Look what happened to Nier Automata. Huge success out of nowhere.

 

[MaxwellParrish]

Bayonetta 3 is a 5 million seller. Eve will probably sell a million or 2.

Are you joking? Bayonetta 2 sold less than 300.000 copies on WiiU in it's First nine weeks and less than 400.000 when republished on Switch for the same periodo. Doubt that the lifetime Sales are even the double of that.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Bayo is niche.

 

[TLZ]

Eve looked more interesting this time around.

 

[Saber]

I'm praying for Eve sucess, but you simply can't be good in the head to think Eve has any chance against Bayonetta. Bayonetta is basically a running and well franchine at this point.
But I still want Eve to archieve that mile.

 

[oagboghi2]

Bayonetta 3 is a new game? Those PS2 graphics made me think it's a re-release. I genuinely thought this.

You are genuinely an idiot

 

[Black_Stride]

Pretty sure its already been said to be multiplat.
But that doesnt necessarily mean success versus anything the Switch does let alone a known franchise.
It might also fall into the "ohh that game" syndrome where we just forget the game is coming out and/or it launches next to big name titles so the media doesnt cover it enough for us to even remember its out.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I'm praying for Eve sucess, but you simply can't be good in the head to think Eve has any chance against Bayonetta. Bayonetta is basically a running and well franchine at this point.

Bayonetta has been a running consistent flop you mean
