60fps people. It looks better than 99% of this gen by default.

No matter how fugly the enemies are.

Uhmm no. Framerate does not equal ownage 'IF' dear friend the graphics do not keep up.

Aliasing wasn't a problem when I saw the game last year at the GDC. The lighting sucked though, and I didn't make a lot of friends when I said it last year here ;)

Blimblim keeps it real. :D I downloaded the trailer off of PSN and I think the game looks great in motion. Some sacrifices are to be made if the game is gonna be running at 60fps. Looks nice to me though. *shrug*

Those glasses give me wood for some reason.
 
Graphically, it's mediocre and its art direction is atrocious but proper gameplay would definitely wipe all of that away :D

This game, honestly, looks like shit.

Wasn't this being hyped up the ass a few months back?
Click to expand...
Sure was. It has pedigree, if nothing else.

I think it'll be pretty good, if not great.
 
Neither the lighting nor the art direction (so far) are all that good or polished, but I want to see what it's going to turn like. Although this is pretty much what I said earlier in this thread, I expected that someone had bumped it for a good reason as there should be news soon.

This game is the sole reason I'm hanging on to my 360.

It's not exclusive to 360 if that's a concern.

I'd say it's more a testament to how something like anti-aliasing swings the opinion here at GAF. I'm sure that if all these screenshots had AA, everybody who is saying the game looks terrible would instead be saying the complete opposite.

No amount of AA saves this screenshot. None.

I'm going to give the devs the benefit of the doubt since their collective works are fuck awesome but GOOD GOD that is a terrible shot.
 
jesus this thread is filled with bitches.

looks fine for the scope of things happening. If the animation is rocksolid it will look amazing in motion especially if it hits 60fps. if the game ends up being 60fps and true 720p fuck the haters.
 
I predict... that when this game comes out people won't be bitching about the graphics. We already know that it looks fine in motion, so everybody chill out!

Personally, I think this might turn out as the action game of the generation.
 
You are bunch of crybabies, it´s 60 FPS action game by Hideki "masterofthefuckingactiongames" Kamiya, that warranties awesomeness even if it was a damned Atari 2600 game. Don´t you have some UE clone with space marines to drool over?

And Bayonetta rocks.
 
I have total faith in Kamiya, but I'm not going to lie, a part of me wishes that this game was being built on Capcom's shiny MT Framework engine.
 
Seriously, this is just a chick DMC, looks like nothing changed. She has like a devil arm (in the screen punching), then a big statue is attacking. Come on, it looks nice but still.

This multiplatform game looks like a multiplatform game. Some screens look like some multiplatform shit.

RE5 says hi.
 
I have to agree that Bayonetta's character design isn't very attractive and the close up screen shots of the action don't do much to impress. On the bright side, the gameplay does look fun and the bosses seem pretty cool. Honestly though, I'll be interested in pretty much any title developed by Platinum Games. However, I didn't enjoy the Devil May Cry games.

By the way, if you look closely behind the necks of the angel enemies, you'll see a humanoid-face.
 
They shouldn't release screenshots of this game (they're not doing it any favors). Video only. Fingers still crossed for it though.

DMC3:SE was the best action game of last gen and DMC4 was a great action game, GAF assplodes on the hate for DMC4 simply because it's not as good as DMC3 (which it's not, granted), but it was still a critically well received game (85%). On that note, it's the highest reviewed next-gen action game, considering Heavenly Sword and Ninja Gaiden II were reviewed lower. DMC4 also succeeds at being an accessible action title, something none of the previous DMC's were, nor any of the Ninja Gaidens.

Uh no. RE4 was the best action game of last gen. Best action beat-em-up was God Hand.

I love the fact that you say DMC4 is better than Ninja Gaiden 2 because it outscored it by 1 point on Game Rankings. But then say DMC3:SE was the best action game last gen when NGB outscores it by 10 points on there.
 
There's no question about it, the screens look terrible, but, this game, like many, might look great in motion. Screen grabs never really represent the game's quality.

EDIT: :lol @ people saying DMC3:SE was better than NG:B. Just ridiculous.
 
Everyone knows this game is going to be awesome. The gameplay is going to be awesome and the character will most likely be awesome. he game looks over-the-top and maniacal. I bet the game will be phenomenal and look really good when it is completed. Also, it is 60fps. A rarity for this generation.
 
I just watched the trailer from PSN again, it looks insane on the trailer and horrific in these stills. This is the first 'two-face' game.
 
so when do we get to play with this bitch?

Opinion. I also think everything about DMC3 is better then NG:B minus graphics.
 
Looks better than most of the shit we have today on top of moving at 60fps. The only thing that matters is how it looks in motion, because last time i checked, we didnt actually play screen shots...unless you play games with stuttering framerates. I guess screen shot quality would matter to you then then :lol

I love it, and I want it.
 
The screenshots don't actually look that bad. It's weird that people are so accustomed to bull-shots generated on a computer with 8xAA that seeing normal screen captures of gameplay (I assume that's what these are) makes them cringe. I think it'll look fine in motion.

Try looking up close at textures in games like Bioshock, the graphics don't look that good if you stare at them, but they look great in motion.

You do know how prettied-up all of the RE5 screens were, right? Not to say the final product doesn't look good, but the point is that showing 1/60th of a second's worth of what is on the screen in Bayonetta can't be expected to have tons of anti-aliasing. I don't think most people realize how difficult it is to perform high anti-aliasing like what we see in FFXIII and RE5 bull-shots.
