how is it trolling?
Just think it's funny the drumbeat of "gfx dont matter" in some circles, when we all know what we're supposed to think about that tweet, And it aint the gameplay.
But anyways move on, people's lack of respect for gfx is my own little pet peeve.
maybe he's not talking about graphics, people was excited watching the metal gear rising trailers and the graphics weren't really that hot

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
He's talking about the tripled poly count on Bayonetta's arse.
How do you know he wasn't awestruck by some gameplay innovation?
I think graphics do matter a fair bit anyway. First Bayo looked great, it added to the enjoyment.

A more detailed arse you say? I'm sold.
I'm sure Bayo2 looks fantastic, as per that inside tweet, but why do people immediately think, "This must refer to the graphics." What comes to mind for me is, "Bayo2 probably blew him away with the sheer variety and unbridled creativity of its different scenarios." Watch the trailers for Bayo1 and that is what makes an impression: Not so much the visuals, but seeing something like a giant inverted angel face with dragons coming of its chin, and Bayonetta suplexing said angel/dragon, and so on. Just sheer straight-up unadulterated over-the-top awesome.

Oh christ is this the ridiculous avatar i now have to stare at when im reading your slanty posts?
By the way, there are a ton of games that show the Wii U edge if you are a gamer and not a gamer.
Are you still going to go on and on about it even though the actual stance is that graphics dont matter "that much" and not "at all"?
You are hearing what you want.
I would like to see a Bayo2 trailer dropped before the WiiU launch to spike hype for the core, but more realistically they will save it for a post-launch lull... Those are the best-case scenarios. Based on past precedent, saving any footage for E3 2013 would be the only "safe" bet.
Yeah my jaw was on the floor after seeing the Guide Video, some of those combos are just insane!

I would like to know how far this game was when Nintendo came in... and how long will it be before a Demo... putting it with Wonderful 101 would be a smart move

"Respect graphics" Are you fucking kidding me? No I respect great games and if the developers can make awesome worlds without cutting edge graphics. I respect Square's DS/PSP output more than anything they've released on consoles.

It was actually probably the spectacle.
Bayonetta's graphics have never been amazing, but the things you were doing were always turned to 11.
But specialguy is psychic so clearly we should cede to him.

Nibel. Tell me that you're ok.
I wouldn't get too riled about about some of the people in this thread. They probably just don't know better.
It's just that some posts are special and some are not :lol
Seriously, why talk about the visuals when the tweet doesn't really say much about them? Alberto said it more eloquently than me

Will I be penalised if I disrespect graphics? :'(
As he should be. :lol
But seriously, I just really want to see where they go with this second game. The overall gameplay. The combat mechanics. The possible new (playable?) rival character. And dammit, the deliciously over-the-top crackpot storyline.
I mean, really, when your protagonist's storyline culminates in her going all Shin Megami Tensei and
kicking God's ass into the fucking sun
E3?
I'd honestly expect something at a future Nintendo Direct over E3, given how much regard Ninty gives E3 here lately...
I would assume that it's time to kick some ass on the other side of the spectrum. She doesn't have any particular loyalty towards Hell and it wouldn't take much to figure out a script where she gets betrayed.

DAT TESSELATION^^
Here are the things I hope they fix in Bayonette 2:
- No crappy vehicule stages or at least make them fun and polished.
- The huge boss fights were not particularly interesting to fight. Fighting Jeanne was more fun.
- Make the flow between levels faster or almost invisible like Uncharted.
- Improve the way the story is told. The static cut-scenes were crap/cheap. Make them short and have the same look as the ingame graphics. No crappy compression.

I hope there are no more backtracking for Alfheim, add more depths to stuff like parrying/butterflies/torture attacks and make each of them more unique to use. I wouldn't mind some kind of style system like DMC3.
I found some of the big boss fights really boring in bayonetta to be honest, less of those "attack 5 weakpoints to get to the next phase" stuff.
Verses should be longer or at least have less cutscenes inbetween them, it was bizarre how you could beat a verse in a minute on normal and the cutscene lasts equally as long if not longer than that.
No more cutscene QTEs. Godhand-esque reaction/counter ones are perfectly fine, keep those.

Don't mind him. He erroneously assumes that because some people (I presume he refers to Nintendo fans) don't believe graphics are a huge focus, they should not be allowed to think any game looks good graphically.

uhhhhhhhh.....
I like stage select personally. and I'm cautious of the phrase "make it like uncharted" by nature I guess.
My biggest problems with Bayo1 were being able to see where they got thrifty. The film strip cutscenes(though it worked out as a neat stylistic choice in the end) and stages entirely comprised of recycled assets were the biggest offenders to me.

Behold. Someone who has evidently not played or seen any footage of Bayonetta.
The graphics weren't the most jawdropping thing about the original, by a long shot.

If Bayonetta 2 is anything like the original, he probably wasn't.
Anything like the original on PS3 maybe... it was gorgeous on Xbox.
Now with more powerful hardware and Nintendo backing it financially it could be one of the best looking and playing games ever created.
You want to increase 101's rating to an 18?
they could give you a download code or something thar verifies you parental controls settins I dunno but a demo with the game migth actually rise the sales
Dat Wii u,
so hot right now.
I didn't even see this tweet wow!
As I said,
I'd imagine with Nintendo backing this game financially it could be one of the best looking and playing games ever.

Only gaf can spin an excited and enthusiastic tweet into something tiresome to argue about.
I don't know why but just knowing there's a playable build running gets me pumped.
Hope we get to see it before the new year
My dude! I've been thinking the same thing
I'm excited at the prospect of it being optimized on the most powerful existing console.
Expecting the performance to be higher than anything that could be achieved while attempting to maintain port parity on a multiplatform release.

Whereas I'd take that as gameplay myself, since that's what Platinum does best.
Kind of like how Metal Gear Rising doesn't look jaw dropping or anything but the in game footage still wowed everyone because of what was being done.
The seamless of the first walk-through doesn't exclude a chapter select screen.
I think the total result screen, then the shooting minigame and then the map/puppet screen were a bit too much.

you mean the end credits or the final chapter to epilogue?
Cus it felt the last few chapters felt amazing for me.
angel attack is by far the worse part of the game.
