From the first post on the developer's blog for the game:
http://videos.videopress.com/ebOzQphn/e3-2014-60fps_hd.mp4
It also shows the Bayonetta 1 Wii U port running at 60 FPS. I can't wait! Also, the official site for Bayonetta 2 is open.

That buttery 60fps exclusive next gen goodness that can be played on gamepad.

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Flock off, feather-face!

I still don't believe it'll be free of framerate drops during combat, though. W101 had lots of issues with that, as did the 360 version of Bayo 1. Still, as long as it's better than the PS3 disaster, I'll be happy enough.

 

[Jezan]

The difference between 30fps and 60fps can be seen here. Cutscenes run at 30fps and then we get 60fps battle goodness.

Thank you!

 

[ohblahitsme]

Watching the touch screen controls in the treehouse preview made me so excited for this! I have no idea why.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

The song on the Bayonetta 2 site is soooooo good

Platinum has yet to release a game that didn't have frame drops. I guess we'll see if this is a first!

I was legit shocked, personally.

 

[Thoraxes]

Holy shit!

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

4:30 AM and I'm watching this from the restroom hoping it will emulate my future glorious experiences with Off TV Play.

 

[Namikaze]

Looks amazing. Love that commitment to 60FPS.

 

[Shinta]

Bayonetta's voice actress in part 2 sounds significantly worse. I doubt it's the same person.

Game looks amazing though. Can't wait.

Didn't see that part, were they mandatory touch controls or did they say if you could disable them?

 

[hughesta]

Totally optional.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

i wish i liked Platinum games..

vanquish was pretty awesome though

This is a Nintendo series now though

 

[popyea]

Just thinking about it, do any other developers credit their leads at the end of trailers?

 

[Lyonaz]

Bayonetta sounds normal, it's the lil kid who sounds annoying.

-Edit- That Bayonetta 2 theme - Tomorrow is mine is fantastic.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Bayonetta sounds normal, it's the lil kid who sounds annoying.

The little kid sounds normal, it's the dragon thing who sounds annoying.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Even my brother got confused between Bayonetta's voice and the kid's

 

[Shinta]

This is a Nintendo series now though

Sega still owns the IP I think.

I noticed that too. Much deeper.

 

[Hypron]

So was The Wonderful 101 and that game's framerate dropped.

 

[Liamario]

New voice artist?

 

[dreamfall]

Mmmmhmmmmm! So smooth!

 

[TreIII]

-Edit- That Bayonetta 2 theme - Tomorrow is mine is fantastic.

Mmmmmf~

Looks like they're going to get me all over again. Bayo1's take on "Fly Me To The Moon" stayed in my head for days at a time, and now this one's doing so already.

 

[Veelk]

The little kid sounds normal, it's the dragon thing who sounds annoying.

The dragon sounds normal, it's the lumen sage that sounds annoying.

 

[DigitalDevilSummoner]

Still, as long as it's better than the PS3 disaster, I'll be happy enough.

It looks good no doubt but a game like this, I'd rather play with the dualshock. The lack of a good gamepad for the wiiu is a still a barrier for me.

 

[UltraGunner]

So was The Wonderful 101 and that game's framerate dropped.

I legitimately did not know that game was supposed to be 60 fps until I played one of the secret missions. It was struggling to maintain 30 fps in some parts.

 

[CadetMahoney]

60+ fps > your fave framerate.

 

[hughesta]

The Pro controller is amazing.

Some of the Prince Vorkken battles were INSANE, especially if you had Hero Time. I mean, it had at least 200 discreet if simplified units running around on-screen at once, possibly more, plus the crazy background effects, but still - at one point today it was going so slow-mo I thought I got caught in an enemy bomb

 

[Hypron]

The Pro controller is amazing.

It's good (feels good in your hands, light, insane battery life) but for action games like this I'd much rather have the buttons above the left stick. There are lots of ways to quickly adjust the camera while still being able to press buttons when the stick is below the buttons, but those methods don't really work with a stick layout like the Wii-U's.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Heh? The Wonderful 101 has pretty much the same feel and that game was a breeze on the tablet gamepad. Plus there's the Pro Controller if you really need a traditional scheme.

 

[Auto-Reply]

New voice artist?

I don't know... sounds the same tbh.... but there is nothing on her website saying she was working on 2 so who knows.

The Wii U Pro Controller is probably my favorite of all time. I'm only sad that I won't get to play Katamari on it. Actually, scratch that, the Mayflash adapter also works for PS3.

I'm just impressed that they added a Japanese dub to the original Bayonetta and are including it in the package. That's attention to detail I can get behind.

 

[johnsavage]

I both love and hate how Bayonetta 1 is packaged with Bayonetta 2. I want to start Bayonetta 2 right away but I want to relive Bayonetta 1 in glorious 60fps.

 

[wmlk]

Is the retail version really 60fps?

 

[Mr. Bamboo]

Wow... that's moistening!

 

[Satch]

Is the retail version really 60fps?

girl, YES!!!!!!!!!


SHES COMING!!!!

 

[Windom Earle]

OMG, so good. Game is gorgeous.

I don't know... sounds the same tbh.... but there is nothing on her website saying she was working on 2 so who knows.

I think the Platinum employee who regularly posts here confirmed it's the same actress. Some of the lines in the trailer do sound a bit out of character though.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

"Flock off, featherface" is such a heart-warming callback to Devil May Cry 1. Loved it.

 

[Mr. Bubble]

-Edit- That Bayonetta 2 theme - Tomorrow is mine is fantastic.

Oh my god, I loved this song when I heard it in the trailer even though it was only a 30 second segment. I can't believe I get to hear the full version so early!

 

[Net_Wrecker]

It still sounds like Bayonetta to me, and I have no issues recognizing her voice vs. the kid.

-Edit- That Bayonetta 2 theme - Tomorrow is mine is fantastic.

They done done it again. It's soooo Bayonetta.

 

[Lyonaz]

I think there is one instance in the trailer where you hear the kid but it has Bayonetta moving her lips, I think that's what is making people confused on the voice.

 

[Hypron]

They done done it again. It's soooo Bayonetta.

Yeah that's pretty much the best way of describing this song. It just screams Bayonetta.

 

[Phazon]

Bayonetta sounds normal, it's the lil kid who sounds annoying.

-Edit- That Bayonetta 2 theme - Tomorrow is mine is fantastic.

Based Platinum. This sounds amazing and indeed sooooo Bayonetta

October is going to be a great month ^^

You're crazy Wii U controllers are fantastic. As a Division 1 Fifa player I can tell you with some level of expertise its analog sticks are precise as fuck, a league beyond the DS3 you played Bayonetta on.

 

[Frodo]

I've been listening to 'Tomorrow is Mine' since the website launched. Love it. It hypes myself. I can see myself kicking angels in the butt in glorious 60fps. And I thought they wouldn't be able to reach the same greatness of Fly me to the Moon. But they just delivered and it is also a original theme.
My biggest question, though, is: will I re-play Bayonetta first (played it on the PS3) or will I play Bayonetta 2? So many questions.

Edit: slightly disappointed that EatChildren is in the thread and didn't post any Bayonetta 2 gifs.

 

[T.O.P]

How is she so awesome? <3


Gimme dat WiiU bundle Nintendo ffs
