I'm embarrassed to say I've never played Bayonetta despite always being interested in it. I've heard the PS3 version had issues (or was it the 360 version?), and I don't have a 360, so is the PS3 version playable?

Bayonetta has new hairstyle in Bayonetta 2 (new trailer)

In favor of setting Muslim women on fire
it is playable, but graphics are worst then 360 and framerate dips time to time.

Hmm that's disappointing. Would you say it's still worth the 20 Euro investment?

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Its still one of, if not the greatest action game ever. The game just has a lower framerate and muddier textures but still completely playable. Even with the inferior PS3 port, it still has a higher framerate than the majority of games this gen.

If you avoided such a great game, arguably the best in its genre based on character design your opinion doesnt mean shit to me. sorry.

If its your only way of playing it I'd say its worth it. Like he said its fully playable but there is an obvious gulf between the 360 and PS3 version. I'm still hoping for a Bayonetta: Climax Edition for Eshop though.

He's totally right though.

Well I'm convinced! Will pick up Bayonetta and Vanquish and get my Platinum on. I've been ignoring them for too long.

My impression of the first game was coloured by the PS3 demo and it didn't click for me so I passed on it. I wasn't hyped for this game at all until I saw this demo for it. Damn, it looks crazy! Definitely on the U list for next year with Mario Kart & X.

Sure why not.
I played it on 360. Don't assume it's some flawless experience there either, because it experiences framedrops too.
By all accounts it's apparently worse on PS3 though.

As dumb as I think the posts complaining about WHERE IS HER HAIR COMING FROM NOW are
I think ThoughtsofSpeaking proposing that nothing matters but gameplay and dismissing everything else as "fluff" is equally annoying.
Hey it's cool you're all about serious gameplay or whatever, but there's no need to be condescending towards people that enjoy the other aspects and want to discuss them.
I mean there's not much else to talk about at the moment as we can't play. and I'm pretty sure Platinum wants people to react to the new look

I wanna know who the Yugioh kid is and why the trailer ended with him.

I have no problem with people discussing her hair. I do find it embrassing that this is a 12 page thread and the thread showing gameplay is barely 6 pages.
Even worse, the thread has videos explaining the new mechanics.
It just sends the wrong message what is important in an action game and what isnt. No wonder people used think that the criticism of DmC started and ended on the fact Dantes hair wasnt white.
So bizarre.

Someone mentioned asymmetric gameplay in another thread. Was local co-op story mode confirmed?

Vigrid goes through hiphop era.
Something else interesting is the ranking coins.
Rodin is still gold and Bayo is still Platinum, but silver is no longer Luka and obviously Bronze isn't Cereza
I can't make out details but I think that character in the trailer might be one of the coins
Co-op was confirmed(and Jeanne being playable in it was hinted at) but I don't believe it was specified whether it was local or online. but with Wii-U's focus as a platform being on local play I think it's safe to assume it'll be an option for it.
and I think it's been said from multiple sources that it was separate from the single player but there's not enough concrete info to know for sure.

It is very playable
Still had a blast even with drops, which didnt matter cause I was still kicking @$$ with her
...but then again I never played the 360 version, so ignorance is bliss

I played it on 360 first.
Then got it on PS3 when it came out digitally for trophies
and still had fun pouring another 30-40 hours into it
but I might be a bit biased I guess

The game looks great. It's even more crazy, violent, and sexy than the original.
The short hair is growing on me, but I'm not sure about the blue pieces of the costume, the wings made out of hair, and the white gloves with huge ruffles also look dumb. She almost looks like she should be fighting alongside the Joker with Harley Quinn. I also don't think the glasses look good with the new hair and costume. Then there's all the 8 point stars hanging off her. It all looks very gaudy, but I guess that's what they're going for with pretty much everything in the game. The first game had a lot of Gaudi inspired environments. I still don't really like it. She used to look badass and now I think she kind of looks like a clown.

People exaggerate way to much, my experience was so fresh and exciting that I barley noticed any FPS problems and the graphics was fine. I would pay £100 if I had to.
What?

I think it's because her hair is slightly divisive and provokes an immediate reaction from people, good or bad. People comment, and then people flock to the thread with more comments. It's also something that any action game person can understand and digest.
Some people like it and some people don't. Everyone likes the gameplay, so there's less reason to yell at people in that thread.

So is the Y button just for context sensitive actions now? I used the old shoot button pretty often when I played.
You must be new.

I hope not. I hate it when games have dead face buttons.
but yeah Kamiya even acknowledged in the commentaries how useless that button ended up being in the original
Hopefully they can find something to use it for.
How much have you used it? It's surprisingly awesome once you get used to it.

I was thinking that but in the gameplay videos you can see her cancelling into shots quite often.I guess the button is still a shoot button in combat but it also initates other things. Ive also seen dodge ofset once or twice but i havent seen shots continuing when the button is held down.
I wish somebody would do a proper Q&A on the combat system.

Really liked the first one, but still not enough for me to purchase the console. Shame.
You need the Game Pad to at least start up the system and select a game, but once you're in a game you can use whatever controllers are supported. I'm 1000% positive this game will support the Pro Controller.
