Agreed! I was hoping they would do more moves assigned to the shoot button like in DMC or something. I'm a little surprised to see no lock-on button in the control shot as well.
On the IGN stream they mentioned a two player mode separate from the story mode? I didn't know that there was gonna be multiplayer. Really interested to see what that's all about.

So. Here's the deal. I have a brand new sealed Xbox360 copy of the orginal sitting on a shelf at home. Should I play it, or just way for the second one?
The short hair looks great, and seriously I have a pretty good sized backlog of X360 games. Should I start with Halo 3, GOW1, Bayonetta, Singularity, or Alan Wake?

I'm obviously fishing in the Bayonetta thread for you guys to motivate me to get off my ass and play the first game.
Play it! ASAP.
You still haven't played it? Hand in your gamer badge.

i wanna know what will happen next ?

you already taken down from the first game
The obvious answer is play it now. Bayonetta is leaps and bounds better than any of the other games you mentioned. People aren't being hyperbolic when they say it's the greatest action game ever made.

The rep that demoed the game on Gamespot said "we've got nothing to announce at this time but thats all we can say." Its a possibility that Wii U will get it.

not feeling the short hair at all, but I'm not going to watch the vids, if its awesome, I'll never know what I'll never miss, so the short hair thing ends up being a boon ^__^

Pretty sure this is the/an opening stage.
and based on the extended demos it seems like after Bayonetta summons Gomorrah to finish off the mid boss, it breaks out of her hair as a binding during the summon and manifests itself fully in the human world.
Jeanne pushes her out of the way when Gomorrah attacks Bayonetta off guard shortly afterwards and is presumably killed in the process. (when witches are killed their souls are dragged to Hell/Inferno as the price of their contract with demons)
The new enemy does not appear in the demo so I'm not sure we can conclude that he's controlling them. Gomorrah just appears to go berserk
As for what will happen next I have no idea, but I imagine Jeanne won't be staying dead based on co-op play being on the table
Video of the whole E3 demo, at 60 fps of course!

I don't think Jeanne ever died in Bayo 1. Defeated yes, then ran away.
'died'/died
hmmm
its appear bayonetta need to go to hell to find Jeanne's Soul and return it to real world

She never died.
IIRC the stone she used to seal Bayonetta protected her from the missiles at the end of Jeanne 3
and she was just chillin in space I guess while Bayo was handling Jubileus
P sure the game is going in the direction of Bayonetta going to hell to get her soul back, with demons shaping up to be boss encounters. but I hope that isn't the entire plot of the game. I'd hate for Jeanne to just be a damsel in distress the whole time

Im sure Jeanne will be making regular appearances throughout the game. no worries.
If they do this I would ditch my 360 so fast, but then I just remembered that I have my XBLA Treasure games on there, so whoops.
Awesome. I was hoping they'd go this route for the sequel. We never really saw much of Inferno from the last game.

Yep.
God I want to play around with it so much. Madama Butterfly headbutt is too fucking hype
The punish move in the demo where Bayo summons her to pound Gomorrah's face into the skyscraper and end with the headbutt is just HNNNNNNNNNGH

Not sure they will only be boss encounters, considering the Angels and Demons shown from 0:16 through 0:19 of the trailer. Honestly, that many bosses in a single P* game would be insane.

Considering that Gomorrah took place in an actual chapter instead of its own thing like the major bosses in Bayonetta, I'm hoping they're really shaking up the structure from the last game
and as a result we'll see alot more boss encounters like the one depicted in the demo, rather than Cardinal Virtue chapters

Totally. This game is E3 for anyone who knows what's up.
Gamersyde 60fps floor footage confirms Wii U is a clear step above current gen and can go toe-to-toe with next.
In the words of the goddess, "Bring it."

Bayonetta, Bayonetta, Bayonetta. Holy shit, just do it. It's not every day, month, or year you get your hands on a game that's almost universally acknowledged to be one of the best things that's ever happened to its genre. Play it. Play it so you can testify to the glory of our Queen and rejoice in her hallowed return. Play it now.
Here's a guide for Bayonetta 1
If you have 360 only: If you don't own this game by now, get out and rethink your life
If you have PS3 only: 360 version dumps on the PS3 ver. but it's still playable. You'd be a fool to skip out on a perfectly playable version of the game.
If you have Wii only: You're fucked. Buy a 360 or PS3.
tl;dr - you will do whatever is necessary to be able to play this game.

I guess that could be pretty cool.
Looking at all the stage demo footage, the improvement to animation(especially considering how well animated the original was) is so gooooood. Not just for Bayonetta(dem kick-only combos), but even just for stuff like enemy hit-stun.
There's this one sword combo, at about 2:20 of the IGN video, where the Wicked Weave at the end stabs upward from the ground and holds the enemy in place for a second; it's... beautiful. Normally I'd make a gif, but it's a stream recording and I'm not fond of watermarks besides. :/

Umm lets not get ahead of ourselves. It looked better thsn current gen bayonetta which wasnt exactly pushing the boundries.
It doesnt even come close to games like forza 5, KI, or Titanfall or Assassins creed 4 :- All running at 60FPS too.
It looked in keeping with what we know about the WiiU:- Better than current gen in some areas, worst than others. I noticed at no time were there more than 3 enemies on screen to fight. This is less than PS360 bayo already.

That's weird... Why the hell would they drop the option of hard lock on... it made the stinger so easy to execute...

I want to know more about this multiplayer, tho
That's fairly specious reasoning. It's not quite fair to judge the demo for what could easily show up at a later point. It is a demo, after all. I didn't really see anything in the demo that was clearly a step down from bayonetta 1, but hey, I didn't get to play it in person so it's incredibly tough to say.
yaaaaaaaaaaaas stan the lord
I think both hard-lock and hand guns were just disabled in the demo for the sake of simplicity. Neither are essential, and I don't think they're going to use those empty buttons for anything else.
Looks like they've put weapon switching to where lock-on would be normally, so lock-on might end up mapped to ZL, which sounds more comfortable to me anyway.

its not just that though. The way the halos dropped, the way the enemy armor hardly broke etc.
Its all speculation at this point but we do know that the WiiU has a weaker CPU and a stronger GPU. This would lend itself less independant items on screen than PS360, but the ones that are looking far prettier.
in any case, no reason to make this a debbie downer on the WiiU, likewise its way too early to say this legitimises the system when compared to next gen. The jury is out on both counts.

There is a hard lock on. Its on the Destructiod video. LT or whatever its called on the WiiU.

Sweet, thanks for the info. I got a little worried for a bit lol
I know a lot of people praise the first for how good soft lock-on was, but I used hard lock most of the time, it makes stingers and launchers way easier to do along with back-forward inputs.
