I was pretty impressed with it at PAX. Day One for me. Does anyone know if Bayonetta 1 being included is a limited time thing or not?

Yeah as long as they keep that quality up, they'll still get projects, basically why Microsoft is now funding them. For nothing else they seem relatively cheap for a decently high metacritic when it goes right. I hope they contain getting lots of work as they seem to be one of the few developers dedicated to pushing in as much fun content as possible without trying to screw you over with dlc. A good quality old school dev.

People already make Kamiya pissed off lol
No love for Hashimoto, that's a shame.

He deserves a lot more. it I mean many were writing it off due to no Kamiya for no real reason until proper gameplay impressions and videos started pouring in.
oh! I can't say it is a bad list but it is not a good one neither.

Hashimoto ran with Kamiya's template and made it better it seems.
They both deserve credit for their accomplishment but yeah, Hashimoto was driving the ship this time but he's not a celebrity so he'll be under the radar but those that follow games...know.
Props to Kuroda too, she seems like a cool and really talented developer.
And you also can't forget Inaba just because he's a badass.
I guess Kamiya and his team right next to Hashimoto and his really pushed both projects and the results are glorious.
I sent to all them twitters earlier today, JP too
i just had to congratulate all of them.Kuroda answered too >.<

Question for people who played Bayo 1:
I had a really tough time with another Platinum game - Wonderful 101. Is Bayonetta bit more accessible if I was confused and frustrated with W101? I don't mind a bit of challenge but I'm also not terribly experienced with these type of fast paced action games.

It is a lot more accessible.

Lets wait for sales figures to see if there will even be another one...

Bayonetta's fairly simple (though it has a lot of depth) with a plethora of ways to allow people inexperienced to enjoy it. You won't kick ass or get gold/platinum's or anything, but it won't be all that punishing. Playing through it again harder difficulties unlocks more stuff (there's a lot of stuff to unlock generall0, and you get more proficient at it. It's all very rewarding.
Well yeah, that is the asterix, any potential sequel. I don't expect good numbers barring a small miracle.
If it bombs there may not be another and if it sells average/good then Nintendo will publish the next one too.
So everyone who claim to actually care about the IP should support this game so maybe we'll see more of it. It's that simple.
I believe it will sell average/good tbh.
Then see what games you want to play and buy the console that plays them. Consoles are machines that play games. Without games they are just cheap paperweights.

Thanks, that sounds appealing. I respect the depth in W101 and I even sat down and watched a ton of instructional videos but I found they didn't help me that much, really don't want to have to put that much effort in again. I'm fine with something that is playable at surface but offers rewards for learning its nuances.

Dumb question.... where can I find a physical copy of Edge? I've never seen them in Gamestops or other game stores. I live in a decent sized city, so if there's a chain that you've seen it in I probably have one near me and would like to know.

Lerny on Twitter, gotta add you fast.
I know, but a lot of times Kamiya had to remind people that they must congratulate
Hashimoto , not him.
Atsushi motherfucking Inaba is probably the only person in the world who can say "Fuck off" to Kamiya.
Not bad. Not bad at all. Way better than all the lists IGN's been shitting out lately.
Nice to see LBP on there. Game deserves the love. Super SFIV, Portal, and Mario Galaxy are great picks as well.
Also nice to see Skyward Sword not on there. If I remember right it got a 10 as well, which I thought was way off base.

What other 10's have Edge given so far to 8th generation games?
There you go!
Yes! Thanks.

Does anyone know if the "Book of Genesis" feature is an excerpt from this book:

I know Keith Stuart has been a contributor for Edge before, so it wouldn't necessarily come as a shock.

Remember reading a lenghty game informer preview around E3. Coop is one of the major changes I remember.

Aww yeah, Bayonetta!
Was that ever in doubt? The dev team is the same as far as I'm aware, director aside (and Kamiya still consulted), Platinum reps have had nothing but positive things to say about their working relationship with Nintendo, and all of the demo footage speaks for itself.
Edge nailed it with their review of the original Bayonetta. Their impressions of the sequel are at least worth considering.

They gave the first one a 10 too?
I definitely know not to go to EDGE for reviews now. It's perfectly fine to give the game that score, it's just very obvious our tastes differ wildly though. Phew.

Did you read the review, or just the score at the end?
r u kidding? bayo 2 was always probably on lock for being a good game, framerate or no.
it's just gonna bomb is all :T

No, I don't have the magazine. Giving the first game a 10 is all I need to know though.
This is a glowing endorsement of bayonetta for me, because it's also very obvious that my tastes and yours are nothing alike either.

Why does every game that does well critically or enjoyed by forum goers also have to be compared to its potential sales figures?
"So what if it scored high, it aint going to move consoles / sell well, look it already bombed in one market!"
That will impact how much enjoyment people get out of it how? Every single game that gets reviewed well is immediately compared to its potential to move x amount of consoles. Dont care, so long as I enjoy it.

it's a very well written review (the first one, havent got the latest one with Bayo 2 in it). Im not sure if it is worth a 10, but it is by far the best of those types of action games.

Of course!
But it's really disheartening (and makes me kind of angry) when great games flop.

Go go Bayonetta!
I'm actually really excited to re-play Bayonetta 1 too. Glad they include it for free, basically.

That 10 for Bayo is impressive. Curious to see what Evil Within Gets...
Put of curiosity, what would you pick? I'm not into half uh games on the list, but when I played them I still generally found then to be very good.
