Dodge offset is when you start a combo, dodge, and then continue the combo. If you're doing the combo punch punch kick, you can press punch, press punch and hold, dodge, then release punch and press kick, and it will finish your combo after the dodge. People love it but it's not really a necessary skill on normal difficulty. I guess it always rewards you in points, though.

Oh cool, thanks.

 

[AgentChris]

I hope the PS3 version is great this time since it's going to sell more on it.

 

[Anteater]

I hope the PS3 version is great this time since it's going to sell more on it.

It's probably going to be fine, they updated the engine to run well on both systems since vanquish, and I think Kamiya tweeted "Leave it to us!" when someone said/asked if his next game will run better on the ps3.

 

[Kreed]

Great news. Hopefully they are given a bigger budget with the sequel so we won't have any "slide shows" this time.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Sure, it wasn't required for Normal, but I think that was part of the charm. By the time you got to the higher difficulties/challenges (much less started playing with the other characters), you were EXPECTED to know what you were doing with it and integrate it into your overall gameplay strategy.

I mean, if you were able to, say, start playing with

Spoiler

King Zero

and actually get decently far in the game without relying on Dodge Offset? Big ups to you, because I couldn't very well see living long without an adequate means to control the crowds and not die

Spoiler

in two hits

! :lol

I'm gonna be honest. I never even unlocked Jeanne. Or King Zero. Or practiced using dodge offset. When I go back to the game, I will work on it.

Also there better fucking be a Bayonetta 2.

 

[Salih]

Okami 2 please.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

If you have a problem with dodging being too easy, just use counter-attacks? They require very precise timing.

Or if you'd just have a Pure Platinum, no Witch Time, full encounter with lots of dodge offset: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxmx9uMusE0#t=02m14s

 

[_Xenon_]

More Jeanne gameplay please. Or just make it dual gameline dammit.

Using Shuraba and Beast Offset helps a lot with fighting Joys on higher difficulties.

P - hold K - double tap RT - run around in panther form till you get an opening - P to unleash the wicked weave.

 

[SMT]

Well, if the OTHER part of that TGS rumor does play out (Bayonetta CG movie???), I'd like to think that as a sign that Sega is willing to put a bit more bank behind Bayonetta. Not too much to hopefully put pressure on the brand, but enough so that it can just do more to flourish.

Woo, sounds like this is going to be a great Tokyo Game Show, SEGA should put more in the bank, P+ deserves it. Wonder if it will be a hybrid disc for the next release, like Tekken TT2.

 

[kayos90]

As much as I love the ridiculousness of Bayonetta, I'd much rather it be a game than a movie.

What?

EDIT: Oh, i think you mean about the TGS rumor. It said both a game sequel AND a movie.

 

[sixteen-bit]

What about Shinobi ninja star stages? Or Sonic ring collecting stages?

That was skipable AFAIK

Man, I wish all this combat stuff had been in the |OT|. As much as I smiled the first time I saw "An Action Game by Hideki Kamiya. That is all you need to know" it actually wasn't all I needed to know, and I think the game and GAF would have benefited from there being an in-depth |OT| explaining its depth.

 

[2th]

Okami 2 please.

would love this but Kamiya has said he has no interest since Okamiden was made

Or if you'd just have a Pure Platinum, no Witch Time, full encounter with lots of dodge offset: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxmx9uMusE0#t=02m14s

yeah that is fucking impossible for me to even come close to being able to do. I suck at games like this but i still had so much fun with Bayonetta.

 

[Palette Swap]

A sequel to my favorite game of the generation? Color me interested !

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Yes please. I loved the first one.

 

[Ezalc]

would love this but Kamiya has said he has no interest since Okamiden was made

Fucking Capcom.

 

[Gravijah]

All I need:

Evolution of Bayonetta gameplay
Music on par with Bayonetta or better

Spoiler

with more OutRun remixes

An equally over the top story

 

[Hasemo]

If it's about Bayo 2, don't rape the PS3 version this time, please.

 

[TreIII]

Bayonetta/Jeanne coop with combo attacks would be perfect.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Bayonetta/Jeanne coop with combo attacks would be perfect.

I'm skeptical of co-op in character action games.

 

[Risk Breaker]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE BE TRUE!

I adored pretty much everything about the game. Best action game this generation!

PLEASE.

 

[Gravijah]

PLEASE.

So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows it would be the first time
Lord knows it would be the first time

 

[Khal_B]

PC version, please.

 

[damn that's nice]

i'm sorry buy bayonetta is too fine to replace

PC version, please.

.

 

[Seth Balmore]

Holy mother of fuck MAKE IT HAPPEN PLATINUM. ;_;

 

[Gravijah]

i'm sorry buy bayonetta is too fine to replace

But Jeanne has better makeup.

 

[RaGMasTeR90]

OH mY GOD PLEAASE! Bayonetta is my favourite game this gen! I love it and i played the PS3 version

Come on famitsu, leak some stuff!

 

[damn that's nice]

But Jeanne has better makeup.

she looks gross...

 

[TomcatTheLion]

But Jeanne has better makeup.

she looks gross...

Both of them are hotness.

 

[Emitan]

she looks gross...

Don't argue with him on this. His mind is made up.

I'm skeptical of co-op in character action games.

That part in the credits where you fight next to her is cool. For the three seconds it took me to beat that fight

 

[the chris]

would love this but Kamiya has said he has no interest since Okamiden was made

 

[Vazra]

If it were with actors instead of CG I think I found Jeanne.

Bayonetta>>>> Jeanne in looks department but both are good looking ladies.


EDIT: Bayonetta actress would be

[KenOD]

I can't get my hopes for this. The hurt it would cause when it turns out to be false is just too much.

 

[Duffyside]

Does anyone know what Bayonetta says while fighting? One of the phrases sounds like "FUCK OFF!"

Anne Hathaway as Jeanne? Me gusta.

bayonetta 2 coop please please please

 

[Nirolak]

Since people wanted a literal translation I put it in the title.

Game Informer should be Thurdsay, while Famitsu should leak tonight.

My guess would be Famitsu, but perhaps Sega managed to pull off a miracle and get a Japanese game featured in Game Informer.

 

[GDGF]

Guess the rumor list was right after all.

 

[A Twisty Fluken]

Another win for the Rhythm Thief rumor pile if true. Getting interesting.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Does anyone know what Bayonetta says while fighting? One of the phrases sounds like "FUCK OFF!"

She says a lot of things but I think you mean "Flock off!" But I've always wondered what Jeanne says when she gets on the bike while fighting her in the plane.

I always hear: "BE OF NO FEAR!"

Edit: Oops, wrong quote.

I hope you're right

 

[MjFrancis]

I would rather Platinum Games lift the game mechanics from Bayonetta and drop a whole new aesthetic on their next title. I beat the shit out of Bayonetta four times and I never warmed up to Bayonetta herself. I hated the cutscenes so much that I never watched any past Chapter XII - on any playthrough. It was an awesome experience, but now I'm ready for something new. Kill the IP and expand on the concepts.

That said, I'd still buy and likely enjoy the hell out of a Bayonetta sequel.

 

[xxczx]

I would like Vanquish 2 more, even if it recycles the gameplay.

But bring on Bayonetta 2.

 

[Father_Brain]

Guess the rumor list was right after all.

Well, there's been no confirmation regarding any of the non-Sega rumors yet. But it's very interesting, definitely.

 

[Seth Balmore]

She says a lot of things but I think you mean "Flock off!"

I'm sure that's it, she does say it in that one cutscene before the first boss (Fortitudo?).

It's a throwback to a similar cutscene in the first Devil May Cry, too. Dante's delivery is cornier though.

 

[Coxy]

would love this but Kamiya has said he has no interest since Okamiden was made

That's not to say he wont just make his own new series like Okami sometime

Famitsu, technically, is out on Thursday, but we usually have leaks one day before.
So, it will be announced on Famitsu
