If alberto believes this, well, you had a good run bayonetta.

 

[RiZ III]

Why wouldn't Platinum just get another publisher?

edit: Nvm, I see that Sega owns the IP >_<

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

NOooooooooooooooooooooo

E: sorry for double post

 

[Majukun]

so,we have

a ninja gaiden 3 with no Itagaki
a DMC by ninja theory
no bayonetta 2


the action genre is pretty much dead

 

[Peff]

A character from the US military? Sounds like bullshit. I thought Bayonetta took place in a fictional world?

Joe Pesci was in the game.

 

[Seven Force]

Well, shit.

 

[Seraphinianus]

it sold poorly? I thought Bayo sold a million worldwide.

MGRising looks like it'll scratch the itch.

 

[mysticwhip]

overreactions a plenty. it's a rumor people. Anyway, didn't Bayonetta actually sell well?

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

First game was overrated, did not sell great.

Not a surprise TBH.

Yes it did, learn to not be wrong.

it sold poorly? I thought Bayo sold a million worldwide.

People have gotten stupid, anything less then 10mil and they claim it's a bomb.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU....I really enjoyed playing Bayonetta. I even doubled dipped as I bought the Japanese version when it dropped on the PS3 and again at launch for the 360.

 

[kuroshiki]

Wait, Bayonetta 2 was actually on the pipeline?

I'm very surprised.

 

[KibblesBits]

Wow, the game wasn't even announced, maybe it's for the best...

Sega

 

[joe2187]

Unless it's about a side character like Luka ( who had no affect on the game whatsover) I dont understand the US Military thing, maybe they're talking about a Vanquish 2.

Unless....


Bayonetta 2: Revengence!

 

[NewFresh]

;_;

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Don't worry, they've also signed Slant Six to make Vanquish 2.

 

[Anteater]

Can't cancel something that doesn't exist

 

[Zeouterlimits]

overreactions a plenty. it's a rumor people. Anyway, didn't Bayonetta actually sell well?

It sold "alright". I can see Sega not believing it'll be as big as they want any remaining titles to be.

 

[Augemitbutter]

i refuse to believe.

 

[MisterLuffy]

I really enjoyed playing the first one, if Bayonetta 2 cancellation is true....................... >:0

 

[Selkies!]

Honestly I'm ok with Bayonetta not getting a sequel. It's the possibility of a Kamiya character action game existing in some form that I am not allowed to play that bums me out.

 

[Patriot2]

It deserved to be cancelled, that'll teach sega not to make a PC version!

 

[Anteater]

Someone tweet kamiya for the obligatory "I see." comment!

 

[Carbonox]

Someone from the military? Sounds like a silly rumour.

What would it take for SEGA to give Platinum Games the IP so that P* can farm it to a publisher who isn't thick as crab shit, so that we get our Bayonetta 2?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Someone tweet kamiya for the obligatory "I see." comment!

[jett]

Kamiya deflecting all questions about it on twitter, linking to a past tweet where he says to "ask Sega about it". Sux.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Thank God we have Bloodforge in its place.

 

[Finalow]

 

[Oemenia]

Doesnt make sense since the first turned a profit... =(

 

[Seraphinianus]

Yes it did, learn to not be wrong.



People have gotten stupid, anything less then 10mil and they claim it's a bomb.

figured it was that. I remember them doing a press release after it came out saying it did great.

It was Vanquish that was the unfair bomb.

 

[ramine]

NO.
NO NO NO.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

NO

 

[Zomba13]

 

[EXGN]

Keep in mind this is *****, who reported a rumor that Shenmue III was in development citing "Japanese sources." It was later found out that they had mistranslated a fan letter to AM-2 that said Sega should make a Shenmue III with I and II included. They then proceeded to lash out at Sega after their shit was called out.

EDIT: This should really go in the OP. ***** is notorious for BS rumor mongering, I really wouldn't give them any credit.

 

[Yen]

Kamiya is doing his tweet within a tweet to say "Stop asking me if Bayo 2 is cancelled."

 

[Anteater]

http://twitter.com/#!/PG_kamiya

Excellent.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Doesnt make sense since the first turned a profit... =(

Sega probably makes more profits from its Sonic games, unfortunately.

 

[Peff]

http://twitter.com/#!/PG_kamiya

Is he saying he's not SegaMan or he's not Sega, man?

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Kamiya deflecting all questions about it on twitter, linking to a past tweet where he says to "ask Sega about it". Sux.

But he's right.

Is he saying he's not SegaMan or he's not Sega, man?

SegaMan.

 

[Jarmel]

http://twitter.com/#!/PG_kamiya

Lol his response isn't that encouraging.

But he's right.

It's more the tone as he seems pissed off.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

He is not Sega Man.

 

[Principate]

figured it was that. I remember them doing a press release after it came out saying it did great.

It was Vanquish that was the unfair bomb.

Didn't that still manage to sell 800k a few months after release? Though probably a lot of that may be bargain bin.

 

[Kyoufu]

How about Sega give Platinum Games the IP? Why keep it if they can't support it?

 

[Majukun]

Someone from the military? Sounds like a silly rumour.

What would it take for SEGA to give Platinum Games the IP so that P* can farm it to a publisher who isn't thick as crab shit, so that we get our Bayonetta 2?

a miracle

 

[DoDonGouki]

The money was needed for Sonic Shuffle 2 Kinect ....

 

[Jarmel]

Sega has so many IPs they need to let the fuck go.

 

[statham]

I thought Bayonetta was one the the 5 best games to come out in the last couple of years, and I dislike DMC type games, this is sad if true.

 

[Kyoufu]

Sega has so many IPs they need to let the fuck go.

Ain't that the truth.

 

[Oemenia]

Sega probably makes more profits from its Sonic games, unfortunately.

AFAIK, they only break-even on the Yakuza games yet they still release them.

 

[V_Ben]

Sega has so many IPs they need to let the fuck go.

They could do an episode of Hoarders with SEGA and its dead IPs.

 

[geebee]

Kamiya obviously can't comment since a Bayonetta sequel was never even announced.

 

[sleepykyo]

Yes it did, learn to not be wrong.



People have gotten stupid, anything less then 10mil and they claim it's a bomb.

Was a million great for the game? SoA did buy UFC and NY times square advertising and the assorted stuff.

Come on Konami take that staff and add it to MGR.
