This and Xenoblade Chronicles are what's pushing me for a Wii U, great value pack with the original Bayonetta in it.

Man, this looks so good! They haven't strayed from the original which is really awesome to see, the combat still looks fast and furious. That bow and arrow weapon looks really fun too.

Only thing I'm worried about is that annoying kid seems to follow you around the whole game, I don't like the looks of that one bit.

As a side note though, should this thread not be in general gaming?

Maybe he's like the little girl in the first game (Eliza? Forgot her name) just here and there.

Dammit it Mang SEGA fans got to cling on something, do you want us to just talk about Sticks the Badger, DO YOU?!

^Isn't he the co-op character though? Eh, I just get bad vibes from him. The gameplay made it look like he wasn't overbearing anyway.


As for NOT SEGA, it's technically true, but I agree there's not exactly much to talk about otherwise except for 'Sonic Boom looks shit'/'No it doesn't' & 'Gib Shemmu 3 plz'. There's also Alien Isolation, but discussion seems to be anaemic on that game.

I swear he's just in cutscenes?

I can't understand why outside of it being a licensed IP. Frankly it looks great to me and I've always wanted a good Alien game. You should watch any piece of media you can of it, really restored my confidence in CA after they botched Rome II.

[CrazyT]

Yeah let us cling on something lol. I see this game as a cooperation really. Kind of like when AV did F zero? I consider F zero a SEGA project done of a Nintendo game. Still one of AV greatest projects imo

I was sure I saw the kid fighting in the vid? I might be wrong...
Skip to 50s in the vid, he's definitely flipping about and stuff during the fight. Can't tell if he's actually damaging them, but he's there and stays there.


Maybe I just don't like him because he's black? DUN DUN DUN

As for Alien, I'm excited too and I think it's going to be good, just that there doesn't seem to be much to talk about. I haven't had a chance to watch the gameplay footage yet, so that might change things.

Is Sega doing ANYTHING with this game though? They own the IP but from what I know they aren't developing nor Publishing the game.

[CrazyT]

I like to think of it as a SEGA x NINTENDO x platinum collab... despite SEGA's logo not even on the box anymore. Well someone needs to satisfy her needs in the process right?.. right?

[Barry the Nomad]

I think it's 100% Platinum Games. SEGA owns the IP, Nintendo publishes. From what I read in the Eyes of Bayonetta art book, SEGA Japan actually were against glasses on Bayonetta! I can only imagine what Nintendo pushed back on. Or, Nintendo are so desperate for a hit that they figure hands off is best with PG.

I do know, however, that Kamiya is unhappy with Nintendo's treatment of the logo. It all stemmed from a tweet we sent him. In fact, Kotaku reported on it: http://kotaku.com/why-hideki-kamiya-hates-the-bayonetta-2-wii-u-box-1589176761

Nothing . Just seems that some of the SEGA faithful are so desperate to paint SEGA in a positive light they'll try and make out SEGA involved, quite sad really .


Worst still is I remember the days when SEGA Japan was once able to low the world with High End graphics and making great action games

I seriously can't tell the difference between the two, what am I missing?

As for Kamiya, ...I don't see why people are acting like this is a surprise. A game's developers almost never have a say in things like boxart and marketing, those duties belong to the publisher. If Platinum wants that type of control, then they should publish their games themselves.

Publishers are the ones who actually have to pay to market, distribute, and sell the game. They're going to do what they think will best sell the game. That's not the job of a developer.

Quite and a spot on post . Treasure weren't happy with the title Gunstar Heroes but that was up to SOA to call the shots .

I think mademang raised a good point then and I think this thread doesn't nesceseraly have to be in the SEGA section but then again we dont have to be THAT politically correct. We can all agree that the game looks fantastic. I know most footages arent very clear but so far i get the impression that the upgrade from Bayo 1 is pretty striking. I'm gonna be honest i've been skeptical about the WII U's performance as well but that concern has gone  to rest since recently. Even Bayonetta 1 is running 60fps locked. I wonder if that's gonna run better than the 360 version since I heard that game wasnt locked 60fps.

Read the article, it explains it all. I agree with Kamiya, the original looked better.

He may not be in control of boxart, but he can still voice his dislike.

Hmm, It would be great if it runs better than 360 version. I would love to have the definitive B1 on the same console as Bayo 2. Hell, I'm just stoked we get both games on the same console now! Great idea considering I'd imagine theres a lot of WiiU owners who never played the first one.

What do you guys think of the new weapons? Flamethrows and Ice guns might be cool, that Bow and Arrow is the one that looks coolest to me though.
