Bayonetta
polycounter lvl 15
Has anyone else gotten the demo? Or at least seen some video of this? I think this game is above what DMC could have ever hoped to be.
You can make a Live/PSN account that's just for Japan. (there's tons of sites that tell you how).

It's interesting with the alternative rhythm-based controllers (automatic-play) for attracting people who aren't typical gamers.
Will definitely try this when it's out.
Can't speak too in-depth about the combat because I skipped the tutorial so I didn't really know the combos and there were only two weapons to use but it seemed pretty awesome in general. Fast, responsive, and rewarding (the "witch time" you get after a well-timed dodge is great). I did notice the camera can't always keep up, though, which forces some more cautious play at times.
I hope Sega uses some of the extra months they've got to enhance the PS3 version a bit after all the negative publicity. I mean, most people I've heard are still planning to play it on PS3 just for the dual shock controls, but I'll confess it does look noticeably worse and it really shouldn't.
I played the demo today on my 360, and it's awesome.
First day buy for me.

number 2 in that gallery looks way more exaggerated than the others, but her freakishly tiny head still stands out to me every time I see the character. -I'm sure It'll be easy to forget about while playing the game regardless. -at least in between cutscenes. -can't wait to try it
Like 'Oh btw we need a promo shot by tomorrow, but dont use the head from the game it looks too lowpolies, can't you use that one drawing made by that guy Mental Rayz ?'
(.)(.)ppai!!
The head is pretty small man, shes roughly 10 heads tall, which makes for some pretty radical stylisation. Still she looks awesome.
Pior: Dude I thought that kind of stuff only happened to small dodgy places that I worked, you sound like your speaking from experience!!!! do tell even in a PM would be spiffing!
Kind of pointless really. Oh well. Enjoy these images.

Trailer looks cool, anyone knows if the original jap voices will be available tho? English anime dubs always sound so wrong. I know that the subject matter is fantasy and therefore is not to be taken too seriously but still these english voices really make it sound ridiculous....
now in Japan. January here.
Well -grabs hook and reels this thread out of the waters- I just played the demo, and it's FREAKIN' awesome.
Like, there's something SO undeniably stylish about this game. Yes, like others have said, there's cheese, but there's something so good about it. The gameplay felt like something right out of a Devil May Cry game...but, dare I say, MORE awesome? All the different moves you have, the feel of the impact with the dualshock remote... wow. It feels GREAT to play. Oh, and is still challenging--as with the DMC games, I am no stranger to dying. A lot. :P (I love the DMC series dearly, but have always kinda sucked at them
I have the PS3 demo (don't own a 360, never plan to) and so far in the demo, I haven't noticed any big problems. I am hoping that the techincal issues with the PS3 version over the 360 version don't lower my experience with the game too much.
Overall, a game that I know I will have to buy. The only question remains is whether I buy it when it comes out (Jan 5th over here, I believe?) for the high price point, or maybe wait until it drops... (whenever that will be).
So far though, this game seems a real MUST HAVE for anyone that's enjoyed the DMC series, if not all action-lovers that have an appreciation of style and well-done cheesyness!
they must have modeled her the right way and just scaled the head down i guess
as long as it makes her boobs look bigger i guess
"A GOTY candidate already in January?"
Rating 5/5
Good
*Variations in the fighting system
*Estetics
*The madness
*The end fight
Bad
*The storytelling
Also it seems like you need to remember so many combo's.
Props to the animators though, I really like her walk animation, lol.
I tried the demo on both platforms and I would love to get in on PS3 since I'm still depressed by how much taller my stack of 360 games is than my PS3 collection. Pretty much every game that's available on both consoles I end up getting the 360 versions and I'm still hoping that'll change.
In all honesty, I couldn't see a whole lot of difference between the versions but I did only play for a few minutes when I got the demo's. I hear the PS3 version has issues, anyone know what these are?
This game is so good. The style is definitely... odd, its like Final Fantasy X-2, mixed with that old sega saturn space dancing game, and an all female cast of devil may cry. I've been having to skip the cinematics because some of them are just unbearable to watch. There are only so many i can sit through where Bayonetta shoots off the faces of angels, stomps their heads while asking them if they are cheating on her, or that douchebag Luka character... haha i stopped trying to follow the story. Likewise when going to the Gates of Hell, i dont need a 4 minute cinematic where some dude craps himself by speaking, and comes back with a weapon. There are a few spots as well where the cinematics are before a challenging section, requiring you to skip/wait if you fail (as i have been doing, repeatedly). I have no idea what is going on, but damn its fun.
I'm 7 levels in and just cant get enough, except for the fact that my arm is going to fall off. I'm playing on normal, and there are really some seriously challenging moments... really kicks you in the balls to get you to learn how to master Witch Time and combo timing. I dont think ive been this satisfied with boss battles in a game since God of War 2. Amazing stuff. The introduction of the Joy creatures is fucking awesome.
Also, Katana > all.
It's so over the top it's fantastic.
This is one of the rare games that I'm actually trying to learn combos in. The last one was by Platinum/Clover too; God Hand.
Let's not let this thread get political.
I like this game because the combo system is fun to play and they let me throw a church at a dragon.
A sexy woman is just a bonus for me to look at. I would still enjoy this game just as much if it were a sexy man like Dante.
me -> church
> dragon -> BAM
Yum.
End of that discussion.
Anyway, dumb game.
To quote her words while playing the demo : "Woah that's actually kinda cool!!!"
Poop, you should try the game, it's actually shaping up to be a very good surprise. And it plays very, very smoothly.
And honestly once you start playing, the proportions make alot of sense. Check out that move when you end up upside-down, twisting and shooting with the heel guns. The look and animation are AWESOME on that.
