3D action games haven't evolved? Hideki Kamiya, the brains behind defining 3D action game Devil May Cry doesn't really seem to think so! Over on the official Bayonetta site, Kamiya blogs:
"How have 3D action games evolved since we blazed a new trail with DMC? Can you even go so far as to say they've evolved?
Seven years ago, we put everything we had into Devil May Cry. But since then, like the hands of time for the 3D action genre were frozen at that moment, it seems like the drive to push users further has stopped. There is so much more that should be done now. And we are the only ones who seem up to the task. This is the spark that has lit the fire within me."
Ah, don't you love it when game creators have fires in their bellies? Way more uplifting than when they're burnt out and crazy. Also in his post, Kamiya says to believe him and Platinum Games that the upcoming Bayonetta "will be worth the wait". Alrighty, then.

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.
Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.
I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online
Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.
They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.
On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.
She also played Chun-Li and Major from Ghost in the Shell
oh shit, i did know that the Major voice actress passed away but i didnt know she voiced bayonetta too
rest in peace
Major is definitely one of my all time favourite anime characters so this is really sad
The creator of the Bayonetta franchise Hideki Kamiya appeared in an interview and discussed the plans for the future of the series.
DMC and NG Remember this ;)
PR talk.
Just show actual footage instead of a CGI trailer that shows no indication of what the gameplay is going to be like.
can he say this when, DMC4 was underwhelming (to say the least) how creative lets make a sequel with a star character, that isnt our last games star character, but looks,dresses,and fights just like him...
give me a break!!
for me like DMC2.
I wish they could make a 2-D version, maybe with some 3-D elements and bring it back to the Symphony of The Night Days...
2-D game still rock, but are now seen as a risk because developers are suppose to be taking advantage of these technological 3-D platforms, when all that should matter is playing a fun game, not so much it's technical feats.
I actually thought DMC was an extension of the CS series where it failed to deliver.
