A sexy British female protagonist, wearing tight-fitting garb, in a third-person action game? It isn't what you think. Rather, this is Bayonetta, the second game due out from Clover spin-offs PlatinumGames, now firmly ensconced at Sega. This is the latest title from Hideki Kamiya - who is on hand to take us through parts of this outlandish and action-packed adventure.
Playing as a long-legged, leather-clad witch (the titular Bayonetta, who sports guns strapped to her limbs), players are going to be drawing upon all manner of combat disciplines and weapons as they romp across a number of landscapes, from the predictable Devil May Cry-esque gothic castles to more hellish, apocalyptic stages, in which the gameplay will 'switch up' to match the setting.
While this game is clearly about flows of combat and movement at it's core, Kamiya-san is very keen to imbue the experience with meaning beyond just a fighting frenzy, so we'll be presented with an involving plotline that will be told via in-game sequences and flashbacks. If you think this looks good, some of the set piece action in the game also looks impressive, PlatinumGames delivering some epic environments, that come to life through some lovely visuals effects.
Creator of Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and Wonderful 101 comments on how they're all part of the same universe.
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
