Bayonetta - "Slutty bride of Satan...

A Devil May Cry-style third-person shooter with a female protagonist with shotguns in her high heels and magic powers that revolve around using her ridiculously long hair as a weapon... and who also appears to use her hair as clothing, meaning she's practically naked during the most powerful special moves. And optional leg mounted rocket launchers. Platinum Games certainly know how to give the kids what they want, don't they? The "pause SF2 to see if you can see Chun Li's pants during the Spinning Bird Kick" crowd will love this.

Pre-ordered.

I saw a video to this ages ago and it looks ace! I'll wait till it comes down in price because no one will buy it, then i'll get it.

You forgot to mention that sarah palin is a playable character.

This game looks very embarrassing to be caught playing, but also looks awesome.

Mentioned how good the preview looked of this a while back in bits and bobs. Think it's a sure bet for me.

Perhaps they should rename this "Slutty bride of Satan gets 'em out for the lads"? Pehaps not.

A more pipe smoking question: In Japanese culture are demons/devils not necessarily viewed as evil? They seem to pop up in all manner of games/manga/filims etc. and some of the devils/demons depicted are bigger do-gooders than your local Christian youth group.

From what I remember, A lot of people in Japan find the whole christian idea of devils, demons and angels really entertaining. They thinks it is really 'cool' and bizarre. Thats why so much japanese manga contains christian imagery.

It's a bit like how we make loads of stuff about Greek mythology, because we find it really interesting.

Traditional japanese mythology held that most natural objects - rocks, trees, waterfalls - and even man-made structures like houses would all often have an intrinsic spirit dwelling within it. These spirits had personalities as varied as humans, so might be malignant or helpful or indifferent. These are much closer to the Greek word daemon (meaning a spritual helper) rather than the word demon (always with negative associations) that derive from it.

Tsk, GX4000 owners were there years before:

I'd throw her around until her tilt sensor lit up.

MaliA · **Posted:** Mon Jun 22, 2009 7:33

I'd drop my balls down her hole at the top of her legs.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Mon Jun 22, 2009 9:11

I'd take her out for a nice meal and buy her flowers.

We're going for a nice walk on Saturday and maybe a pub lunch on Sunday followed by a nice quiet evening in.

Eurogamer, brought to my attention via The Rev on Twitter:

Quote:

A game that exemplifies so much of what commentators claim has died in the Japanese game industry. A blast of creative brilliance, both technically accomplished, strategically deep and infused with rare imagination, Bayonetta represents the pinnacle of its chosen niche. [JPN Import]

The Rev Owen · **Posted:** Fri Nov 20, 2009 12:11

I was referring to the fact that it got a 10 in the new issue of Edge.

The thrill of batting away celestial bodies to a poorly enunciated lounge version of "Fly Me To the Moon" is unforgettable.

SOLD

Again.

Yeah, screw waiting for this! Consider me sold!

Oh! Well, that's two good reviews then!

Zardoz · **Posted:** Fri Nov 20, 2009 13:34

In a way I'm glad it's not released until Jan. It gives me time to finish Borderlands and get more MW2 & Fortsar3 time in.

I will have it as soon as it's launched though.

Devil May Cry 4 (or 3? the last one i mean) was probably the most boring game I've ever played. So no thanks. Besides, its aesthetics are too embarrassing, even for japanese standards.

I refuse to read the reviews because I have it on order and don't want any spoilers... but two good reviews so far, can't be bad.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Mon Nov 23, 2009 2:56

This got a full 10 in this month's Edge. I also detested Devil May Cry, so I won't be getting it.

That seems... unusual. Maybe their subscriber numbers are down and they want people to buy the magazine to see what the buggery fuck they're going on about.

It looks fun, though. Also, boobs.

There aren't enough hot brunettes with glasses in games today. Especially not ones who get naked at every opportunity.

This is an unarguable fact.

TheVision · **Posted:** Mon Nov 23, 2009 16:27

The demo for this is coming out on December 3rd in Europe!

Link here to the Sega Blog...

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 13:26

There's a number of pre order options for this..

Play.com are doing the game, a limited sleeve, art book and soundtrack CD

http://www.play.com/Search.aspx?searcht ... x=0&go.y=0

And GAME are doing a replica gun with all pre orders.

http://www.game.co.uk/search.aspx?s=bayonetta

I'm a collector of things like this and I'm gutted that I'm being forced to choose one over another.. damn retailers!

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 13:34

Book one for me I think.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 14:46

Nothing for me please. I fucking hate Devil May Cry and all its ilk.

The Rev Owen · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 14:48

If the gun was full size and well made I'd be tempted, but I bet it's about two inches long and made of a couple of bins of thin plastic clipped together.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 14:50

DMC4 was an abomination, with the worst 'camera' use in any game I can remember playing.

As such, I am predisposed to dislike this game, though all the reviews make it sound ace.

So I'm torn.

I agree... They'll be on eBay within a year anyway for a fraction of the price. If they're any good, I'll get them then..

Plus.. it means I don't have to use GAME!

Devil May Cry is a dry, hard to pass stool dug out of the programmer's rectum. With a stick.

So you're a fan then, yes?

DMC4 is far too tinny. Give me the wood of Two Worlds, anyday.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 14:59

Two Worlds is 99% tin. Like Tekken. Fucking Tekken even has a tinny name! Tekken. Tekkkkkkennnnnnnn NUH NUH NUH KEH kkkKKk KUH. Tinny fucking tin bastard.

The Rev Owen · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 14:59

I tried the original DMC years ago and never worked out how to save.

Still want Bayonetta though. Interest turned to NEEDAGE after reading the Edge review.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 15:01

Overlord. Lovely woody game and woody name. Ohhhhhhh VUHHHR LORRRD. Beautiful. Ho Ho Ho! I'm Ohhhhhhh VUHHHR LORRRD!

I really enjoyed the first Devil May Cry, but the 'series' seemed to go steadily downhill after that.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Dec 01, 2009 15:15

DMC4 was alright. This has a Titty Witch though.
