Sega’s newly formed development studio PlatinumGames has announced four new games slated for 2009 release, and has named three of them. The titles are MadWorld for Wii, Bayonetta for the PS3 and 360, and Infinite Line for the DS.

MadWorld is a hyper-stylized and campy action game looking like a cross between Sin City and No More Heroes. The game will focus on finding creative ways to dispatch your enemies through environmental hazards, and has a “lighthearted” tone, despite all the exaggerated carnage.

Bayonetta is a game with few details revealed, but you’ll be playing the role of a witch who has a unique fighting style involving strapping guns to her feet. The director Hikedi Kamiya has high hopes for the title, looking to give the 3D action genre its swiftest kick in the ass since his own Devil May Cry.

Infinite Line is an RPG with a focus on extreme customization, from your spaceship, to your maximum of 150 crew members that will inhabit it. As Kotaku reports, “The ships themselves will be designed modularly so you can place different components where ever [you] want.” Sounds a lot like another big-name title coming up…

Seeing as how the team is comprised of members responsible for games like Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, and Okami, it looks like Sega’s got some killer titles in the works, and I can’t wait to see how they turn out.

      They have some creative staff over here. The potential is there, they just need to explote it and live/surpass these expectations that have been place.

      I can’t believe how wicked the blood looks in Madworld. Can’t wait to see the game in action.

      Bayonetta reminds me a lot of Bullet Witch in its style, but who knows what the actual game will look like. I’m sure it’ll be a stylized action titled like Devil May Cry (i think that’s what it’s already being compared to)

      That looks quite scary.
