TGS ‘08: Bayonetta makes like Dante

This game couldn’t look any more like Devil may cry if it tried. Fair do’s though: the guy responsible for Devil may cry did create it. And hey, if the formula works…
Bayonetta is a witch who is on a mission to slay monsters masquerading as angels. That’s all that’s known in terms of the story. It wasn’t easy to make out in the trailer (this post will be updated when the direct stream trailer hits), but Bayonetta’s outfit is made up of her hair, which she can unleash for deadly attacks. This gives the developers an excuse to have the leading lady show some skin and be pretty much naked during attacks, as the trailer showed. Weird, but a cool idea. Dante sure as hell couldn’t do that. He was too much of a little bitch when it came to his hair.
Bayonetta is getting a lot of attention and love from gamers (I’m sure the extreme close-up under the crotch sweeping shot has a fair bit to do with it), so it will be interesting to see how well this game sells when it releases. It looks to do a good job of filling the stylish slash, hack and gun’ em void until the inevitable Devil may cry 5 comes along.
Bayonetta is being developed by Platinum games (the lovely people who will bring us MadWorld for the Wii) and will be published by Sega. The game is slated for a September 2009 release for both Xbox 360 and PS3.

Oh boy more FABULOUS voice acting. To be honest I had forgotten how intrigued the original teaser for Bayonetta was. Also how about that cliche nemesis at the end?
Ah! The video updated itself with the direct feed trailer. I wondered who you were on about, because that bit at the end wasn’t shown before.
I’m a little scared. It looks like Bullet Witch…uuugh.
Well she IS a witch, shooting a shitload of bullets.
Hey! i liked bullet witch.. in that budget bin kinda way :p
As for this game, it just oozes devil may cry with a chick. but is that really a bad thing? i’m pretty hyped!
Glad to see they went with the cheesy route. Then again, I think that’s the only viable option given the premise.
Jeez that woman can fight.Is that a videogame?I need to buy it!
Is it just me or have there been lots of awesome trailers lately with “SEGA” at the start?
Could this be the long-awaited return of SEGA? I’m calling it, Sonic Unleashed 10/10 on Metacritic next month!
Random nice post. I’m looking forward to this game. Over the top action, nothing but cheese and partial everything.
