Bayonetta 2: more of a good thing, and Wii U’s brightest prospect | EDGE

EDGE: "The most immediately apparent is Bayonetta’s new cropped hairdo, balanced out by Jeanne’s waist-length locks. The first game’s rival is now a firm ally, arriving on the wing of a fighter plane that fires a couple of missiles at a boss we’re fighting on top of a speeding train. The duo team up to finish off the boss, but later in our demo Jeanne’s struck by a demon, her soul knocked loose from her body and dragged down to the inferno below."

Edge need to get a grip MK8 and X not to mention Smash all have big MP focus with X's focus being more on the co-op side,and all these 3 games have better graphics than the already stellar looking Bayonetta2,Edge are sucking Sony off at the minute........

[PrimeGrime]

What the fuck... MK8 and Smash Bro's look better than Bayonetta 2? Holy shit what are you smoking? You have been saying this a lot lately, you even said they are the best looking games this generation.. What!?

You know that feeling when someone says something so stupid, it truly blows your mind. Well you just did that. My mind feels completely blown, I cannot wrap my head around that.

I would go through the trouble of posting images but they just get shrunk to hell anyway on this site.

The graphical fidelity being used in Bayonetta 2 can in no way be compared to MK8 or Smash Bro's. I am not even hating on the games, they all look great but that is one ridiculous comparison to make to say the least.

He has a point dude, Bayo 2 looks great but it still looks like a 7th gen game. Mario Kart 8 however looks like a true next gen Mario Kart game. The visuals are a huge leap from Mario Kart on Wii.

yes' I can't stand edge magazine, can't wait for bayonetta 2, gonna be great, but edge is about as dull as a magazine can get.. who writes for this garbage rag? michael PUKETER?

[Triforce079]

Bubble me up then i'm running low got attacked by fanboys...

[Dj7FairyTail]

I feel ya! BUBBLE UP!

[despair]

The irony of you post.

They gave The Last of Us 10/10 and that says it all.
The new Xeno game is THE game to be hyped for (of what we`ve seen) because it`s a game for intellectual gamers. Don`t believe me? It`s Tetsuya Takahashi`s work. Let me give a link so people believe my words. The link is an analysis about his greatest game Xenogears; http://xenoverse.xenotensei...

Just try to write an analysis like this about all the garbage that`s been poluting the gaming market this generation; cod, gow, gears, me, gta, skyrim, fifa, killzone, halo, unchartered, the last of us.

[PsychOff]

Tons of people gave the last of us 10/10 not just Edge.. What is with you people. Pissed because it wasn't on a Nintendo system?

[despair]

Wow you talk about a game for 'intellectual gamers' and sound so clueless. You clearly haven't played last of us or you would realise how stupid you sound. Also there are many great games in your list and the whole "intellectual" thing sounds moronic, you sure you know how to use that word? But your name gives you away and shows your bias.

I feel kinda sorry for you living in your own fishbowl thinking you know what you're talking about.

[deafdani]

Dear God. I LOVE Xenoblade Chronicles, and I also happen to LOVE games like Grand Theft Auto IV, God of War 3, Mario Galaxy 2, all the Uncharted games, etc.

What's wrong with having particular tastes, or enjoying some genres of games more than others?

Drop that "intelectual gamers" bullshit, dude. This is videogames we're talking about, not scholar books, not rocket science. The point of playing videogames is to have fun, and just because you like a complicated RPG doesn't mean you're Albert Einstein, and just because you like Call of Duty doesn't make you Dudebro Low-IQ Joe.

Judging other people because of the games they play, and feeling a false sense of superiority because of YOUR tastes in videogames, however, DOES make you an asshole. A self-deceived one, at that.

Live and let live.

@psycho

And that`s supposed to change anything? I remember avatar was received extremely well by most critics. Does that make it an intellectual movie? Uhm, no.
I remember A Clockwork Orange was received rather poorly by the critics. Does that make it intellectual? Uhm, no, but it is.

[despair]

Right because intellectual is the standard to check movies and games, check the dictionary for a proper meaning of the word and then come back. I really get annoyed by morons should feel they're smarter than everyone else.

You use the score to justify bashing the magazine then reference something separate. Cohesive though is part of your intellectual" thing?

[RM-TatoTiburon]

my WiiU it's waiting for you bayonetta

[ChickeyCantor]

Is your body ready though?

[mydyingparadiselost]

My Bayo is ready...

[maniac76]

Make sure to keep them JAGGIES LMAO

[jcnba28]

I hope they release a collector's edition for this game. Maybe throw in Bayonetta 1? :)

[Concertoine]

i personally don't get the comparison of bayonetta 2 to a ps3/360 game. This runs at a higher resolution and full framerate, and considering Platinum's best looking 360/ps3 title that came out only a few months ago (metal gear rising) doesn't look half this good, and runs at 720p, i'd say bayonetta 2 looks great.
even the best looking action game of last gen, GoW:A, was only a smidge above 30 frames and 720p.

[Prime_28]

Agreed. Bayo 2 is confirmed to be running native 1080p 60fps. It's going to look amazing.

[mydyingparadiselost]

I'm so excited for Bayonetta 2, among others, can't wait to play it. This will be a game worth buying a U for.
