Bayonetta creator wistful over possible Jeanne spin-off

Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya would like to make a spin-off of the OTT action game, starring the titular witch’s opposite number, Jeanne.

WTF? For a start, Platinum have since made a great PS3 version of a game(Vanquish), didn't make the Bayonetta port themselves-should have done-but didn't and the Sega made port, though a bit wonky before the patch, is perfectly playable after it. Sure, it wasn't as sharp as the 360 version but I had both and STILL found it better to play on the PS3 because the controller as better suited(for me) and had it been bad enough I WOULD have changed my habits as I did with the truly awful Orange Box version on PS3-which was THAT bad, Bayonetta just wasn't that bad. At least,it wasn't as bad as people made out-a bit of slowdown and some longer loads and most was negated by that patch any case it's just that the patch wasn't out for the reviewers.

Way too much made of the port for me-Sega didn't do the best job but Platinum could have done it themselves and I felt Sega got a bit too much stick when the patch actually cleared most of it up-for me at least.

EDIT-Anyway-point is any new spin off would be fine, as Vanquish was, as Platinum clearly know how to do a PS3 game now so you'd be cutting off your nose to site your face-a Jeanne spin off would be amazing, imho.

Perfectly playable? We have different games... all that blur and sometimes framerate drops... no, next time i will wait for gameplay videos...

Well I haven't played the ps3 version, I'll would still like the spin off or Bayonetta 2

gypsygib4726d ago

Please don't. Bayonetta was clearly the better character, don't take an already excessively ridiculous game and make it lame.

Bayonetta had amazing gameplay but the music and story were incredibly stupid, a Jeanne focused will just make that worse. Also, why develop a character only to abandon her in subsequent games.

I want Bayonetta 2! :) first one, was one of the best action games I've played :) Platinum FTW! :) ..better make bayonetta 2 and when you finish the game (not short) , you can play spin-off like a bonus :) like in RE4 ada's missions or something..

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
