IGN - Platinum's sequel is unapologetically over-the-top, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Bayonetta 2 is insane -- that goes without saying. Anything Platinum touches, from Vanquish to Metal Gear Rising, is drenched with frantic madness, especially the follow-up to their 2010 incredibly deep action game-meets butt rock-meets extreme violence-meets European architecture.
Playing through Chapter 2 of the Wii U-exclusive for the first time just reaffirmed my claim that Bayonetta trumps any other action games in terms of sheer insanity. Within minutes of the demo, I had done about a dozen “firsts” for video games. For instance, a mysterious NPC pulled a Moses and turned a lake into a long, walkable tube of water. But of course, I didn’t just walk through it. I animorphed into a panther and ran through that bad boy on all fours. Yep, that was a first.
Skewed and Reviewed kick off 2024 with a look at the need for in-person game conventions with the End of E3 and compares the cost-cutting methods of Hollywood who still value in-person events.
so, this article didnt tell me why we NEED to have in-person shows like e3, other than the authors nostalgia and remembrance of covering one of these shows.
but it also doesnt mention everyone outside of america who have never had the chance to see it in person either haha
we had to watch the darn livestream, if they had it available, at 3am in the morning haha with lags amd crashes (not all the time)
while i think these shows are great and all, i dont really "need" to have them. people are busy, im busy. id rather watch a livestream than to book a flight, a hotel etc.
but theres still pax and all of that.
I'd rather publishers send out closed betas to garner gamer concern and interest like how we had demos back in the day.
I don't miss E3 as much as I loved it at one point but that era is long gone.
Sad to see it go. It was a great event for gamers and developers all around the world getting together and celebrate gaming as a community.
The announcements of new games/hardware, hype, surprises and seeing live audience reactions, it's something only events like E3 are able to bring. It will be missed...
if its going to be anything like the game awards where celebrities that dont even play games are there and its just full of fluff and commercial crap than no we dont need in person shows. we just end up watching the trailer montages the next day anyway.
To be honest E3 was one of my favorite times of the years when I was younger. I couldn't wait for all the big conferences and new announcements. It was hype even if nothing good was announced we had cringe moments to laugh at.
During SDCC I spoke with Ed Boon and Thiago Gomes about Mortal Kombat 1 as part of a Roundtable.
This sounds awesome. This afternoon, Genvid Entertainment announced two, all-new interactive streaming series at San Diego-Comic Con: DC Heroes United and Borderlands EchoVision Live.

Yep people, Bayonetta 2 still fantastic.
It's bold, but I'm gonna say it anyways; from everything I've seen so far o it, and of the upgrades done to the port of bay 1...
This game, no, this celebratory collector's edition of the Bayonetta franchise, DESERVES to out-sell its initial miltiplat release.
It's staying true to form despite the change of system, and bringing improvements to all of the things that made fans of the franchise(such as myself) fall in love with it in the first place.
It would be criminally unfair if this didn't eventually outsell the original release; it's doing so many things right that I can only imagine Nintendo haters looking down on it at this point.
I'm hoping fans of the series will show more loyalty to the game than to its system and give it the high sales it deserves in the end.
I'm also day one
Now this is an action game. I really didn't like some of the comments regarding this game. Calling it a poor mans God Of War. I love GoW but this is a hardcore action game this is the DMC I have been waiting for.
One of the most anticipated games of this year, for me.
Bayonetta 2, Toad's Captain, Yoshi's Wooly World, Super Smash Bros, Sonic Boom, Hyrule Warriors.
Where are the gaming jounalists who said that Wii U has no games?
