Bayonetta First In-Game Screenshots Revealed

Sega has released some new screenshots of Bayonetta for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the latest Famitsu magazine. This new action will be released next year in Japan.

[Fishy Fingers]

Need direct feed shots not scans before I cast any real judgement. From what I can gauge though it looks really nice.

[MK_Red]

This game is from creator of original DMC and people of the RIP studio, Clover (Okami).

Also, check the second scan and the middle part of the page. Bayonetta's clothes are her hair and when she's using her hair, she's completely naked...

[CloudsEnd]

Im in love with that Bulletwitch with damn damn damn damn demonic long hair.

[PLASTICA-MAN]

So this is the game supposed to rival the almighty "GOD OF WAR III"??????????????? MY ASSSSS!

May be the GOW for mobile! lol
This looks like a crossover between DMC and onimusha, and always the same capcom universe and atmosphere with the same monsters and demonic locations! FFFFFF
thinking about 'Déjà vu"!

[morganfell]

I am not seeing this great game they talk about. I can't get past the entire mechanic of guns on the feet. It worked for Quentin Tarantino but this is different. I would rather see booby gunned fembots as dumb as that is.

Every time some game gets bragged about like it is the second coming - and long before it is seen - it usually means the game is doomed to mediocrity. Black anyone?

Besides, this entire thing smells like the cousin of Bullet Witch.

[Harry190]

out of context. He said he wishes to exceed GOW,it does not mean that he will do it. You must give him the benefit of the doubt. In fact Kamiya views GOW as the trend-setter, or big daddy of the genre. You can't blame him for trying.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am a huge GOW fan too, but dissing other games just because of an unfortunate comparison is plain stupid. There are tons of great games out there and it would be sad to miss on those simply because you are too enamoured with GOW. GOW is the cherry on the cake. Bayonetta the icing.

[PLASTICA-MAN]

You are right! Let's give them a chance to gain some easy money (as if they are in need)!

[meepmoopmeep]

those are 360 screens.
the PS3 version will be superior

:)

[Veryangry_bot]

And I also dont rule out any money/hand shaking in a backroom either.

Lmao half of these shiatty sites praised this game because CGI trailer was pretty. I wonder why they praise one game, but bash others (like KZ2) for being "impossible". Perhaps because one was Sony and the other was not.

[Final_Rpg]

Ewwww, mole under her lower lip...

[game4fun]

I definitly don't like this game...

[fishd]

I can't belive kotaku said this game looks better than Heavy rain or KZ 2,anyway it will be a kickass game just like okami,in Kamiya I belive:)

[PLASTICA-MAN]

BUT ALSO BETTER THAN GOW3: http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...
(Look at the open zone)

[Pennywise]

I dont believe a word they say. They are a bunch of Sony haters.

NO multiplatform game or Xbox Exclusive can touch the graphics of a Sony in house produced game. NOTHING. I've played them all and nothing comes close. If the gap is not noticeable for some people, I promise it will widen in the next few months.

[juuken]

You should know kotaku by now.
They're a freakin' joke. -.-

I'm a little excited for this game (it does look cool) but seriously, do NOT compare it to Killzone 2 and Heavy Rain.

Those games look amazing so far and I hope gameplay is just as amazing.

[EDMIX]

Okay this game doen't even look anywhere near RE5, but better then Killzone 2 and Heavy Rain? okay? Answer this, if i just showed you the first screens would YOU be saying the same? The first screens i saw look like B level action stuff nothing HUGE and AAA looking in looks. You have to be really blind to think this game looks better then any of Sony's first party stuff or anyones first party's stuff.

[MiloGarret]

Actually that was Hideki Kamiya, the creator of the game... Can you blame a guy for hyping up his own game? And he said it was his ambition to create a better game, not that it WAS better.

[Lyan]

To be honest, I've never really been impressed with this game. I'm not sure I really follow the hype surrounding this game either. I don't mean to sound like a homophobe, but who wants to run around as a women in tight leather and high heals that look ridiculous. I don't mind playing as female characters, some are badass (mirrors edge), but this is just weird. Art direction is okay, but nothing that really says wow. It looks like it is aimed at an Asian audience. Yup, I went there, so I guess I'm sexist and racist. Just joking.

[Harry190]

Don't like homosexuals. Bayonetta or whatever her name is a homosexual?

Nah, I think you meant that you are not a macho or male chauvinist.

Sorry, had to point this out.

[nieto2]

the game looks like a DMC rip-off but with a female. high heals with guns, WTF?! and it seems the girl's primary weapons are guns? what is this? an attempt of a japanese studio to make a shooter but with a chick to attract japanese gamers?

[kingme71]

Looks a quite a bit like DMC4 in the art style.

[CaptainHowdy]

this game makes up for the atrocity that is dmc4

[uHuRu]

be surprised if this game turns out to be better than Devil May Cry 4, Kamiya himself is making the game. DMC 4 was a huge disappointment.

[kingme71]

I think I saw her va-jj in that last shot.

[Heldrasil]

there is a gun hiding in there as well...

[micro_invader]

Lol, bubbles. Hilarious! :D

[King Me]

looks haaawt

[Pain]

and the games not bad ether. ~.^

[Reibooi]

Everyone who keeps saying this isnt gonna rival all those other games need to shut up and think. When Kotaku said that they thought it looked better then Heavy Rain and Killzone 2 they were probaly referring to the fact that the game is gonna be a funner game to play then the other to. Not to mention most of the press has seen alot of the game in motion and stuff that we cant yet imagine. Personally I think it looks better then GOW because all GOWIII is gonna be is the same old game with far better graphics and for me thats Meh.

[godoftime]

what this game can do

[morganfell]

Well that is rather the point. Too many people are already saying the game will do everything. Then when I say it may bomb they come up with the "Let's see". Do people not see the issue there?

I am not referring to you personally but rather to those people that are trumpeting this game with no proof. My saying it may not work out is little different. In fact, considering the odds of having a good game the numbers favor my view.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I'm not so much concerned with the graphics as I am the gameplay. The man knows how to re-invent genres and even create new one's. Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and Devil May Cry are some of the greatest games ever made.

Also, he's already surpassed God of War. Devil May Cry 3 is and probably will be for a long time...the greatest action game ever made. I did love DMC4 and I love the Devil Bringer...but the back-tracking got a bit annoying. The story was really good, but every once in awhile, the dialogue repeated itself during cutscenes. Awesome love story though. It was clever when it needed to be...and the personal issues Dante and Nero have are awesome. It just didn't explain itself in many areas. I'm hoping Dante and Nero are both in DMC5.

[Tacki]

Kamiya only worked on the first Devil May Cry you know? I'm not trying to argue on which is better - Devil May Cry or God of War - but I'm just saying that he didn't work on Devil May Cry 3.

As for this game... it's really hard to tell how good it looks from the scans. I'll reserve judgement on how visually pleasing it is till I see it in motion (hopefully at TGS) but it's the gameplay that matters anyway. As long as that's solid I'll probably buy it. IF I were to go by the scans though I'd say that it's not as impressive in the graphics department as I've heard some make it out to be. Perhaps it's just the scans though. We shall see.

[pwnsause]

the game no doubt looks good, graphically better than DMC4

http://www.gamekyo.com/vide...

im anticipating this game, definitely since i'm a DMC fan and all.

But no way can you compare it to a game that is not even out yet and is a first party game, which is God of War 3. God of War 3 is looking to become better looking than Killzone 2 and with even better gameplay than God of war 2.

[MvmntInGrn]

most likely and adjusted DMC4 engine, which is fine since RE5 is using it too.

[NewfZ]

Uhh wait, did anyone notice shes butt naked in the second scan there, look at the left page towards the middle on the second scan. O_O

[Rusted]

The heroine looks real slutty... and i mean REAL.

[kewlkat007]

As long as the Gameplay is fun...

[MK_Red]

This game is gonna rule. Can't wait.

[FwanK]

That is a hot witch!

[HairyBrownSack]

lol, asian devs

[leftbehindxp]

Can't wait for this game. But I really want to see a video of it, or better pictures though.

[Doctor Strange]

Hopefully TGS shows more of this title. I'm excited to see how it will turn out.
