Bayonetta director talks about Bayonetta's boobs

"A lot of games have female characters with big boobs and show a lot of cleavage. That's not my personal preference or my personal taste. That's not very sexy at all. Normal size is more than adequate. Being sexual in a mysterious sort of way is more sexy than baring it all." -- Hideki Kamiya, Director of Bayonetta.

Everyone knows in N4G, in order to hit 1000 degrees, is with a title
" Bayonetta on PS3 will look worse than Xbox360 " or the other way around.

So a guy who created a naked woman that is coverd in hair for clothes, says other games females breasts are too large and therefore exploiting in some way.

Again, A guy who creates a naked female that is only clothed by her hair, thinks other games are too sexist.

Maybe one more.

The guy who made devil may cry, made a game that is a carbon copy but instead of a devil it's with a naked chic coverd in hair and he talks sh!t about other games?

"Before Hideki Kamiya acted as the director of Bayonetta, he created iconic video game characters such as Leon Kennedy, Dante, and Amaterasu. Besides being owned by Capcom, these characters have one other thing in common. They’re all male."

I'm pretty sure Amaterasu is not a male. :P

well..nothing important:/ The article was just too short:/

I have to agree with the man about the overabundance of slutty "bare-it-all" female videogame characters.. taking a more tasteful route is much more sexy. Although, I don't exactly see Bayonetta's main character being very tasteful when it comes to sexuality.

[CaptainKratos]

why is that?

[OGharryjoysticks]

He's the leg and foot fetish type

110%

what's wrong with having them though? I think, for gamers, as long as the game is fun to play, that's all that matter! dev can put what they want in their game, but just don't forget to include "FUN" as well!

[Timesplitter14]

I find Bayonetta to be quite unattractive.

[xabmol]

She's got that hot librarian look goin on.

You sayin that you wouldn't visit her "library" and check out a few "books?"

[RememberThe357]

lol

I have to agree with both of you. She doesn't necessarily look great. But she does have that sexy mysterious look. Lets just say, if she was real... I'd rock them drawls.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

[TheCagyDies]

[aaron5829]

Everyone has their preference...

[RememberThe357]

PREACH!

[Redempteur]

i totally agree .normal size is the best !!

Well... his comment doesn't really match up to ESRB's rating description:

“A lot of games have female characters with big boobs and show a lot of cleavage. That’s not my personal preference or my personal taste. That’s not very sexy at all,” said Kamiya. “Normal size is more than adequate. Being sexual in a mysterious sort of way is more sexy than baring it all.”

Compared to...

"During the course of the game, some female characters perform suggestive taunts and poses, including opening their legs or gyrating their hips. Some of the more provocative outfits are shed during battle, resulting in brief depictions of buttocks and breasts. The camera occasionally pans close-up on breasts as they are jiggling."

Crotch and jiggle shots don't sound "mysterious" in the slightest. I think Hideki has some issues, but at least his games have been consistently awesome.

Oh, and seeing how the word "boobs" is in the article title, expect at minimum 600 degrees.

[devilhunterx]

did he just punch itagaki in the face?

[AngryAmoeba]

you want tasteful sexuality, look at valve's games. there isn't even really any sexuality, but the female characters are so normal that there's more of a realistic sexual intrigue, versus the cheap route of short skirts, cleavage, and boob bounce physics.
