Bayonetta dev hints at sequel reveal this week photo

[Image by anunfittingname]

We've been expecting the announcement of Bayonetta 2 since the original Bayonetta became a confirmed hit. There have even been rumors that at TGS this year, Sega and Platinum games will reveal both Bayonetta 2, and an all CGI movie starring the titular gun toting super witch.

Looks like we may be getting news on the game sooner than that. When a fan asked Hideki Kamiya "what's up with Bayonetta 2?" via twitter, he responded "this week... in a game magazine...". I suppose there may be some mistranslation in there somewhere, but is there really any other way to interpret something like that?

I have high hopes for Bayonetta 2. Though I had a few of issues with the character's histrionic, artificially sexual performance, I was still quite impressed by how she'd grown into a multidimensional individual by the game's end. Having Bayonetta 2 pick up where the original left off, with a lead that has come to the realization that she's more than just constantly horny death machine, could lead to some really interesting things. Stay tuned to Dtoid for more on the Bayonetta 2 if and when it happens.

I Highly approve. I didn't care much for her overly sexual character trait, but the game was smooth, fast, challenging, and fun. So, I'm for another game.

Naw. Bayonetta's attitude didn't "change" by the game's end. Her ostentatious, playful sexual attitude is a part of her character, and anyone not looking to be hung up on it like an issue can have just as much fun with it as she herself is.

I loved Bayonetta and had no problem with her sexuality- it was all in good fun. But I could not finish the game because the intense button mashing broke my controller! Please Sega, don't include quick time events because they distract from the story immersion and flow of the game. And pretty please don't demand insanely fast, controller bursting button pounding! Even my dick couldn't withstand such a pounding!

Her personality is part of her charm. It isn't meant to be taken seriously, it's supposed to be taken light-heartedly. I loved everything about the game (except for those odd, half-still-frame cutscenes).

Though, I'd be lying if I said I didn't find her incredibly attractive.

I didn't care about her character, like Devil May Cry 3's Dante - they were badasses that literally had a hundred more moves/combos than most action heroes such as Kratos, and were more technical than most could ever hope to achieve.

I can't wait for the sequel - it's just visceral, technical, challenging action done right.

YES, Bayonetta is one of my favorite games of this gen.


This means that the rumors are possibly legitimate of a Bayonetta CG movie, Since the rumored Layton esque 3DS rhythm game was True (Rhythm Thief).

Which means HOLY CRAP A MIKU 3DS game. Which will probably not be released in America. Curse you region lock, but I need my Miku fix. I might have to buy a Japanese 3DS.

How about we stop announcing announcements and stop hinting at announcements to announce something and just announce it outright.

Artificial Sexual Performance. Wow.....

I love when dudes attempt to sounds like they have the first clue about sexuality and women, and pose as on "their side" like Man-Feminists. It's OK. Are you a red blooded male? Do you like women? Do curves turn you on? It's OK. Its NATURAL. You don't have to pretend you care that a woman becomes an object once in awhile.

That is life.

Bayonetta's "sexuality" was part of her character. A very important part. Maybe you've just been programmed by the politically correct society to respond to normal and natural things with horror and reservation??? Might wanna look deep within and see if it really matters.

Women are held as sex object in this society FOR A REASON. It's not the only purpose they serve, but it is a very powerful thing. SO BE IT.

Men get bashed all the time on TV and in the NEWS. We are told we are worthless idiots that have to be led by the nose. Who's upset about that? Nobody. We do as we're told (programmed)

Aside from that...BAYONETTA 2!!! YAY!

It's OK....it's OK.

Hopefully Bayonetta does get a sequel in which the title character gets to punch a giant muscle bound bearded guy so hard that his head blast another crater in the moon while he mumbles something about her needing to put on some more clothes or he'll have her buried under a pile of rubble flung by his followers after roughing up his miter-wearing lackeys.

I didn't find Bayonnetta remotely sexy as a character. She seemed more like a child acting out in a way that she thought would bring her power, without understanding the source of said power or how it actually worked. It's almost like they were trying to tell you that she was really just a naive little girl or something...

Haha oh wait. I think the whole game just made sense to me. lol

The next game should have her be fat, same game play, just fat. Not a lot of fat female protagonists in video games. Ya know to represent all the fat chicks.....don't want to upset 33% of the gaming audience.

I can not wait! Not only my favorite game of 2010 but one of my favorite games ever (dat combat)! Heck I even own it (and have completed it multiple times) on both the 360 and the PS3. Bayonetta 2 and a CGI movie?! Can I direct deposit my $ right into Kamiya's bank account please!

A dev from platinum also recently said Kamiya's jokes sometimes go too far...

The magazine is out already and there was no info on Bayonetta 2.

Heck yes. The original Bayonetta was pretty good. I wouldn't mind a sequel.

Hell yes! Absolutely fantastic amalgam of DMC's technical action and complexity, Ninja Gaiden's soft lock and combo depth, God Hand's customization and focus on dodging, and God of War's grandiose atmosphere. Then, there are the tons of unlockables and the accessories can completely change the way the game is played. No content pushed back for a DLC release just to charge more fire the compete game.

The only thing I would request from this sure-to-be-awesome-if-true game is a fully functional PS3 version.

God, I hope this is true!

I'm a gay guy and I just found Bayonetta sassy and fun and campy! It's like, everything was in good fun, and I did not once feel like Bayonetta was yet another example of game developer sexism.
