A brand new trailer, the first in a long time, has appeared for Platinum Games' ridiculous hardcore action title Bayonetta. We finally get a little taste of the game's story, as well as some gameplay footage that shows off some boss combat. Also, Bayonetta herself is now a bawdy seventies English school mistress, apparently.
An official Japanese site has also launched, so if you're into Moonspeak, you can glean some information on characters and plot. The rest of us can at least gawp at some pretty pictures.
Bayonetta is one of my highlights of this year so I'm really looking forward to seeing what Platinum Games pulls out of the hat. The promise of a "sadistic" difficulty doesn't excite me as much as others, but I'm all about games where witches wear hair for clothes and promise "a good spanking." As we all should be.

Looks fantastic. Clover/Platinum have been always been on the verge of creating something really special but always falling just ever sol slightly short, I really do hope that this is the one.

I think that's the point. It's like Devil May Cry, only without some Capcom suit poking their nose in saying what you just said.
Hopefully it doesn't get too silly to care about because that's just as bad as it being too grim to care about, but I'm alright with ":D" being the the story. It's a game about a sexy witch with librarian glasses with a Godiva hair catsuit and guns on her feet who can apparently turn into what I'm going to say looks more like a black cheetah than a panther, with things on the shoulders that remind me of Amaterasu.
The plot (from what I've seen in the trailers) seems like the potential weak point of the game. Or this came could suffer from one of the only things the original Devil May Cry suffered from... having a little TOO serious of a story... ("Everlasting LIIIIIIIGHT" quote anyone?)
I'm not sure what just happened in that trailer but it all looks pretty epic. For some reason this has me way more excited than any DMC did, maybe just cause the fighting is so waaaay over the top. Story or not, body slamming dragons is pretty amazing.
Bayonetta has an uncanny resemblance to my wife. I just showed it to her, but she is not a gamer, and looked even less interested in this website.
Oh well, im buying.
I'm not feelin' it. but I also lost interest in DMC after the first game, so thats to be expected. man I loved that DMC demo that came with code veronica like 9-10 years ago...

Also, very clever hair use at 1:30.

... works for me.

It looks awesome. :O)
I'm excited.
Kidding aside, I hope this will be almost as good.
Still, it's made by Platinum, so I'm optimistic.
Plus, that header image is insane.
