They would fight at first, then team up and kick ass... you know, like Lady and Dante. Vergil will then cry himself to sleep that he got shafted out of co-star role in a game... after murdering a few thousand demons.

Well, Bayonetta once again shows off what she can do. Just watch her strut her stuff in these combo vids ripped from the main website!

Well, dunno how much of ya still care, but we now know a bit more! Information relating to Release Dates, that is.

Japanese gamers can look forward to their first date with Bayonetta October 29th.

However, everybody else will have to wait til sometime in January 2010.

While a bit sad, let's be honest; a game like this, as great as it stands to be, would likely get utterly Steamrolled by the competition that stands to come out around the same time. So, for the sake of America, at least, this is a good move.

But for guys like me? I may have to import another release. And the fact that the JP ver. may stand to come with an interesting pre-order bonus doesn't help.

Reserve the game at certain store chains over there, and before the release you'll receive "Rodin's Selection," a special soundtrack CD packaged with a pamphlet inside a neato-looking case, set up to look like a menu from the bar that Bayonetta's partner-in-crime Rodin runs.

The exact contents of the CD are a mystery, Sega only stating that it includes "sounds hand-picked by Rodin himself."

For those of us not keeping up, Rodin is the designated "black man" that you may have seen in some of the trailers. I'm hoping both he and Jeanne may end up being playable characters, with their own playstyles. Or at least, certainly with Rodin. Can't imagine a brutha, who's bald, no less, getting practically nekkid and summoning [parasitic bomb].

Finally, I leave you with this funny quote from a fellow gaffer.

It's like DMC had a baby with Battletoads and boy is it angry.

Well said!

Til next time...

I LOVE THIS.

We're gonna party like it's [tornado fang]ing '98 again next year.

Satoryu · **Reply #55 on:** July 20, 2009, 02:47:13 AM

it's not solving the problem, though. now instead of every big name title coming out around Thanksgiving, it's going to be closer to Valentines Day. more games need to be released in late spring early summer. we still haven't gotten out of this drought yet.

Jericho · **Reply #56 on:** July 20, 2009, 02:48:26 AM

Agreed to that as well though. More companies need to start realizing that summer is both easier on the wallets to schedule around and prime game buying time.

Pringer X · **Reply #57 on:** July 20, 2009, 02:55:38 AM

Doesn't really affect me though, I'm pretty much reduced to renting games at best. No job sucks eggs D:

But what says "I love you honey!" like Demon Hair Boot Gun chicks?

Holy [tornado fang]. I will be so disappointed if there isn't an ad campaign around this idea.

Satoryu · **Reply #60 on:** July 20, 2009, 08:38:12 AM

even more so if Sarah Palin isn't involved.

Solar · **Reply #61 on:** July 20, 2009, 08:42:52 AM

@PB: How about giving your honey said Demon Hair Boot Gun ass kicking powers? You know you'd both love it

Sadly, that's no easy thing is it?

Jericho · **Reply #62 on:** August 22, 2009, 01:58:10 AM

Just a random question from those who can follow this closer than I currently can, what are the chances of this game coming to PC as well?

Satoryu · **Reply #63 on:** August 22, 2009, 02:01:22 AM

i'd say pretty likely.

HokutoNoBen · **Reply #64 on:** August 22, 2009, 11:03:27 PM

Probably would rely heavily on if Sega thinks it's worth the time and money to do as such.

I mean, sure, Sega's got as many good people who can do a good PS3 port as well as a PC port, but they probably haven't let the fact that the PC port of DMC4 didn't do so hotly slip by them. That could be a possible deterrent, especially for such a "new IP" like Bayonetta.

Jericho · **Reply #65 on:** September 15, 2009, 02:26:33 AM

We have the first 30 minutes of what looks to be the undisputed Queen of Action Games this generation folks and it is piping hot. Handle with caution!

I don't think I need to add anything, the videos speak for themselves! Haters owned, this game kicks the [parasitic bomb] out of anything else out there.

And before anyone says anything about that opening cutscene, yes, you are playing it.

borockman · **Reply #66 on:** September 15, 2009, 02:32:32 AM

[tornado fang]! insta buy! if not already!

Acid · **Reply #67 on:** September 15, 2009, 03:31:57 AM

Jesus, this game is cheesy.

I hope it won't affect the gameplay in any negative way.

Jericho · **Reply #68 on:** September 15, 2009, 03:34:46 AM

At this point, half the fun is the cheesy and cheekiness of the game. The personality already sold me on the game months ago, but God damn, the action is magnificent. Like seriously, that first playable cinematic made me think of Super Mario Galaxy and Devil May Cry 3 all at the same time. My mind can't pocess so much good in one place at the same time.

Acid · **Reply #69 on:** September 15, 2009, 03:36:12 AM

Dunno, so far I like Dante better.

HokutoNoBen · **Reply #70 on:** September 15, 2009, 04:05:10 AM

Ahhh...yes....soooooooooooooo good, and soooooooooooooo bought.

And like Black Baron before him, Rodin is also a bad-ass. Clover seems to think that bad-ass bruthas have the "God Hand" gene in 'em!

I hope he's an unlockable playable. ^_^

GASP!!! it's gone by Sega copyright.

I could almost cry. I missed the awesome you guys saw. Dammit >:

Da Dood · **Reply #72 on:** September 15, 2009, 02:29:48 PM

I'm still mad at the delay. This was supposed to be my 2009 GOTY, Sega!

Acid · **Reply #73 on:** November 11, 2009, 08:00:58 PM

Ka-bump.

Got my hands on the soundtrack.

... I like DMC's music more.

Jericho · **Reply #74 on:** November 11, 2009, 08:12:45 PM

I wouldn't be surprised. Bayonetta really went all out for the gag appeal route. Not saying that's bad though.

In other news, rip it. Now.
