  • phycus #2 3 years ago

    anyone think the character looks like Sarah Palin?

  • jack_klugman #3 3 years ago

    Looks tits.

  • Eraysor #4 3 years ago

    This looks more laughable the more I see of it.

  • drumbaby #5 3 years ago

    Looks mad....please lose the Sonic-esque music in the videos though. Utter shite, even for Sega.

  • Tomo #6 3 years ago

    The artwork is very impressive. Some beautifully designed monsters in there.

    Game isn't going to be my cup of tea though I don't think.

  • michaelius #7 3 years ago

    The more i see it the more i wonder if it will be any good.

  • JediMasterMalik #8 3 years ago

    Capcom: "Look, our Protagonist now has boobies, BIG BOOBIES!"

    "Please buy our game"

  • jaguarwong #9 3 years ago

    Does no-one see that this game isn't taking itself half as seriously as you are?

  • illusiondance #10 3 years ago

    yays, looking sweet, some great design work.
    i just hope the music veers away from the electro emo rock that characterises DMC.

  • Golgo #11 3 years ago

    sega's pretty answer to capcom's devil may cry? this is being made by the ex-capcom guy who did devil may cry, so of course eurogamer were being 'arch'...?!

  • Pasco #12 3 years ago

    jaguarwong: serious or not, the character design is repulsive and her dialogue lines are the most effective brain-cell-killers. It's not witty in the least. Team Ninja games are more tasteful.

  • Stuz359 #13 3 years ago

    Who cares about taste? It looks very pretty and if the action at least matches Devil May Cry then surely it's a must buy for fans of the genre.

  • PameBoy #14 3 years ago

    Eddy: I think perhaps that was the point? Like "Even Team Ninja games are more tasteful". At least, I hope that was what he meant :/

  • JediMasterMalik #15 3 years ago

    That's what it sounds like he meant to me.

  • Krelle #16 3 years ago

    im on jaguarwong's side;

    This is being made by the ppl behind GodHand, Okami, ViewtifulJoe and MadWord. Dont you guys see the humour that runs thru all of those games? It may be cheesy, vulgar, stupid, gory etc, but the games are great and im glad there is gamedevelopers out there who atleast tries to do something different.

  • Riggers #17 3 years ago

    "im glad there is gamedevelopers out there who atleast tries to do something different."

    What's different about this? It's Devil May Cry with a hypersexualised female character. Hell, even the hair thing isn't orginal, from Medusa in Marvel comics, to whatsherface from Mortal Kombat, to the recent rash of East Asian 'girls with vicous hair' horror films, and they use the effects from the shadow panther things from the very first DMC.

  • Krelle #18 3 years ago

    Riggers: I spoke of the previous games Platinum/Clover has made. You should try them. Start with Okami.
    I havnt played Bayonetta yet, so I cant say how it plays/looks yet. You seem to know alot about it thou? Did you try it at TGS?

  • Riggers #19 3 years ago

    Krelle, I've played and completed Okami and Viewtiful Joe, which is why Bayonetta looks to be such a colossal disappointment. Not played it, just seen the videos and screenshots, and it just looks fairly...generic.

  • Krelle #20 3 years ago

    Riggers, alright. Lets just agree on that we disagree then. I think it looks rather promising.

  • 7creature #21 3 years ago

    Well, sex sells... Oh, and there are no "big boobies" there btw .-) Which is probably a bit positive.

  • Riggers #22 3 years ago

    Agree to disagree, Krelle? But doesn't the law of the internet dictate that we have to spend at least another half a page of posts pointlessly slagging off each other's point of view, before descending into personal insults? :P

  • Bennicus #23 3 years ago

    Riggers, Krelle told me a minute ago he thinks you have all the charm and sophistication of the stale waft from a dead hobo's crack.

  • Krelle #24 3 years ago

    Oh Bennicus, you shit! I thought you could keep a secret!

    One more time and ill let everyone know you were the Director of Sonic Unleashed ps3/360 and the driving force behind his mutation into a werewolf. You shit!

  • Bangaioh #25 3 years ago

    Yes, I think I'll have a hard time playing Sarah May Cry...

  • illusiondance #27 3 years ago

    ugh?
    anyway, this was in development a long time before the international press got a hold of the matronly image of that alaskan woman.
    (so zip it up and jog on)
    Some people have leveled pretty fair cynicism at the early images of this because of some generic elements but i have confidence Platinum can pull out some unique features.
    ... just got to pray sega doesn't do its 'hurry up!, don't care if its not finished' move again.

    It's a shame really - the scenery is nice, the other creatures seem very well done, but the look of the main character just completely puts me off (glasses + leather + supersexed = too over the top for me), and i'd have some doubts about the gameplay as well. Shame because most of it looks awesome, and I mostly love demi-fantasy settings.
