This looks more laughable the more I see of it.

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

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.

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

"Please buy our game"

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

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

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.

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.

Are you kidding? Ninja Gaiden was an excellent hack 'n' slash, but it was artisticly repulsive, and featured some of the worst dialogue in gaming history.

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 :/

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Am I detecting something bubbling under the surface *cue penius gag* from members in this thread, talented arrogant male douche bags are fine like Dante, or Leon Kennedy after his special training in America but when a female character does it, gamers cry foul at how stupid and annoying the idea is they refuse to buy it.

If anything I think its great a game wants to take a younger sexier Sarah Palin and do away with her nutty right wing banter, it shows her inner human, beauty pagent dignity; and as much as myself and 23 other people liked Okami, Clover well made God Hand and still went bust...no wait there is no moral to the story here, gamers just suck :P .

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.

Was being tongue in cheek about it, regards generic aspects, dev made the hugely influential DMC and was foolishly snubbed by Capcom on the sequel (the third game faired better) so really this is the true long overdue sequel to DMC.

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.
