We brought you the rumor yesterday of Sega inking a deal to publish titles by ex-Clover staffers' Platinum Games, and a couple of new videos on GameTrailers basically confirm it. We're sorry about the quality (they're shaky-cam videos from a mysterious source), but we think you can get the idea. The first, seen above, is a super-violent Wii game called MadWorld.

After the break, you can find a clip from Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya's Bayonetta. It's a story of a girl with guns on her feet (based on the classic short story by John Steinbeck). Look for higher-quality versions of these clips to rear their heads soon with Sega's Gamer's Day taking place tomorrow.

[Update: It appears that (surprising no one) Sega has had the videos pulled down. Let's hope we get higher quality versions tomorrow.]

[Thanks, Fernando]

They're too busy going back and fixing all the comparison videos they rigged before they get busted again. Give them some time, it will take a while.

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!

You are about to lose control and you think you like it?

Looks like what a Sin City game should look like.

Madworld? Chainsaw? Crazy amounts of Blood?

Somebodies a Gears fan...

Noshino: May 13th 2008; 10:55AM

Dude be serious, and quiet. You get my point though dont you? Now shutty!

As we all know, Gears of War invented chainsaws and blood, but Halo still gets all the credit for creating shooters and armor!

xFenixKnightx: May 13th 2008; 11:43AM

Well of course we all know GOW didnt invent those things. But it sure as hell did make them popular.

Nigeria: May 13th 2008; 11:54AM

GOW made chainsaws and blood popular.

ok

samfish: May 13th 2008; 11:56AM

DOOM would like to have a word with you, Fenix!

He's right, but the second, and much older, bloody chainsaw game that comes to mind is a little gem called "Splatterhouse"

I have every game they've ever made. I'm so thrilled they're coming back!

I remember that short story. It ended with a insightful look into American life during the depression. It was so unlike all of Steinbecks other books....

Sega had the MadWorld video taken down. :(

Bayonetta is still up... for now.

Dammit, Sega! This is the Internets! Once something gets out, you can't hide it!
