Video: In Bayonetta, your middle finger is also a key

by Majed Athab on May 25th 2009 3:30PM

What do monsters made entirely of hair, gratuitous poses and flaming middle fingers all have in common? They can all be found in the latest trailer for Bayonetta. It seems that every time we get a brand-new glimpse of Platinum Games' action title, it always manages to up the ante on the craziness. Last time, it was all about giving dragons suplexes. Now? Our leading lady uses her flaming purple middle finger to power up her motorcycle.

But it's not all about the absurd; there's also key info on Bayonetta's story to absorb ... which is, okay, rather absurd as well. A new blonde baddie was revealed in the trailer and it looks like she'll be our heroine's main rival. Check all of it out in the clip after the break. But please, try to maintain your sanity.

This reminds me of Fable 2 for some reason.

She fingers her motorcycle? That's just awesome!

Looks like the gaming equivalent of a summer popcorn flick, and I'm a big fan of those.

Look guys Dante got a sex change!

I think I'm in love. This game is going to be chalk full of awesome.

Am I the only one who doesn't quite like the character design? ... probably yeah, but I think noone would mind if they toss in some extra costumes :)

Am I the only one who thinks she isn't hot? Maybe if she lost the glasses.....and clothes....

Ive had enough devil may cry. Don't need one with a wonky accent to add to the list.

X this off of my shopping list.

Well the thing is.... look at it's roots.... you go from RE >DMC which was suspostu be RE 3 i believe..... ok.... DMC 1 was jsut awesome... i loved it.... yea it might be a bit corny and alot of back tracking( bayonetta.... .... the awesome-ness just re-invented...i am really excited for this.

and after the last video, the one with the Director, i don't think it is gonna be that hard to pull off all these moves. i have a feeling it is gonna depend on how you have your weapons equipped. since i think he said you can have 3 that are creatable. 1 to have on and 2 in the wait. i think..... whcih if that is the case and your moves are linked to your weapons(like in DMC) it wont be to hard..... Plus i think he knows from the first DMC since alot of people found it hard, that he wont make this to complicated.
