Regardless, if you find yourself able to keep up with all of the crazy action going on here, then you should probably check to see if you're Sonic the Hedgehog.

So here's a quick list of what we have so far;
Gun feet
Supexling dragons
Middle finger keys
Chainsaw blades
This game...I want it. Reason? I'll take this over-the-top ridiculosity over the generic copy/pasta shooters, thanks.

Game looks flipping fantastic, but the whole leather'd librarian motif is bothering me for some reason. Leather, good. Coy librarian, also good. But mash them together? Hm...perhaps I'm just too picky

Anyway, for some odd reson it kinda reminds me of devil may cry, I don't know why but it does.

What's with the Sonic the hedgehog music? It's totally putting me off the game.
Although I do have high hopes for this game - original devil may cry maker and everything, but that music just sounds too tacky.
Reminds me of the michael jackson game on megadrive

I don't know why but Im just not into this! Its weird because I love DMC but theres something about this thats just turning me off, maybe it is just too much... maybe Im growing up... maybe I should shut up...
Anyway, I think the lead looks awful which is a shame because alot of the enemy design looks so cool and yeah the sega music just doesnt fit for me and I love sega music!!
Basically theres aspects of this game that interest me alot and aspects that I just hate! Hopefully a demo will be released and the gameplay will be spot on and maybe all the crazyness will just mesh together to form some obsurd tapestry of crazy japanese awesomeness

A game you want to like, but will it stumble like Mullet Bitch.. I mean Bullet Witch?

So basically, the dominatrix with a posh english accent has taken over Dante's role of fighiting big monsters with big weapons, weilding twin pistols to keep them in the sky, and doing flips that the mind cannot comprehend......all while trying to remain as COOL as possible about it?
Fine by me, stick in the whip and tell me when to start, cos if thats not original compared to the boring white haired dudes with lots of belts, cloaks silent types I keep seeing in games since the Sephiroth entered the world, I don't know what is.

This game is so very Japanese. It NEEDS Japanese voice acting.
Although I imagine there aren't that many scenes of dialogue.

Looks like an awesome game. Reminds me of God Hand with how shamelessly over-the-top it is.

So, take DMC, remove all the regular guns and regular swords, replace with chick+boobs+hair weapons+bat shit insanity, and you get Bayonetta.

The game looks awesome and all, but Weeds is one of my favorite shows ever. There should somehow be a way to combine Joystiq and Weeds, two of the greatest things in the world, like that in every single post.

Is it just me, or does the logo for PS3 at the end look slightly different?

Why is it that whenever someone has a differening opinion on here it gets voted down.
Really, really pathetic.

If you call trolling and flamebaiting a differing opinion then of course it's going to get downvoted.

dude this game was made for me! you know why? because not only can i enjoy RPGs, Racing games, Fighting games, RTSs, MMOs and all other types of games, I love myself a good "Holy crap what the hell is going on?!!" button masher. in fact, i enjoy those more than most. I will BUY this.

It looks cool because it's high fantasy and not an FPS.* I really didn't even notice any "sexy" character designs or "over-the-top" action. It just looks like a real GAME that doesn't use gimmicks.
*If anyone gives me a list of games that are high fantasy and not an FPS that came out since 2008, I will find out where they live and stab them 500 times with my knife of indifference.

This looks like a lot of fun; it makes DMC4 gameplay and graphics look completely antiquated.

Oh my God. Gamers these days piss and moan about the stupidest things. It is a woman in tight clothes that is made out of her hair, with one of the sweetest asses I have seen on a video game girl in a long time, wearing hot looking glasses no less, fighting monsters with guns,swords and magic while flipping, twisting and spreading for our enjoyment while talking in a seductive voice.So what's the problem again? If Devil May Cry 3 didn't give you an orgasm with his over the top antics then this definitely will.

This game wasn't on my radar till now. Looks great. I wish these types of games had multiplayer though. The secret 2 player mode in Onimusha 4 was really fun, despite being half-assed.

Is it just me or does one of those girls doing the voice overs in this video sound like Lenneth from Valkyrie Profile!?

What is wrong with fast-paced, over the top action? You can stick to your boring millionth war-based FPS if you're so against it. I'm also pretty sure her tits are not the selling point of the game. Women have breasts, many people like breasts, deal with it. Why do some idiots feel the need to complain about such details?

I think my interest in this game just went down about 80% due to my likely inability to comprehend what is happening should I actually play it.

Every time I see this game I can't help but wonder how long it took the professional(s) playing these demos to memorize all the attack patterns, that is the only way I can rationalize a game that is supposed to be "sadistically hard" looking so fluid and dare I say... easy.
Posted: Jun 1st 2009 1:53AM (Unverified) said
Well, they did create the game, so I can see how they'd know the game in and out enough to make it look easy.

What was that line about the "eye of creation"? That made no sense whatsoever. That's why I don't like Japanese games, the writing is either incomprehensible or just stupid.

Game looked pretty crappy to me.
1) Ridiculous over-the-top fighting sequences - check
2) Stimulus overload - check
3) Stimulus overload to ensure that you miss the last generation graphics - check
4) Horrible voice acting - check
5) Button-mashing - check
It'll be a hit in Japan.
In the US, I foresee a LOT of used copies on the shelves only 2-3 weeks after release.

Something about those atomic bombs we dropped really screwed those people up.
Japan used to have great literature, mythology, poetry, and art.
We dropped a few nukes, and now everything seems written by an oversexed teenager on too many tabs of acid.
Heck, even the Metal Gear series (which I enjoyed) suffered from 80% of the storyline being complete and total crap.
