'Wuhhh!!' See Bayonetta without its visual effects

by JC Fletcher on Jul 6th 2009 8:00PM

The latest post on the Platinum Games blog comes from an employee named Kudo, who is currently working on effects for Bayonetta. To explain what that means, he demonstrated what Bayonetta looks like both with and without effects in two video clips, embedded after the break. The fog, flashes of gunfire, and ... ethereal purple mist are all surprisingly important to the look of the game!

Discussing another effect, Kudo recounts a rather amusing encounter with producer Hideki Kamiya. Kamiya decided that he wanted Bayonetta's blood following an attack to appear as a rose, because, " If it isn't pretty, then it isn't Bayonetta!!" He then went on to physically, and vocally, demonstrate Bayonetta's damage animation. "She just goes, 'Wuhhh!!'" Kamiya said. "You know... 'Wuhhh!!'"

You can see footage of the results of that meeting after the break as well.

Lol at the "wuhhh" tag. XD

Wuhhh!?

As in: "Wuhhh, I've got to buy this!"

As in: "Wuhhh! Is it out yet?"

As Wuhh the f*** is this? ON or OFF

They lost me when a giant heel came out of a portal.

Trying real hard not to turn that around into a sexual joke. Just wait for it, it will be good.

Yeah, you mean like a vagina!!!! AHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

I was expecting better, Phizzy.

...is what SHE said!

With every passing day, I begin to believe Platinum Games is full of crazy and insane people.

This post confirms this. Then again they did brings us God Hand.

Wuhhh!

"Dragonkick your ass into the milky way! *MILKY WAY!*
Don't act like you dont like the Ball Buster! *Ball Buster!*
My arm, my arm, my arm, my arm, my arm, MY ARM!
I summon up the power of the God Hand!"

Sheer. Epic. Unbeatable. F***ING! Win!!
Just for the poor souls who haven't seen the ending credits of God Hand, and thus not experienced its amazing f'ing theme, here you go, my gift to you all.

@devilsei

You forgot the amazing line "God power keeps my pimp hand strong"

Beating GodHand and still owning it are to of my biggest gaming accomplishments.

"It's hard, it's hard, its' hard but it's fun, it's fun, it's fun"

Heh, I remember that part, but I wanted to include a small section of it, I'll let people who listen to it catch that and go "Wait what...? whoa whoa whoa... I need to hear that again!" :D

And I agree, that game just does everything right and is why I still play it (would never think of selling that game!)
Oh, and spanking women is just so right too....

Holy fuck that song is so amazing!

I was actually, quite, turned on my that!

Turned on by what? The potential of what she could possible summon out of those portals besides oversized feet or fists? (hehehe...)
Or her going "Wuhhh!!"

I was turned out by the fact that she can summon a gigantic stiletto heel from nothingness! She has nice feet. I'm into that sort of thing, nice feel and spiked heels on my back...

Even without the effects this games looks so awesome. Number 1 most anticipated title right beside Uncharted 2

Wuhhh!!

Yeah, I want this bad.

goty

wuhhhh!!

srsly, yo.
x]

it's gotta be the shoes

It's times like this I wish this whole video thing hadn't caught on. It would be much nicer to just see two screenshots than these low-res videos.

So... basically... this guy is responsible for making the game more brown, and adding bloom to it?...

Eh, what?

The first video is with the effects. You know, where all the CRAAAAAAAAAAAZY colors come from.

The second video is without the effects.

It really is just DMC with ribbons on... *realisation*

When are we gonna stop seeing games where the AI suffers from dumb soldier syndrome? It'd be better if they were all on you at once which would force you to play smarter.

I SOOOOOOO can't wait until Rule 34/nude modes hit online.

Hate to break it to you, but modding on current gen consoles isn't easy.

I'd love to see what else gets put under "WUHHH" tags.

Sonic golden rings?

I thought she was collecting white blood cells.

Because, you know, this game is going to be able to cure AIDS.

the wuhh sounds like Crash bandicoot.

just sayin'

Yeah, you think the guy swinging the weapon at the end of the second video is about to be having a bad day?

I can see myself playing it without the special effects, when they are on it just makes me nervous.

"Wuhh"

The Official Onomatopoeia Of Joystiq

Is she shooting lazers from her feet?

Best sentence ever?

Reminds me of a crazy Killzone presentation, where they show you, layer by layer, how they add the effects, impressive stuff

I couldn't even see the giant foot coming out of a portal when the effects were on. It just looked like a black column.

Wuhhh! I want this.

Looks exactly like DMC4. Which isn't a bad thing.
