We'll see about this one...
 
I feel like Bayonetta is going to be a very polarizing game.
 
Reception may also be similar to something like Mirror's Edge.

Awesome! I thought this game would not be very good, but I think the total craziness really suits the game. Who knows if it will be fun for several hours though.

This game is a technical nightmare on the PS3 compared to the 360, half the frame-rate and twice the screen tearing, good job on that port Sega lol

Haha, the most vulgar shit i've seen in a long time. This is not sexy. Pretty freaking hilarious and over the top though. Will be watching this game. Will still be embarassed when i pay for it at the register.

ok, I'm a fan of Platinum games purely off the back of their founding members earlier work (and MadWorld) but this really does just look like DMC. I wouldn't mind that so much if it weren't for the pre-release hype suggesting this title to be the next evolution of the action genre. From this playthrough (and other videos) the combat, camera, style, pacing etc seem identical to DMC, with just a few added QTE's thrown in for good measure. Fine and dandy in and of itself, but not anything new or forward thinking. And I can see how people are desperately trying to keep excited about this, but there does seem to be an air of disappointment in general.

I know right.. the resemblence is pretty uncanny hahaha.
 
This game actually looks way better than I thought, I'm in the same boat as Jeff as far as the DMC stuff goes.
 
I might actually get it.
 
Also, there is an option for one handed play mode, Can anyone imagine what that would be there for? ... ^_~

This game succeeds where DMC fails because it knows it's absurd and embraces it, while DMC tried to treat the absurd seriously, even so far as to have MGS style cinematics in the last one.  It's still a button mash-fest, but at least it doesn't pretend to be anything different.  I also like how it's not aimed at the hard-core stylish action crowd and unplayable on anything but the easiest setting for most people.  They can set it to hard if they want, but I'd like to play through the game without throwing the controller every 5 minutes.

I always find it supremely amusing that people render things that are found in really old texts, that the Author specifically says NOT to render artistically. Why do people find it so hard to respect author's rights? Powers, principalities, seraphim, cherubim, angels, and archangels are probably best left undrawn in any way for a reason. Even if you don't believe in them, it is still disrespectful to the people who do believe in them and the books they are contained in that say you shouldn't artistically recreate them. Sony respected this with the Koran, why can't people respect the bible in that way too? Oh well, have fun playing a witch that kills angels from heaven.

Awesome quick look guys, Bayonetta is one of my most anticipated games of 2010 and it sucks that it was delayed because of how crazy this holiday season is. 
 
And in case you guys need a bit more convincing, the guy behind this game was responsible for for games like Resident Evil 2, the first Devil May Cry, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, God Hand, and more.

Wow, I was initially put off by all the weird "sexy" posing in the tutorial, but after watching the actual gameplay, this looks neat. Way over the top and silly, might be fun.

I felt sorta done with DMC after 4, this however looks cool, silly, but still cool. I love the set pieces with that giant tearing away the bridge and breaking the environment.

That's right, closet case, the game with a scantily clad girl is  "gay", better get back to your sweaty musclemen.

I haven't cared for this type of game since the first DMC but after watching that QL I am definitely interested in this one and will probably pick it up. It looks so over the top crazy... hopefully the full game can maintain the momentum that the demo had.

Got the demo (360) yesterday and have not been able to put it down since. The combat system is fucking deep. Every time I play I discover new combos and attacks.
 
Day one purchase.
 
P.s. the Japanese 360 is wierd.
