And nobody complains about Dead or Alive?
But Dead or Alive doesn't give new meaning to the phrase carpet muncher.:winky::winky::winky:
Viewing the trailer it doesn't seem to me like the "sexuality" is the game's main focus, unlike Tomb Raider or DOA. She doesn't even have ridiculous proportions.

The problem with this is that what we've seen so far doesn't make it clear if the is simply retarded or is really going for full-blown over the top of the topness. It's a Japanese dev, so it could go either way with such a ludicrously clad female character.
I hope for mega over the top, myself.
Thing is I find it to be funny that is the main topic of conversation even though in the end it will have little to nothing to do with what the game is about.
I.E. I don't really care...
But it is understandable that people will latch on to that little subject piece since other than hair dragons and gun boots not much is known about the game. So I'm just going to ride it out for shits n' giggles.
I guess you've never played God Hand or Resident Evil 4.
And her clothes are her hair. Which conveniently comes off when she's attacking or something.
The game would look just as awesome to me if it were a dude instead.

Granted, the company making it seems to have done pretty well thus far, but you have to admit that they're walking a fine line with these trailers. It's like the Chaos Wolf (or whatever it was called) of over sexualization; it's so snugly on the boarder of "insanely stupid" and "insanely awesome" I can imagine it wouldn't take much to push it firmly into either side.
And since we're making wagers, I doubt any developer would bother making such a game.
Actually...if a dude used his hair as clothing and lost more of it as he attacked I would complain.
Not because he's losing hair or anything but simply because I'd be wondering if he can also use his penis for attacks. I mean if he can elongate his hair at will, shouldn't he be able to do the same for his penis? And if he can, what type of penis based attacks would he have?
What happens when he gets excited or flaccid? Do we really want to know? If he were to somehow take damage to his penis...would that be considered massive enemy-crablike damage? How do the balls come into the equation? Will the character be able to unleash massive teabagging attacks? Will he use his testicles like hand grenades? What about regeneration then?
What happens if your character with this magical penis somehow fights against another magic penis wielder? What will you do when the uncomfortable crossing of swords becomes a factor? Tell your friends that you were drunk and pretend like it never happened? That may work in college but not in vidja games.
Then you have to take things like physics into the equation. Do we even have a system powerful enough to animate something like that? Answer is no we don't.
Really...I think it'll be another generation before we even have proper penis-based combat.
This thread makes it sound like the whole trailer is her wiggling her ass and taking suggestive poses.

Yeah I thought some of the scenes from DMC 4 were worst in regards to the crotch shot... But who knows the game isn't out yet. At least the offset her design a bit by making her look a tad harsh/slightly bizarre instead of a pure sex bomb (at least imo).
As for the game it self. I thought the boss scenes look pretty cool (e.g. the Zeus-like guy climbing/destroying the steps ).
NO THAT GAME IS TOTALLY SERIOUS ALL THE TIME
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH
Also, what kind of friends do people have that actually judge them for playing games with sexy characters, whether it's meant to be serious OR campy?
sketchyblargh / Steam! / Tumblr Prime
The rare gamer that somehow befriended militant feminists, yet still plays games with sexy characters in it
You see...God of War is different because Kratos is being a hypocritical, emo asshole most of the time.
However, I'm open to the idea of a sort of reverse-Godhand where the chick is super-awesome and everyone else is weird and gets pasted. It would only be fair.
But God Hand did come out before this game. By basically the same studio. So, yeah. Let the record speak for itself.
Edit: but seriously? Click that pic in my sig. It's nothing dangerous - another thread here at PA:G&T
And then check out the demo. Seriously.
And at least she's kicking ass instead of playing volleyball.
FUCK.
YES.
It's really just a game on its own, but you can see influences from both of those games in the little bit we've seen of Bayonetta.
On the other hand, past performance is not indicative of future returns. I mean, look at Peter Molyneux.
I think it might be better to compare them to Kojima - but he's not a very good analog either (apart from consistent quality - he falls short when it comes to accessibility or depth of gameplay). Really - outside of Team Ico - I can't think of another game crew that consistently delivers on style + substance. Their games always look incredible, their games always play wonderfully.
I mean sure, that stuff the Director wrote that I had spoilered in the OP is pretty big-for-your-britches talk, and should be taken with a grain (or cup) of salt. But, just going on their track record - even if this game becomes as divisive as God Hand - it'll be something incredible.
I reckon.
I thought this as well.
The Ass to crotch shot was sort of overshadowed by the pure destruction she was causing.
That and Pistol whips aplenty.
It made up for it with hoyay. Same with MGS. Stupid sexy snake.
Mad World is more of a spiritual sequel to Godhand.
Yep. I'm pretty sure I've seen a blatant pummel in one of the MadWorld clips. This seems like God Hand's insanity + DMC's action + a dial that goes to 11.
I know it's last page, couldn't help myself.
I liked it.
What the hell are you trying to mock?
