Bayonetta, also known as That Sarah Palin game. If you still have your doubts, watch the new trailer:
Brand fucking new E3 trailer
WHAT THE FUCK IS BAYONETTA
Bayonetta is the second game slated to be released from Platinum Games, that badass group that split from Capcom which used to be Clover Studios. You might remember this group, it's composed of several AAA developers, including Atsushi Inaba (Okami, Viewtiful Joe, God Hand), Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil 2-4, Viewtiful Joe, Killer 7), Hideki Kamiya (Devil May Cry, Pheonix Wright, Viewtiful Joe 2). Bayonetta is a part of Sega's 4-game deal with Platinum games, and is being funded and published by Sega.
Bayonetta is Hideki Kamiya's love child, his first return to the action genre he created with the original Devil May Cry. Kamiya is a rad dude who loves to talk shit, and has gone on record as saying that this will be the first action game since DMC to really do action well. He basically shits on Ninja Gaiden and DMC4 in several interviews (what a hero). For example:
Take THAT DMC4.
SO WHY SHOULD I GIVE A SHIT?
This game has so far lived up to the hype surrounding it, according to hands on playtests. But also because it's BALLS TO THE FUCKING WALL AWESOME. Lets start with the main character, Bayonetta:
That statue sums it up pretty well. Yeah, yeah... shit character design. But what makes her awesome is that she can do crazy fucking shit. Like, for example, her clothes aren't really her clothes - they're her hair, possessed by magic. And as you fight, it comes alive and takes on shapes like giant spikes or huge fucking boots which stomp the shit out of your enemies. And as they do so, Bayonetta gets more and more naked.
Thats just the tip of the awesome iceberg, though. Play Magazine's write up on Bayonetta sums it up nicely:
I WANT TO SEE MORE
Damn fucking straight you do. Here's a collection of choice media quotes about Bayonetta:

Thats just the tip of the awesome iceberg, though. Play Magazine's write up on Bayonetta sums it up nicely:
(Thanks to REZ from neo-gaf for this write-up)-Bayonetta drops F-bombs
-the right shoulder button dodges, by dodging at the last minute, Witch Time is triggered; this activates the purple world that can be seen in the newest trailer.
-you can practice combos during the loading screens; combos are listed on the side of the screen for the weapon you have equipped, and the amount of times you used those combos is listed as well. Loading times do not take long though, but you can opt to stay on the screen longer to practice by pressing a button.
-if you hold down an attack button in the middle of a combo, you'll cancel out the sequence with a flurry of attacks from your chosen limb. If you complete a combo and wait half a beat before tapping a button, you'll execute a deadly hair-fist or hair-boot attack.
-when you pick up an enemies' weapon, you have the option of using two different attacks, which drain the weapons' stamina until it breaks; or you can opt to use the whole stamina bar for a flashy special attack.
-Bayonetta can use her hair fists to lift up cars and throw them at enemies
-Bayonetta can reverse gravity and run up a wall and shift the camera to have that area as the new plane. (This can be seen in the new trailer)
-Kamiya predicts a playtime of around 12 hours. But "You'll be shocked at how much content is in there" says Kamiya.
-Each chapter of Bayonetta is broken up into 10 verses, with each being roughly two minutes in length. Some verses consist of a series of enemy encounters, a single boss fight, or a mad dash through a crumbling area. Some even allow you to explore, where you can break the surrounding to get items, or simply move on. At the end of each verse, you'll be scored based on how well you fought and how much health you have left, and you'll recieve medals for your score. At the end of the chapter you're medals are tallied and you recieve a statue.
-There are hidden verses within the set ones, these are discovered in many ways. (Think of them as the "secret" levels in the old Mario Bros. games)
-Some verses roll directly into eachother, linked by event scenes that sometimes have QTEs (also seen in the new trailer).
-QTEs appear in event scenes, certain boss fights, and in the "climax moves" used to finish each boss fight.
-Kamiya goal is to create a gameplay experience so deep that it will be impossible to experience everything in one playthrough
-Achievments and Trophies will be linked to the game engine in an interesting way.
-Also, Kamiya noted: "Don't think of it as 'There's no DLC for the game,' but more like 'All the DLC is already in the box.'"[/b]
-Bayonetta can use her hair fists to lift up cars and throw them at enemies
I WANT TO SEE MORE
Damn fucking straight you do. Here's a collection of choice media quotes about Bayonetta:
Play wrote:PLAY: I have a feeling Bayonetta's going to sell well
Kamiya: I always think that they're going to sell well. And they never do. I'm just as nervous about Bayonetta as i was about Okami.
Hashimoto (worked on God Hand): What if it doesn't sell?
Kamiya: I'm retiring (laughs)
Hashimoto: If you're going to say that, then why not just go back home to Shinshu already?
Kamiya: Maybe i will. (laughs)
IGN wrote:For those of you who have already seen trailers of the game, the gameplay mechanics are very similar to those found in Devil May Cry. Bayonetta moves around lavish, 3D environments, fighting enemies with an assortment of flashy moves and powerful weapons. Battles are very arena-like, as you progress from one section of the stage to another in a fairly linear sequence. Clearly, the highlight of the game's design is not the environmental exploration but the action.
And what action it is. Bayonetta can equip weapons on both hands and both of her feet, making her an extremely versatile hero. There's nothing quite as badass as blowing away rabid cherub monsters with gun-stilettos, and such a thing is commonplace in the Bayonetta world. Not only can our warrior use these more common weapons, but her hair is also a weapon in and of itself. Bayonetta can use dark magic to transform her hair into giant fists and feet, crushing enemies with an incredibly slick attack. She can also create torture devices like guillotines and iron maidens to finish her enemies in one swift motion.
...
During the demo, the first level I saw was set in a charming European town, where a small train car scooted happily down the street. In the next instant, the train car is a flaming wreck, sliding down the cobblestone road as Bayonetta effortlessly jumps over the twisted wreckage and readies herself for an oncoming opponent. Two fiery, wheel-like creatures spin into view and begin the assault.
The entire sequence just oozes style. Bayonetta moves with an almost unnatural grace and fluidity, making the entire game a visual marvel. She quickly dispatches the creatures with a glowing whip and some assorted gunfire, all while a jazzy piano track plays in the background. Once the fiery wheels are defeated, Bayonetta is attacked by two cherub-faced giants, both wielding massive axes that would certainly scare off the average gunslinger. But not Bayonetta.
...
As the first set of battles came to an end, the player was ranked on the previous "verse," or section of the stage. After that, it was on to more crazy killing, but not before dropping by the Now Loading screen which is an empty room in which one can practice combos. A terribly underrated feature.
The second level of the demo is when my entire face was blown off by maximum awesome.
As was indicated in the recent "Climax" trailer, Bayonetta fights a horde of frightening angels... on top of a giant clock tower... as it's falling... and being attacked by dragons. This is an actual, playable stage and it puts all other action games to shame. As the crumbling clock tower plummets downwards besides a seemingly endless cliff, Bayonetta and countless angels duel in an incredibly awesome battle. The camera swoops around to highlight the action, huge rocks rip through the scene and the aforementioned two-headed dragon is there too.

Just sweet motherfucking Christ :shock:
This game has been on the day 1 list since I learned who was making it. Trailer does not disappoint.
I forgotten how a 60 FPS locked game can look so beautiful
god damn that looks good
Watching the 720p version on my 51" HDTV
God fucking damn this game is gonna rule
EDIT:
OH FUUUUUUCK
I expected awesome
Like, really awesome
but FUCK, that was amazing. I loved the shit out of DMC1, 3, and 4, and this looks like it tops all of them. Damn.
This looks like the game I expected DMC4 to be.
Just finished the trailer.
Holy shit.
And yeah - I'm right there with you. It seems to be on a significantly grander and more outrageous scale than the DMC games, which is excellent.
Also, just started DMC1.
Is this game supposed to be hard or do I just suck?
It's still awesome though.
What? DMC is a very, VERY easy game. Do you have child hands? That could possibly be it.
It's my cock.
MY COCK IS LOCKED.
DAY 1.
Wait, what?
It unlocked after I completed the first level.
And I'm pretty sure I didn't die in the first level.
Actually, the marionettes are okay. It's the boss I'm having a little trouble with because of the GODDAMN CAMERA.
I'll be alright though.
if by bleh you mean bad
look at those god damn hips
they are wider than the rest of her body
wider than her shoulders
I'd hit it.
This game will be so awesome that it is unreal. I mean, it's like they took everything that is bad about gaming stereotypes in the character design, and made it even worse which of course makes it awesome. I mean, she has -that- figure and looks like a sexy librarian with a dominatrix complex and she is also a better bullet-witch than Bullet Witch ever was and her clothes are her hair which is also something to do with her magic, and the more magic she uses, the less clothes she wears! Want.
Gentlemen
Rev your cocks
no
Probably not. Sega am haet PC this generation.
That trailer was perhaps the best thing I have seen in ages. I hope this comes out soon. It looks to better DMC which suits me just fine
Also hotness
Youtube Channel!
And plaster it all over the box
It's actually on the 5th page, but never mind.
Is the 5th page within the 5th page?
Then you fuckers need to make more threads to make my claim true.
i'm pretty sure she could give birth to two babies simultaneously, side by side
Are those shotgun shoes she is wearing
Why yes. Yes they are.
Youtube Channel!
and I will never look at high heels the same way again
niiiiice
So much colour...i need to lie down
it's worth it
I can tell. Is this your first week of being the big 1-3?
