Is this also the same for Sammy, the other half of the company?
I truly enjoy Bayonetta and honestly, this shit hurts. Yes, I’m glad that the game is finally coming out after it’s apparent cancellation in January. I understand that Nintendo stepped in to take over the publishing due to monetary reasons. But damn, I wouldn’t think that this would be on the Wii U as an exclusive.
For shits and giggles, if Bayonetta was originally on the Wii, I could understand that.
But, Nintendo is pretty much saying, “Fuck yo fan base. Buy our shit because we can FINALLY contend with the big boys and we have something you really want but can’t get anywhere else. Oh by the way, it’s $400 (costs of the deluxe console and game roughly). I don’t care if you don’t want any of our shitty games, you know you want dat Bayonetta.” I guess this move can be interpreted as the Wii U no longer being seen as an expensive paperweight but making a strong move as a hardcore console.
Nevertheless, I still won’t buy a WiiU. I’m not going to put down so much money for a system just for 1 game. Besides, I’m kinda sick of playing Mario games. To me, no Mario game has interested me since Super Mario Brothers 3 and Super Mario World.
The new thread of man-children crying.
I think it should mentioned again that Bayonetta 2 WAS being developed for the PS3/360, but it was cancelled. The Wii U version is the revival of that project and is a second chance for the series.
It has nothing to do with development costs or anything, the original game didn’t sell enough for Sega and they didn’t see the point of continuing with a sequel on the other consoles, which is why it was cancelled. If you’re going to thank anyone, thank Nintendo. They’re publishing the game.
Call me a fanboy if you want I dont really care. Do you really think any of the other big 3 would have paid to have a game made like that and would have just asked for more profits? They did not screw over fans by making a game possible. Guess what you also dont have to buy the system if you have friends. Get a friend that has the system and play the game on his system. This way you are giving the finger to Nintendo and you get to play the game. Win win for you buddy.
Everyone bitching about Bayonetta 2 not coming to 360 or PS3 because they don’t want it to fail compared to DmC should just get the other Platinum Games developed action game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance or just NOT buy DmC.
Still looks better than DmC
lol @ the people in this thread saying that they fucked over fans.
Get over it as that isn’t even the case. This game wouldn’t even be released if it wasn’t for Nintendo. People who are fans of the original game should be excited.
People get mad that Nintendo has no third party support and have child like games. They come out with Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, and NG3: Razor’s Edge and then people bitch that it is exclusive and that isn’t fair. Nintendo just can’t win.
Child please.
And i can see already the game not making enough money on Nintendo neither, Why?
Because the fanbase of the game is not on the nintendo platform, and i am sure that not many of them are willing to buy their console for one single game.
Add that the Nintendo fanbase are not necessarily interested on this game in particular.
If the 1st Bayo didn’t sell well in 2 consoles do you really believe that this new one would sell well in a single one where probably the major part of the fanbase of the game is not interested on the console and more than probable don’t see a single game as enough motivation to buy it?
Sony and Microsoft could very well have picked it up. Hell, another publisher might have. How do you know Nintendo didn’t put the most money down? And what’s with this shit about people saying that they know why Sega cancelled Bayonetta 2? All anyone ever said was that a random ass anonymous source said it was scrapped. Nobody said why, nobody confirmed it existed until today, and the people involved with the game were being incredibly coy about it the entire time. Meaning that, there is an equal chance that people were interested outside of Sega, and Nintendo just happened to put the most money down. Now I’m glad Bayonetta 2 is coming, but it’s like taking x fighting game, giving it a much needed update…then putting it on the PSP or 3DS only. Like…what the fuck, man? It just doesn’t feel like a good decision on any level outside of, well, being Bayonetta 2.
The one thing I do hope is that nintendo allows this game to be played with the Pro controller because I am not sure if playing on the tablet controller for some odd hours will be comfortable for Bayonetta.
Even if it doesnt sell well you still get to play it. All that means is no Bayonetta 3.
I will say this though, Microsoft did publish Ninja Gaiden 2. Then NG2 Sigma came on the PS3 with some changes (no Tests of Valor was disappointing) when Itagaki left the company to start up Valhalla Game Studios.
I don’t know if Bayonetta would go this route, but only time will tell.
Because Nintendo was willing to pick it up. Developers have to shop their game around and hope someone wants it.
word, for the love of god lets stop with this console conversation, bayonetta deserves better then that. lets move on to what we want to see in bayonetta 2 and what can go.
thing that can go, and i dont expect its return is the flying level. that shit is a dizzy fest, and simply just annoying. creative and interesting to put in the game, to take you out of the redundancy of hacking and slashing for new fans of the genre, but that shit can kick rocks.
this is what i hope they are doing above all else
MAKING BAYONETTA 2 AS IF THERE IS NO CHANCE FOR A BAYONETTA 3.
look at what they already had to go through just to get bayonetta 2, so if i were them, id pile on a ton of shit into bayonetta 2 and make it the ultimate sequel.
what i want to see return
- controls to stay the same for wiiU pro pad users. copy and paste that control scheme over for us please
- all basic combat elements including witch time, all the way down to bullet climax
- turture attacks. for the love of good MOAR TORTURE ATTACKS
- wicked weave attacks, and MOAR of them
- of course more infernal demon summoning finishers, and maybe add more ways to control which one you want to summon to do the killing. maybe make it that after beating the game you can add an accessory to allow you that skill.
- BRING BACK ALL THE FUCKING WEAPONS AND JUST ADD ON TOP OF THAT. please for the love of god dont take away those awesome weapons, keep them, add new moves to them, and add more on top of that. i would also like to see custom colors for the light saber weapon. just a nice little added bonus.
- keep the cutscenes the same where your custom outfits are in the actual cutscenes also. i enjoyed that a lot.
- i didnt mind the items and concoting of compounds shit. they can modify as the please, but for the most part i enjoyed it.
- moar custom outfits, and PLEASE GIVE ME THAT TEENAGE BAYONETTA shit you were talking about kamiya. he said in the original bayonetta that at first they had bayonetta turn into a teenager when her magic depleted, but they just didnt have time to fuck with it so they eventually took it out. bring it back as a costume.
- PLAYABLE RODIN!
- cant think right now, but basically keep to the same formula of bayonetta 1, and just ADD on top of what was already created. create this game as if it were your last, because it probably will be.
i have faith in you, team of bayonetta 2. from the sound of things over time, is that the ideas for bayonetta 2 were already in place, they just needed dat cash to get it out.
for the love of god nintendo let bayonetta 2 before for mature audiences. it absolutely cannot sell any other way imo. keep the mild cursing, sexiness, and violence in the game. do try to nintendo that shit all up, and i expect to see cool little nodes to nintendo throughout bayo 2. maybe a princess outfit for bayonetta. lol
Like i said in my previous ost, as far as it is right now, there is not enough reasons for me to buy a WiiU, Bayo2 is not enough, if the games library happens to get better with the years then maybe, but right now, outside Bayo, there isn’t a single game on the current library that warrants me buying the console.
Plus the previous experiences where all my Nintendo consoles become a glorified paperweights, it is so funny how my SNES gets more play than the 64, GC or Wii, hell even my NES gets more play.
As said in NeoGaf from MormaPope:
"No one has a problem with Bayonetta 2 existing, but the fact that it’s being released on a divisive console makes this situation shitty for Bayonetta 1 fans not interested in Wii-U.
Why is this idea so hard to understand? Buying a console for one specific game is never wise, there will be other decent games on Wii-U, but I’m not interested in any of those games."
This.
Was on the fence about getting a WiiU… not anymore.
I’ll get to play all those awesome rpgs I missed on the wii as well. Win-win situation for me.
You have to consider that this appearing on a brand new console fairly early in its lifetime. That’s a prime period of launch or close to launch title to sell well, considering that buyers of the console are looking for titles to play.
So granted that the Wii U sells well, this game also has a great chance to surpass the original.
I’d rather see than the world end in a few months than live in a world where my dream of Bayonetta 2 was crushed like this
Like I said before, they’ll probably have to redo the game instead of simply porting, just like the Sigma games.
The problem here is: will SEGA go through the trouble, being the assholes that they are?
