E3 2009

Lulz, I'm really just ODing on the hype train.

However, I do trust Platinum Games (considering they are essentially Clover Studios) so I have no doubt in my mind Bayonetta is going to be good (at the very least).

MadWorld was good and when Demon Blade: Muramasa (VanillaWare FTW) finally gets released I'll get around to getting a Wii with those two games, along with No More Heroes and No More Heroes 2 (when it gets released).

I do give them props for having a female protagonist that isn't a blond.

other than that the game seems like devil may cry 4.5 to me.

I really wish Sega decided to use a game mechanic like the one used for shinobi III on the ps2 instead of making what is essentially their own version of DMC.

Bayonetta looks pretty sweet. Im a big NG and DMC fan. Ill get it fo sho!!

Anyone else like the project natal stuff. Im pretty stoked!! Cool technology that will change a lot IMO

Does nobody realize that the person that made DMC, Hideki Kamiya (had to look up the name..lol..), is the same person making Bayonetta? So of course it will be just as good as a DMC game and honestly will be 4.5. lol. But thats a good thing.

I mean... NG Black was probably, imo, the best game of its genre made so far. So to say this game is on par with something like that would be awesome. And If this game is as good as NG2's fighting but without all the glitches it will be a fun game. Hell, the only thing that fucked with Ninja Gaiden 2 was the lack of story (as the whole genre is guilty of) and the fact that there were a LOT of glitiches in the game (and the AI was lackluster compared with NG black.. higher difficulty only meant more projectile spam).

I'd love to see unique cool enemy designs but that comes after gameplay. And I love me some GoW boss cutscene interactive kills... Something I wished was in Ninja Gaiden games more than just the finisher system in the new one.

Yeah I'm not sure if Team Ninja is ever gonna learn that off screen projectiles aren't challenging OR fun, they're just annoying and an example of poor game design.

As far as the original DMC creator teaming up with Clover Studios members to make this, it'd take about that much to get me to play ANY game starring some half naked polygon nerdgasm titwitch in it. I'm willing to overlook this since the game looks so dope, but I know there's gonna be times where I'm just gonna have to shake my head and say to the devs "Come on man, just go outside once in a while, will you?"

And this is the ONLY reason I'm hype for this game. When I ever get excited for a game, I put developer over concept. The concept of the game is nothing spectacular but the company behind it knows how to make a good game. So I'm hype. Every Clover Studio game I've played I've enjoyed (Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and even GodHand). GodHand wasn't even that well received by critics. Granted, the reasons they didn't like the game (outside of the dull graphics) were silly (the difficulty). It's not as if Bayonetta is a complete "serious business" game. I'm pretty sure if you could put up DMC3's pretty boy bare chested Dante's extremely chessy lines, you can easily put up with Bayonetta. She has boobs. Dante doesn't.

DMC3's Dante was fucking annoying. Game was still good though.

Dunno when they mentioned this but...last night I was on the xbl dashboard and saw that Perfect Dark (N64) is coming to XBL Arcade ^_^ I looked around and apparently they showed it at E3. Not much was told about it tho...They just saw it running at 1080p with better graphics. I hope its online MP. I would gladly spend 1200-1600 ms points for it.
