Oh for fucks sake. I don't want another fucking system and they pull this shit?
-
I'm sure Nintendo arranged for this exclusive--something no hardware manufacturer has EVER done when they're prepping a new system, oh no, never--just to slight you.
-
In the case of Bayonetta, it works out beautifully. Sega recently talked about how they were pulling back on everything except Sonic, Aliens and Total War, but with Nintendo publishing this, it can get funded.
I'm all for bizarre fast frantic action, especially if they can get the creative spark going, and not have to worry about porting issues. They're working with Mari Shimazaki again, and many of the head production team worked on the first title.
It's crazy, but I'm willing to get a Wii U for this one game. I probably dumped over 120 hours into the original; the combination of Bayo as a character, along with the fast control scheme that's easily memorizable, and the zany torture attacks, makes it a really fun game to replay.-
Also, if the gamepad screen could be used as a persistent inventory screen, as well as combo history tracking, that would be a brilliant use of the secondary screen, in a climate where we're worried about Wii U devs doing trite or useless things with the second screen.

Heh, I'm more inclined to get a Wii U for Bayo 2 than I am to get a Vita for Persona 4 Golden (sorry, Persona fans; I'll have to watch more quick looks to see if I'm willing to drop that much on a Vita; I might just hunt down a used PS2 and get the original).
After some analysis, there's speculation that the character in the trailer might be Rosa, Bayonetta's mother. I do remember Kamiya idly musing about the potential of a prequel, so this might have at least a section with events prior to the first game.
The gun is also not Scarborough Fair; aside from the color, it's also a single-barrel fixed gun, instead of the double-barrel break-open giant derringer. The jewel is the ammo source for the guns in the first game's fiction, so there's no need to worry about no magazine, and no break-open.

This is what you get for helping the consoles out instead of supporting the One True PC Master Race.
Seriously though, whenever I hear of someone talking about how much cheaper consoles are than PC's all I can think is how much that advantage is eroded when you consider how you have to buy multiple/all consoles if you want to be able to not be subject to being locked out of an exclusive, plus all the extra controllers, etc. And start over again every few years.-
I actually don't have any consoles at the moment. I've owned all three throughout the generation though, and I'll pick up a new PS3 once I have a TV again, as there's still exclusive titles I want there..and so I can watch my movies.
-
That's funny, I've heard from many PC enthusiasts that to stay on top of the latest and greatest, they have to regularly pay out for new cards, RAM and all sorts of other stuff.
Yes it is expensive to buy all the consoles or face being locked out of an exclusive but sometimes, and ironically in a news post about the WiiU, experiences can only be delivered on the console it was designed for.
I can't very well support the "PC Master Race" when I want to play the latest Zelda can I?
I'd rather support all games for all consoles/PC then pick my preference.-
If you want to play some titles from Japan, you'll have to at least get a PS3, unless it's a Nintendo published game. Between Bayonetta, Catherine, Persona 4 Arena, and GT5, I'm glad I got the PS3 (and the 360 for Bayonetta's native platform experience and high framerate). I only go for the best titles, that I preview to check if I'm going to be rewarded by the gameplay (or in the case of P4A, the story writing).
-
I was being facetious but you get what I'm saying, right? Your entry point into a console is less expensive, but you have to buy more stuff to support it, like extra controllers, cables (if they're proprietary), etc. Then you have to buy the other consoles at similar price points if you want those games. Once you're done you didn't really save any money compared to buying a PC, if your argument is centered around spending.
Now, if you could handy wavy and make all the consoles go away except for maybe a Steam Box you hooked up in your living room then all your games could play on your PC and your TV. That's why we're excited about Valve looking into hardware or putting out Big Picture mode.
That all sad I am a huge hypocrite because if Nintendo making their own hardware keeps the Zelda/Metroid/Mario flowing then by all means keep making them. Lord knows we saw what happened when Sega became just a software publisher.-
Good point, but on average I upgrade my PC every two years, and it runs me a good 700-800 bucks for a slightly-above-average rig. So after roughly eight years, I'll have spent about $2800 on my computer give or take. Ballpark math shows I've probably spent about half that on my consoles.
But that in mind, everyone's pc habits are different, so it's hard to really pin down.-
Yeah I go three years and I just upgraded mine, but I went a bit batshit this time and spent $2K. This was because it was an all-new PC from scratch and I also got two monitors. Splurged a bit. But yeah the comparison breaks down further because I use the PC for things other than gaming, such as development.
So by that token when the PS3 came out and it was $600, or when the 360 came out and everyone's kept breaking, I sat this generation out - except for the Wii, which I could muster up $250 in order to get my Nintendo on.

If all consoles went away then EA, Activision, and maybe Ubisoft would all launch their own consoles.
-
But consoles are generally huge money sinks, aren't they? Wouldn't EA be better off just making games and netting a much higher profit margin?

Your post makes no goddamn sense.

Wait... Nintendo's publishing? Not Sega?
Either way, I guess P100 wasn't the only Wii U project Platinum was working on.

Agreed. I wonder if this will be a launch window game.
-
I don't think it's that far in development; I'm guessing mid-2013 to holiday 2013. Platinum's deep into finishing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and there's also The Wonderful 101 (nee Project P 100, Kamiya's current project), which is a Wii U launch title.

This could be a worrying trend if Nintendo start buying up other games to publish, it was bad enough having to own 2 consoles but now this?
I really wish Nintendo would resort to simply developing games for other systems.-
Bayonetta 2 probably couldn't have been released without Nintendo publishing it. Sega's hurting financially; there was the rumor early this year that a Bayonetta sequel was canceled. It might have been from Sega not wanting to fund it, but also not wanting to sell the IP.
-
Well I really wish Sony would resort to simply developing games for other systems.
It's not like there's much difference between the PS3 and the 360 anyways, at least with the Wii U you have a novel control scheme.-
I actually much prefer Sony's UI and hardware. I'd rather see Nintendo jump out of the hardware arena and make multiplatform titles.
As for MS, I don't feel like anything they make themselves is terribly exciting and most of the games I like there hit both platforms anyway.

I will get a WiiU for this game IF it supports the standard controller and not the wack maxitablet.
-
-
When I wrote standard I meant a standard controller like the 360 or the dual shock. That would be the pro controller.
-
-
-
Megaton confirmed.
-
So they don't want Bayonetta 2 to sell?

Stop being so damn butthurt, Shack. At least we're getting a sequel. So what if it's on the Wii U? You can just play on the Pro controller if you really want to. This is the exact reason Nintendo is publishing Bayonetta 2 and making it exclusive: to get people to buy their system. And it looks like it's going to work.

Yes! Same here! Between Bayonetta 2 and Metal Gear Rizing, it'll more than make up for the crap that NG3 was.
-

Never played the first due to a dead PS. Since I'm getting the Wii U I look forward to this coming out down the line.
