You should, they're excellent action games and play more or less like this 3rd chapter, from what we've seen.
lol Kamiya's been on Twitter all day retweeting Bayo fanart and giving people shit for misspelling Platinum Games' Japanese name. King.
I have never managed to get into Bayonetta, so I'm not a fan. Still, some of y'all are being way too harsh on the visuals. Gameplay looked especially decent.
Wtf were some of you expecting from the Switch? From the comments here, I went into the trailer expecting utter garbage lol.

She looks so good. I can't believe we finally cyberbullied Nintendo into letting Platinum show her.
I don't know... The environments were quite beautiful and colourful in Bayo 2, even if they were linear in nature.
Rewatching the trailer just to focus on Queen B dancing while her summons do the fighting. She looks like she's having such a great time.
I like what I'm seeing but we only got a glimpse of the same level it seems. I'm expecting the final game to go into crazy directions.
And I'll join some others in this thread: it will definitely be fine graphically but it makes me wonder how much the hardware is limiting the team's vision.

The design is a bit messy ? Its all black on black on black.
I'm not sure I can see the details of her new hair. Her twin braids go under her armpit, knot in her lower back and keep going down to her heels ?
Her skirt is made of hair, another material ? Is it wore over her skinsuit or is it part of it ?
I also immediately tought of Scalebound when I saw the summoning part. So that's the reason why.
What games would that be? Don't say Nier Automata. I already mentioned Astral Chain. Wonderful 101 was their peak.
You'll probably get varied answers to this. I love Bayo 2, have really enjoyed Astral Chain but I was never really convinced by Bayo 1, it felt outdated when I played it and they made stupid design decisions like insta-kill QTE that kills the flow of the game.
As if we don't get people port begging for Persona 5 for the Switch or any other titles.
Oh man, I'm super excited that director X is going to be working on Bayonetta 3! I loved that unreleased game!
Regardless, looks a bit rough, but it's Bayonetta, so I'll play it.
Two of their best reviewed and recieved titles in their catalogue released in the last few years(Nier, Astral). So I don't get this weird narrative that they lost their way or something. They generally never miss with their big titles.
I'm seriously wondering if this is Bayo's daughter instead, it's a different actress as well as far as we know so it would fit story wise.
Pretty much the standard response for many since the Wii era, some still can't get over the fact Nintendo bowed out of the tech arms race.
Can't recall any game unveil/announcement where this hasn't happened with.
ah okay thanks, maybe I should just get the 1+2 edition to give it another try
Why is Bayo so tiny?
Some really weird proportions here.
Yeah I mentioned this earlier flippantly, though the reason is so she has space to move around in the environment, it is comical to imagine her trying to reach the top handles xD
In a real train would be impossible to fightWhy is Bayo so tiny?

She not smol, it just BIG TRAIN. But it okay, she can grab handle with hair.Why is Bayo so tiny?

There was a dev blog post during the making of Bayo 1 which explained how they needed to significantly scale up the environments to allow the camera to keep track of Bayo's crazy mobility. It works great for the grand cathedrals and fantasy setting of the first 2 games. Not so much when she's on a regular-ass real world train.Why is Bayo so tiny?

I believe they're pulling a Kojima-MGS2 Snake here. All of the logos for the game imply some kind of split
wouldn't like the game to focus on big kaiju-esque battles
Bayo started on 360 and it's ending on a Switch. I agree with the art style looking more boring and duller, but if someone was expecting DMC V visuals while maintaining 60FPS… The day MP4 shows up, if it's aiming for 60, it's going to be a 100page thread similar to this one

For me it's mostly due to art direction. The enemy designs are way below what they've done in the past, and the city looked drab as can be. I'm sure there are way more interesting enemies and locales in the game, but for now I'm just judging what I've been shown. This is the only first party Switch game that I thought looked worse than it's predecessor personally, but thats just me.
Silly Adam, she'd just grab the handles with her hair.
Or maybe she's one of those cool kids that doesn't need the handle lol
Since people keep thinking that Bayo 2 on WiiU looks better than Bayo 3...here are some comparison shots. All from Nintendo's official website. Nostalgia is one helluva drug.
Bayo 2
Bayo 3
I'm not trolling when I say this, but I do think Bayo 2 looks better here.
It's not so much about sharpness of detail, but more so the colours and overall look is better in 2.
The drab colours in 3 aren't helping, but then again, the trailer only focused on one area of the game, so it's not really a fair comparison even if I'm still preferring the art direction for 2 atm.
Judging by the trailer it looks like they're continuing to move int he big setpieces direction they went in with Bayo 2.
I loved the actual regular character action gameplay of the first game. It was soo good!
I Bayo 2 it felt like you hardly fought regular enemies. Feltl ike you almost couldn't take a step without getting thrown into huge setpieces like special battles.

Everyone needs to relax. It was a small slice of gameplay and it's months out from release. There will be tons of locations.
I was a bit taken back by the redesign. She went from schoolteacher milf in 2 to I don't know what. It's not bad but feels like a pre bayo1 style

Finally, I'm hype! The visuals threw me off for a sec, very non-Bayo environments but I'm still intrigued. I'm impressed we got gameplay footage (always prefer that to CGI-only). Looks maybe abit rough at times but there's time to smoothen things up.
Also, is Bayo less... risque when summoning this time around? I feel she's covered up more than expected lol.

Why is Bayo so tiny?
Some really weird proportions here.
The left one has Madama Butterfly's pronged demonic head, while the right is a stylized insect head with antennas.
Love her new-ish slight redesign. Really good job here. They didn't try to reinvent the wheel.
Hate the graphics.
IM NOT IMPRESSED! But I'm optimistic!

lmao this is legit jarring
I personally think that Nier Automata is overated (I prefer the first game) and the combat is nowhere as good as in older Platinum Games games. Also that game is 4,5 years old now ...
