1. Bayonetta 2
Rock chick Bayonetta is back! The trailer showed the not-exactly-feminist witch battling fantastical golden armoured enemies on top of a jet using some of the coolest looking powers weve ever seen, like the summoning of a gigantic demon head out of the ground or creating purple whirlwinds with her hands. The setting is a fairly generic looking skyscraper infested city, yet the character designs are really quite gorgeous. Enemies range from regal looking metal-plated priests to two-hundred foot mutant dragons that fill the night sky, showing the game is keeping up with its predecessors diversity and impressively large set-pieces. Whats more impressive is that Bayonetta herself has been de-sluttified, meaning the developers arent trying quite as hard to titillate and its actually possible to appreciate the heroine for something other than an over-sexualised caricature. Perhaps the biggest news though is the game might be two-player, or at least have a multiplayer mode, as the appearance of a second witch, along with a mysterious character at the end of the trailer, suggests fighting alongside a super-powered partner might be in store. Of course this is mere speculation, but two-player co-op seems a natural fit for a game such as this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dFfVBdRWmw Little else of note happened during their conference, as was to be expected given their console is already out, so if you missed it dont feel too bad. However, if any exclusive is going to get people on other consoles jealous, Bayonetta 2 is certainly it. Are you excited about the announcements? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
