 Big changes are ahead for Bayonetta 3 and we know Platinum Games has a reputation for making a lot of very high-quality games that don't necessarily always sell the greatest. One such game that I know a lot of people are actually kind of looking forward to is a Nintendo Switch exclusive called Astral Chain that comes out this August but now we finally have some news on Bayonetta 3 and it's very interesting while it doesn't tell us anything it also tells us a lot at the same time just listen all right so studio head at sushi and Naba was had an interview with video game Chronicles and here's what he said in the interview about Bayonetta 3 and he says right now we're in the middle of designing something that has never been done before I know a lot of people say that but the game we're working on truly is unlike anything else even for our varied history of veteran game developers this is something that has never been designed before so from a game design perspective we're very excited right now that is wow and he's right a lot of people do say you know or we're making something that's never been done before this and that and then you get the final product and it ends up being something we've seen in other games but I mean he even recognizes that look other people say this all the time but this is different this is platinum games so platinum games does a lot of crazy things they have a lot of crazy different games a lot of crazy concepts you know the wonderful 101 wasn't really done before the wonderful 101 existed I can be arguable that Bayonetta and the way that Bayonetta does things wasn't done before Bayonetta 1 and 2 it's arguable that platinum comes up with a lot of original ideas astral chain looks like it has a lot of originality in it so platinum games is one studio that does like to experiment and does like to really put their best foot forward with whatever concepts they come up with but what you get out of these quotes from studio head at Sushi and Abba is that Bayonetta 3 is not gonna be like Bayonetta 1 and 2 Bayonetta 3 is gonna be drastically different in some major ways I'm sure it'll still be you know an action game I doubt it's gonna leave the genre it's in although who knows maybe it'll be action RPG or something I'm exactly sure what direction they're going in because we haven't seen it but I'm very interested when someone says look we're doing something different we're doing something that we've never done before unlike anything else that we've ever worked on so that's exciting because it does mean one thing for sure and this can be said beyond a doubt and that is that Bayonetta 3 is ambitious I know he doesn't use that word but when you hear things like right now we're in the middle of designing something that has never been done before I know a lot of people say that but the game we're working on is truly unlike anything else that sounds ambitious and that's exactly what you want platinum games to be doing anytime platinum games is making something whether it's this whether it's you know astral chain or the wonderful one-on-one or heck scale bound that was canceled that used to be Microsoft's game I think ambition is when platinum games is at their best there are some studios that you could argue that should be a little less ambitious that games might be better if they stuck more to the formula that made the games before it successful but platinum games in one of those studios where that's not really usually the case yeah they could just make more Bayonetta right Bayonetta 2 was basically more of Bayonetta 1 and you can debate back and forth which game is better but it's kind of like Super Mario Galaxy one versus Super Mario Galaxy 2 you can debate which one is better but Galaxy 2 is really more of the same from Galaxy 1 I think Galaxy 2 is better but honestly it's like splitting hairs because Galaxy 1 obviously introduced all the concepts that are used in Galaxy 2 and so they easily could have just made Bayonetta 3 more Bayonetta I think that's what most people expected it's a series we don't get very often right now it's been like a once per generation series you know back on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and then on Wii U and now on Switch and so it's been kind of like this once per generation series and I can appreciate it but honestly I was just expecting more Bayonetta because that's what we got with Bayonetta 2 but platinum games it's like nah we're getting something unique and I think that's exciting and I honestly want to hear from some gamers out there that are hardcore Bayonetta fans and I mean hardcore Bayonetta fans I'm not a hardcore Bayonetta fan I really enjoyed Bayonetta 1 and 2 I enjoyed them a lot but I'm not much of an action game guy right like if you slap a Devil May Cry game in front of me I think I'd rather play Twilight Princess or something right like I'd rather go play an action RPG an action adventure game rather than a pure action game usually pure action games don't appeal to me much and the honestly the only reason I play Bayonetta 1 and 2 is because Bayonetta 2 was exclusive on Wii U at the time and now on Switch and I went back and played some Bayonetta 1 and they had that Star Fox content added in which was actually really really cool and led to a lot of people wondering if they should be making a Star Fox game of platinum games and now people are wondering if Ubisoft should make a Star Fox game after what they did with Star Fox in Starlink what's been interesting with Star Fox is that now we've had two third-party studios prove that they can almost do Star Fox better than Nintendo can I think the Star Fox content in Bayonetta was very well received and obviously the Starlink one's been very well received so Ubisoft platinum games Star Fox Zero wasn't well received but that's another hero there maybe they were so good because those games weren't Star Fox games what I knew though is that Bayonetta 3's hype level is got to start to be rising and the fact that even talking about this tells me that I do think I have no evidence for this but the fact that even talking about this in an interview tells me that I do think at some point this year we're going to see Bayonetta 3 no I don't think it's releasing in 2019 I do not think it's a 2019 title I didn't think it was a 2019 title when they announced it back in 2017 at the Game Awards because they only showed a CGI trailer which usually is an indication that they're kind of just starting development and they're really not that far along so I don't expect it this year but can we see it this year could it be present at E3 you bet it could be is it possible that it's gonna be present again first gameplay reveal at the Game Awards where it was initially unveiled your damn right it could be and I know that Nintendo feels that Bayonetta is the kind of franchise that could appeal at the Game Awards since the Game Awards is attracting a lot of gamers eyes to it that aren't just Nintendo fans but might be really into Bayonetta so I do think that Nintendo even thinks that possibly that might be even a better venue than E3 or Nintendo's just attracting Nintendo fan eyes generally at E3 but at the Game Awards you have Microsoft fan eyes you have Sony's you know you have PC you have a lot of different gamers across a lot of multiple platforms and genres watching so it'll be interesting to see if we do see Bayonetta 3 this year again I think it's possible at E3 or at the Game Awards if it's not at E3 then I'm gonna be all on the Game Awards train I thought we were actually gonna see it at the Game Awards last year that was one of my predictions for the Game Awards 2018 and it didn't come true which is fine obviously the game wasn't as far along in development as I hoped it would be at the time no I still don't think it was coming this year but I thought hey look they teased it last year maybe show a little bit this year basically I thought they desk stranding it you know tease one year a little bit in the next year a little bit the next year then finally bring it out in 2020 I still think it's gonna be a 2020 game and I especially think it's gonna be a 2020 game since Metroid Prime 4 probably is not going to be a 2020 game 2021 at the earliest I think since they had a restart development and Retro Studios is busy hiring a whole bunch of people I guess that's neither here nor there one thing I do want to say about Bayonetta and why I appreciate the series we're really two things to be fair the first is the character I love Bayonetta she kind of skirts the edge right like she's she's overly sexualized of course but it's done in a way that seems respectful right like she is a character who is overly sexualized but owns her sexuality she uses her sexuality as part of her personality not just as like a weapon or anything like that against other characters but as an actual part of her persona and I think that that is a perfectly acceptable way to do something like that there are people I know in the real world that made me dress a little more scantily clad than I'm comfortable for but if they're owning their sexuality and that's just part of who they are who am I to tell them not to do it and that's kind of the way I feel a bayonetta she owns who she is and that's really cool she's a very powerful female character and I think that's appreciated especially in Nintendo's lineup because they have you have Samus who's a powerful character named Bayonetta just keep adding to that roster I think is important be nice to get Tomb Raider to be honest I love to see some of the the newer Tomb Raider games come to switch eventually too so let me have the you know strong another strong female character in Lara Croft and I'm not one of those people I think we need a whole bunch of you know female characters and they make games better per se but I do think that it's nice to have a diverse cast of heroes and that's the weird thing about Bayonetta is she really a hero I mean she's the umbra which I don't know if that makes her a hero per se she kind of again skirts the line of being a villain and a hero too which is another like I just the bayonetta character is amazing to me and then the other things I'll see the gameplay the gameplay of Bayonetta are the Bayonetta games are fantastic it's quick-paced it's very action-oriented I like some of the the umbra abilities and there's some very bloody and gory action sequences that you could trigger and again it's a game that knows what it is and owns it and didn't seem to censor itself that much when it became Nintendo exclusive which I like it means Nintendo's telling platinum look do what you want it's your game we literally wanted your game on our platform so do what you do with it it adds diversity it adds a mature title and I really appreciate that platinum games in the center are continuing to work at it just like I appreciate there being ambitious with Bayonetta 3 so you guys let me know what you think about this down in the comments below are you excited about this ambition are you a bit worried because you wanted it to be more like the other bayonettas and that this might ruin it because sometimes ambition and sometimes trying new things don't always come together as well as we hope you guys let me know what you think I am the thinner over Jensen from the center prime why don't you drop a like on this video subscribe for more content and enter our nintendo switch
