#Bayonetta
In the great tradition of wonderful trash, Platinum Games nails it again.
If you’ve been asking for more from your games, then Anarchy Reigns might be just what you need. It’s got more racial stereotypes, more campy dialogue, more leotard-clad dominatrixes, and more ridiculous fighting than you could ever need. If you want to groan at the thought of all of these disgusting and tired gaming fallbacks being crammed together, take heart! The entire crazy package is a total goof and it’s pulled off perfectly in one of the greatest send-ups of video game tropes ever made that’s also genuinely fun.
A quick look at some of the challenges that Platinum Games has had to deal with in developing Bayonetta 2.
Would you kindly listen in to our Wii U heavy podcast?
After making a few predictions last week, Jason and Nick sit down to discuss the results of Nintendo's Wii U Press Event and the events that have followed. Nintendo TVii gets some air time and its potential operability is discussed in detail. The conversation also covers the pricing structures of the system, as well as the strength of the launch line-up and window.
Launch window titles revealed, console configurations & prices, new services, and surprise titles.
This morning at 10AM EST, Nintendo held a press event detailing their upcoming Wii U console, which has revealed a flurry of information. As expected, the system will drop on a traditional console release date for the company, the third Sunday in November, which this year is November 18. The system will come in two different configurations: a Basic and Deluxe Set. The Basic Set will retail for $299.99 and will come with a white console, 8GB of internal storage, a white GamePad controller, AC adapters for both the controller and console, a sensor bar, and an HDMI cable. The Deluxe Set will retail for $349.99 and will come with all items in the Basic Set, but will instead be available in black with 32GB of internal storage. It will also include a console stand, a GamePad charging cradle, a vertical GamePad stand, and Nintendo Land, as well as enrollment in the Deluxe Digital Promotion.
Platinum's online brawler just got a little more awesome/weirder.
Platinum Games, the studio that burst from the corpse of famed Clover Studio, has had a pretty decent track record of ridiculously fun – if still a bit offbeat – games such as Mad World, Vanquish, Bayonetta and the Metal Gear Solid offshoot, Revengeance. While Revengeance may be getting the lion’s share of attention from the fans and media alike these days, the studio has been working on another interesting title called Anarchy Reigns (or Max Anarchy as it is known in Japan).
Raiden's latest chapter will be even more over the top than expected.
At tonight's VGA awards, it was revealed that Metal Gear Solid Rising will now be known by a different name - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. In addition to the name change, development was also handed to a different studio. Taking the helm is Platinum Games, known for their over the top style as demonstrated in Bayonetta, Vanquish, and Madworld.
