Hideki Kamiya, creator of Devil May Cry and its much-loved spiritual successor Bayonetta, has responded to rumours that Sega has canned Bayonetta 2 by teasing the possibility of an imminent announcement.

Spong claimed Sega has halted development on the sequel as part of the publisher's ongoing restructuring process.

But Kamiya took to Twitter via (Spong) to tell followers to keep an eye on "next week's game magazines", suggesting some new information will be revealed very soon.

As much as we'd like to see an announcement we're keeping our excitement in check. We've been burned before by Kamiya. Last year he teased Bayonetta 2 reveals multiple times and we're still waiting.

Fellow Platinum Games producer Atsushi Inaba reacted to the story more intriguingly, posting some mock concept art and the following message (via OXM): "We've heard all the rumors on the net. What do you guys think? Too bad it got cancelled, huh?" Bayonetta lead designer Hideki Kamiya retweeted the image.

The image shows Bayonetta striking a risqué pose with a burly military type fella featuring prominently in the background. Platinum Games fans will recognise the man as Robert Burns from Vanquish, who has a new red eye courtesy of Microsoft Paint. We're pretty sure Inaba is trolling.

Spong said the game was set to feature a new character in the shape of a member of the US military, although it's unclear if it the title was actually in development or in a pre-production design stage.

Kamiya has since posted another Tweet saying "Game that hasn't been announced cannot be canceled,so I know Bayo 2 is safe in your mind-heart and around PG office". This is getting a bit out of hand.

Asked about today's Bayonetta 2 report, Sega simply said "no comment."

Theres supposed to be a male character in the new one. They reported that female character leads dont sell games so i think they were supposed to give the player the option between the two. HOpefully its a rumor.

Played through it on normal - cuz we had no choice - and tried to follow the story. Couldn't. That shyt was appalling

Second time on hard I skipped all that shyt and with the AI more aggressive and lack of lame story elements it felt like a whole new game. Part 2 needs to have smarter AI from the start, less story, more action, and zero set pieces like that motorcycle section

Sidenote: even if Lolipop Chainsaw is hot shyt, i dont see myself coppin that

Lollipop will be repetitive shyt. Bayonetta's motocycle scenes moves sh1t along. I wasnt mad at it. Riding that fukking missle two times i dont think i enjoyed .

Bayonetta, specifically hard mode, shyts on everything IMO. I reiterate hard mode cuz you don't really need to use certain weapons and attacks on certain enemies on the lower difficulties and there's a parry mechanic that you rarely get to use, but is crucial to master, since enemies actually attack you first. Being low on health all the time makes the potion brewing alot more useful so you find yourself scavenging for items a lot more too

If people hate on the game, that's their opinion, but they probably didn't play it the way it was meant to be played

And I liked the music :yeshrug: the main theme and the Fly Me to the Moon remix pops in my head from time to time and I haven't played the game in so long. Video game music never sticks with me when I'm done playin it, but that might be due to the fact that I played the shyt outta this trying to unlock the gunchucks

shyttin' on OG NG2's combat system?

I'll have to investigate this. I only played the demo of Bayonetta, it should be dirt cheap now. Did they ever fix it for PS3?

Yup to both questions. Once you unlock everything and put it all to use, the shyt is splendid.

:birdman: @ you for sleeping this long though, damn
