PlatinumGames Still "Hard At Work" Developing Bayonetta 3

At least they left a tasty morsel to feast on while we wait!

Didn't see Nintendo leaving anything Metroid related to feast on yet....

Bayo3, Astral Chains, Babylon's Fall... Im still even excited for Grand Blue!

It is a PG Bonanza! Fantastic.

And tomorrow they'll announce the dog ate the hard drive that contained the progress so they'll have to start from scratch.

Considering this and Astral Chains, Platinum Games is apparently a bigger studio than I thought. Though I do hope they don't bite off more than they can chew at one time.

Still bummed about no Prime Trilogy mention. Although, Astral Chain looks cool and I’m a HUGE Bayonetta fan. So, I have that to keep me warm. Dammit Samus, you are missed

@Gen0neD we still have a whole year for nintendo to announce prime trilogy and besides its alrdy done in development nintendo needs to decide wen to announce it though.

This was just the first direct, others will follow

Astral Chains and Mario Maker 2 made my day. Yeah I'm a little disappointed with the lack of Metroid, but a lot was shown and we're only halfway through February! Pokemon Day is coming up where I'm fairly certain we'll at least get a sneak peek at gen 8, and we're probably getting another Direct around April. Then off to E3!

I am excited to learn more about Bayonetta 3, I love 1 and 2 and I even love that Nintendo has adopted Bayonetta (so to speak) as a franchise exclusive but we have to have something to look forward to for E3 and their are so many great great games coming out on Switch and that are already out on Switch that I can wait cause when Bayonetta 3 does drop I want to focus all my time on her and I'm hoping she is nothing short of a MASTERPIECE like she deserves to be.

@PrincessBowsette yeah, I hear what you’re saying. It’s my fault for buying into the rumors that Nintendo was DEFINITELY going to announce it this Direct. It’s one of my all time favorite franchises, especially Prime 1. It’s the wait that’s killing me my friend... it’s the wait.

@Gen0neD i agree and i think nintendo is waiting on the right time to announce it maybe around e3 or fall time frame.

Bayonetta 1 and 2 are my favorite games on Switch so I'm definitely looking forward to 3. In the meantime, Astral Chain looks like a great game to tide us over.

@Kevember someone is awfully salty.

I do not care for Bayonetta 3,but astral chain looks really interesting.

I'll still hope for Bayonetta 3 releasing this year.

Nintendo need to go all out and acquire Platinum, just do whatever it takes. Imagine the salt from none Nintendo fans

@Heavyarms55 They're quite big, they're currently working on a handful of titles. Babylon's Fall looks pretty good as well.

Bayonetta 3 is pretty high up on my wish list, loved 1 & 2 so much on Wii U. Hoping it’s going to come out sometime in 2019.

So Bayo 3 gets an article to say theres nothing to say but Astral Chains gets zlich!? Come on! That game looks really flipping good.

Tell them to work harder.

This should definitely be worth the wait, since it's a series that has been taken care of really well thus far. I hope we see something come E3... o.x

One of my most anticipated games for Switch yet!

Not even a 5-second clip. Bummer

👏E👏3👏
Were all waiting.

@kopaka considering Astral Chains is hitting in August, this is most likely being held for a 2020 launch.

@Mars those are madde by 2 different teams

They said almost the same of MP4 back in november...

Astral Chains actually reminds me of Bayonetta and I didn't expect it so that was exciting.

I think we'll finally actually see something at this year's E3 direct.

@Kevember The dog is Gamora obviously

My problem with anything is Platinum takes on too many projects for the size of their team. For every exceptional title they have a huge dud. I don’t see how these guys are making Bayonetta 3 and Astral Chain without one of them suffering. Don’t believe me check their track record. There is a legend of Kora for every Bayonetta. They also completely FUBAR’d Scalebound. I’m interested in both titles and I hope they are both good form platinums Games but I’d be willing to bet one will be good and the other garbage.

Not going to double dip on 1 and 2 on the Switch. But still excited for the third game.

@kopaka From a business perspective, spacing out titles is the best strategy. It gives both games time to “breathe” and sell.

@Mars thats why Yoshi comes out 2 month before SM maker 2

bayonetta 1 and 2 are great games.still playing games 2 so hope 3 is just as great no need to rush it🙅🙅🙅

@kopaka you’re right. Flagship titles that established themselves throughout the years are exempt. Similar 2nd and 3rd party games, released in similar windows, will get cannibalized. Look at Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 for example. One sold well while the other tanked.

@Mars and how exactly action (j?)rpg can cannibalize slasher's sales (or vise versa)? Moreover, Titanfall 2 had more problems because of Call of Duty.

@kopaka I won’t rehash my point. You can check with EA marketing or something. Good day.
