Bayonetta TGS trailer features first gameplay footage

Gameplay footage from Platinum Studios’ spiritual successor to Devil May Cry has finally been shown!

The Bayonetta TGS trailer looks pleasingly over-the-top and flashy, which was very much expected, being the new title from Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kayima. Check it out.

Bayonetta, the main character/witch, has some crazy form of hair shift-shaping ability, evidenced when a demonic hair-fist springs forth to thoroughly own an angel baddie square in the jaw. This also seems to result in a White Knight Chronicles/Blue Dragon-esque embodiment of one of these hair-demons.

The game has got everything going for it. Here’s to hoping it stays that way.
