Japanese Bayonetta developer Platinum Games has wound up work on its sexy-action-slasher and is already teasing a new game. Any ideas?
So far the studio, headed up by the likes of Resident Evil mastermind Shinji Mikami, has got MadWorld and Bayonetta under its belt. But what's next? Anyone? Beuler?
To be perfectly honest we don't have a clue. It could be a sequel. It could be a new IP. But one thing we do know is that the developer is going to announce something sooner rather than later.
The first countdown (remember they were all the rage in 2009) of 2010 is running right now (thanks Kotaku).
Not familiar with Bayonetta? Let PSM's review fill you in: "Before you write off Bayonetta as a straight Devil May Cry clone, a weird Japanese hack'n'slash, or another sad attempt by a game to be sexy - STOP.

"Although it has elements of all these things, Bayonetta rises above such simple classification by being the boldest, most explosive and downright unashamed game we've played for years. It isn't a whacky genre game - it actually defines the genre it sits in."
With all that talent on board, I would love for them to make a survival-horror game, but with a new twist. Bring the Japanese survival-horror genre back to the forefront of gaming.
I'd love a Bayonetta sequel but at this point in time, I can't see much to improve the forumula so it'd just be more of the same, which is no bad thing, but as the original is now probably the best action game to date, you'd expect something a bit more... Like the previous poster, I'd love to see their take on survival horror. Resident Evil has shifted more towards all-out action these days leaving just Dead Space as the main survival horror contender, so there's a gap in the market right there.
