Bayonetta 2 dev: Working with Nintendo is unnerving

Just thought this was interesting. Sorry if old.

Working with Nintendo, one thing that comes out of that is that were not able to cover up weaknesses in the core gameplay by making the graphics prettier or adding cutscenes, or whatever.

The concern, first and foremost, is the core of the game and the quality of the gameplay. They really have our back in that sense. And thats actually a little bit unnerving, working with people who are such perfectionists in that sense

Been a while since I actually made a thread >.>

lol you mean you weren't given a budget to make cutscenes or better graphics.

were not able to cover up weaknesses in the core gameplay by making the graphics prettier or adding cutscenes, or whatever.

It's funny how they just outright admit it.

I wonder what they'll say when their game only sells 18k ?Nengo_Flow

Nah since there are so few games on Wii U. They will sell more :P

Understandable. Nintendo aren't exactly amateurs when it comes to game design.freedomfreak

I feel sorry for them, they chose the worst console possible.

Hardware wise, no

Sales wise, yes

Nintendo, the gameplay king.

PG has never done that, so I don't see why they would now.

Crack that whip, Nintendo.

What the f*ck is that source? It's a fake/satire article, a developer (especially of Bayonetta) would never say something like "were (we're????) not able to cover up weaknesses in the core gameplay by making the graphics prettier or adding cutscenes, or whatever"

I died so many times in chapter 5..... On normal too.funsohng

So Nintendo is making sure they focus on what matters and they're greatful for that... That's pretty cool.

You shouldn't because this game would never have happened anywhere else; it was going to be cancelled.

Nintendo does have some of the best technical game design in the business. All these years later and nobody jumps as perfectly as Mario does, in both 2D and 3D.Bread_or_Decide

I guess thats like going to a terrible restaraunt with bad service, bad food that gives you the shits, high prices and dirty floors but leaving and saying "Well, that light fixture in the bathroom sure was pretty"

Also, Mario is at the very least a mediocre franchise restaurant, like Applebee's or Shenanigans.

LOL

Does anyone else think Bayonetta 2 will be great but just won't sell at all on the Wii-U? I'm betting it financially doesn't pan out and hopefully gets ported to some other systems under a different publisher.
