New gameplay trailer just hit

Honestly, this looks great. Really liking what they're doing with the summon-system.

Looks great indeed, much better than I expected. I love seeing the summons being tied to meter, having a counter attack similar to Nioh 2's burst counter, and having different demon masquerade forms for each weapon.

It's great seeing Platinum mixing things up, if done well it can be one hell of a game. While it definitely seems to be focused around smart usage of summons and demons forms, I just hope that Bayonetta herself won't be too weak and that the game will be properly balanced for higher level play and all that.

I'm really glad they're just doing the "Ninja Gaiden route" in the sense that, they're just doing something new with the established base instead of perfecting it (or attempting to). So much new toys in there, I can already imagine the choices you make while juggling these giant monster 'stances' and implementing them in your playstyle.

When using summons you can stagger the bigger enemies that you can't normally stagger without witch time or wicked weaves, and when playing as Viola, using summons disables witch time and I hope that the enemies will be well designed around that.

Speaking of Viola, she looks like a nice extra character to play as, and triggering Witch time by blocking (not parrying) seems like a nice change for her. I liked her sword and projectiles attacks as well. Just hope that once you beat the game you can replay it with any character you want unlike DMC5.

Definitely a wait and see for me, it could either be new and inventive or scripted snoozefest jank. Agree that I like them trying a bunch of new mechanics.

Damn! this looks wild.

Those demon summon combos look freaking cool.

That yo-yo roller blade weapon looks sick.

The scale of this game is impressive.

Riders of the the light remix sounds dope.

Bayo's & enemy animations,hit reactions look fantastic.

the new UI looks stylish.

I'm glad they included that censored mode. Bayo looks odd fighting without her full outfit.

I'm surprised switch can run this game at 60 fps.

After this trailer i'm even more disappointed that this game isn't available on pc.

Someone knows me well.

"Birdman will probably cream himself with how many options the summons seem to have."

He wasn't wrong.

I'm genuinely shocked, this looks fucking awesome.
