Bayonetta 2

He's the kid in the trailer, and Bayo's bro. Or father Baldur as a kid. That's my guess.

Rodin was the Sage os Sages and he still got owned. The day someone conclusively stomps Bayonetta is the day the series dies.

Rodin was an Angel, not a Sage.

Also, Gommorah broke its contract during a summoning? Demons can just do that?

Maybe they can now. And well, I wouldn't mind somebody giving Bayonetta a hard time in-cutscene. Even Dante got beat up.

They actually did that really well in the first game. Bayonetta is always dominating and in control. So the one time she isn't, you know shit just got real.

As for Gommorah breaking free: Like I said, I blame the Lumen Sage. Or possibly a third party that's doing it to both of them. Possibly being the little boy with the Yu Gi Oh accessory.

Well there is more than one Gomorrah. So it might not be the exact same one she summons.

x3 Rarely and, with the exception of Vergil, Trish, or Mundus, it was pretty much never serious.

It is her Gommorah.

Developer diary. Man, everything he says sounds vaguely sexual.

I call super easy mode on that accessory.

Going by the footage, it seems like those centaurs are replacing Affinities and Applauds as the game's cannon fodder.

YOU CAN USE Malphas as a Wicked Weave.

Yep.

They've essentially given her a Devil Trigger called Umbran Climax, in which all of her normal attacks become Wicked Weaves and the attacks that would normally just be Wicked Weaves summon Infernal Demons instead.

The demon that gets summoned seems to depend on the weapon you're using. Madama Butterfly for Love Is Sin(the new blue guns), Malphas for the dual swords, and some weird demon with prehensile tongues for the new whip-like pair of leg weapons.

I just wanted to chime in and say holy crap short hair Bayonetta is hot.

I really like Jeanne's redesign, too.

Also, I believe that you can see a new Cat-o-nine-tails weapon with the Torture Attack that locks the enemy in a cage before crushing him.

Man, I don't know how, but they managed to surpass the scale of the first game.

Also, about time that we could fight some demons in this series.

That explains the fourth demon.

Now everyone sees the glory that is short-haired woman.... I'll be going now.

Anybody else get a hood-rat Jesus/anti-christ feel from the kid?

Other theory: he is Bayo's son from the future, sort of mirroring the parent/child dynamic of the first game.

I'd die of laughter if he's a chav or something.

Plot twist: he's a highly intelligent and gifted paranormal investigator who chooses to dress like that because he's comfortable in it.

My first instant thought was "George?!" Of course it isn't him though.

I don't care what people say about george.

He referenced the ninja turtles movie.

He's great.

"Hot Fa Days!"

There will be a Boss fight with Phantasmaraneae. The first part will pretty much be a more pumped up version of the Phantom boss fight from the original Devil May Cry, with the same attack patterns and everything, before it becomes a battle in it's own way.

It appears they killed Jean off so that people can summon her soul as the second player...

Anyhow, since Bayonetta is on par with her new Sage rival, it would be unfair if she had Jeanne to team up 2x1 on the masked enemy.
