PlatinumGames vice chairman Hideki Kamiya has stated he “can’t conceive the Bayonetta series ever ending” in a brand new interview.
The action-adventure recreation collection was created by Kamiya and launched in 2009. The third recreation, Bayonetta 3, was launched in October, whereas a spin-off known as Bayonetta Origins: Cereza And The Lost Demon is because of arrive subsequent March.
Speaking to IGN Japan, Kamiya mentioned recreation creators’ must construct video games based mostly on “their own convictions” slightly than second-guessing what gamers need. “Taking the Bayonetta IP as an example, while I have a structure in mind for where the story is going to go far into the future, players are only able to pass judgment on the story that they have at the moment,” he stated.
He continued to share some gamers’ assumptions that the Bayonetta collection will finish as a result of “the creators have no love for it” and challenged that concept. “How could I not love Cereza and all the other characters I’ve fostered for this long?” he requested, referencing the sport’s protagonist, who’s also referred to as Bayonetta.
When he was requested if there can be extra Bayonetta video games produced sooner or later, Kamiya replied: “I personally can’t conceive the Bayonetta series ever ending. I want to make a Bayonetta 4 and Bayonetta 5, and I intend on pitching them to the company. We often talk internally about how we could make nine of them.”
He added: “I want people who love the Bayonetta series to believe me when I say I’m not going to do anything that will betray the player.”
In a four-star evaluation, NME stated of Bayonetta 3: “For long-time fans of the series, it’s a big sigh of relief – it was more than worth the long wait. For newcomers, it’s a surprisingly forgiving story to drop into – you might not know the characters at first, but it’s easy to pick up. No matter which side you fall on, Bayonetta 3 is a crowning gem for PlatinumGames and a ridiculously good time for all.”
Meanwhile, the sport collection has been embroiled in controversy just lately. One of its unique voice actors known as on followers to boycott the third recreation after feeling the charge she was supplied for the job was an “insult”. Hellena Taylor later responded to being known as “a liar and gold digger”, saying she felt the necessity to defend her status.
