cosplay rounds: bayonetta

28 October 2009 3,142 views 3 Comments

Dante has a female counterpart to look out for. Bayonetta, an apparently 190cm+ double-akimbo battle witch with a slight fuckslutty officelady taint is out on a battle romp. I am not completely sure about the 10/10 score Famitsu gave to Bayonetta but it’s always nice to see someone putting effort into topping Lara Croft. Quite a few pics after the jump. By the way, post some more decent cosplay stuff on Bayonetta, if you manage to find them. Most of what I came through were, you know, not delicate.

Bayonetta, the original.

According to Bayonetta designer Hideki Kamiya, the best live action version would be Elizabeth Hurley.

Judging by the first cosplay pics appearing on Kotaku (this relayed from a Gamespot forum), we’d still stick with Miss Hurley. Or Bayonetta Live Action Cosplayer Supreme a.k.a. Sarah Palin. (Eat some more pics here.)

Just got this from the Platinum Games forums.

10 out of 10, says Famitsu.

I can hardly wait for this game to come out… and then be gone and out of the newsfeeds, finally. My RSS reader is full of its hype these days, and it’s getting more and more annoying. I wish there was an option to filter it all out.

As for the heroine herself: I find her neither cool nor sexy. She seems to be a badly drawn cartoon character with a distorted, disproportionate body. (Have you seen her head? It’s that tiny, pseudo-intellectually bespectacled dot slightly above those huge balloons.) The cosplayers impersonating her, being real human women, are a bit better. Pity it’s not them in the game and the character in a plastic surgeon’s care who could make her believable… and walk properly.

What I’ve seen from the trailers (yeah, I did watch them, didn’t want to judge the game w/out seeing some of it) Bayonetta’s going to be a brainless button-pushing exercise full of shiny-shiny effects that are as utterly unrealistic as the heroine herself; and the hype surrounding it is as un-enticing as the ungainly melons the designers hung on the poor woman. I’m sure some will fall for her, though, just as she should fall if she met her arch-nemesis, the force of gravity. Some will. Not me. I’ll be quite a bit surprised if she manages to top Lara in popularity / sales as well, not only in the sweaty dreams of some who… let’s just say… rarely encounter real women.

And who’s that anon and annoyed reader of PD? As for Bayonetta, I agree with the distorted and disproportionate and after seeing the gameplays, I’m curious about that 10/10 score. The Otogi series had the same brainless buttonmashing, but the eyecandy value and the oriental looks made it look like much professional and subtle. (And lo, it was underrated like fuck.) Topping Lara in popularity? I don’t think so (though I’m not a Tomb Raider fan). So what’s your interest in games?

attól félek,hogy a bayonetta túlságosan hasonlítani fog a devil may cry és god of war keverékre.úgy értem,mintha ugyan az lenne csak csajjal.ettől függetlenül nem rossz játék,kimondottan jó zenével és hangulattal.
