Platinum is taken
Earlier this year, platinum rockstar producer Hideki Kamiya explained they would probably have something to show Bayonetta 3 at some point this year. So what better time to check that in than (check watch) two weeks later?
In a conversation with VGC, Kamiya explains that it is still very early in the year for updates: “It’s not really our position to say, but … it’s January. We need to get something out, right? I think that It’s safe to expect something to come out. There’s still a lot of the year left, is what I mean. “
Bitterly, VGC asks for something “more substantial than any other CGI logo.” At that moment Kamiya smiles and replies, “I understand it’s driving the fans crazy! In light of that, my suggestion would be that maybe we should all reset and forget Bayonetta 3. Then when something finally happens, it will be a nice surprise, won’t it? ‘
Truth! But as Square Enix has learned many times before, showing something way too soon can have consequences. The problem is that Bayonetta 3 is so heavily linked to the Nintendo car that all kinds of problems with expectations arise. Anytime a potential Nintendo Direct ‘leak’ occurs (most of which are fake or guesswork), Bayonetta 3 it almost always insists or is speculated.
That’s not necessarily Platinum’s fault (especially if it was Nintendo’s decision to show it early to boost Switch hype), but that energy is now in the universe. You can’t put it back in the bottle!
