Days, hours, minutes?

 

[JadedWriter]

Imma gonna need a download link to that music.

 

[Dice]

That is OBVIOUSLY 16bit.

Oh god, please be something.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Must...not...get...excited...

 

[BosSin]

oh wow, that's a real dick move

 

[Jawmuncher]

I just like to imagine a what-if scenario where Sega someone got back Bayo 2, cut out the Nintendo content and rereleased the game on PC. Much how back in the day, the idea of Bayo being a nintendo exclusive was asinine. This currently sits in that same boat for me. Highly unlikely, but if it did happen. The reactions would be so glorious on GAF. Guaranteed graveyard thread.

 

[BasilZero]

SEGA throwing a jab at Steam xD


Lmao!

 

[chekhonte]

download this thing to show that there's an interest among pc gamers. I'd buy this again if it's on PC for sure.

 

[SmokedMeat]

They own the code for Bayonetta 2. For a similar example, they obviously don't own James Bond, but they do own GoldenEye 007.

That's bizarre. How do you own the code?

 

[Neoleo2143]

How is it not possible? Nintendo doesn't own Bayonetta.

I'd imagine as part of the deal to Fund Bayo 2, Nintendo got ownership of any Code that Platinum and Co. wrote. Meaning for any ports of the game, the code has to be Ok'd by Nintendo before it can be released and that's not going to happen similar to what happened with the Goldeneye 007 source code. The entire game would have to be rewritten to get past that which is financially unviable.

 

[Vena]

That's bizarre. How do you own the code?

You pay for it's development and partially develop it yourself.

 

[~Kinggi~]

I mean imagine if it leads to a legit announce of Bayonetta on steam though.

tho

 

[Ridley327]

That's bizarre. How do you own the code?

When you pay for it to exist in the first place.

Character and IP rights are very different from code ownership.

 

[FLD]

Yeah, if the real game doesn't come to PC in the near future then this is just mean lol.

Nintendo owns Bayonetta 2.

It's entirely possible that they had a deal where SEGA is allowed to release the game on other platforms after a certain period of time. Not very likely but I want to believe there's some hope.

 

[robotrock]

That's bizarre. How do you own the code?

you should check out the oculus vs zenimax lawsuit

 

[ArtHands]

Runs fine on my pc

 

[Jaded Alyx]

That's bizarre. How do you own the code?

By paying for the very existence of the game.

 

[Majukun]

already own bayo 1 2 times (360 and wii u), but it would be about time they bring it to pc...buuuut i think they are just making a cruel joke...

anyone tried the game?

 

[Gbraga]

YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT HIT YOU

 

[silva1991]

I'm so buying it for the fourth time aren't I?

 

[Mrbob]

At the very least, emulation will still be a great way to play it because CEMU is a ridiculously optimized emulator. You can play Bayonetta 2 right now at 4k60fps with even a mid-tier rig. They mostly need to find the audio issues with the game now and after that it will be close to perfect.

Nice. If my WiiU ever dies and that's the only way I can play Bayo 2 I'll definitely do it with CEMU. Game is too good to be cast into the abyss forever.

 

[Ōkami]

I'm not too fluent in javascript but pretty sure the countdown is to start at April 11 as the site is to get some sort of update then.

Combing through the code there isn't much to see.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Wouldn't something like Banjo and Kazooie fall into the same category? Killer Instinct?

 

[oti]

I hope the countdown leads to a new Sonic trailer or something cruel like that.

Spoiler

Bayo PC plz

 

[OrbitalBeard]

It's entirely possible that they had a deal where SEGA is allowed to release the game on other platforms after a certain period of time. Not very likely but I want to believe there's some hope.

Nintendo doesn't tend to make a deal like this on a game they greenlit, fully funded, and helped develop.

It's possible Nintendo sells Bayonetta 2 to Sega, but that would be something new, not a part of the original arrangement.

 

[Vena]

Wouldn't something like Banjo and Kazooie fall into the same category? Killer Instinct?

Nintendo sold it's share of Rare and their IP, that includes the code of the games et al. That was the deal.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Yeah, if the real game doesn't come to PC in the near future then this is just mean lol.

Why would Nintendo do that? They didn't just publish the game, they own it outright.

To paraphrase Kamiya, you might as well hope for Mario or Zelda.

 

[JayEH]

This is the second step in which Bayo 3 gets made. The first was Nier.

 

[Ridley327]

Wouldn't something like Banjo and Kazooie fall into the same category? Killer Instinct?

Nintendo sold all of their stakes in Rare's original IPs when they sold off the 49% that they had owned of the company at the time. That's why GoldenEye 007 is such a unique situation, since that was something that Rare could never actually own for themselves.

 

[Cerium]

Wouldn't something like Banjo and Kazooie fall into the same category? Killer Instinct?

The Rare situation is messy but Nintendo sold their rights to those games to Microsoft as part of the transaction.

 

[jediyoshi]

tho

In lieu of the Nintendo outfits, hope we get some Bayo in an HEV suit

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

So is this art new, or was it used for Bayo 1 or 2?

 

[sinonobu]

Sega has stated that they have no ties with Bayonetta 2 and Nintendo is publishing the game. It's not like Sega published the game exclusively for Nintendo, it was Nintendo publishing the game themselves.

 

[JaseC]

Days, hours, minutes?

The countdown timer is supposed to be active, but the code is slightly busted:

	// countdown SETUP start
    var setting = {
        counter: {
            lastDate: '04/11/2017 08:00:00', // target date settings, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS'
            [B]timeZone: PDT,[/B]
        }
    };

Bayo 3 for PS4, XB1, and PC

I need to see that thread.

 

[NotLiquid]

I'm gonna assume it'll only be a port of Bayonetta 1 since Bayo 2 is probably still on Nintendo's bankroll

 

[Garrett Hawke]

So is this art new, or was it used for Bayo 1 or 2?

I believe so, there is very little high quality Bayo 1 promotional material available because of when it came out. The original CG trailer is only available in 480p, lol.

 

[Jawmuncher]

So is this art new, or was it used for Bayo 1 or 2?

Old.

[SmokedMeat]

Well, in any case I think we'll finally see the first Bayonetta on PC. I'll triple dip.

 

[Porcile]

Bayonetta 2 is much a Nintendo game as Mario Kart. They paid to make the game, not publish it. Do you guys really still not understand how this stuff works? How many times exactly does it have to be spelled out that the game is Nintendo exclusive?

 

[NotLiquid]

So is this art new, or was it used for Bayo 1 or 2?

It's from the original Bayonetta teaser.

Funny that you're saying all this when Lego City Undercover was the same way

and its coming out on other consoles on Tuesday

Sega overlooked the project as advisors

[CertifiedFP]

Actually, honestly, if a Bayonetta 3 happens I'm placing my bets on it not being numbered in favor of a sub-title. As long as Bayo 2 is Nintendo exclusive, any further numbers are a Marketing Nightmare Dead-End.

 

[BasilZero]

I hope the countdown leads to a new Sonic trailer or something cruel like that.

Spoiler

Bayo PC plz

I wouldnt mind Sonic Heroes or Sonic Colors.....

Spoiler

(I already beat Bayonetta 1 on WiiU just 3 months ago :3)

 

[Gentleman Jack]

That is OBVIOUSLY 16bit.

Well it does look like 16 bit visuals tied to 2 bit gameplay.

16/2 = 8

People know it's exclusive. Let us have our fun in thinking of hypothetical situations.

if they do,i hope kamiya is back at the helm,bayo 2 was kind of disappointing for me
