Some Shots:

I've been following the development of this game for a while now, not bringing it up here because it was nigh above vaporware having nearly no coverage since it was announced a long time ago. But now that there's some hard media I can divulge what I know now:

- Bayonetta is the creation of Hideki Kamiya, who created Devil May Cry (1, not any of the sequels). He also did Viewtiful Joe and Okami. He's making Bayonetta for two reasons; he feels nobody expanded on the groundwork laid out with DMC1 - including its own sequels (Burn!), and one of his team members merely wanted him to make another action game.
- Bayonetta is a witch who fights angels. She uses her guns (on hands and feet), but will have other weapons to dish pain with. Her hair-based powers allow her manifest things created from her hair, including that dog-beast at the end of the trailer.

It'll be interesting to see what the female gamer response to this game will be. She's an action capable chick with her game, but her presentation is almost completely fanservice. Anyway, I'm betting this game will come out swinging for a piece of the action genre pie, challenging DMC4, NG2, and eventually GoW3.
