Lets face the music bros. Together.

What

Who's going to tell him? Prime 4....it had a hard life.

Metroid Prime 4 is probably similar

>Its normal for trailers to be dropped 2-3 years before release
Okay but where is the info? "We're working on it" doesn't work for three years.

wasn't sony the one who was accused of this before?

My only hope is that it's worth this insane wait. Maybe we'll see it by the end of this year

what do you mean "doesn't work"?
you'll lap this shit up even if they go for 20

The announcement came the moment the name of the game hit the whiteboard during a pitch. That's how far in development they were at the time of the trailer.

Nintendo's the only one doing this in the past 10 years.

A lot of people are worried about the lack of info.
I'd much rather they show something later on than throw up a trailer then go silent for years and this goes for any game.

dmc5 came out, who gives a fuck about bayonetta anymore? 2 was already mediocrea at best anyway

When will people realize that it's been cancelled for years now? Platinum once again fucked up.

Yeah this probably happened.
>they made the trailer

What’s the point of announcing something if you have nothing to show for years?
Should have done done it like DMC5 which was announced with a full trailer and released within a year

If I had done a mere hour of practice and study a day since then I could have become respectably proficient in a skill.
Instead I played vidya, wageslaved and browsed Zig Forums and little else.
Kill me.

because then you can tell who the shittiest devs are and avoid their garbage like a Chad

Good they should focus on Astral Chain 2 instead

You thought DMCV was good?
The entire game almost felt like you were just playing Bloody Palace because of how bland everything but the combat system was and even that only got good in higher difficulties when the enemies stopped being so passive. So you had this sub-par experience on your first playthrough because they don't let you pick higher difficulties until you've beaten the game or know the trick how to skip difficulties.
Very disappointing. Just like bayonetta 2 but for inverse reasons.

I like both. Not many action games like these come out.

Fuck backtracking and puzzles cutting them was the best idea they ever had

>a mere hour of practice a day
more like 10 hours a day unless you're really talented and young and focused

To sucker people into buying a Switch.

What are some chad approved devs that don't do this?

>le bloody palace campaign meme
Ah so you are one of those retards.

Friendly reminder the director of Bayonetta 2 left Platinum last year and that Bayonetta 3 is never coming out.

That's not true at all, there are a few black sheeps like the ones mentioned, but Nintendo usually announce games very close to release.
The ones that absolutely always announce games like 5 years before releasing them are Square-Enix and Sony.

Almost made me buy a switch

I wouldn't be surprised if it's been canceled like what happened to Scalebound.

Development probably quietly restarted around 18 months ago, when Hashimoto randomly left Platinum. He directed Bayonetta 2, which was a mess mechanically even if in terms of aesthetic stuff and level pacing and things like that it felt better than 1. He also clashed with Kamiya a decent amount when working on Bayo 1. 3 was probably turning out poorly and it eventually lead to some big argument and falling out where he up and leaves the company with a bad build. Game probably would've been canceled there if it wasn't meant to be a Switch exclusive, so Nintendo money let it continue on with a new director, whoever it is.

This is conjecture to be fair, but Hashimoto's leave last year with zero news on the title in a long time says volumes.

but user I already finished dmc5 except for V bloody palace

Unfortunately churazeey action games have an incredibly long dev cycle so we always need more.

>there are a few black sheeps like the ones mentioned
black sheeps imply they're out of the ordinary, but this happened last gen with smtxfe, devils third, bayo2, botw, and many more. Happened again this gen.

Nintendo likes to abuse this practice.
>but muh squeenix and snoy
when was the last time they've done this in the past 10 years?

Capcom has gotten really good about this. These days they only announce games that are 5-10 months out.

That's just Atlus being Atlus and has nothing to do with Nintendo. Bayo is 100% Platinum's fault and they're probably funneling funds into that W101 port that flopped and Project GG. MP4 is definitely on Nintendo though.

TLOU2, FFXV, The Last Guardian, FF7 Remake.

they've been reworking it into a cinematic action game since 2018, probably did a full reboot

Days Gone and Dreams were announced several years before release. For SE, they did it with FFXV, FFVIIR, and Avengers.

The most magical is the fact that there is almost no delays. We get a date and its certain

It and Metroid Prime 4 are dead.

It's also officially been over a year since the last general direct!
