This is a sad day.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 02:53 PM
I never really got this games appeal , sad to see a game that many enjoyed will not back , just yetMonday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:03 PM
Shame. Bayonetta is one of the best action games out there. Hope the sequel sees the light of Day. @3- I don't even care about the Avengers movie, but You Sir, suck!Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:05 PM
at 3 .... sir spoil a lot!Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:06 PM
Sega, cancelling a bayonetta sequel would be a bad move. Keep it and drop something less interestingMonday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:09 PM
bit surprised #3 hasn't been banned yetMonday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:09 PM
That's just unfortunate. Bayonetta was one of the great surprises of 2010, despite not having a coherent story. Hopefully it is just delayed and not cancelled.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:09 PM
#7 Harsh!Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:10 PM
It would be great to be a Bayonetta sequel. @3 I was about to see the Avengers movie, thanks for spoiling it u stupid cunt!!Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:12 PM
@3 Fuck off.... And this makes sense. Probably to concentrate more on MGR: Revengance.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:14 PM
@3 - Get it together and ban this cunt alreadyMonday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:18 PM
Kind of surprised, really. I didn't really get the appeal of Bayonetta, just seemed like another boring God of War style button masher to me (also I didn't think Bayonetta was super hot either like so many other people seemed to). But with all the good word of mouth it got, you'd think they'd want to keep it going. SEGA should cancel something with less appeal, like every game with "Sonic" in the title. Those usually aren't good anyway. @3: I hope you die in real life. Sooner rather than later would be preferable.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:21 PM
Sad. I liked the first one. It had a special place in my heart like the DMC series.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:22 PM
@14 Your long ass post nearly bored me to death so you nearly got your wish :)Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:23 PM
@3 why do you spoil? attention whoreMonday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:24 PM
I hope someone other than Sega picks this up if this news is the case. I loved Bayonetta, it snuck up on me in how good it was and because of the game I will now look out for anything Platinum games does.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:30 PM
This better not be true, I would love to see a sequel to Bayonetta.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:34 PM
@3 Bruce Willis is dead in the sixth sense, see how you like it, sorry to everyone else he just made me so angry.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:55 PM
IM GOING IN..FOR THE KILLLLL..damn commercialMonday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:57 PM
SEGA will no doubt make more money by finishing and publishing a good sequel... Stop thinking short-term, and don't let the suits ruin this nice IP! For the love of god, will companies pleeease stop canceling games already!Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 03:59 PM
@20 The titanic sinks in titanic! Suck it biatch!Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 04:03 PM
Wow, I was late to the party. What did #3 say exactly? Now I'm curious. Lol.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 04:07 PM
@24 i was just wondering that same thing. he certainly seems to have pissed off quite a few people though. it seems like there is more commentary on him than on the actual topicMonday, April 30, 2012 @ 04:15 PM
WHYYY LORDD WHYYYY WHENS GONNA BE MY TIME!!!Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 04:17 PM
If this is true, I'm going to blow something up. -.-Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 04:34 PM
@23 no you're lying and i'm not sucking anythingMonday, April 30, 2012 @ 04:38 PM
Noooo gutted!Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 04:49 PM
Sad to hear this and i hope its not true :( Whatever 3 said spoiled the avengers film for some and im glad i didnt come in here earlier. I dont get why people do stuff like that? Its puzzling tbh, like they think they are being a bit of a badass, lame.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 04:49 PM
As long as sega doesn't release a Binary Domain 2(not a horrible game) before Bayonetta or Vanquish 2, I'll be okay.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 04:50 PM
Just hope that it's not true, Bayonetta was a great game, kinda bought it on a whim and couldn't stop playing, the gameplay was just so sadistically hilarious in all the right ways.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 04:52 PM
@14 If you think it's just another God of War masher, then you clearly don't know what the game is. That's no surprise though, with the current generation.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 04:59 PM
@23 excellent random Jay and Silent Bob insert :)Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 05:03 PM
I saw his spoiler before it got deleted, unfortunately. Not as bad as the day Mass Effect 3 came out and this douche "ruined" the ending of that in the comments below a YouTube video. It's getting to the point where you must avoid the Internet at all costs in the weeks leading up to release of something you're interested in. So many spoiling assholes out there.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 05:13 PM
But somehow some garbage Sonic Kart game is announced?!?!Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 05:17 PM
@36 He was trying to save you from a shitty game, dumbass.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 05:22 PM
@38 What game is shitty?Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 05:26 PM
Bayonetta was a great experience. I' m still hoping for part 2.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 05:34 PM
@38 - Oh yes, Lord Solomon Fuere says a game is shitty, and so it is shitty for everyone, no matter taste or opinion. Dumbass.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 05:43 PM
@34 Took the words from my mouth. OT: Makes me feel bad for not purchasing this. I liked what I played a lot more than the spiritual predecessor I did pay $60 for (DmC4).Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 05:45 PM
"Bayonetta 2 could be a casualty of SEGA's new focus on more lucrative projects going forward." "Moving forward" = shoveling out more Sonic games. Would rather play a new Condemned game, more in line with the first game than the "hardcore" second game that managed to deflate the series as much as Warrior Within did in Prince of Persia.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 05:59 PM
A sad day if this is true.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 06:08 PM
Since no one said anything..... @11 Konami have always been behind the new Metal Gear game,unless I'm missing something? Also this gives room for them to focus on Shenmue 3 and releasing those HD Shenmue 1 and 2 ports that have apparently been finished for over a year!Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 06:55 PM
I didn't even know they were working on a sequel. I really hope this is just a rumor. I loved the first game.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 07:13 PM

No Comment? I believe that mean "In progress", right? Yeah, ppl love this game, so y not make a sequel?Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 07:30 PM
NooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooMonday, April 30, 2012 @ 08:00 PM
I don't see why they would cancel it. Everybody liked the first one and it had good sales. It would a bad idea and upset fans to cancel it. Besides what are they going to make another sonic gameMonday, April 30, 2012 @ 08:02 PM
That's real annoying, Bayonetta was actually one of my favourite video games ever. A sequel would have been more than welcome to mostMonday, April 30, 2012 @ 08:08 PM
Bayonetta was the only Platinum Games/Clover Games output that I didn't enjoy. Okami, God Hand, Vanquish and MadWorld are some pretty tough acts to follow, but I wasn't feeling this game in anyway other than art direction (i.e. It looked real purty and had some creative flourishes). To be honest they should at least try to release MadWorld or it's sequel on the 360, the Wii is directed at families and kids so it's no surprise it didn't light a fire over there, but I feel the 360 fanbase is more mature and can appreciate fucking up the Black Motherfucking Baron several times.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 08:10 PM
Awww well I not sure if I can say but I am believe 2nd series will be in working title for some reasons. I wish Bayonetta 2 will release before next generation consoles and so 3rd series will be on next generation consoles. My eyes hope so and in my heart are agree lol :):)Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 08:57 PM
Wha-WHAT? NO. WHY. PLEASE. NO. ;A;Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 09:30 PM
Never played the 1st one was it any good?Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 10:13 PM
Whaaaa? Weren't we all just talking about this with the. . . . games come around once in a blue moon and now this happens. . .Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 10:24 PM
This is sad news. Bayonetta is a great game, one of the good surprises we had that year. Sucks that this game gets cancelled while they will probably replace it with some crap game.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 11:20 PM
"Bayonetta 2 could be a casualty of SEGA's new focus on more lucrative projects " - How about its just a casualty of being associated with SEGA in the first place. When is that company going to get it right?Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 11:30 PM
I really loved Bayonetta so I hope that this is not true.Monday, April 30, 2012 @ 11:46 PM
Noooooo i really wanted them to make a sequelTuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 12:45 AM
One of the Best Hack and Slash of this Gen, it even surpasses DMC in gameplay. Story was lacky, presentation was terrible and had a slow start but It definitely grows on you. It's a sad day that such a great IP with so much potential had to get canned, I wish either it's bogus or some developer with huge cash picks it up so the money ain't a problem while going for sequelTuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 01:43 AM
Sega, put the focus on Condemned instead!Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 02:17 AM
they have financial problems and cancel bayonetta?! hope they donĀ“t put all on the sonic card although the last was quite good. but hey, at least they announced binary domain for PC yay -.-Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 03:06 AM
Ffs bayonetta is one off the best games on the 360 .....Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 03:20 AM
I never played Bayonetta but everyone I know that did seemed to really dig it. I thought it had actually sold quite well. It's a sad day though that something good is cancelled given how much crap comes out these days.Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 04:21 AM
What the... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 07:07 AM
worst video game news i heard in a while. This was the GOTY for 2010.Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 07:21 AM
Bayonetta was fucking awesome. Some would argue that it was more Devil May Cry than Devil May Cry 4 was. It was the only game without the words King Kong or Fight Night Round 3 that I got 1000 achievement points on. If it turns out that they've cancelled Bayonetta while some movie based turkey like The Golden Compass or any of their Marvel comic movie efforts get the green light, I'll be livid. I still have traumatic memories of when Infogrames/Atari cancelled the XBox version of Grand Prix 4 while foisting Enter the Matrix and Driv3r on the gaming public.Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 07:40 AM
this will be a sad day if this is 100% legit.. just beat this game last night. was hoping for another!Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 08:08 AM
Bayonetta and Vanquish were two of the best games of this generation, its a shame no one played them, their loss has turned into our loss!Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 08:28 AM
This is just plain dumb by SEGA, they waste their time, cash and sweat on games like "Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed" and decide to cancel the production of Bayonetta 2. I'm disappointed with the gaming community for not buying many copies of Bayonetta but they flock to buy the next CoD and Fifa, with sales for those respective franchises just continue to increase more and more every year. @#45 by Q Dawg187 - I'm a huge Shenmue fan and I would love to see that happen "one day"...one day but its unlikely to happen at this time and I just think it's a waste of creativity of not continuing a series like Bayonetta. Bayonetta was an incredible experience whilst being seriously fun and having a hilarious cast. For Bayonetta to be forgotten and left alone like this, is ludicrous. It will just become another Shenmue, another great franchise left to rot by SEGA. I'm disappointed with you SEGA yet again.Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 09:26 AM
No, just no. better not be true.Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 09:36 AM
Oh poo.Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 09:50 AM
what did no. 3 say?Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 10:25 AM
If Platinum Games owns the Bayonetta IP, they should take their talents to South Beach, as it were. Sega is the sinking ship that just doesn't realize it's sinking.Tuesday, May 01, 2012 @ 01:01 PM
@74 gave away a load of spoilers for the avengers movie, just a troll looking for reactionWednesday, May 02, 2012 @ 01:48 AM
Let's hope not bayonetta was a masterpiece definitely would like to see a sequelWednesday, May 02, 2012 @ 01:51 AM
#55 imo the best action game besides ninja gaiden 1Wednesday, May 02, 2012 @ 08:42 AM
R.I.P. BayonettaWednesday, May 23, 2012 @ 09:48 PM
Terrible news if true :( First game was so much fun.Wednesday, June 13, 2012 @ 04:27 AM
If this happens and it better not, I'm going to go Father Balder and drop some satellites on them after combing my hair with a feather of course.

It's not even been officially announced yet, but word on the grapevine is that Bayonetta 2 may have been cancelled as part of SEGA's effort to restructure and get its financial performance in order. Apparently that plan could involve putting the brakes on one of the publisher's best IPs.
A source close to our good friends at SPOnG dropped the bombshell, claiming that development on a Bayonetta sequel has ground to a halt, following rendunancies and a major reshuffling at SEGA following a poor fiscal year. According to the source, Bayonetta 2 was past its pre-production stage.
Platinum Games' projects have had a history of being critically lauded, then falling short at retail, so its rumoured that Bayonetta 2 could be a casualty of SEGA's new focus on more lucrative projects going forward. The original Bayonetta launched in January 2010 and garnered a well-earned high score on X360A. We're hoping that the rumours of Bayonetta 2's demise are just that. Rumours. SEGA's official line? "No comment." Pah!
