Former Capcom Employees Come Out Swinging

Weekly Famitsu revealed that Platinum Games, a game development studio made up of staff from the now defunct Clover Studios, have announced a 3-game publishing deal with Sega. The first game is called "Bayonetta", directed by Hideki Kamiya, creator of the Devil May Cry series. This one is set to drop for the PS3 and Xbox 360. The protagonist is a female that just might rival Dante in coolness as she has guns attached to her high-heels and is a witch. One thing noticeable in the screenshots is that instead of fighting demons, she appears to be fighting angels. Awesome! The second game revealed is "Line Infinity", an RPG slated for the DS with an epic sci-fi/space opera storyline. And the third and final game revealed was "Mad World" for the Nintendo Wii, directed by Shigenori Nishikawa, one of the main game designers who worked on all the versions of Resident Evil 4. The game's art style will be similar to that of a black & white manga or Frank Miller's Sin City, with the use of blood being highly stylized. All three titles are slated to drop sometime next year. Enjoy the images from the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu below. Click to enlarge.
