It looks great from what I've seen, but it does look like an on rails shooter which would be a great shame. Does anyone know the answer?

um, how can it be a on-rail shooter? You're on the ground fighting baddies with swords and special abilities around you... it's an action hack n slash game.

It's a hack n slash.

Out of curiosity, what footage did you see that caused you to believe it was an on rails shooter?

- D-Dude, don't get me wrong, okay? It's just guy love, right? Between two guys?

I saw the e3 trailer. It looked insane and theres a lot of programmed movement in the environments which made me think it was on rails. I hope im wrong, is there anything to say it's not?

Because it's Bayonetta. Have you even played the first game?! It's a bad-ass Devil May Cry with more Kamiya (Who made the first DMC by the way).

Ah, you just saw it huh? Quite the difference between the crapped out ps360 ports isnt it?

Id imagine it would be hard to believe if all you saw prior was the port poop.

That level is a bayonetta vehicle level. Look up the bayonetta clock tower level, or highway 666 to see what platinum could do with ps360, at half the fps.... And a free camera as opposed to fixed camera (camera ai rotates based on bayonetta and enemies position, instead of staying still to ensure performance)

The game is neither on rails nor open world. Its a beat em up/hack in slash like dmc, or god of war.

Now do yourself another favor and look up monolithsofts 'X' E3 teaser.

THAT one, IS open world. Completely seamless open world. And its just the beta.

i think hes talking about a preset storyline without to much freedom on where you can go, just 1 set path.  

 

but still dont know y he didnt call it a fighter or hack in slash.

Holy smokes, when you actually watch Bayonetta 1 vs Bayonetta 2, its a very noticeable jump.  I understand that Platinum would have likely been able to make Bayonetta 2 look better than Bayonetta 1 even on the 360 due to game engine improvements, but not the type of jump we are seeing on Wii U.  Platinum is pushing the Wii U.  When you look at the whole package, not just the improved graphics, but the improved framerate and likely native resolution, its a very large bump from what they were able to do with current gen hardware.
