If there were a CD with this image as its cover, I would buy it without question. The design, expression, and pose got stuck in our heads and we just couldn’t forget it. It looks like it was created with colored pencil on drawing paper (?), but posing Bayonetta in such a dynamic drop kick is the work of no mere amateur.įinally, we have a work by Randall Louis. This one is incredible… It was a design contest for Bayonetta, but Rodin and Jeanne are so prominent that they are the only thing we really noticed.Īctually, this work by Joshua Meeks was the most popular among the team. It’s fancy, like it could be an illustration in a fairy tale collection. Shimazaki also picked another work, this one by Alexander Gordon. Bayonetta started with the idea that witches had to be black, but this image boldly threw black right out the window. The cherry blossom trees in the background mesh well with Bayonetta. Our concept designer Ikumi Nakamura picked this one. That is why we would like to point them out and recognize them here on the blog.įirst up is a work by Michael Hiscott. Because of this, there were works that we weren’t able to include in the contest, but were so good that we just couldn’t get them out of our heads. The idea of taking Bayonetta’s design and using that as a starting point for a brand new concept was a rather unusual experiment for a contest, and all of the entries obviously showed a lot of passion, each one amazing in its own right. Of course, we had a say in who won, and the staff all looked at all of the entries! The Grand Prize winner was one that I selected personally. On to the next… A while back Wizard Magazine held an art contest entitled Bayonetta Re-Envisioned, and lots of great works were selected as prize winners. From Rei Kondo, to all the staff at GEM Impact, to Hiro-san at SEGA, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I’d love to work together again! We had the opportunity to work with lots of people outside of the company, which I am really grateful for. Speaking of the soundtrack, it isn’t just songs created by PlatinumGames staff. Rei Kondo… Sorry… They really are good tracks… (LOL) Both of the tracks were composed for us by Mr. While soaking, looking out at skyscrapers under the expansive blue sky, it felt so great, like I was in heaven… When I hear the track that plays before you enter Balder’s Room, “Paradiso – Sea of Stars,” or the final track, “The Greatest Jubilee,” I feel completely opposite to the track names themselves it’s delusional, like I’m getting sucked into hell. The spa on the 22 nd floor has an unbroken view of Umeda, so during the day I would escape the development floor and head up to soak my messed up body in the bath. Ahhh… The last part of Bayonetta’s development was really brutal, and since I couldn’t go home, using the spa here at our offices in the Umeda Sky Building to wash away the days fatigue was the only thing I really had to look forward to however, it seems like that left an indelible impression on my psyche. Lately I’ve been listening to the Bayonetta soundtrack while working, but whenever I listen to the music from the latter half of the game, I have some sort of conditioned response to remember being in a nice warm bath, staring back at downtown Osaka (Umeda). You can buy it here on the Nintendos site, or download it directly on the eshop.Kamiya here. Where to download the demo: Bayonetta Origins.

It’s not now, but rather the opening moments of the game will take off the beginning of the first chapter. Before you start it, you can test this interesting spinoff with demo form. The game is still going to end on the 17th of March.īayonetta Origins, otherwise known asBayonetta Origins: Cereza, and the Lost Demon, is scheduled to be released on March 17th.
