Just in case you thought the full E3 rumour of Platinum doing Metal Gear Rising was going to come to fruition, you thought wrong. While the Bayonetta developer is now confirmed to be part of the project, Bayonetta boss Hideki Kamiya, initially thought to be involved, has confirmed he isn’t part of its development. In a tweet, he said: “Hey everyone, I said 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times that I have nothing to do with Metal Gear Rising.”

More details on Rising will drop today and tomorrow.

Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya has told Game Informer he’d like to make more Viewtiful Joe. From the sound of it, the chances of this happening are about as remote as you ever seeing the dark side of the moon, but what the hey. It’s December.

“Up until very recently I really felt someday I wanted to make a sequel to Okami, and there were others who wanted me to as well,” he said.

“But then the other day I heard the announcement that someone else would be making a sequel and now I’m just not interested in it any more. Once someone else touches a world that you yourself created it stops being yours. There is no point in making a sequel when the world doesn’t belong to you.

“Viewtiful Joe is probably all I’ve got left. That story is incomplete so I’d like to finish it someday. But that would probably be the most difficult one to do [laughs].”

The next in the Viewtiful Joe series is planned for release in the next million billion years.

Platinum Games has released a developer diary featuring Hideki Kamiya and Yusuke Hashimoto discussing the backstory for Bayonetta.

Apparently, the witch has lost her memory one the battle withe angels begins, but as the game progresses she regains it and it is up to the player to find the mysteries surrounding her past.

Also mentioned was the creative license the designers were given with enemies, weapons, and the ability to customize Bayonetta.

It is never mentioned why her head looks smaller compared to the rest of her body, but that is not what matters. What matters is that the game looks badass, and will hopefully play that way as well.

Video is past the break, game’s out early 2010.

Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya has spoken out against former Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki, stating that the Ninja Gaiden creator is an “idiot”.

“It’s a huge mistake to think like an idiot that big breasts on women seem erotic,” said Kamiya

The two have been squabbling away at each other for a good couple of months now.

Kamiya also randomly revealed he wasn’t gay.

“I am bald, but I am not gay.”

Riiight. Find more info over at D’Toid.

Ex-Team Ninja boss Tomonobu Itagaki has laid into Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya by saying if he’d made Bayonetta whilst at Tecmo, people would have thought him stupid.

“If I made a similar game as a game I made in the company I quit, people would say, ‘What an idiot, can’t he make anything else?’ Well, that is more or less the opinion I have for, uh, that Bayo-something game,” said Itagaki to 1UP at E3.

Of the character design, Itagaki weighed in: “Covered in hair, is she? I dunno, Mr. Kamiya must have a lot going through his head. Well, in any case, I would first recommend laser eye surgery. I’m sure he’s not that strapped for cash, right?”

Hack’n'Slash warz, ftw.

Sega’s Bayonetta is out for PS3 and 360 later this year.

More rambling through the link.

Eurogamer Portugal has posted a very nice Bayonetta video.

She definitely reminds us bit of a female Dante. Hit the link to watch.

Game’s out this fall for PS3 and 360.

Eleven new Bayonetta shots have popped up on IGN. An odd number for a game with an odd premise.

Still, it’s by Hideki Kamiya – therefore we’re intrigued.

The game is slated for PS3 and Xbox 360 this fall.
