Devil May Cry creator makes Bayonetta a Platinum affair

When Clover Studios (Okami) was shut down by Capcom, many gamers shed a tear mourning the loss. Eventually, key staff from this ex-Capcom studio moved on to create PLATINUM GAMES. Today, Sega announced an exciting partnership with the team, and three titles have already been announced, with one going to PS3.
Bayonetta is heading to PS3, and it comes from Hideki Kamiya, creator of the Devil May Cry series. This new action game has players facing "countless angelic enemies ... in a game of 100% pure, unadulterated all-out action." Players are encouraged to use "outlandish" finishing moves in stages that are "a veritable theme park of exciting attractions" (Sega's words, not ours). The game isn't expected until 2009, so stay tuned for more info.

I'm assuming this is something the likes of God of War 3 and Ninja Gaiden II, so good luck if you want to compete with either of those.
Still, Okami was awesome, and Kamiya certainly deserves a chance, so here's hoping for a third method of beating the living hell out of evil.

By the way, the protagonist is only allowed to wear up to three belts, okay? We don't need another hero who looks like a mummy wrapped poorly in bacon.
