(Japanese) http://platinumgames-blog.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2008/01/post_0bc9.html http://platinumgames-blog.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2008/02/post_5856.html I’d love to write on there again if I ever find some more free time. So, have any of you had the chance to check out the higher difficulty levels in Bayonetta? Actually, I did some of the spot checking on the upper two levels of difficulty during the end of the development. The request was to make sure “a normal human being can get pure platinum if they try really hard.” As I am apparently “representative of normal human beings” I worked on balancing the game up until the last days before the deadline. In Bayonetta, accumulating points is a rather important element of the gameplay, and one of the ways this can be accomplished is via the various interactive action events. I tried to avoid really complicated inputs, and focused directly on pressing the buttons and rotating the analog stick during these sections... Suffice it to say, in order to earn points, I would play from morning until night, pressing buttons and rotating the analog stick to the very limit over multiple play-throughs, and ending up with a fat right forearm in return. I think I hit on a new sort of exercise equipment. (That only works for your right forearm...) Amongst all her moves, from the guns to the summons, there is one pillar that explores the more sadistic side of Bayonetta’s actions – the anti-Witch Hunt moves known as Torture Attacks. Iron Maiden & Guillotine The first one that I thought up was the Iron Maiden. It was the easiest one to think up, and very fast to nail down, thus becoming the basis for all the designs that came after. The main part of the design is the face design patterned off of real Iron Maidens used during the Middle Ages. However, just tossing something into the game like that wouldn’t be very interesting, so I gave it a little extra organic movement for kicks. That we went all the to making the Iron Maiden belch is kinda in line with what you see in the game. ]]> http://platinumgames.com/2009/12/24/the-weapons-of-bayonetta-%e2%80%93-vol-3/feed/ 6 Johnny jhonny 画像2 画像3 画像４ 画像5 http://platinumgames.com/2009/09/17/the-weapons-of-bayonetta-2/ http://platinumgames.com/2009/09/17/the-weapons-of-bayonetta-2/#comments Thu, 17 Sep 2009 01:25:51 +0000 Muneyuki "Johnny" Kotegawa http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/?p=1837 ]]> http://platinumgames.com/2009/09/17/the-weapons-of-bayonetta-2/feed/ 29 Johnny 画像１ 画像2 画像3 画像4 画像5 http://platinumgames.com/2009/06/10/the-weapons-of-bayonetta/ http://platinumgames.com/2009/06/10/the-weapons-of-bayonetta/#comments Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:12:07 +0000 Muneyuki "Johnny" Kotegawa http://platinumgames.com/?p=1440 ]]> http://platinumgames.com/2009/06/10/the-weapons-of-bayonetta/feed/ 34 Johnny 画像１ 画像２ 画像３ 画像４
