I was going through my daily dosage of Kotaku where I stumbled upon this blog post. Its about the new game thats about to be released called Bayonneta. Its leading character is a female and might I say i mighty sexy one at that. In the posts, Kotaku talked about the roles of Sexy symbols and how they affect the game industry. Also, a few other noticeable sex symbols were mentioned such as... umm lets see; oh yeah! Lara CRoft!! Enjoy the Read
Before beating up a towering boss, Sega's new hard-bodied heroine told the monstrosity to save the pillow talk for later. The games reporter sitting next to me, watching this cutscene, then said something.
"She's a bitch!" the reporter exclaimed.
Then he paused and re-phrased that: "A sexy bitch."
I've been to two demos of the Sega-published, Platinum Games-developed Bayonetta in the past year, each in New York at the top floor of the same hotel. And each has elicited a verbal response from a journalistic peer of... let's call it "attraction."
The last time, I had a reporter sit next to me, watch Bayonetta high-kick and unwrap her skin-tight (made of hair!) outfit so she could turn it into a giant boot weapon, and he said: "I really like the glasses." She's got the sexy librarian glasses, you see.
After that last demo, a Sega public relations person asked me if I thought Bayonetta had potential as a crossover character.
Maybe, I said, though her game might make her too weird a persona to bring her to that Lara Croft virtual celebrity status. Croft's Indiana Jones in a porn star's body and short shorts. Bayonetta fights angels to a jazzy soundtrack while colorful butterfly imagery springs off her body.
