Hideki Kamiya (Devil May Cry) is heading up this new IP, backed by other notable names such as Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil) and Atsushi Inaba (Okami; Viewtiful Joe). Their new development studio is called Platinum Games and comprises former members of Capcom and the now defunct Clover.
Anyway, their first big project is Bayonetta - a "Climax Action Game". Bayonetta is a dark sorceress who battles angels using firearms, namely bayonets and custom-made shoes with guns attached!
The game is scheduled for a 2009 release for both the PS3 and 360. Oh, and it's being published by SEGA for whatever that's worth.
Man, I can't wait to see what becomes of this. It's destined for greatness!
Here are the first pics:

This somewhat feels like Bullet Witch on steroids. Oh well, worth a look I suppose.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
