Ah well, MadWorld was a fun game, I'd buy this if it were about $30. It is 30 dollars and it even has returning cast from Madworld and combat just like Madworld I honestly don't know what videos you watched, I even got bonuses for knocking a guy into a jet engine.  And it's not a continuation of the Madworld story which is likely why the name change happened but it's the same characters doing the same things they... uhm... do... so it's the next game in the series in my eyes, and I'm having a lot of fun with it.  I do miss the announcers though, but the soundtrack is just as sick as Madworld.

Its not black and white

its not super bloody

it didn't look as funny and chaotic

and so on

looked like a open world fighter game with some similar characters.

I like to drink on the weekdays too

I had a full response to all of this but I lost it because of my internet bugging out... anyway the changes were for obvious reasons, like the small fanbase and little ability to reach a bigger market continuing that route.  Even then the old style is referenced with the 3 main colors being the main story line branches, Black side, White side, and Red side.  Combat is mostly the same, just less grab>throw>instadeath for most enemies, as a result things are a tad more balanced.  Still has a lot of humor but they did go with a more heavy handed story.  And there is a lot of gore so I'm not sure what to make of the not super bloody... I guess it lacks the splatter on the ground... while making up for it with punching a man into a pile of fleashy meat...

Anarchy Reigns is out, now? I remember going to buy that game a year ago and finding out the release date was pushed back. I think I shall buy it. Is it good?

"it's just silly what some people get upset about and other demographics don't."

with all the port begging i'm seeing i find that phrase hilarious

Madworld was a horrible game :|

a rarity. Maxwell.

i thought it strange to see Bayonetta2 was being released for the Wiiu, but i had no idea Madworld was being released for PS360.

Madworld, isn't really the level of Bayonetta2 so i can understand why. just 2 different levels of importance.

both are on the same level sales wise with the PS3 version leading the way. http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/game_comparison.php?reg=Global&ending=Cumulative&game%5B%5D=MadWorld+%28Wii%29+%5B22383%5D&game%5B%5D=Bayonetta+%28X360%29+%5B25464%5D&game%5B%5D=&game%5B%5D=Bayonetta+%28PS3%29+%5B25465%5D

Just a random thought, honestly I think fans will buy it on the console it releases on, just like I did with Anarchy Reigns and going to do with Bayonetta 2, it's just silly what some people get upset about and other demographics don't.

Just two different situations really.  On the one hand you have the legit sequel to one of the best action games to come out this generation.  On the other you have a "kinda" spiritual successor to a meh action game that really wasn't all that impressive.  So yeah, not that surprising of an outcome.  

No one cares about Anarchy Reigns.

We do know that this game is NOT a sequel to Madworld? Having some of the same characters doesnt make it so, hell the devs even said as much in a GI interview
