Bayonetta 3 isn’t something Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya foresees happening in the future, despite the fact “gamers want so many sequels.”

“I don’t really have a problem with making sequels,” he said. “Above all, I want to make games that are fun. This is the most important thing for me. So next to new IP’s, I also like to make sequels.

“With the first title of a new franchise, there are so many good ideas, so many things you want to do. Unfortunately, you can’t use all of them in the game. In the sequel, you can use cancelled ideas from the first game. I do have the feeling most of those ideas are used when you reach the third game though and that developers only make a third game because the fans want it.

Kamiya was also asked about a possible sequel to Okami, something fans have been asking about for years.

“If I am able to, I will definitely make it,” he replied. “But gamers want so many sequels, I don’t even know where to begin.”

Saying this before the 2nd one is released. :/

Cmon... he didnt say anything about sales. He said about running out of ideas.

I don't think this has anything to do with sales, I mean look at Wonderful 101.  Its not sell all that well and he said he wants to make a sequel to that.

Apparantly he only worked on the first one.

I think Nintendo will get tired to niche sales coming to them from Kamiya. Then again, its cheaper than most western games to make Platinum title.

It would be a shame...but I'd rather see an Okami sequel!

Funny, I thought you were being serious for a moment

But any sequel is better than no sequel.

The only exclusive Microsoft can get in Japan is one by moneyhat or publish.

And when has CBOAT been right about anything?
