Director Hideki Kamiya wants to be upfront about his new project, Bayonetta, as much as possible and wants to let gamers know what they're getting into. "With Bayonetta, we would hate for someone to think it is a heartwarming tale and then buy the game to discover it is really a sadistically hard game (I hope...)," says Kamiya in his first entry on Bayo-Blog.

Kamiya warns not to let the gentle-looking female lead fool you, pointing out that Bayonetta is full of "hardcore battle action." We think this comes through clearly enough, judging from the Devil May Cry vibe we've picked up from the past couple of screenshots and vids.

*Wonders about the achievements/trophies*

Yeah, I imagine we'll get something along the lines of the original DMC3.

Compared to DMC3 DMC4 was too easy. So who's picking this game up?

Busted! He obviously doesn't mean it

The game will feel (sexual?) pleasure in beating and torturing me?

That doesn't sound like fun. I had no idea anyone LIKED being tortured and beaten.

There's a market for everything.......

Something like DMC3? I can ace that. As long as it isn't Ninja Gaiden hard, I'm cool.

I could deal with niunja gaiden, so I think this wont be as hard, maybe like dmc3 like some said.

Oh no, time to break controllers :(

If it's going to be 'sadistically hard', think of the achievements/trophies
