The new game is the work of WayForward Technologies, a developer best known for games like A Boy and His Blob, Contra 4, and Shantae, and not really for grimdark games.

It's also the developer's first Xbox 360 and PS3 project, due for XBLA and PSN this summer. Betrayal is a 2D side-scroller with "new characters, gruesome environmental puzzles and a full arsenal of lethal weapons including Rayne's signature arm blades" -- and, of course, a "deadly dose of bloodshed."

This shouldn't be developed for kids like their Batman game, so maybe this will finally be the WayForward game we know they can do.

I've never played a BloodRayne game. I don't remember anyone ever saying they were any good.

You missed the point entirely.

Wayforward 2D + HD + over the top M-rated shit could be good times. On the radar.

Yeah, Wayward+2D is a winning combo. I never played the first BloodRayne but I got the second one on discount and enjoyed it. Nice and violent with some decent action. This could be great.

What's wrong with their Wii and DS Batman games?

I thought they were way too easy. Plus the Wii one uses waggle bullshit.

I wholeheartedly agree, but how does it involve Wayforward?

You missed both of their points. Yoshi is saying a potential kick ass Wayforward game on a proper system (not a DS) and Phantom Dust was published by Majesco.

Yes, I want Majesco to do something about it. I will hound Majesco for forever.

Majesco is in a position to make a new Phantom Dust in the same way Atlus USA is in a position to make a new Demon's Souls or Cubivore.

It was a Microsoft Game Studios game.

Yes, I know. I'm not asking for logic. I'm asking them to do something about it, don't care what!

I believe the point Bacon is making, is that there is NOTHING they can do about it.

And I think you're missing my point entirely.

You're point is that you're going to beg a company to bring you a sequel that they can't and are powerless to do anything about? So your point is to act mentally deficient?

My point is just that I'm going to dream, idiot. It's not like I've sent an email to fucking Majesco telling them to make Phantom Dust 2, holy shit. Don't take things so fucking seriously.

Anyways, Bloodrayne. If this game is even remotely close to the great movie about it's predecessor, I am excited.

I remember the first game being ok. It came out early in the PS2 / gamecube lifespan, and looked and played like it. I never got around to playing the second one or watching the movie.

I don't see how they could make anything worse, really. I remember the first having a bit too much repetitiveness.

But I like short haired redheads in leather, sooo, I'll keep my eyes open.

Seems like a pretty fucking retarded point. Also a horrible way of trying to make it.

Well I didn't expect people to take it seriously. Sorry. And leave my it is out of this Cow.

Excited about this. BR2 was one of my favorite games of that gen. Rayne is an awesome character that deserves more games. I really wanted to know what was going to happen after the semi cliffhanger ending in the 2nd game.

Trailer

Nice art style, some of the platforming almost looks meatboy inspired.

WayForward is one of the few devs that can take a terrible IP and make something amazing with it.

Also, I think that this embodies the spirit of Yoshi's biggest request - an HD 2D Castlevania ;p

That trailer looks very kick ass.

I don't know how I missed this thread. I just watched the trailer yesterday. This game looks fuckin' awesome. I have the first two games and would have settled for another similar title, but this is even better.

The first review I've seen is very positive. I'll be on this later today when it goes up. Since Konami sucks, and Igrarashi sucks more, Hero is right that this is likely as close as we're going to get to a real Castlevania post-1994.

I saw today as it's release date - is that PSN? I would think XBLA would be tomorrow...

Yes, that's PSN.

This is the first Bloodrayne game i have ever wanted to play. eeee.

It's a fun button masher so far.

Nothing incredible.

I can't say I expected a PC port of this, but here it is. I might actually play it on there.

So random.
