Rumor: Bayonetta to be on cover of next month’s EGM

There’s not a lot of information on this, but we’re being told Sega and Platinum Games’ Bayonetta will grace the cover and be the feature story of next month’s EGM, one of the biggest video game magazines in North America. Hopefully, we’ll get a better explanation about the game, and even better, a solid release date!
Bayonetta, in development for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, puts you in control of a magic-wielding witch who brutally kills angels for reasons that haven’t been revealed. She’s so bad ass that she has a gun in her high heels. The game is one of four titles in development by Platinum Games under contract with Sega, which owns the IPs and publishing rights.
Hideki Kamiya, who has previously directed such stellar titles as Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry and Okami, is directing the game.

That Crucible is a lie, Sega says don’t believe what you’ve seen

A few days ago, a supposed gameplay video of Silicon Knight’s The Crucible leaked to the internet, but it appears it’s not the game the developer is creating for Sega, according to Steve Groll at Sega of America.
“That video is not the game that Silicon Knights is creating for us. I have no idea if it is a game they are working on for someone else, but it’s definitely not the project that Silicon Knights and Sega are producing,” Groll wrote to the MTV Multiplayer blog. “I can’t reveal any info about the game we currently have in development, but I can tell you that it is not titled ‘The Crucible.’ More news about our game coming soon.â€
Several smart Sega Nerds were a bit suspicious of the video since the game is supposed to be more of a survival horror title, and the leaked video looked more like a third-person, team-based hack ‘n’ slash. It seemed things just didn’t add up, so now we get to look forward to seeing what the game really is.
The only thing we really know about the game is that it will appear on the PlayStation 3, but no other announcements have been made for the rest of the platforms.
