It’s been a good 2-3 days since it’s happened but let’s talk about Hideki Kamiya and Bayonetta 3<\/strong><\/a> for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not aware, recently Platinum Games founder and former Capcom video game designer, Hideki Kamiya who directed Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, and Viewtiful Joe is trending on Twitter for a few days, and has still been trending as of the writing of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason? Hellena Taylor, the original voice actress for Bayonetta up until she was replaced by Jennifer Hale in Bayonetta 3, posted on Twitter<\/strong><\/a> that she wasn’t reprising her role in Bayonetta 3 because she was only offered an alleged USD$4,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since this is quite a layered subject, let’s take a look at the timeline of events and what could happen to the future of Bayonetta 3 as fans are calling for a boycott, Hellena Taylor, and Hideki Kamiya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Way back in September of last year, when a fan tweeted to Taylor that they couldn’t imagine Bayonetta without her voicing the titular character, the voice actress responded with a cryptic “Well you might have to.” on her Twitter. Naturally this lead to speculation for months, if not nearly a year on whether or not she was reprising her role or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
