VJ2 was honestly pretty mediocre and I doubt a third one would be much better

Combat isn't supposed to be "deep" in VJ. It's about building combos for a V rating. You already have all the tools you need to send enemies flying at every conceivable angle in the first one.

God Hand and Bayonetta are its functional successors considering their emphasis on dodging and retaliating, and obviously Wonderful 101 is pretty much its thematic successor. Masked sentai heroes brawling against an alien invasion with goofy puns for names.

Disappointing that we'll never see Viewtiful Joe 3? Yes. But it's not like you're really left high and dry.

Now, there never being a true successor to God Hand besides the stylish but stripped down Mad World and Anarchy Reigns to a lesser extent? That's the real tragedy.

This. They literally ran out of ideas after the first game. Not every IP needs to go on forever

>>321783442
Neither God Hand nor Bayonetta, or even W101 really play like VJ all that much though, even if there are elements of the game in all three of them.

>>321780715
The second one sucked so that's fine by me.

>>321783957
Fair enough, I'm just saying like >>321783627 suggests, VJ was pretty much perfect out of the gate and the two games they made after the fact weren't adding much at all.

Doesn't Kamiya still want to make VJ3?

We don't know what he could make with it.

>>321780715
What movies would they parody?

>>321784381
There's still lots of movies to parody.

>like any horror movie since the first game didn't parody any horror movie (I'm not sure about the second since I still haven't seen it yet)
>Men in Black
>Star Trek series (different enough from Star Wars imo)
>superhero movies (shit writes itself btw)
>The Lord of the Rings
>Inception
