Can't wait to play Bayonetta in my 3D Vision glasses
For me it jumped from 4 hours left to 6.5 hours left. What is this madness?
I had the same thought half an hour ago and just remotely logged into my PC at home to add it to my library. Can't do it from the website because it's free.

Yeah, I was thinking about the same thing after seeing the Kamiya image. I can bust my 3D Vision 2 glasses out which I haven't used in a couple years. The 3D Vision support on my new PG258Q is supposed to be amazing.

Yeah, it's now 6 hours and 25 minutes for me too.
It seems they've now locked it down to a firm time.
WTF?
Whatever it is, it's being done an hour before Steam updates for the day.

Previously it was an hour. This better not be another fucking troll, SEGA.

Yes, 18:00 CET aka when Steam updates. Hype overload.
HL3 confirmed.
i guessed it was a bit too embarassing to have your own team fooled by it lol

Becoming very hard not to get hopes up now c:
Target datetime in the Javascript file (they are on "city6.js" now) includes fixed timezone - it reads lastDate: '04/11/2017 16:00:00 GMT'.
If anybody doesn't get the correct countdown, I suggest you do a cacheless reload of the website. F5 / CTRL-R / CTRL-F5, it's one of those.

Nope. Missed opportunity to say the least.

I imagine that in mind of a Japanese boss releasing games on a part-based platform featuring no end-it-all platform owner and content policy, milliards of amateur releases, users that regularly subvert programs' content/performance/behaviour, virtually absent quality-of-jerk-dev-life features such as marking savefiles as impossible to copy and a relatively simple access path to piracy is humiliating, like writing to old Sci-fi magazine instead of exclusively releasing books. It's just a guess, but PC isn't too popular as a game platform in Japan, and I imagine some of the post-hoc rationalisation customer-wise and local sale-wise could be leaking into it.
Don't releases on Steam usually get leaked ahead of time by either a steamdb entry or some ratings board certification? I'd be really surprised if they'd just kind of stealth-release Bayonetta on Steam at the end of the countdown. I'd expect an official announcement for a release later this year.
This better not be the slowest burning April Fool's of all time, though.

Watch the preorder page go up in 6 hours, release date "Summer 2018". ;_;
Registry-related leaks are few and far between, and Valve doesn't require a rating for distribution.
Thank you, I wasn't sure.

My countdown just says 00:00:00. It finished two hours ago (Western Australia).
So four more hours from now or six? Gotta get that sweet PC Bayonetta, or maybe just a pre-order, or maybe just a store page to add to my Wishlist. Or maybe just disappointment.

Namco is top of the class these days with several simultaneous releases though.

There is no good reason to believe it's four, that would focus the clock on Moscow and middle east. If they're focusing on most of Europe it's six, if on UK it's seven, if on US it's twelve or more - though given the PC focus the latter is unlikely. Coincidentally, Steam updates in seven hours.
The UK countdown timer is the accurate one. Sega Europe is based in London, and more pertinently the countdown is scheduled to end coincident with the delisting of 8-bit Bayonetta.
Edit: Err, the image was an hour off, sorry. Fixed. That also means the countdown timer will hit zero an hour after 8-bit Bayonetta is delisted.

Refresh the countdown page by clicking (ctrl + f5) I'm in portugal and as some of you know we have the exact same timezone as the UK and right now it counts 5h37. So gaf countdown is probably wrong.
Edit: Oops, he edited it meanwhile i was posting.

I didn't see it before, but I think it's actually off now, because of scourge of us vampires
daylight saving time
EDIT: Checked it. Steam at least rotates discounts one hour later than the image implies. See Payday 2 store page for example.

Yeah, I refreshed the countdown page and it seems accurate now. Five and a halfish hours to go until that hot Bayo goodness.
Nah, it's accurate now. I'm a dumbo and always initially forget to adjust for Daylight Savings in the UK when using Secondapps' countdown generator to spit out a GMT-based timer.
Indeed.
Tekken 7 isn't really on that list, Bandai Namco simply forgot to remove it from the search on Steam, it will disappear in Japan as the game goes on sale in the rest of the world, just like all their past games.

I need my Bayo fix! Sold my WiiU and the only game I am seriously missing is... You guessed it... Bayonetta. My PC and Switch are ready, though!
