Would you say Bayo and DMC are the modern beat em up games?

I mean, yes? They quite literally are just 3D beat em ups. The ones with the locked camera even more so.

Arguably. It's not that they're not the cream of the crop but rather that genres are so hard to define these days. Everyone wants to branch off the little differences each game has as an entirely new genre. Even the games present themselves as Stylish Hard Action and Infinite Climax Action. The whole thing has become so numerous.
Yeah, then there's that.
Benjamin Perry
Bayonetta is definitely a top tier action game franchise, and I mean actual action game not that generic tag used for nearly every game ever made
Jaxon Jackson
I'd say Yakuza is much more of a modern beat 'em up
Gavin Flores
No
God Hand is basically the only actual 3d beat em up I have seen
Gene in smash when?

What the hell does postmodernism have to do with anything?

Where do I find a gf like Bayo?
Levi James
In the afterlife, I’m afraid.
Ian Edwards
No, they're an evolution of the best em up genre.
Yakuza is what a modern beat em up looks like

There was one user that said short hair Bayo looks like his mom. Find that user and you find your girl.

No. The perspective is not sideways and there is no co-op, They are just generic action games.

They're not exactly the same thing, but I'd say they're an iteration of the same concept. Your archetypal "beat-m-up" like Streets of Rage or Final fight emphasizes co-op and utilizes a relatively simple move set, demanding near-perfect performance from the player(s) to complete the game as a way of providing challenge and extending play-time. Conversely, games like DMC and Bayonetta are almost exclusively single-player, and provide the player with a diverse roster of moves and difficulty options; their challenge comes from ranking systems. Ultimately, both games are designed to be played many times and provide the player a great deal of challenge, but they take different approaches. I think this is probably because old-style beat-em-up games are essentially arcade games; most of them literally were at some point. On the other hand, games like DMC came from an era of experimentation with 3D home console games which really shows in their often over-the-top art direction and unconventional emphasis on combat that is complex, but doesn't require you to mater it to beat the game.
TL,DR: Final Fight and Too Crude Dudes are basically DMC's and Bayonetta's parents, similar but still distinct in significant ways.

I've always felt like 'cuhrayzee' games were a modern offshoot of beat 'em ups, but with far more complex and modernized gameplay. At the same time, we do have the occasional more modern beat em up game, like the NMH games, Madworld, and even the Batman: Arkham games kinda.
