[360, PS3] Bayonetta

[Dr. Nick]

Famitsu did something different this time.
10/10/9/9 for PS3 version
10/10/10/10 for 360 version

first time at least this gen that a multiplat released at the same time gets a different score across consoles.

I would like to see an answer to Joker's post as well.

Discussion about quality of ports and technical reasons shoudn't be held in game threads. We have a cross-platform development discussion thread for that. Game threads should ideally be about whether a game is fun or not, looks nice, is worth getting or avoiding, etc. with the occassional sensibly contained tangent as it crops up. Common recurrent tangents (why ports suck) should have separate threads. As they do...

I think this can be considered a dev doc or just an interview but here is a link.

Bayonetta Japan PS3/Xbox 360 Final Ver. Comparison Video

Oh dear. What a difference!

Not exactly the best quality video to be able to make any definitive judgements.

I also doubt we'd see dramatic differences between a demo and the full game released 3 weeks later.

 

[PowerK]

A frame rate comparison came across.

I guess that's the point. You can still tell the visual quality difference from that particular video let alone better quality ones. Beside, the video quality is pretty good. Not bad at all.

Yea, those come from our own PS360 over in the Framerate Analysis Thread.

Seeing that the PS3 and 360 versions are already out in Japan, I guess there is no difference to be expected except for patching it.

No wonder they didn't want to show the PS3 version in TGS?

Japanese sales reported so far.
93,000 for PS3
45,000 for 360

Mind you it seems like there are some importing the PS3 version. It may seem like Sega made the right choice.

Imports barely account for 5K if any though. It never mattered if a console was region free or not, some people always import. I was one of them for the first 3 years on the PS2 (having a Japanese unit only).

If someone can tell me how to link to a certain time using the yt tag it would be greatly appreciated.

Eurogamer review

The result is a game that exemplifies so much of what commentators claim has died in the Japanese game industry. A blast of creative brilliance, both technically accomplished, strategically deep and infused with rare imagination, Bayonetta represents the pinnacle of its chosen niche.

9/10

Not surprised. One of the most impressive demo's of this generation.

Too bad for the rest of 2010 that the GOTY will be arriving Jan 5th!

EDGE score: ***Bayonetta: 10(!)***
