PS3 Bayonetta looks like crap?

September 01, 2009 in Previews comments 14

At an event held in Tokyo over the weekend, 1UP got to view the debut of Bayonetta on the PlayStation 3. Unfortunately, it was "very blurry and the framerate was all over the place". Here's hoping this will be fixed before the game's release.

While the 360 version on display looked crisp and smooth, the PS3 version was very blurry and the framerate was all over the place. During one portion of the demo, a crazy scene where you are jumping off of falling parts of a giant clock tower, it was often hard to keep track of the action because of the graphical issues on PS3.

    I'm assuming it won't be if the developer didn't offer a disclaimer. That's unfortunate.

    OH GOOD CHRIST, NO.

    Not... Not Bayonetta... Any game but Bayonetta...

    Isn't Bayonetta just that God Of War rip-off? No thanks, I'll pass...

    But I doubt this is something that won't be fixed. I actually think it's a bit irresponsible of 1UP to be throwing this out there, when it could be caused by any number of factors. Excess heat, scratched or dirty disc, malfunctioning console etc.

      It's more of a Devil May Cry rip-off, tbh. But with more boobs.

        Devil May Cry rip off? It's made by the creator of DMC, how the hell is he ripping off his own game? Please do explain...

          Of course he can. Ripping off isn't just stealing someone else's ideas, it's just ripping something from one thing and plastering it over another; the creator is ripping his own game off.

      " Isn't Bayonetta just that God Of War rip-off? "
      no, it's not a rip-off of that NG clone. Bayonetta is directed by Hideki Kamiya, DMC lead designer.

      anyway, this is bad. I actually thought about importing this for PS3, but guess I better wait for the EU 360 version.

    I HOPE it would be fixed, otherwise there will be problems....

    I imagine that DMC4 plays just fine on the PS3? If so, it shouldn't be hard to imagine this being fixed before release.

      Yeah, speaking from experience, DMC4 runs very smoothly on the PS3. I'm sure it's just due to an early build of the game, nothing major.

          The point is that it's a demo. They likely worked on the demo earlier on than the final version of the game, possibly going at a slower rate with the conversion to the PS3...or perhaps the demo was rather done in a quick fashion. Nevertheless, the demo is in no way the final build of the game.

          And the NA and EU version come out in 2010. It can be fixed.

    But . . . I've been saying Bayonetta looks like crap from the start! Though it just plain looks that way on every console!

    Dunno why this game gets so much hate. Platinum Games does good work, and Bayonetta was pretty fun to demo at E3.
