It's no secret by now that Bayonetta on the PS3 is little more than a less-than-stellar port of the leading Xbox 360 version. Long loading times, poor framerate and altogether murkier graphics stand out to make Bayonetta inferior on the PS3, but it's now being reported that Western PS3 fans might not suffer as much as Japanese ones.
According to Gamekyo (translated by Wearetheinternetz), Sega and Platinum Games have "taken responsibility" for the slapdash port and have charged an engineering team from Sony itself with the task of bringing it up to par before the North American release. The team hopes to "guarantee" a version of Bayonetta that is equal to the PS3's considerable power.
Here's hoping they resolve the issue. Bayonetta is looking like it'll be one of 2010's standout action games and it would suck if one version was crappier than the other.

Any word yet if the US will see a special edition?
It was sad to see the best system get such bad performance on this game...
But I'm going with the 360 anyway. Can't fit a PS3 into my budget just yet.
fatty can fap with better framerate:D
The game is far from a masturbatory aid, you should play it first before making that call.
Is it a worse version than the 360 version? Yes, it is. Is the game still fricken' amazing and has my vote for GOTY2009? Yes, it is.
With such a wide gap between the Jap and US releases, I was wondering why they wouldn't try to spiff up the PS3 version.
MAKE IT HAPPEN, SONY!
I was going to get it on 360 but I prefer to game on PS3.
Here's hoping it pulls through!
It's not like the game is a technical powerhouse on 360...
it was made specifically for the 360, simple as that. porting that kind of software (for a third party like Sega, no less) is not that easy. plus the ps3 is a tough cookie to crack, developers seem to agree on this. That's why it's a good thing that Sony itself is involved in this.
Could you imagine if Sony took up a full time engineering pool to optimize the projects created by third party developers?
You can't see it, but right now I'm giving a standing ovation to Platinum and Sega for taking responsibility of a shadier PS3 port and to Sony for supporting a third party developer in a way I've never heard of.
In the end that shows dedication to the fanbase and is something I have to greatly admire. They could have let it ride and they still would have turned a profit from the PS3 version, but they went the extra mile. Well done.
the game is already in English, one of those games like DMC where English is the only spoken dialogue available.

GEEZ!

Seriously...I still fail to see what the point is to this game...other than giving spank material to the throngs of zit ridden gamergeeks who will unfortunately marry the first woman who allows their penis to penetrate their vagina...if such a thing could ever happen to those unfortunate souls at all.

This game sure has something going on, if both Famitsu and Edge have marked it so highly, few games ever get a 10. You shouldn't let any sexualised crap get in the way of a good game, as some gamers (sexually active or not, do you really care?) will get their jollies from anywhere. Wet and Tomb Raider have done this dance before, so it something global to games, like it or not.
I think Bayonetta and Dark Void will keep me happy in January. One Capcom game, and the other from former Capcom staff.
