Quantcast



Much ado has been made of Bayonetta's sucky performance on the PlayStation 3. Mostly by me, because it's easy to wind people up about that sort of thing. When Sega chose to first show the hot Platinum Games title on a PS3, the reaction was not exactly positive, with the frame rate issues providing a rather large bone of contention.

Well, someone decided to capture more recent footage of Bayonetta on the PS3, with some video caught from the Tokyo Game Show floor. From the looks of the video, it seems Sega has managed to iron over the problems and the PS3 port appears to be running quite smoothly indeed. Good job too. This game looks super promising, and if it's as great as I think it'll be, everyone should be able to get their hands on it.

Check out the vid and let us see what you think. I've also just managed to go an entire Bayonetta story without referencing my penis.

Oh.

[Thanks, August]

I had to leave this comment... Jim I swear to GOD you are over obsessed with this shitty game. All you do is rant about her ass and talk about how cool the game looks while commenting on her body and...

I just saw this trailer and shit my pants while growing a boner. Now I see the light!!!

That is all!

Jim: If you are so scared to click a link then I'll describe the image to you. It is bitch about the excessive number of "serve beer" ads present on the homepage.

You can't judge the performance of a 60 fps game from a 30 fps video, IMHO..

@TREND-KILLER:

Weird hips you say?
Small head? Not sexy time?
How dare you talk that nonsensical trash around here, buddy boy. Thems faightin' werds. You try getting a sweet name like Bayonetta, then we'll talk.
Wow, it's early isn't it? I'm stupid and just woke up. Don't hurt me, bro.

Instead of bitching out random Destructoid editors who can't do anything about it, why not email our support staff (details at bottom of blog page) or make a Community Blog about it? That way, people who actually *can* fix shit can work on it while editorial staff can concentrate on what they're paid to do.

The frame rate is blurry, and the clipping is horrible, at one point she runs through his arm!

I knew the problems would be ironed out eventually; a developer this focused on making great stuff wouldn't want to put a broken game on store shelves.

man, this is getting sloppy. the fact that this game is coming out at all is reason to be excited, but who knows i'm a fan of both god of war AND the devil may cry franchises. remember when people were excited about chun li's panties!

That looked wicked bad ass, at least the part where the demon comes out of the portal and swallows the monster whole. Otherwise, I really couldn't tell what Bayonetta was doing or how the monster reacted to what she was doing. Regardless, amazingly cool graphics and design.

I just now realized how badass this game is. I mean seriously, did you see that giant demon? Fuck yes.

Framerate looks great, with no problems. Also, that "dark matter" dragon looks sexy.

How does that possibly have anything to do with Jim Sterling? So what a movie is being marketed on the webpage. Everyone needs to make a little money. You don't pay to use this site, so be polite and be respectful to the staff that makes Destructoid possible.

Wut? Doesn't making a reference to making a reference about your penis count as making a reference?

That wasn't a link. If you want to call it a link, then learn how the website works.
