So when's this out today?

23 minutes (for Europe atleast)

 

[Cyanity]

Someone PLEASE make an OT

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Quadro dip let's go.

 

[tuxfool]

Lol your post comes across as some right wing nut job "mainstream media...". Pc standards are different, it's always been this way.

I've been hearing on gaf for weeks now how the port is garbage, even in non pc gaming threads about the game.

How about you go into the PC performance thread, where people actually know what they're talking about?

But by all means, carry on repeating hyperbole from clueless idiots.

23 minutes (for Europe atleast)

That's when it will get announced officially, Steam doesn't update for another two hours

 

[Nzyme32]

So when's this out today?

Since the engadget article mentions deluxe being no extra cost till 25th April, I assume it is between now and then. Still, you'll know in less than 30mins when Sega officially announce it rather than an embargo break

 

[PantsuJo]

Triple dipping? Tripe dipping.

This GIF is like sex... But better.

 

[Seth Balmore]

Excellent news. The more people who can play Bayonetta, the better. <3

 

[keltickennedy]

 

[RyudBoy]

This is cool but I want Bayonetta 2. :/

 

[sixteen-bit]

It had some performance and IQ improvements IIRC, but also a weird colour filter that the original didn't have.

DF analysis concluded that it looks and runs best on X1 through 360 BC.

Totally irrelevant now that the definitive version is upon us!

He's primarily a PC gamer, so he knows what the standards are. But when people leave MSAA at 8 samples and then complain about performance, they don't know what the hell they're doing.

 

[texhnolyze]

Since this is apparently fine to post with no info to contribute, lets go a step further:

Oh god I'm dying here.

 

[ArchAngel]

That's when it will get announced officially, Steam doesn't update for another two hours

It will be 19,99&#8364;, Digital Deluxe with some bonus stuff will be 19,99&#8364; for a limited time, guess the site decided to release their info early as well after the leak

Available at 17:00. In 19 minutes

Any tips for us playing it for the first time? Difficulty?

(I'm probably late to the party and GAF has given you dozens of better tips.)

I found the pacing kind of weird during the early stretches (after the opening, which is one of the best in any game). So if you get bored just stick with it.

Probably the only really annoying non-obvious thing is the Alfheim Portals. These are hidden bonus challenges, and a lot of fun, but they can be in some really obnoxious areas you wouldn't normally look. Lots of obnoxious backtracking, that sort of thing. If you're interested in them I would grab a guide to find their locations. Waiting until after you finish the game is fine too. Just don't waste your time backtracking through levels to find them, it would kill the pacing dead.

I don't even remember what difficulty I played on (I assume normal), but honestly the game isn't that hard on most difficulties.

 

[Consequence]

This will probably be fairly light on hardware reqs, right? I'm running an i5 4460 and 1050ti. I'd love to get it at 60fps and better than 360 level of detail.

 

[robotrock]

It will be 19,99€, Digital Deluxe with some bonus stuff will be 19,99€ for a limited time, guess the site decided to release their info early as well after the leak

http://jpgames.de/2017/04/bayonetta-erscheint-heute-fuer-pcs-bei-steam/

amazing price

 

[trickyhero]

I can't find a steam page?

 

[Lexxism]

Pretty much what I expected. I wonder if I will get it. Never played it on WiiU. I'll wait for review I guess.

This is cool but I want Bayonetta 2. :/

Gotta contact Nintendo to bring it to your preferred system.

 

[fastmower]

This is cool but I want Bayonetta 2. :/

Bayonetta 1 is the better game.

 

[matrix-cat]

I'm going to buy this so hard that the people at Sega HQ are going to put down their cups of coffee and look around at eachother like "Did you... did you just feel that?"

 

[Sword Of Doom]

My point is that the narrative is going on here on gaf as well.

Don't trust everything you hear on GAF, specially if it's tech-related. Also people speaking with little to no knowledge is the PC standard also.

Again, something as small as hiding msaa behind "antialiasing" and having it on by default can make a game be a "bad port" to GAF and to the internet in general.

 

[FallingSputnik]

Buying this, never played it before..

 

[Dreavus]

Any info on gameplay tweaks, or is it a straight port? I would appreciate the QTE failures not counting as a death for example, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[marmoka]

This is cool but I want Bayonetta 2. :/

Buy a Wii U.

 

[Hatty]

This is cool but I want Bayonetta 2. :/

Buy a Wii U and The Wonderful 101 while you're at it

Spoiler

Bayonetta 1 is better anyway

 

[T.O.P]

Hoping for someone to mod the Bayo 2 character model into the game

Short Hair >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[DooMAGE]

Bayonetta 1 is the better game.

hahaha no.

 

[tuxfool]

I'm glad you frame it as a narrative, and not something based in fact. Again, gaf isn't free of clueless idiots.

 

[Akronis]

You are in for a treat of a game my friend.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Any word on system requirements?

Also what kind of gamepad would you guys recommend?

 

[Hektor]

I'm so fuckin' in. SEGA redeemed

 

[Grief.exe]

Tweaks like that are likely outside of the scope of the project.

 

[levious]

Spoiler is NSFW.



Come on guys... GAF has a NSFW policy. Don't post lewd pictures like this.

He was slimed by a spooky ghost.

 

[fastmower]

hahaha no.

Fine...better story and hairstyles.

 

[diaspora]

Get a refurb Wii U and pick up a copy.

Don't think you can go wrong with the XB1 controller.

What I'm saying is that narrative goes on here as well and that post is very silly. Acting like the "mainstream sites" are somehow involved in some conspiracy against pc gaming

 

[marmoka]

Still 1 hour 16 minutes left for the official announcement of something we all know what it is.

Sega should finish that countdown and make it 100% official for once.

 

[BennyBlanco]

This is cool but I want Bayonetta 2. :/

CEMU will get there eventually

 

[Gbraga]

PC OT when?

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

This is cool but I want Bayonetta 2. :/

Woah you lucky guy! Did you miss that it came out like 2,5 years ago? Now turn on your Wii U and enjoy

 

[NeoRaider]

Mess around with using dodge offset:

Nothing mentioned, but the PC port of MGR Revengeance added boss checkpoints that you could load from the main menu so you didn't have to play the whole level if you just wanted to fight the boss. It'd be a godsend for this game.

Wheres the OT fam
