Support NeoGAF

[Gbraga]

Get that, more so meant I didn't know if there were issues and workarounds needed (as has sort of become tradition with many Japanese pc releases as of late...)

Surprisingly none. The only issue is that MSAA isn't working, so if a patch comes out and you get a huge performance hit, you know why. Better to just leave that disabled and downsample until they fix it.

 

[maskrider]

Bought ! Installing.

 

[Ganado]

Didn't like this game at all when it launched. Bought it again to try it again and to show Sega there is a market for their games on PC.

😎

Im in the same boat.

 

[Nzyme32]

You won't have any problems. Even @4K i am pretty sure.

Sadly not, but I can appreciate it would have taken a fair bit more work.

Also 16:10 and other "taller" aspect ratio's get black bars at the top and bottom. Shame there is no 21:9 as it looks great in Nier (with the exception of the UI not respecting the ratio

Being Back Never Felt So Good! Bayonetta is Out Now on PC

Bayonetta is back! SEGA Europe can reveal that PlatinumGames' universally acclaimed action masterpiece is available via Steam on PC, today right here. Experience the over-the-top stylish action in 60fps, at unlocked HD resolutions. For a limited time only, the Digital Deluxe Edition is available at no extra cost to all customers who purchase before Tuesday 25th April.

The Digital Deluxe Edition includes a 5 track soundtrack sampler and digital art book from the original Climax Edition, enhanced with even more concept art, and exclusive wallpapers and avatars.

From PlatinumGames' legendary director Hideki Kamiya; of Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry fame, SEGA brings one of the most universally acclaimed character action games of all time, Bayonetta, to PC. Bayonetta is the last survivor of an ancient witch clan who keep the balance between light, dark and chaos. Entombed to protect herself – and the world as we know it – Bayonetta is discovered and revived after 500 years, sparking a chain of events with cataclysmic repercussions.

Thrust straight into battle, with only one clue to her past, Bayonetta must discover the truth and fight for the future. Her daunting conquest sees her face off against countless angelic enemies and giant foes in a game of 100% pure action.

”We are dedicated to bringing high-quality, best practice PC conversions of our back catalogue games to our fans, and Bayonetta was a great fit." Said John Clark, Senior Vice President of Commercial Publishing for SEGA Europe. ”Bayonetta is one of the most often requested PC conversions of our games, so finally being able to launch it on Steam is fantastic. There's more to come!"

Bayonetta follows Typing of the Dead, Valkyria Chronicles and the SEGA Mega Drive Collection which SEGA has successfully converted for Steam. Keep up to date with all SEGA news on Facebook facebook.com/Sega and Twitter twitter.com/SEGA.

Vanquish in 2 years people lol

Here's some quick footage with cold hands and none of the extra moves. Hopefully it gets some mods/Cheat Engine tables; there's no extra features aside from the Japanese voice support. Whether this ends up being like DMC4 PC and having a bunch of awesome training/replay value features is up in the air. Since this isn't on MT Framework, mods might take more effort than most are willing to put in. Metal Gear Rising still hasn't gotten many game changing mods, but perhaps this game will have a larger community.

Im in the same boat.

Hoping for the PSP Valkyria Chronicles games tbh, and for Capcom to see this and release viewtiful Joe/okami.

🤞

Bsyonetta

 

[Atolm]

This will be funny if they patch it in and people left it at 16x

I have a 1080 as well and I"m running it at 5k no problem.

Surely 1080p w/ MSAA x16 won't be more demanding? I guess...?

Btw load times between SSD and consoles are night and day. Remember the training loading screens? Say goodbye to them because you pretty much won't be seeing them anymore.

 

[Nzyme32]

UK Steam folk know what's up

No 1 = Bayonetta
No 3 = Nier

 

[Sinatar]

Downsampled from 4k

 

[guybrushfreeman]

Legs on NeiR have been amazing

 

[Levito]

Bought, I never got far in the original release because my only option was the PS3 version which was reeeeaally bad.


Can't wait.

 

[Kaleinc]

Sadly not, but I can appreciate it would have taken a fair bit more work.

Also 16:10 and other "taller" aspect ratio's get black bars at the top and bottom. Shame there is no 21:9 as it looks great in Nier (with the exception of the UI not respecting the ratio

So basically it's 16:9 only

Platinum gon' eat

 

[GRaider81]

bought

 

[Yappadappadu]

Who was behind the port? PlatinumGames themselves?
The settings menus remind me of Nier Automata.

 

[Paragon]

So basically it's 16:9 only

And yet they're using images like this on the Steam page for it:

What the hell, Platinum?

 

[ezekial45]

I'm betting they must be really kicking themselves for not pushing PC releases sooner. These launch numbers, in addition to Nier's success, are very encouraging. Platinum's got a bright future on PC.

 

[Nzyme32]

Platinum. There is a dev diary in the OP where Kamiya et al discuss it

 

[Garrett Hawke]

probs just cropped to get rid of the hud

Downsampled from 4k

YAAAAAAAAS CUM THRU!!!!!!!!!

 

[LucidMomentum]

It's gonna be a good evening.

Hell yeah.

 

[Cyanity]

No G2A ultimate edition with a pair of leather boots shot with real live ammunition?

 

[Various Artists]

Bought. This is my first triple dip. I looked at the recommended specs. Is a 970 enough to push this at 4k?

 

[Jawbreaker]

You guys better all buy this shit if you want SEGA to see how viable a third game would be with PC sales to back it up.

 

[CertifiedFP]

Typing of the Dead, Valkyria Chronicles and the SEGA Mega Drive Collection

Sonic Lost World am cry. LOL.

Hope Valkyria 2 is next, just for the hope of online multiplayer for it.

Spoiler

Or the pipe-dream VC3.

And yet they're using images like this on the Steam page for it:

What the hell, Platinum?

Cropped.

 

[copelandmaster]

Waaaaayyy more than enough to push 4k.

I'm not sure vert- would be a great implementation of more widescreen

 

[Metalingus5150]

Bought the game. Hope we get more support on PC from Sega.

 

[Ridaxan]

Purchased and downloading. Is it terrible to be wishing really hard for a port of number 2 as well? I have it on WiiU, but I'd prefer it on steam.

 

[Various Artists]

Waaaaayyy more than enough to push 4k.

Right on. Thanks a bunch. Can't wait to try it out. It was my favorite game last gen.

 

[TI82]

I will say I love Platinum's transformers and legend of korra games now, so hopefully this resonates with me more. At the very least we can hope they get to do more licensed action games.

Samurai Jack maybe...?

 

[xanavi]

Bought. Easiest decision of my life.

 

[Fujinn]

Aaaaaaaaaaaand bought

 

[TP]

BEAUTIFUL

I've been waiting for this since 2009

 

[Afrodium]

Woah, $20 is a steal. I think it's time I found out what all this Bayonetta hype is about.

 

[King Gilga]

No ultrawide support? Meh.

 

[Paragon]

probs just cropped to get rid of the hud

Cropped.

Well yes, that's obvious in retrospect.
You look at an image like that on the store and it doesn't appear cropped, it looks like the game supports wide aspect ratios.

I'm not sure vert- would be a great implementation of more widescreen

Definitely not. At least not if the game doesn't have FoV controls.

[Poetic.Injustice]

Why did my old GPU have to die yesterday?? 😢

 

[TI82]

No mention of Sonic Lost World :lol

as a fervent sanic hater, sonic lost world is actually enjoyable imo

 

[He1nekenP1ss]

I played the awful PS3 version (and liked it nevertheless!!), the Wii U one but I might triple-dip the Steam version if it runs fine enough on my aged PC (GTX 660)

 

[Gitaroo]

can the 970 do 4k 60fps?

 

[Grief.exe]

Downsampled from 4k

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

can the 970 do 4k 60fps?

It's possible, but if it's not you can always downample from a step down if performance isn't there (~1800p/1440p/etc).

 

[Acidote]

We need people to start modding this. Even if it's just for screenshots.

 

[SapphiCine]

Wow. Hope this does well so we can get Vanquish.

 

[Coda]

can the 970 do 4k 60fps?

I have a 980M Geforce and wondering if I can do 4K as well. Probably on Medium or lower settings.

 

[Varg]

Opened up steam and couldn't believe the thing is 20 bucks . Impulse price for a new big release like this . Only played a bit of the game on 360 after renting it and I can't wait to dip really into it this time .

 

[Jazzem]

Nice one Tempted to grab this soon, or at least down the line. Happy to hear it's a good port also.

What do people think the chances are of the Wii U Nintendo costumes being modded in?

 

[DizzyCrow]

Can a old ass laptop with HD4000 run it decently? Only option right now
