Yeah, it's looking rough in a few spots. I think what's happening is that because the difference between PS5/XSX/PC has become pretty small in the last few years especially - when you look at Switch games - which aren't in the same ballpark, you notice more immediately that they look badly aged. The exception of course is if they have a specific art style with flawless AA. This wasn't so pronounced with the Wii U because it was much more comparable with games releasing in the same timeframe on competing consoles.
Launch PS4 games look better. Even Xbox One games look better.

Lmao @ this game
 
I want y'all to name 5 PS3/360 games that looks better than Bayonetta 3 at 60fps. Saying this looks like a 7th gen game is ridiculous.

This is early footage and graphically it looks better than Bayonetta 1 and 2, stop being babies

I feel like I'm looking at a game from 2010... and I don't just mean the graphics. The first episode was nice but I don't understand the hype around the franchise.

These games look progressively worse, Deadly Premonition looks better than this. Those backgrounds and some of the larger monsters are straight up Earth Defense Force 2025 tier. Gameplay appears mechanically simpler than bayo 2 which was already less complex than the first. I don't need 2 diet Bayonettas and yet im still gonna day one it, shame on me for perpetuating this lazy ass effort but i feel compelled to support the 5 dudes that worked on this.
sad to see poeple are so ignorant when it comes to game development.

the trailer is clearly running at solid 60 fps and please we are talking about Platinum Games, even Nier on ps5 looks bad. Also real smart comparing a game developed for a handheld with a tegra chip to kena. Now compare kena's gameplay to Bayonetta, please do that.

Nice X360 quality graphics.

Although it's understandable, it's on Switch, needs to run at 60FPS and all that crazy shit eat the memory bandwidth.

I am sure it's going to be great game, I am not commenting on that aspect

Also I like the new Bayonetta, looks better in my opinion.

I just cant get my fingers on it but let me rephrase this

If you still dont see anything wrong with this bayonetta 3 graphics look like ps3/xbox360 in 2021 then i have nothing else to say to you

Have a nice day

I can't view the trailer rn at work. The consensus seems to be it's worse than Bayo2 graphically but is it worse than Bayo 2 gameplay wise?

bad graphics and still gonna be the best action game next year, that should tell you more about game studios developing pretty turds.
 
Gameplay looks really awesome, graphics look underwhelming for 2021 but I can get over that, hate the redesign though. Definitely trying to be more family friendly in comparison with the other games. Shame the series went Nintendo exclusive, but I guess that's better than not having any sequels at all.

There isn't much gameplay shown, at least Bayonetta herself gameplay, the main new thing seems to be the monster controlling.

nope, gameplay wise looks fucking amazing, that's why people are talking about the graphics. We gotta be negative here.
Exactly my problem with a lot of threads on this place lately.
Its impossible to NOT be negative.
We wanted a new Bayonetta game....Bayonetta has never been a looker of a game but gameplay has been its pillar.
The gameplay looks amazing....and im not fussed about the graphics as long as gameplay is still tight.

Cant hate on the gameplay so lets say the graphics are wack, because if we dont hate we aint living.
 
The Switch hardware is so retarded for 2021. Those 3D textures and 3D models are so simple and not clean at all, effects are so dated!

I felt the same with new Kirby, I would have love to get a Switch for those but they both look so awful , so dated compared to Ratchet and Clank and Returnal on PS5, or even Horizon on PS4 pro, and "art is better" argument can't save those two games. It really shows!

People acting shocked it doesn't look technically good,you know platinums last game on this tablet was 30fps right? Seems a lot better than 2 at least.

The drama and hot takes from a 3 minute trailer in this thread are hilarious. Why are people thinking Platinum Games are going to drop the ball for their best rated franchise? We’re talking about the premium of action games here. They just can’t fuck up specially now that they’re being published by Nintendo. And all the graphics rage? We all know the limitations of the hardware by now. Why are people pretending to be shocked by this? So much nonsense.

So the fact that her clothes magically disappear from her body while fighting in high-heels, looks like a "hot librarian" edition of Barbie and constantly sucks on a lollipop wasn't part of the appeal huh?




Not even gonna post the costumes I saw when verifying you were trying to gaslight me...
bayo is sexy as dante is cool.
is that amout of too much that you can't take seriously but can't jelp but find alluring for how actually uncool it is

it's like liking a b movie. or be a fan of schwarzenegger, you know it's not objectively cool or sexy, but it tries hard so much that you can't avoid to find it alluring

it's since the first game that people say that don't find bayonetta sexy, and she doesn't look like she is constructed to be, physically i mean..she is freakishly tall with long spider legs..of course there are people that wuld fap to that but that applies pretty much to everything, anything is someone's kink.

what made bayo famous was the fact that by a mile at the time it was the best action game ever made..and still now it is imh the best when talking about crowd conrol and group fights..on a one on one basis has been dethroned by the last DMC

sadly then bayo 2 happened and ruined everything..that's why i cna't get hyped for this one with kamiya still away from the director's chair and just in as a supervisor

Looks pretty rough all right, but that's series standard, IMO. Even the first game wasn't a looker back in the day, with that same flat, grey, washed out look that fails to charm the eye but it instnbtly readable to the player. That, plus the Japanese VA told me this was Bayonetta 3 long before she showed up, even though the monster designs seem different for the series (from what I recall).

I also think the costume is the worst of the three, whatever the lore reason might be, but it's not so bad that it'll distract. I'm sure there will be skins for those who care. Get ready to shell out for amiibo if you don't already have them though. =/

Hoping the gameplay is as clean as it looks.

Launch PS4 games look better. Even Xbox One games look better.

Lmao @ this game
I mean, you're talking about a system that's about 1/3 of the Xbox 1's graphical power when docked, so... yeah.

Artstyle isn't doing the deficit any favors either. That's Bayo though.

impossible to say without playing it really.
bayo 2 looked like a bayo game on video but was not a bayo game once you play it

I was so confused at first because it didn't look like Bayonetta, but if it's Cereza then it makes more sense.

This is a system that can't handle pokemon sword's N64 assets at a steady 30 fps why are you all surprised a switch game looks awful?

What?

I am aware of who Cereza is, alternate Bayo looking a bit different would still make sense I'd say.
When I first saw pics of her I just didn't immediately think of the Bayonetta we know, I thought of someone else or a much younger teenage version of her.


Edit: On a graphical level tho the game looks horrible, when I heard of it I got really excited but in all honesty after seeing the trailer my hype is really low and I feel disappointed :/.

Great another thread with everyone getting butthurt about everyone's opinions jeez

Wat, the first one being butthurt about other peoples opinion I saw was you.

Switch is ~400gflop machine in docked mode. XOne is ~1300gflop machine.That devices aren't even is same league in terms of power.

Yeah but whose fault is that? Nintendo could have released a Switch Pro, even a docked only Pro so people like him (and me) could enjoy some games without having their eyes bleed at 600p and 30 FPS.

the thing is, there cannot be an alternative bayonetta because that's not how the time traveling mechanics in the series work at all, not different timelines but changing the past affecting the future, there's only one bayonetta/cereza

alternative universes might still be on the plate if the initial teaser is still worth anything (so old the game might have been rebooted several times at this point), since there we saw an old version of bayo dying to the new enemy..but personally i think that version of the game is long gone.

Most convenient time to say it of course looks like a PS360 game because it's made for a portable.
