The resolution is the same, and the framerate is not some SotC-like abortion. It stays above 30fps most of the time during gameplay, the intro and car stages are the major exceptions. Not defending the port, but I don't find anything wrong in some people not noticing anything majorly wrong with it. If you don't have a 360 and you can find BayoPS3 for cheap it's fine.

Platinum Games: Bayonetta on PS3 was our biggest failure

Bayonetta has the same res on ps3. But lack a lot of filter, details & fps is terrible, of course.

How?
Ah, I see, I just remembered it being really blurry and washed out looking when I played the demo.
Framerate is important in an action game.
Can't blame him for thinking the resolution is lower, ps3 has some kind of vaseline filter that gave the feel of sub HD, it's was really noticeable during certain stages (the one in the plane) and in cutscenes.

Didn't they fix that through a patch?
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
iirc only load times some stability
like I said PS3 post patch is playable, but playing the 360 version is enlightening.

Not just that, but 60FPS makes all games on all modern displays look much sharper and more detailed, especially in motion, regardless of post-processing effects.
That patch didn't fix the framerate for parity with the X360 version AFAIR, just the loading and maybe some even worse instances of performance. For those that say that PS3 version not running at 60FPS is playable, it's true...but 60FPS enhances a twitch game like Bayonetta, not just visually, but for gameplay timing and control.
Nope.
Relatively. It keep more 30 fps more frequently than without patch but it's a 60 fps game after all, so a patch almost useless.
I would say the cutscenes are the most affected by the port. They seem to run at a constant 20fps, it's pretty terrible. I really don't understand what happened with the framerate, seems to run constantly 40% lower than the 360 version. it really is the worst port of the generation.
Maybe another reason I didn't notice was because I was playing on my old 1080i CRT TV, before I got a decent one. Still worked well enough to platinum it, so no biggie. I just didn't realize there was such a difference. I'd be curious to see them run side by side.
The problem is that game is very tough for the ps3 hardware; you can't believe me, but ps3 really suck in the transparancies effects & with 60 fps compared to 360. Bayonetta put ps3 in bad waters. But probably using dynamic res a la MGR, the problem can be overtaken.

It would be apparent right from the start. I would keep that CRT around for certain games if I were you.

Oh okay, I have both the 360 and PS3 version, while I think 360 version is better, I disagree with some that say the PS3 version is a broken horrible experience. Skyrim on PS3 is a horrible experience.
But the game isn't even coming out this year.
lulz.
Thankfully that beast is long gone. Space is a premium when you can only afford cheap tiny apartments.

Kind of relevant:
Bethesdas attitude to Skyrim PS3 was atrocious. They played everyone along for months with this kind of shit.
Vanquish is 1024x720p at 30 fps, of course it run fine on ps3. Imagine at native 720p & 60 fps how could run.
Too bad Kamiya doesn't like streets of rage and shinobi!
Eh, it runs the same on the 360(except it will tear there unlike the PS3 version). Of course neither of these dumb consoles could handle a game like Vanquish with its constant use of per-object motion blur and full screen motion blur at 60fps.
Vanquish is an example of good multiplatform development. MGR runs at 60fps so that comparison will be even more interesting.wat

Cool to see them owning up to it even if it wasn't 100% their fault.
Got the game on 360 due to the difference plus i wanted some "exclusives" to pad out my 360 library anyways LOL
And whats funny there were some that (rightly) had their doubts due to the prior games but still believed given the pitch of a "new engine" etc. So fucked up.

Really the only thing you can say to that, I guess.
Ask Sega.
So? They sure seem like the only studio talented enough to bring some of those franchises back to life. Not sure what the hell he's talking about in regards to Virtua Fighter.
What did he say that hasn't been said yet?
next week in game magazines
What did he say?

Is not that the point. Ask to you why MGR it isn't 720p & 60 fps, like Bayonetta on 360. You think it's a coincidence? 360 is more able to run game at 60 fps than ps3, especially at 720p.

Kamiya is a Sega Fan so don't say silly things
LOL.
You should stop saying silly things yourself. Or at least know what you're talking about.
First of all, Vanquish was 30 fps and ~720p on BOTH 360 and PS3 -- and looked better on PS3 because it didn't have screen-tearing.
The problem with Bayonetta PS3 wasn't the PS3, it was the fact Platinum didn't know how to develop for it at the time, so they handed it off to someone who wound up doing an incompetent job.
Since then, they've developed their games with PS3 as the lead platform. They confirmed this was the change to their approach back with Vanquish. Hence why Vanquish turned out just as well on PS3, and even better with no screen-tearing.
