Bayonetta looking different accross platforms during demo event.

Ah the usual "what an ugly game" screenshots parade. What you peasants fail to understand is that Bayonetta is a game that is expressed through gifs, not "still frames of bump mapping and bullshit".

And Leonardo DaVinci can take some pointers from 4th grade artwork.



It really isn't up for comparison. Two distinct developers and styles.
 
I just can't get pass the character design of the main character. It's more off putting than I would thought I would have originally felt, can't quite put my finger on it, I guess it's her lanky design with her skintight nonsensical outfit that does it. The latter is usual standard fair I guess considering how devs have been designing girls in action in games but her structure and overall look is just something else.
 
Wowwwwwwww people are defensive.

I will wait and hear impressions before buying, but I will probably get the PS3 version unless there are big big problems.

720p yo. I've seen HD 60fps videos of this thing too. DMC4 eats this thing for breakfast.

Three things:

1) Capcom games tend to eat a lot of other games for breakfast. There next-gen games all had strong budgets, and they have good tech to back it.

2) DMC4 looks a lot better than Bayonetta because DMC4 is a bit more sterile than Bayonetta. Less special effects, fewer enemy counts (PC-version FTW) and overall less on-screen carnage

3) Bayonetta's beauty comes from playing it. The speed, the fluidity, the framerate, the scope, the intensity, the special effects etc.

Many GAFFers and journalists have played Bayonetta, and all of them said it not only that it plays beautifully, but in motion, looks beautiful.

Obviously, the above comments are for the 360 version of Bayonetta... >.>

As Bayonetta PS3, it was demo. No demo represents the current build, most demo's are easily 4 + months old.

Also, Bayonetta was delayed to October, it was set to come out earlier in Japan. This delay gives up in that it seems PG recognizes how crap the Ps3 version is cimpared to the 360 and will likely do all they can do improve it.

Or, JUST BUY THE FUCKING 360 VERSION FOR FUCKS SAKE. Multiplatform games looking better on the 360 isn't the exception, it's the norm. Get used to it.
 
NO SALE!

I think I'm going to stop supporting Devs that can't make identical ports.
And I don't care about their excuses, whatever they may be.

Looking better =/= running better. There's a reason why people are upset about this news. If the game runs at a piss poor frame rate, then it is inexcusable. Not many people care about more detail to ground textures, more or less bloom, less shadow quality, etc.

Funny thing is I bet you Bayonetta will likely be the "funner" game of the two. Hm..
Click to expand...

Ya probably. The game is flashy as fuck, a lot more combat focused, and avoids realism. Perfect formula for fun if you ask me. That's what video games are about.

Yeah, hence why Naughty Dog could learn a less or two from Kamiya.

Well I never said Uncharted wasn't fun. I'm just saying these are completely different style of games from two completely different genres. I really don't see how Uncharted is relevant in the discussion aside from the occasional jab that is being thrown at the game.
 
People actually getting angry about fucking Bayonetta? :lol Well ok, even Ghostbusters caused some meltdowns.

And what's up with the Uncharted 2/Naughty dog comments?

If the PS3 version doesn't shape up, I'll be passing. Unless it's a big online game like CoD, I go PS3 for my multiplatform, especially games like DMC and this.

Really? So you'd rather not play a game you want just because of a fucking system preference when you own both systems? Jesus fucking christ, what the hell is wrong with some of you people. Will the 360 controller sense your loyalty to Sony and tranmit cancer to you while you play Bayonetta or something? It's not that different.
 
was planning to get the 360 version anyways.

Btw, Thread needs more Killzone/uncharted gifs. disappointing first couple of pages from SDF, was expecting a better effort.

No, simply because if people are assuming Naughty Dog should be giving lessons to Kamiya - I think it's interesting to note that all 4 of Kamiya games have had higher critical reception than Uncharted.

So, interesting concept on who needs to be teaching who.

Surprised it took this long.

Whatever you say SDF.

You are joking, right? Unless SDF now means Sensibility Defense Force.
 
am i the only one that thinks "to avoid a busy holiday season" sounds better to shareholders than "our PS3 version is behind because it wasn't the lead SKU, and we still have work to do"?

yeah, they're showing it 'publicly' so it's subject to criticism and being pointed out, but i highly doubt the busy holiday season is the ONLY reason it was delayed. they're SO GLAD they get more time to fix the PS3 version and you know it.

(but im still predicting some small issues being present when it's released)

man i understand being upset about this but going so far as to say that the game is ugly is fucking ridiculous

Why? I'm comparing it to something like DMC4-- it's just not in the same class technically (few games are compared to Capcom's flagship titles), and artistically...whatever floats your boat.

I don't think you're going to find a bigger Kamiya fan. I don't care what the game looks like. But what is it really doing that makes it so beautiful? I mean, people are saying things like "beauty comes from playing it" and refer to fluidity. It looks like DMC4 with weaker lighting and messier texturing.

And I get that you "need to see it in motion" and "play it"-- and I would agree, it looks much better there than in screenshots-- but people dismissing screenshots for microscopic gifs skipping every third frame have completely lost the plot. I can't make out half of what's going on in these things.

I'm so angry at Platinum Games I can barely type this post. Look at Killzone 2 and see what you can do with the PS3.

but is it worth the investment. keep in mind it is a business they are running.

SEGA just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Action game culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in First Person Shooters where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in the character action game genre, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the weeaboo public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Bayonetta, nor will they purchase any of SEGA's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but SEGA has alienated an entire market with this move.

SEGA and Platinum games, publicly apologize and cancel Bayonetta for 360 or you can kiss your business goodbye.
