After readings this part: "At the time we didn’t really know how to develop on PS3 all that well, and whether we could have done it… is irrelevant: we made the decision that we couldn’t. But looking back on the result, and especially what ended up being released to users, I regard that as our biggest failure.”

I can only think: if only Bethesda was this humble.

It's okay Plat, it's just a shame that Bayonetta 2 won't be for PS360. There they could redeem themselves.

 

[Tenbatsu]

In other words he meant that SEGA was shit. Lol.

 

[jimmypython]

SEGA pretty much ruined all 5 games from Platinum. So staying away from SEGA is definitely a right decision.

Had a lot of fun with the PS3 version of the game. Got the 360 one recently and I don't have any more fun with it than I had originally so the port didn't affect my opinion of the game at all. Though it's good to see that they acknoledge their mistake and being honest.

It is the same dev that fooled people into thinking they're not using Gamebryo tho lol

 

[Typhoon_Ex]

And the truth will set you free... Now go and make a proper port of Bayo 2 for the PS3.

 

[jett]

Nice to see they admit some responsibility. I personally played and loved the PS3 version despite its inferiority, that's just how good the source game was.

 

[Neff]

A great part of what has gone wrong this generation is being forced into pay for a simple service. I am pleased that Sony has yet to fold and I have some hope for the future.

For what it's worth, despite my 360 endorsement in this thread, I agree to an extent and have never paid for Gold. I do all my online gaming on PS3, and the huge majority of my playtime and library is dedicated to PS3.

But things do cost money, services and infrastructures, no matter how 'simple', don't create themselves. The big rich corporation isn't turning off a faucet to withhold rainwater from your lawn unless you pay them.

Hmm...

I had no trouble with the PS3 version as well (then again, I only played it post-patch), but playing it in the 360 does give it a different view.

Yeah post patch for me too. I watched some pre-patch videos once...those constant loading times would've made the experience insufferable and unplayable. It's unbelievable Sega released it like that. As it is right now the major difference is the lower framerate, but it's perfectly playable, I'd say the framerate really affects gameplay in only a couple of places.

 

[Anteater]

Eh after the patches i honestly didn't have any problems with it for the most part.Of course compared to the 360 it still runned poorly.

Compare to all the decent action games that came out in the past, it ran poorly

Aaaaand who's going to publish that?

 

[Coxy]

wasnt the ps3 version of bayonetta their best selling game too?

 

[scitek]

Indeed, it is never too late for a patch!

Patches aren't free.

 

[BadWolf]

I heard a lot of negativity in regards to the PS3 version prior to playing it and had hoped I hadn't so I wouldn't be thinking about it while playing the game but when I actually got to play it I completely forgot to pay attention to the issue all the way till the end of the game. That's how awesome the game itself was.

So yeah, glad they admit it but can't say I care.

[kuroshiki]

No shit. The reason why I still haven't bought bayonetta on PS3.

 

[LiK]

I agree Inaba

 

[duckroll]

Thumbs up to Inaba for taking responsibility for Sega's fuck up. Thumbs down to Sega for causing the fuck up to begin with.

Edit: ROFLMAO Pete Hines.

To me, the difference is that Bayonetta PS3 always had its problems. Skyrim PS3 did work fine, as long as it was in a short-attention-span playtesting environment where no one apparently played for 80 hours + in a single game. Still Bethesda's fault, obviously, for not testing the game the way they intended it to be played, but when you look at the way developers and testers discover, document, and fix bugs, it's pretty easy to see what happened with Skyrim and how those problems likely weren't even seen before release. Bayonetta, however...

Dude. Skyrim on PS3 is not fine. They can't even release the fucking DLC expansion on it. That's how "fine" it is.

Don't forget the MadWorld PAL fuck up either, Platinum.

But it's okay, I forgive you.

You could always import the NA ver s ... i .. o ... nevermind

There is still honor in Japan It was kind of him to admit it, albeit late.

 

[KimonoNoNo]

I've got a PS3 so I treated Bayonetta as a Xbox exclusive just like it was Halo or Forsa.

 

[Angel Whispers]

One sees that 'port-begging' for the sequel is still alive... Whatever. As You Were.

 

[rvy]

Good. It's crazy to me that there are people that claim the PS3 version was fine.

MadWorld PAL was locked to 50hz.

Homebrew did fix it...eventually.

So I never followed this game (despite buying my brother-in-law it for PS3), but I got a question.

The most shocking thing to me about what he said was that the game got positive reviews. Was this a scandal when the game came out, or do people no longer care about the honesty of reviews?

Feel bad buying giving it to my brother-in-law now though.

When even Famitsu dares to give 2 points lower to the version of a multiplatform game (38 vs 40) you know something is VERY wrong and the rest of reviews doesn't matter.

No, most journalists were actually quite fair for the most part when the game came out, most of them did their part and reviewed both games individually and most of the reviews gave the ps3 version a lower score.

Unlike Mass effect 3 and Skyrim, ME3 was fine but it was still one of those games that was given the same score across platforms, and about skyrim.....

 

[hiryu64]

If it comes to Wii U or PC then I might finally have a chance to play it.

Spoiler

I have a PS3 but not a 360, so as far as I'm concerned I don't have a platform that can play it.

 

[Nibel]

They should release HD versions of MadWorld

Reviews mentioned that the port was shoddy but it was still playable. No one in their right minds gave it a higher score than the 360 version tho. It was definitely a mess but at least the optional install patch made it less of a mess.

Skyrim completely falls apart when you put over forty hours into it and interact with the world enough. It starts to run with seconds per frame and becomes literally unplayable.
Bayonetta is at least a functional product.

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

I know, right? What's amazing about Bayo PS3 is that even with no basis for comparison, I know it's shit. I couldn't get into one of GAF's best GOTG because of their lazy decisions. I hope for a decent re-release one day so I can finally see what the fuss us all about.

On a brighter note, they made it up to me with Vanquish, one if the best action games of the gen.

 

[injurai]

If the PS4 used cell, I can imagine Sony withering away after next-gen. They really need to go x86 otherwise they just won't get the development backing that they need. Even if backwards compatibility is hurt, I'm sure producing cells is a lot cheaper for them now, maybe they could slap on some PS3 cells at a premium price or something.

 

[surly]

More sites should do separate reviews for each version. There's been tons of shit PS3 ports, but you often don't get to find out until after the game has been out for a short time.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Someone get Bethesda on the line.

I had no problem beating a few bosses in single digit framerate, it's fine, totally playable

Right, because the level scaling in that game is completely broken, too.

play the 360 version and prepare to be dazzled.

Man, I was considering asking mods to change my username to something different and this phrase is at the top of my list.

 

[Snuggles]

I've been debating picking up the PS3 version since Bayonetta belongs in my library and it's my only console at the moment, but having played the 360 version it's a tough pill to swallow. Everything I love about the game is still there, but I've seen the difference and it's significant.

You probably just don't notice things like framerate and resolution. It's not like the game was electrocuting people through the controllers or something.

 

[bbyybb]

I never played the game because of all of the bad press about how the PS3 version was inferior to the Xbox 360 version. I might play it if I see it in the bargin bin now though.

 

[Anteater]

If you've played games that ran at shit framerate like mass effect on 360, bayonetta is nothing.

 

[Celegus]

Have you played it in the 360?

Nope don't have a 360. There was a patch when I played it, did that do anything to fix it?

 

[rvy]

It says a lot about a developer when their biggest failure is handing over a porting job to their publisher, and most PS3 users not even realizing the lack of quality of that port.
