Report: Sony to fix Bayonetta issues on PS3
According to a report over on Gamekyo (per Wearetheinternetz), Sega and Platinum Games are “taking responsibility” for the PS3 version of Bayonetta, and a team at Sony hard at work fixing the game.
When comparisons to the Xbox 360 version were made, the PS3 version was found to sport murkier graphics, longer load times, and bad framerates; therefore the team hopes to “guarantee” a better version of the game outside of Japan.
SEGA responded to the load time bit last month, stating that it was “well aware of this issue” and were “working on a solution”.
Looks like Sony to the rescue, then.

I’ve been saying Sony should open some studios to “enhance” third parties’ games for months now.
Bayonetta with some Sony coding would be amazing.

THANK YOU SONY
I was worried for a moment.
Gekidami
I can imagine this being down to people complaining in Japan where the game sold quite abit on PS3.
As far i as know this is the first time Sony themselves have actually taken to fixing a 3rd parties problems.
Mike
Two ways of looking at this:
1. Well done Sony for stepping in
2. Why are so many games inferior on PS3? I could understand if it was one particular development house that had trouble but when it’s across the board and 3 years into the console’s lifecycle you really start having to ask some questions.
Gekidami
Except most games are pretty much identical on both systems now, its relly only when the dev pawns off the port work to someone else that you get bad results.
FeaturePreacher
It’ll be interesting to see what Sony can do in one month’s time. I’ll be sticking with the Famitsu perfect version so I don’t have to worry.
theevilaires
Mike so many 3rd parties games are inferior not all in general. You should see UC2,Killzone2,inFAMOUS,and Burnout Paradise.
Sony in general needs to dispatch small teams for all 3rd party title makers until they can grip the Cell much better.
Hunam
At least the UE3 has started coming along great with the PS3 now.
It’s Sony’s own fault really, designing the console in a way that was difficult to port from, and consequently, to. I suppose when you don’t listen to developers requests this’ll happen.
reask
Sony should not be allowing this to happen at this stage.
Surely this should have been sorted prior to the game been released anywhere.
I mean if they are sending a team in now what was stopping them doing it before release in Japan?
Aimless
Hmm, you have to wonder what they can do at this late stage. It isn’t a question of power, Bayonetta was clearly designed to make use of the 360′s architecture above all else; you could probably get Uncharted 2 running almost as well on the Xbox if it had been designed for it, but woe betide anyone who tried to port it over now.
If the game wasn’t due out for several months they could probably turn things around, but surely at this point the discs for the European and American release are already being pressed.
Psychotext
Last I checked they were just talking about fixing the load times. It’s a bit late in the game to be sorting out all of the other problems.
As Aimless said, the game is likely already in the hands of the disc manufacturers.
theevilaires
The PS3 was never intended to be the porting console of this gen. With the universal success of the PS2 everyone thought the PS3 would be treated the same.
Design has nothing to do with it. It was the launch cost and slow sales. If the PS3 had a 50 million lead over the x360 devs would shut their mouth and do their damn job.
Remember the PS2 was a bitch to design for. The only reason devs put up with it is because it had a 100 million lead over Xbox.
You people need to realize why things happen for a reason and stop being dumb ass sheep. I’m not speaking on fanboy BS. I mean in general. Use common sense to understand why things happen differently from the past to the future.
theevilaires
Aimless your point is moot because until this day no 360 exclusive can touch inFAMOUS,KZ2, and especially not UC2. Go play the GOW3 demo and see for yourself that the 360 regardless of a port or not can handle a true PS3 exclusive.
Mike
inFamous and KZ2 were good but not worthy of being lauded as benchmarks for system.
If you think 360 can’t – and indeed hasn’t – got a) better games (subjective I know) and b) better looking games than those two then…well…you’re wrong.
mescalineeyes
nope, the 360 doesn’t have a better looking game than Killzone 2.
now inFamous is rather weak, and GoW3 is quite the disappointment, as well.
inFamous graphically only, mind.
theevilaires
….and lets not include examples with our flawed statements. everyone lets play the MIKE Game
edit: love how the BOTS dare not mention UC2
Aimless
I don’t think you can brand my point moot when you clearly missed it, theevilaires.
Stephany Nunneley
Day one patch probably.
Gekidami
The best looking game on 360 right now is probably Gears 2 and yes; KZ2 looks better then it. Sorry Mike but you’re wrong.
Mike
I love it how anyone who doesn’t think everything TEA says is TEH TRUTH!!1111one is an XB0TzoRz!11lol.
Anyway, I didn’t mention UC2 because I haven’t played and therefore can’t comment.
Steph: yeah, bound to be.
Mike
Gears 2 is no way the best looking game on 360. And Killzone 2 does indeed look very nice – if you like the colour brown ;).
Anyway, opinions/arseholes etc.
Gekidami
Then enlighten us Morriss, what is the best looking game on 360?
theevilaires
No your point is moot…and an epic one at that. UC2 is an exclusive. Gears2 is an exclusive. UC2 is a 3rd year PS3 title, Gears2 is a X360 3yr title.
See my point. Now if you are saying Naughty Dog is better than Epic than your point is un-moot.
Mike
“Best looking” is just my opinion, Gek. If I enlightened you, I’d be presenting a fact.
You reckon Gears 2 is the best looking and Killzone 2 is also good looking – I don’t. I doubt me telling you what I think is good looking/ugly will change your mind, so there’s no real point in carrying the argument on.
theevilaires
Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out Mike. Only the 6 billion other people on the world agree, but we all have to wait until you play it and hear your verdict. Cause you’re that important in your small little country.
So 6 billion people who agree, lets just wait until Mike waits for the PS3 to become $30 so he can then finally justify buying a PS3 so he can give his opinion about UC2 being better that any other 360 exclusive.
Aimless
My point, theevilaries, was that the poor performance of Bayonetta on the PS3 wasn’t down to the hardware being intrinsically less powerful than the 360, the game was simply designed to make the best use of that console’s unique architecture. Similarly Uncharted 2 was designed around the PS3 so as to make the best use of its pros and work around its cons, so the act of porting it to another machine at this point in time would be a horrendous undertaking.
If anything I was actually defending the PS3 if you insist on everyone taking sides — and you strike me as the sort of person that would.
Hakkiz
@theevilaires (#13): But surely, had Sony designed the console differently, there wouldn’t be performance problems with Bayonetta. I think gaming systems in general are becoming more reliant on GPU, not CPU like PS3, so some devs probably can’t justify the cost of coding same games twice. PS3 sales are obviously a big factor here, but I still can’t understand why they made it difficult to utilize in the first place. It’s hardly a good thing for game players. Or 3rd party partners.
Michael O’Connor
“the game was simply designed to make the best use of that console’s unique architecture.”
Really? REALLY? How exactly was the game designed to “take advantage of the 360′s unique architecture”?
“If the game wasn’t due out for several months they could probably turn things around, but surely at this point the discs for the European and American release are already being pressed.”
Welcome to 2004, when patching console games wasn’t an option.
Psychotext
@Michael O’Connor: Read the Digital Foundry comparison article on the game. They give a good overview of what the game does that works particularly well on the 360 hardware.
Edit – Here: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-bayonetta-faceoff
As for the other bit… I don’t know of any console game that’s had a full engine overhaul after release. Possibly Burnout Paradise, but that was more about additions rather than tearing the underlying tech apart and putting it back together.
OlderGamer
A couple of things here.
I 100% agree with Mikes first post here. This is a huge problem for Sony. You can call it(the PS3) hard to handle, call it too much power, call it Cell-tonics for all I care. But the reality is plan and simple. Many dev houses(first and thrid party) have trouble getting PS3 games onpar let alone looking better then xb360 games. For every U2 and KZ2 there is a Uncharted one and Killzone one and countless other games that have failed to reach their mark. The big budget high end games for PS3 look nice, but there is a tremendous gap between the average PS3 game and that lofty standard. Its a problem, and Sony knows it – hence them jumping to the rescue here. Kudos to them btw, they should have been more helpful with 3rd party devs from the start.
Another eye poping point is this. Oh some of you guys will love me for this one. Gears is built on a multiplatform Unreal 3 engine. Uncharted 2 is built on a “Naughty Dog-in house-built from the ground up-to impress-using Cell Power for the PS3″. Again good for them, but in my mind apples and oranges.
In the end no one wants to hear excuses.
One last thought, (talking in general, xb360 vs PS3, not Bayonetta – which seems almost broken in the media) what does the look of one game on another system have anything to do with your enjoyment on the games you do play? It doesn’t. Unless your holding on to inner envy. Let it go
theevilaires
I’m not taking sides only stating facts. Just because I favor my PS3 as my main console of choice does not mean I dislike the 360 because of its limitations and capabilities.
In the case of Bayonetta it should be no shock to any of us that the game will have a few differences because of the way development was handled.
Anyway none of you fuckers are buying this day 1 so shut up everyone. The only reason this game got a spike of interest is because how different its running on 360 and PS3…and that fatmitsu review.
OlderGamer
@Hakkiz
Quality point. Sony fans all too often want to place the “blame” on someone other then Sony. It is what it is.
FeaturePreacher
@Hakkiz
It’s called arrogance. Sony thought that there was no competition that could touch their sales in this generation due to how the ps2 did. So they thought they could do whatever they wanted to and still come out on top. Perhaps with even IBM losing interest in the Cell processor, Sony could turn things around with the ps4.
Psychotext
“Anyway none of you fuckers are buying this day 1″
Incorrect.
theevilaires
Hakkiz only one person has that true answer and he has been ousted by SONY. I’m sure all of us have read the recent rumors of the cell being dropped for PS4. Only time will tell. I just hope Sony learned their lesson that the sky is the limit and to always have a parachute handy for the bad times.
Same with M$ and Nintendo.

Incidentally good on sega/plat for addressing this rather than hoping it’ll blow over
Gekidami
“Quality point. Sony fans all too often want to place the “blame” on someone other then Sony. It is what it is.”
Just like MS fans love to “blame” Sony and use examples like Bayonetta and The Orange Box yet ignore that most games are actually pretty much identical on both systems with the only the real difference being in colour?
Yeah, It is what it is. I’ll agree with that.
OlderGamer
Some people do like to get carried away. I guess I get caught up in it sometimes too.
As for the SNES no way they were as good, they didn’t have Blast Processing!
To be honest I always favored the TG16/Turbo Duo.
Mike
Digital Foundry disagrees, Gek, but don’t let that stop you, soldier.
Their articles prove time and time again that there really is no point in buying a 3rd party title on PS3 if you have both systems.
OlderGamer
IMO, most multiplatform games are so close I can’t tell any difference. And color is something that can be tweaked on your TV. It is also worth mentioning Gek, that I own and enjoy several PS3 games.
Thats my fav saying in life too, It is what it is. So many times it just fits.

360 is just a PC in a box, it’s easy to make games for. I have yet to understand why the PS3 fan boys hold that against the Xbox.
PS3 has more raw power, raw power which about 4 games have tapped. 360 has more accessible power than almost anyone can use.

You said:
“better controller

I hate the PS controler, and your right thats my opinion, yours can differ. I am sure I am not alone and I know your not alone. I hate the PS controller so much I have asked Mrs Clause to bring me a Dreamgear one(they are built like the xb360 ones) for Xmass.
And.
Free onlineplay. Sure if you like poorly hosted, low bandwidth, chopy gameplay. I have found that I must use a Wired connection. That helps a lot. But in the end PSN online gameplay can’t touch a candle to LIVE. I hate, read HATE paying for LIVE. But this is a case of you get what you pay for. Free is nice tho. I wouldn’t play online with PS3 at all if I had to pay for both LIVE and PSN.
And of course:
Trophies!!
I like achievments better. Why? Because when I see my friends online a number is clearly displayed next to there names in big bold letters. And I know right away if my 10K lead over them has been reduced. Trophies are nice but when the score is buried in a pile of menus…it kind of takes away some of the fun. Other that they are the same type of thing. But achievments did come out first.
And lastly:
RROD
Yea that one stinks. I really hated it when when my first launch system had RROD. I had to send it to Texas for MS to fix it. Of course it was free and only took two weeks. the system is fine now btw. Still it was a pain. Not as bad as when my launch PS3 died. Sony wanted over 250usd to fix that one. I waited and waited, then just went out and bought another one. But your right friend RROD was not fun.

Yes. Their articles do that don’t they. That’s why their article on 360 and PS3 Dragon Age Origins is particularly conspicuous by its absence.
But hey, constantly taking the same handful of games as evidence that *every* game is better on one machine and overlooking every example where that ‘fact’ doesn’t apply whilst making excuses about why you won’t play 10/10 rated games on a system you love to troll against. Well, aren’t you a fine example of a neutral observer!

Tea, my friend, just let it go. Give in to the dark side, the XB360 loves you. It will be ok, I promise. Your friends are all here.

Yes furby, it’s a conspiracy. DF leaves out the games that go against their pro-360 agenda!
You people are unbelievable.

Nobody said it was a conspiracy – so don’t try to act like they did.
It’s just very convenient for people with your rather obvious agenda to overlook any examples that don’t further your crusade.
Even now, you don’t acknowledge my example. Your response is to pretend someone’s mentioning a conspiracy theory and mock it rather than deal with the relevant example that was just presented to you.
You people (and your double standards) are unbelievable.

@ 1 depends on your preference really.
I actually prefer been able to zoom in with LT rather than pressing RS.
Also RB for frags and LB for smoke grenades make more sense to me.
Then again I am just talking shooters so maybe other games suit other controllers better.
@2
50 bucks a year will never break me.
I actually think it is good value with demos zune sky god xbox originals movie downloads etc.
@3

Nuff said copycats.
@4 3 year warranty unlike 12 months and then go f**k off.
I suppose my real reason for getting into this was your mention of infamous as a PS3 example.
Now I may have read this wrong so please correct me but I got the impression it was been used as a example of the cells capabilities.
So I put my PS3 on and played the demo again just to be sure I had not missed something last night having played it.
I have to say in all honesty this game looks like it could be quite good and I reckon I will get around to playing it.
But graphically wise I would put it up there with crackdown.
This game just looks OK and nothing else imo.
I reckon you need to get the green box out and the rose tinted glasses off and get playing the 360 with an open mind.
I am glad I spent 300 on the PS3 as I know I will be satisfied with my purchase having delved in to a few good demos.
I picked up drakes fortune today and intend to get stuck into it come the weekend.
I like to get used to a new system before going to the main course.
Yes I have no doubt I will be making comparisons but I went through PS1 and 2 and know Sony are one of the best.
Having said that the competition this gen with the 360 is keeping them on there toes and rightly so.
I look forward to great games on both consoles now and I reckon you should too.

Mike, if you’re going to (repeatedly) imply every game is better then you really need to ensure that’s the case.
Even a single game shows that your bold claims are just the result of your bias and eagerness to spread the usual pro-xbox fud.
So it doesn’t matter whether it’s one or one hundred games. What matters is that it clearly demonstrates your ‘facts’ are only facts in your own head.
FWIW I own all current systems. I don’t have a favourite. But it’s funny to see how quickly the wagons form a circle around here. I don’t care for these agenda-driven fanboys of any system. They stink up the fun for everyone else that simply want to enjoy good games.

zoopdeloop
How the whole fanboyism started?i reckon 360 fanboys were mocking ps3 owners for their choice…why?
probably because they couldn’t afford a ps3 and they got stuck with 360,they got along with it,they loved it and they are defending it to the core.
Many people were saying how overpriced the ps3 was.
Also many 360 fanboys mention that Live is superior to Psn(which is true)and they drop the line “you get what you pay for”…that’s true and for the “overpriced” ps3 that was also true.
ps3 and Sony have proven themselves in quality with some of their titles…let’s see 360 and M$ top these
The Hindle
Ive played Live and ive played Psn and i really cant see the difference to be honest. I mean so long as you can play who cares?
zoopdeloop
the PSN is decent but Live tops it in quality a little bit.
I don’t care…i have both systems and i really don’t give a f@ck about online,multiplayer e.t.c. I ‘m stuck to the old days with single player games.
Multiplayer is mostly about competition i’m not the competitive type.
I find more fun to have friends in my house and play a game together than a multiplayer session.

Reask I shouldn’t have used inFamous as a power prover of the PS3, but that game ROCKS! Buy it and you’ll see for yourself. The Demo is just a teaser and that game wasn’t meant to be a graphical power house but still has great visuals and graphics that only a handful of 360 titles can pass.
For all you xbots who say its average are just bitter cause you can’t play it. That’s why you spent countless hours comparing it with Prototype. Get some games and stop trying to claim third party titles as Xbox exclusives you desperate fuckers.
Also to Reask again: You play me in a FPS with the 360 pad and I’ll smoke you just because of the triggers. Remember R1 is PS3′s primary shooting button. A button press is faster than a trigger pull. Its like a mouse on PC verses an analog stick. PS3 best controller with no hidden fees lol (AA batteries or charge kit LMAO)So for all you XBOTS shut up again.
Devil May Cry feels better to play with a DS3, Bayonetta is a DMC clone so history will repeat itself. The RB and LB buttons on a 360 pad are a joke, so is that D-Pad, and the sticks feel weird. That big X button in the middle….really?….that’s cool?
Live $50 ain’t about the “money” Reask its about the “moral” There are ads plastered all around that damn dashboard. There is no reason for them to make us gamers pay on “FUCKING P2P SERVERS” You believe that hype? I guess you buy store warranties on all your electronic products too even though it already comes with the manufacturer 1 year warranty…..which leads me to…
That poor excuse of a 3 year M$ warranty. I thought I told you to never bring that up again. You,Me,the virgin Mary,fucking aliens in another galaxy all know why they did that shit. Come on man wake up! You bring stupid arguments to the table to justify an evil corporation ripping you off. That’s just plain stupid bro.
A 3year warranty cause they tried to fuck Sony and beat them to market while having the worst failure rated piece of consumer electronic. and you think a 3 year warranty is suppose to be a right of forgiveness on their greedy part. I DON’T THINK SO!
Forgiveness does not set the bad guy free, it sets the victim free from the bad guy’s bad deeds.

Looking at your game stats I reckon you would kick my ass in most games but Hey I am up for the challenge.
As for the controller point.
Dont get me wrong I have no issues with the PS controller as I have been using it since PS1 days.
I reckon if youre a gamer neither controller should be a problem I mean lets face it most of the time when you start a new game youre comparing it to the last game first couple of missions.
I just think both consoles are good gaming machines one has whistles and the other has bells.

Agreed, totally. No-one I knew thought the 360 would be leading (or so close to neck & neck) to PS3, we all thought it’d do well and then the PS3 would come out and sell much better because of the brand if nothing else, even without added niceness like Blu-Ray.
But it didn’t, and I think there’s a certain class of fanboys who have that sense of entitlement to Sony leading the games consoles who take it all very personally.
Just my observation; I’ve seen the kinds of behaviours several times when former format winners lose that crown, leaving parts of their fanbase desperately searching for someone to blame it on. Usually anyone but their champions.
