Platinum Games posts groovy new countdown clock

bayonetta61

What’s Bayonetta developer Platinum Games got planned for its next outing? We have no idea. But we’re willing to bet that this mesmerizing new countdown clock – which combines the best parts of a fireworks show and a disco ball – might have something to do with it.

It’ll tick it’s final tock sometime at the end of this week. Friday-ish, we’re thinking. Go stare at it for a while. Maybe you’ll discover the meaning of existence or something.

Report: Sony to fix Bayonetta issues on PS3

bayonetta61

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.

Sega of America picks new Bayonetta model

Sega’s shown off the new Bayonetta model through Maxim. See here.

We had no idea there was an old Bayonetta model, unless you count the woman in very tight rubber you see a lot on UKR.

But anyway, there she is. She’s called Andrea Bonaccorso.

“While some entrants perfectly mirrored the outfit of the character and others simply donned librarian glasses, Andrea married both elements to come out on top,” said someone at Maxim.

The game’s out in the west next year. You’ll get a demo next week.
