Not because the game is bad or something but the PS3 version is still the worst one to play. I mean we are like into the third year of PS3 and Sega still makes this huge blunder? I mean if they can do games like Valkyria Chronicles then why on earth they would do something like this..and i was almost about to preorder the game. (or maybe i am making this a big deal)...

Just because it's the worst version doesn't mean it's bad. It still got a good score

From what I understand, the game isn't so bad to the point that you can't play it. The visuals aren't as good as the other version's, but everything else really isn't that bad.

Sega has done better before but always lagged a little behind on PS3. I knew the problems exist from the demo. It's still a good game. Hope they get better on PS3. I wasn't going to get this game even if it was a better version.

Here's the PS3 review link.

True..but considering the fact that majority of the multiplatform games play and look pretty much the same is becoming a norm in the industry and here comes Sega, shattering the whole point and these incidents only spark more fanboy wars...

P.S. Nice Helghast Picture you got there..

I can understand about those fanboys. I remember one time a 360 fanboy at work told me: "the PS3 sucks, it can't play DVD's since it has a blue ray reader" I laughed. But I also heard the game is still playable at least, hopefully better then Fallout 3 on ps3

Sure the combos look awesome but I felt like I have to be an otaku to get used to all those controls. And I guess I go the same way as you and stick to Dante's Inferno and GoW 3 :P

Dont just blame Sega,Platinum Games gave Sega the job to port it, instead of building both versions simultaneously. Also, it cant be worst then EA's port of the Orange Box

No, blame Sega. Platinum Games build it from the ground up on the 360 and wanted it to be exclusive but since Sega wanted some extra money they did a crappy rushed port of it. I am still surprised considering how good Yakuza Kenzan!, Yakuza 3 & Valkyria Chronicles are on the PS3. I guess that's what happens when it's built up for the 360 and someone wants to make a quick buck (It worked too as Bayonetta sold why better on the PS3 in Japan, bad port and all) .

The game shouldn't so bad that you can't play it, its just not as polished as the 360 version. I played the demo and it wasn't bad at all. I'd have absolutely no problem buying the game for PS3 if that was all I had.

Sega didn't come up with it; they only published it and slapped their name onto it. The real geniuses are Hideki Kamiya and his team at Platinum Games.

from what I understand, the developers were having trouble porting it to the PS3 so they handed it over to Sega (the publisher) to fix.

Like most are saying, it's not a big deal.I blame Sega for the bad port, though, not Platinum.

This x infinity.

Sega's role in this affair is a double edged sword, though. If not for them, Bayonetta would be a 360 exclusive, but again, if not for them, the port wouldn't have been so bad in comparison.

Well, in that case it's better than anything Sega could come up with.

Haha that's funny. That sounds like one of the ignorant customers that go into their local rental store and gawk. Anyways I just heard that it a lot of load times, and it freezes often. Check out the link posted earlier.

They better patch it up by the time it arrives in the PAL territories. The Developer had problems porting it to the PS3? that's just total BS. they were probably just lazy or something. i've never heard of any other developer having this problem.

That was rumor. Sony itself never gave any confirmation on this. I understand why Sega did bad on porting since all their ps3 games developed by their developer from start to finish unlike Bayonetta, they need to study and learn all the code and whatnot from Platinum's documentation before porting, not to mention each developer has their own development habit It could have been better if Sega and Platinum planned to make it multiplat from beginning.

I'll keep my judgement of PS3 version when I actually pick up the copy and play it.

I absolutely loved Japanese Demo and saw nothing wrong with it. Of course it's a demo, however reading IGN's review raised quite a few susceptible questions on my part. For one I hardly believe the game frame rates become almost unplayable or even some other comments which don't make to much sense to me at all.

Whichever the truth I'm going to judge the game on my own. I have a good feeling the port issue's are being blown out of proportion for specific reasons.

Isn't Sega just the publisher for Valkyria Chronicles? I thought the PS3 version of Bayonetta was done by Sega not the developer. So that would mean that they have not developed any great games, only published them and made a worse version of a game that a developer only wanted to be on the 360 (Bayonetta)

Dont just blame Sega,Platinum Games gave Sega the job to port it, instead of building both versions simultaneously.

.....So we should just blame Sega then. Since the developer had no intention of even making a PS3 version, Sega wanted more money so they made a bad port. How is that Platinum Game's fault in any way?

But they made the PS3 version of Bayonetta. The developer only wanted to make a 360 version. The PS3 version being a bad port is entirely Sega's fault.

Why do you take the time to post in a thread that has been responded to by dozens of people, just to ask a question that has already been answered before you ask it? Obviously, anyone who takes the time to click on the thread and respond care, and oddly enough, that includes you. Anyway, I've played the demo for myself, it's a functional port, and I'm well aware of the differences between the two versions. I own a PS3, I want this game, and I am not buying a whole other system for just one game. Therefore, I'm getting this version of this game, simple as that.

I think that VC is developed and published by Sega but its by Sega of Japan i think. And besides if Sega wanted the game to be on PS3 then they should have ported the game right...we deserve a better product for our money...and publishers should respect the hard work of devs.
