Bayonetta has been awarded full marks (40/40) by top gaming rag Famitsu, but only for the Xbox 360 original. Even Famitsu feels obliged to point out the bungled nature of Sega’s PS3 port, giving it a piffling 38/40.
The reviewers point out how “unfortunate” it is that the PS3 version enjoys noticeably less gorgeous visuals than the Xbox 360 version.
Good as it may be, many are doubting whether an exagerrated 100% score is really appropriate.
Pointedly, whilst overseas games media heaped praise upon recently released PS3 flagship title Uncharted 2 as being a paragon of gaming virtue, Famitsu only saw fit to award it 37 points, less than the defective port of Bayonetta, for a title many acclaim as a gaming milestone.
The significant difference of course being that Uncharted 2’s Japanese release was very low key as the title is not expected to sell well in the Japanese market, whereas Platinum has expended a considerable amount on advertising Bayonetta with Famitsu (below you can see the top of their enormous preview article on Famitsu.com) and others…
The superior Xbox 360 version of Bayonetta is available now, as is the loser PS3 version.

ps3 ftw .................. ne way dont most reviews get payed off?
It's any. 3 fucking letters. Quit being a lazy shit.
i like to think of it as saving time
What the fuck are you saving time from? getting smarter?
I agree with anon stop being fucking lazy.
I think 'ne' and 'any' are similar speeds to type, just because it's less letters, it doesn't necessitate time saved.
+1
whats the point using full words this is he internet not school. (also its funny watching noob's rage over me saving under a second its win-win)
We type faster than them even with their stupid abbreviation techniques.
"bcos" of "ur" saved time. "u" wasted time from us!
It's the same amount of key strokes since you felt the need to include a 'space' after 'ne'.
I see what you did there.
One letter a a lot of text! You save one letter here then maybe you go somewhere else, you save another letter. Then you have one word. Then you take your word, you go to the Twitter website, you write something else!
black lines filter plz
Awesome reference, anon 19:59...can't remember which comedian it was though, sadly...
lnk cr b82rez 2g4
Oh dayum, I see that Russel Peters reference right tharr.
That's why keyboards have ALL THE LETTERS on them.
Yeah seriously, you're complaining about how other people write? What's even more egregious is this anon's superiority complex. =\
FINISH HIM!
Friendship!!!!!
Then why did you turn 'paid' into a five letter word?
touche
If you use "ne" "u" "ur" and other abbreviations, you'll automatically be seen as a troll or an idiot on the internet.
It's as simple as that.
Only newfags type so slow they need to use abbreviations. I type near fifty words a minute. So changing a three letter word to a two letter word is not at all necessary.
fucken grammar police STFU!!!!!
agree +1
this isn't grammar, genius. it's spelling, if anything. one could even argue its an atrocity against the english language, but let's not get ruffled over details.
I fucking lol'd.
It's laughing out loud. 15 fucking letters. Quit being a lazy shit.
Epic win
In that context it would've been laughed out loud. So yeah... this grammar/spelling policing is just ridiculous.
Acronym is one thing (ie: lol = laugh out loud), but to reword a word (ie: any = n e) is just stupid.
All reviewers get paid off nowadays.
But seriously, 100%, to play a game whose sole selling point is the female protagonist, whom isn't attractive at all.
I thought she's kind of attractive.
Anyway, 100% is a bit ridiculous.
SHE'S STILL SARAH PALIN.
whats wrong with Sarah Palin? she's hot lol
She really doesn't look all that much like Sarah Palin. Just the "up-do" a bit, being white, and the glasses. By that basis there are any number of "glasses girls" that would fit the bill, it just so happens that Sarah Palin is high profile.
Don't mind the anon with the hidden conservative itch between the legs.
That's been a problem ever since she came to the national stage back in '08. It's still rankles the libertards' ego when this very successful lady with a sterling political record and pretty looks actually did what a good politician should always do. Weeding out the crime and corruption within the diseased halls of government as well as having a wonderful family with many kids.
Don't forget that she was one hot young lady back in the day who knows how to hunt!
I just thought the character looked like a skanky whore going for the "librarian" cosplay fetish.
But no, she has a combo where she shoots guns with her feet. I'm sure there are people out there who think that's awesome, but eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhh.......
Meganekko is my thing but the english voice over just kills it for me.
oh comes on,gunslinger witch with funky hairstyle wearing glasses getting naked to summon dragon!!= awesome!
......ok i lied.
but unless they got paid that must have been their reaction.
And yes the english voice seriously suck for once...
Well, in it's originally voiced english track I don't see anything wrong. Very least Bayonetta's voice suits her character.
Yeah, it's not a "voiceover", but the original track. Play it on mute if it's such a turnoff.
dem glasses
mm... im not much of a console person but dont ps3 games usually have better quality than the 360? ie sigma vs ngII... i suppose a drop in quality for one game cant damage the ps3 that much right?
Its Sega's bad port, it doesn't have anything to do with the PS3's capabilities -__-
Exactly.
There's a 2 year difference in development between Sigma 2 and NG 2, though. In general most cross-console games have a slight graphical advantage on 360.
Agreed. While the PS3 has a much more advanced CPU, the 360 has more memory. So for many multi-system games released at the same time, the textures tend to look better. That being said, given enough time, even better visuals can be achieved on the ps3 (IE Sigma2). For the ps3 fanboys, just wait. They'll patch it like they did Ghostbusters.
In what, if any, way does the 360 have more memory than ps3? The hard drives of both system is at 250GB, and Blue Ray discs hold much more memory than that of HD-DVD = the ability to use higher resolution of textures.
anon fail
its all due to Sega poor port that ps3 version looks bad
Nice work on being a retard there anon. He means random access memory, you know, the kind that is actually used when you play the game. While you could put higher res textures on a bluray, you'd be long dead before the damn thing has managed to load them given the shitty performance of bluray for anything but sequential reads.
When people talk about 'memory' in relations to electronics, most of the time they are referring to the Random Access Memory(a.k.a RAM), and not the storage memory...
lol anon fanboy fail
When last I checked, both had the same amount of total ram. Just one console has it in two pools and the other has it in one pool.
True, the systems both have 512MB RAM. The PS3 splits it down the middle with 256MB for the system and 256MB for the video. The 360 has one large 512MB pool of memory that it pulls from and 10MB of dedicated eDRAM.
The way it appears to me is the 360 uses shared memory like what you find on a laptop. Since the PS3 has dedicated video memory, it has to work within that limit. If anyone knows whether or not the PS3 can tap into the system memory for extra VRAM, please correct me.
Frankly, as a PC gamer, I don't care which version is better but I believe the culprit is a combination of both hardware differences and rushed porting. As I said before, just wait for a patch.
Despite the PS3's memory being split it also has to deal with it's bloated OS which can pull available resources away from running applications when needed. Currently it uses 52 megs of RAM which to Sony's credit has been reduced since launch but only by 4 megs. By comparison the Xbox uses 32 megs of RAM for it's OS.
most 360 games are usually superior graphically compared to their PS3 counterpart. That doesn't mean the platform itself is lacking horsepower. PS3 is just harder to program. And it doesn't help that most multiplatform games lead on 360 (as in making the 360 version first then port it to PS3.. which doesn't allow the game to leverage the exotic nature of PS3 hardware). There are some good multiplatform engine (like epic UT engine or Capcom MT engine and potentially the new Cryengine) but I believe Platinum Games use their own engine which is made for 360 only without any consideration for PS3.
A bad port is a bad port. PS3 versions of multi-platform games have shown that they can be just as good or better. Whenever we see a big difference on either side the blame falls on the developer that handled the port.
@Anon 21-10-2009 14:49
"In multiplat games, the textures tend to look better on the 360"
Umm, no. It's because the game was developed for the 360 and then "copypasted" to the PS3. The 360 is easier to develop for, so many developers choose it.
The game looks best on the system it was originally developed on. That's it. Not because the 360 has "more memory". Games developed on the PS3 look better on it than the 360. That's all there really is to it.
QFT. also, hot anime bayonetta is hot.
Actually it is because the 360 has more available memory. If you "copypasted" the game to the PS3 when it does have less available memory due to it's memory being split and it's OS using more memory than the 360 then something has to give. In order to run something that's made to run with more available RAM something has to be reduced to fit within the smaller available amount.
No, whenever we see a big difference, blame falls on whoever makes the console that isn't "ours". If that version is worse, it's because that console sucks. If that version is better, it's because that console maker bribed the game developer to make it worse on "your" console. Or something. This fanboy tard logic is hard to follow sometimes.
Then in all modesty shall i explain what is to follow,for you,who is yet pure of all this fanboï corruption....:
Ps3 fanboys:this game suck!!
(said because,even if the game rocks,it does looks better on the "enemies" territory.)
Xbox360 fanboys:this game rocks!
(because it is graphically better than the ps3 version,it will be definitely the BEST no matter how sucky the game can be.)
For more example see how the "best tales of" named vesperia has fallen to be the "worst to date" when xbox fanboys realized there would be no "patch" or dlc including the extra content.
or how final fantasy stopped looking so shiny when it's xbox360 port was announced.
(and at the same time stopped being "overrated" on the xbox fanboï side)

well said. i enjoy your insight, good sir, or good ma'am.
no they dont have better quality than 90% of the 360 ports.
Technically no. Sigma is due to its coming out much later, and Sony often demanding that later "no-longer-exclusive" ports have some extras to make the time lost worthwhile.
Games that initially come out as multiplatform more often than not show favor to whichever system the series was primarily developed on, which generally works out to be the 360 since it's still easier and much more familiar to work with.
