Sega: “We Won’t Fix Bayonetta on the PS3”

bayonetta-by-kanesada-keishi.jpg

The PS3 port of “multiplatform” witch fest Bayonetta has been decried as a travesty with long load times, inferior graphics and a host of other deficiencies, but the hopes of those awaiting a patch have been dashed with a flat denial from Sega.

Sony’s eventual response to fan complaints about the state of the game on the PS3:

“Sorry but we can’t change anything at the loading time of this game.

I think isn’t possible that a patch can change this.”

Can’t, or won’t?

Platinum Games is doubtless reassessing the wisdom of outsourcing the PS3 port to Sega, a decision which soured the hyperbolic esteem in which the game is held with a note of acrimony.

Perfect Bayonetta is available on the Xbox 360 now.

    What?......thats not fair. They should just stop giving Sega games to port and find some other publisher to do a competent port. Also
    "...I think isn’t possible that a patch can change this.”
    think and possible are 2 very ambiguous word choices. I bet its cuz they dont want to spend money just to fix it those a**holes.

    They should just stop giving games to Sega entirely. Sega is a terrible company that can't do anything right.

    Thats what them bitch ass Sonys get. That'll knock them off of that "Were the superior console" high for a little while. This site totally supports the PS3. Thats all I hear on this site PS3 this and PS3 that. I mean damn, give the xbox some light too.

    Of Course this site is for The PS3 tham the 360 because it's about japanese stuff and last time I checked The 360 doesn't sell well in The Land of the Rising Sun.

    Its more like this, from Sony:

    " Why should we spend money to undo others mistakes/shitty port code? Specially when we got a perfect EXCLUSIVE game to counter this? Fuck this shit!"

    I agree with u sir. Sega is made of fail. They do everything wrong, dont care about their fans, much less about themselves. The few times they did something nice, they managed to fuck it in the end. They probably spent all the money for the ps3 port to bribe famitsu for the perfect score. A simple install option for the game could very well solve the loading problems.

    What are you talking about? Who's being a fanboy now? PS3 = Sony and Sony's made a ton more useful products than Microsoft. After all, Sony beat Microsoft in the BluRay/High Def War.

    Either way, the PS3 version isn't terrible, the gameplay is still the same and so what if the graphics are a little less defined than the 360's. It's still a great game.

    The Blu-ray/HD-DVD war wasn't Microsoft's battle to lose. It was Toshiba and the DVD consortium against Sony.

    I will only care for Sega again when they give me a REAL Shining Force. As in ...a Shining Force IV. Ok, another Panzer Dragoon Saga might be cool too...or an offline Phantasy Star. And what happened to those stylish IPs from the Dreamcast age?
    And yes, these are pretty utopic thoughts.

    This whole thing didn't surprise me. It's no secret that game companies like to cut corners with ports. That's why I'm highly skeptical about MGS5 with it's "new" system.

    I just got a PS3 a few days ago and Bayonetta was one of my first games on the console. I was so hyped up for this game and I'm really enjoying it. However, after seeing the 360 comparisons, I'm starting to feel really down.

    This is just horrible business ethics. The port into PS3 was horribly done and SEGA KNOWS this. A few weeks ago, they said they realize the problem. How about addressing it?

    Pardon my French, but they're motherfuckers.

    Yes, it has been demonstrated time and time again that Sega sucks at porting games, I think that the only reason they let Sega port games is because they do it on the cheap (at least I hope so).

    How can you endure the loading time ?

    I've played it on my friend PS3 and its loading time made me changed my mind to buy the bayonnetor. There are still lots of good games to come up next

    It's not that long, plus i've played games with longer load times so i'm patient on this matter. Regardless thought it's still a great game.

    Agreed. The loading time is barely even noticeable(15 sec. at the most) on my PS3. Besides, I just use that time to learn/perfect some more combos.

    My thoughts exactly. I can't really believe all the hatred in this site against Sega on this one. Ok, could it be done better? Yes, of course but i enjoyed it the way it is now. Please calm down, stop the hatred.

    God forbid console fanboys have to go back the the Jurassic era where we had load times and cord-ed controllers and other primitive things.

    Microsoft pays of game companies to make the PS3 version of multiplatform game suck. Modern warfare 2 is a good example of this. the multiplayer on the PS3 is laggy as hell. Even with a 4 bar connection.

    Sony demand that third parties either launch multiformat games simultaneously or add exclusive content to the PS3 version if it ships late. I don't know why, but it's been this way from the start.

    Platinum Games appear to have a policy against releasing games unfinished for the sake of adding content later. Bayonetta had to come out at the same time on PS3 (which required Sega's help to prevent an even poorer rushed port), or otherwise there would have been a massively unfair delay to the 360 version, or no PS3 game at all due to Sony's own selfish policy.

    you only say that because you're on of those people who gets dizzy easily after playing 10 minutes of first person shooters on HDtv or standard tv. You can't handle it.

    Therefore you do not like MW2.

    At least when you luck out and are the game host it's easy to go 30 and 2.

    It's like you become some kind of bullet dodging, quick draw maniac when you are host of a COD game.

    So much so I often stay in the same FFA room for hours just because I know eventually I'll be the host and my K/D ratio just goes up up up as long as I stay put.
