Sony Rescues Bayonetta from Sega

8 min for a 140MB patch?

Get better Internet.

Um, no, the PSN is to blame for that.

Lies. It only took about a minute for me and I live in Australia for fuck's sake!

Don't blame the PSN for your shitty internet.

Yeah, 8 min for a 140MB patch is not a psn problem. 8 min for 1300MB maybe.

Wow, you sure don't know a fuck about servers and bandwith management. You really think that everyone connects to the non-overloaded dedicated server you were downloading from ?

What are you people whining about "140mb in 8min".
It takes an hour to do that for me (max 45kb/s)

takes me 1 hour 30 mins . . . for a 140mb . . .

Well, Considering the household that I live in(which consists of 3 ps3s, 2 wiis, 1 xbox360, 5 computers, 1 wi-fi printer, and a few other random devices. Did I mention that all these things are always running all the time?) 8 minutes is actually pretty good.

It cant be helped...

You mean like the Wii which doesn't even let you plug in DVDs without hacking it?

It doesn't matter how obsolete a console is. If we have to be honest, DC made the PS2/RRODBox obsolete before they were even released.
Sales and profits is the one and only thing that matters.

The x360 is not going anywhere. Current-gen consoles have so pathetically little RAM that it's virtually impossible to fill up a DVD with enough content in a typical development cycle.
Even for PC games which use several times larger meshes and textures, there haven't that much multi-DVD releases.

I'm not even going to bother describing to what lengths M$ execs would go to maintain their lead position. If they can sell a console that randomly stops working then a simple technical detail isn't going to be of much difference.

BR adoption has been slow as hell, and it doesn't seem to be picking up the pace any time soon.
People are happy with the DVD format.

Finally, regardless of what you may want to convince yourself, there is absolutely no way to know what's going to happen in 2 years. Put down the crystal ball.

Many Game Developers had said that the Sega Saturn wasn't the best develope games because of the Software conflicts they had programming games so Sega gone foward and release Sega Dreamcast. Game Developers reaction to the new system It was easy to make games on that system with no problems the reason why Sega Dreamcast fail was because It wasn't selling well enough that Sega gave up the on US Market yet they continued in the Japan untill 2005 I believe.

The Dreamcast didn't use 700 MB CD-ROMs for its games, it used the propietary GD-ROM (Giga Byte Disc). The reason why they couldn't use DVD-ROM was because they couldn't possibly pay the royalties of the propietary format to its owners, among them Sony itself.

Also, basically what Myballz said, although SEGA was drowning in a pool of debt and had to discontinue the Dreamcast on all corners of the Earth, including Japan, in 2001, but third party development for the Naomi arcade board was so widespread, that it immediately translated to more licensed releases until even 2008.

by play i think he means the system..

i must admit. they comment was pretty lame. im a ps3/sony fan but even i know that they're all about the money too. i mean who the f*** are you to them?

im a fan of sony because they're smart and they always try to be the first to release some serious hardware. nuff said

Please stop soliciting the xbox 360 on these forums. Thanks.

Why? It's way superior to PS3 anyway. Even after the patching Bayonetta is still better on 360.

dude. if bayonetta fails on the ps3, that wouldnt hurt sony one bit. so who you're trying to fool? sega would have been at fault for wasting so much money on bluray disc.

i truly think that sony did this because they didnt want to lose sega as a publisher. seeing how idaki easily got up and went to xbox, i think sony is simply trying to avoid a history repeat.

if you were sega and your game didnt sell for a certain system, would you make games for that system again? i think not.

with sony doing this, two valuable things happen. sega scores sales on the system and second, they get to see a fraction of wat the ps3 can really do. now do you or do you not agree. its all business and money.

It wouldn't hurt Sony one bit? Let's see.

Failing to release such a patch would HURT them, pretty bad too. If they hadn't released that patch, CONSUMERS would look at this and avoid the PS3 purchase. Taking away games like this would hurt the console too, telling people interested in the PS3 that the 360 version of this is far better...and that's all it takes, shitty or faulty games for a console can hurt because customers will see continuous games being the 'lesser' version in comparison.

Impressions like this only take one or two to lose future purchases...even a purchase to a console, and Sony has their fair share of shitty games. They might not have suffered on paper and statistics, but they're smarter then that, and that's why they released that patch.

Now do you or do you not agree?

Yeah, this isn't the kind of info Arte would run and make a new post of, but PS3 Bayonetta is being annihilated in the US by the superior 360 version (last time I checked they were something like 90,000 units versus 160,000 respectively, and even in other regions the 360 is 80,000 against the PS3's 70,000).

thats just one game. a game that does not appeal to everyone. mutiplatforms are sidenotes. exclusives are the key to console decisions. when your game becomes games game of the year in many different sections, people are eventually going to want to play the game. how theyre going to uncharted 2, killzone, god of war? by buying the system. sony always loses the multiplatform war. thats old news

If those games are holding your arguments to purchasing a PS3, Sony has a lot of work to do...in which GoW hasn't even released yet, already your giving it praise..probably another FFXIII game and we all know how that game went.
