Bayonneta 360-PS3 Comparison

The folks over at Gamefront took the liberty of making a Screen shot Comparison of the Ps3 and 360 demos.

All screens are Direct Feed.

*Note*

Platinum Games worked only the 360 version, while the Ps3 version was handled by another Sega studio.

[PS3 slim]

The reports from TGS were not wrong when saying PS3 textures were muddy. These pics show much more than muddy PS3 textures the draw distance is all wrong and the foggy washed out everything is sad. I'm not sure why the PS3 version looks 2 builds behind the 360 version I can't really put my finger on it it. I have not seen this amount of difference in years. This game is graphically great though so I guess this was expected from PS3.

Tab those up and switch back and forth.

[MGSR THE HD VERSION]

yeah, i found the 360 demo, it's here, if anyone has a DVD burner.
http://www.megaupload.com/?...

the steps goes a follows. ( after downloading it )

1.you got to uncompress it.

2.burn the whole content on to a disc.

3.once it's burned access the demo though "Game library"

4.play time, enjoy :)

[Sunny_D]

You sure about that?
http://www.lensoftruth.com/...

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

No wait the Game does NOT look graphically great since it look just like Devil May Cry...in fact it is practically the same game just with a woman instead of Dante.

And yes this issue of blurring is seen on almost all the Multi platform games. The PS3 has more subtle shadowing so the contrast is not as deep.

The Tekken 6 comparison should help explain the reason why developers opt to use blurring in the PS3. I'll try finding the link to the Article

[TheBlackSmoke]

... I just played the demo on PS3 thought it looked great and had fun with it (even though its blatantly DMC with a chick) but because a bunch of insecure no lifers on a forum tell me my version is inferior all of a sudden what i just played and enjoyed does not count... yeah nice logic.

Why even question what the PS3 is capable of when Uncharted 2 exists.

[radzy]

LOL AT SONY .

[DonCorneo]

kratos will rape this witch.

the god of war collection will look better than this POS.

and god of war 3 will murder this wanna-be.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

*Note*

Platinum Games worked only the 360 version, while the Ps3 version was handled by another Sega studio

It is SELF evident why the PS3 version is so different! Studio was different and most likely the Team behind it was also different!

And for your pathetic lie regarding games always being better on the 360

http://www.lensoftruth.com/...

[NewZealander]

ultimate revenge are you trying to be funny :) terminator salvation? you didnt just try to make a point using that one game did you?

[Sunny_D]

It's actually pretty close, but yeah the 360 version does have better textures. Sega's problem, not Ps3. Otherwise, look at examples.

http://www.psu.com/media/ki...

@Gago: I know, but I'm just trying to prove that Ps3 can have amazing textures, it's the developers that need to develop it though.

[PS3 slim]

Pretty close? wuah hahahahahaha.

Why did you post those pics of that ugly ass game? Here is what games look like not held back by PS3 with 360 hardware in mind made by good devs http://www.gamersdigest.net...

Thanks man I needed that.

[Gago]

KZ2 runs at 30 fps

Bayonetta runs at 60 fps

plus one is a shooter and the other a action game

[Sunny_D]

Are you sure you're not delusional? Because you do know BF: BC2 is on Ps3 right?
wuah hahahahahaha. Thanks man I needed that.

[PS3 slim]

http://www.examiner.com/exa...

As if you need those KZ2 pics to confirm this list, we have the sales to prove that. After the hype settles, after the hype settles.

EDIT

Dry those eyes guys.

[CernaML]

"Here is what games look like not held back by PS3 with 360 hardware in mind made by good devs"

You posted a video of a MULTIPLATFORM game that is coming to the PS3... Wow. And I thought you'd actually be worth it enough to be taken seriously.

[Sunny_D]

Wait, wait, wait. First you decide to show a multiplatform game that's not held back by the ps3, even though it's coming to the ps3. DUURRRR. Then you start talking about sales in an article about graphics. God, can bots be even more stupider. Looks at PP. -_-

[ReviewsArePolitics]

Out of original nicknames, moron? So your "I did not murder him" account got banned and your "Why Dis" account doesn't have enough bubbles so you have to make another with the hardware you hate the most.

Speaks volumes of how much you care about this, retard.

[Homicide]

Looks like I'm getting it for the 360 then - better textures, lighting, framerate, etc.

[Darkstorn]

The 360 version does look like it has better lighting, and the PS3 version looks a bit washed out, BUT there appear to be far fewer jaggies on the PS3. Take your pick.

[presto717]

I would never try to feed my ps3 crap like this.

Jeez...

And I was actually looking forward to this. I had it as my wallpaper and everything. This is very disappointing. I just hope they fix it up by the release date or else...

EDIT: Sorry for my rant. I just watched the japanese demo gameplay on youtube and IT DOES NOT LOOK THAT BAD. I think I might be getting this afterall.

[shawnsl65]

one's a blurry mess and one's a jaggy mess. Why can't these devs just put some extra time and smooth things out with crisp image and no jaggies.

[lowcarb]

This is interesting and just goes to show that MS needs to really invest time into all new engine's specifically designed for 360. Bayonetta is going to be awesome and even though there not much a difference here it's quite apparent 360 is a force reckoned with.

[iChaos Amongus]

Its what sucks about PS3. It finally has a handful or really good exclusives but the other 300 games in its library are better on 360. Xbox 360 is the main console this generation and is still treated as so, 4 years into this generation. The guy who created Devil May Cry is giving his main studio's attention to 360 while PS3 gets some second-hand developer...its just a shame, PS3 deserves better. Its why I only play PS3's exclusives and everything else on 360.

I have yet to even see Modern Warfare 2 run on PS3 yet! Its only been shown on 360.

[iamtehpwn]

I wouldn't consider them gimp, technically. It's not as bad ghost busters. I own both, and I'm still going to get the PS3 version. Sue me for it. I can't get into action games on Xbox360, Playstation 2 is where I played my action games before, the controller only feels natural with dualshock form.

But that's just me.
Either version you get, if you love or hate the game, you should still, at the end, love or hate it no different no matter which system.

[commodore64]

@ ichaos

Spot on, dude.

[Whut]

wow the PS3 pics look pale and washed out.

I'll have to go with the Xbox version on this one.

[SCThor]

Definitively doesn't look that bad on PS3 compared to the original comparison screenshots.

I'm right now downloading the demo from PSN-JP to make my own judgement.

[thorstein]

If you want comparison screenshots, then let us see them as they are meant to be seen. I want to see Bayonetta in the native 720! Not off an SD screen. It failz.

[Rmagnus]

lol screen shots are the least of Bayonneta's problem on the PS3. Try out the demo, if you thought the screen shots are bad wait till you play the demo. I played the game is 720p & 1080p out put from my ps3 and in still horrible

[lowcarb]

The people on this site crying foul play need to zip it already. Since PS3 is more powerful multiplats should look much better just like it would on a more powerful PC. I applaud PS3 developers for really pushing what it can do but think its time for 360 dev's to do the same. PS2 was the lead console last gen but looked inferior to xbox (I wonder why). All the whines and claims made here lately are ridiculous. Even Jeff Keighley showed his fanboyism once again after years on his Sunday gametrailers show. Both consoles are eqaul with different strengths and weaknesses so drop it.

edit below Rmagnus: I honestly wasn't talking to you. Yes my post is below yours but not directed at you.

[Rmagnus]

i don't get you, i got no freaking issues with the 360. The reason i am mad is due to the craptastic job Sega did, nothing to do with the 360 at all i think you are barking up the wrong tree here

[MmaFanQc]

theres is something fishy with their screenshots, here is an other source .....ITS FAR to be pale and washed out....i seriously think the screenshot from gfdata.de do not represent the ps3 version.
http://www.gameswire.net/sc...
http://www.gameswire.net/sc...
http://www.gameswire.net/sc...

[Sarcasm]

The PS3's version screen tearing is unbearable. The frame rate chugs, some parts are over blurry and others are too jagged. It's so inconsistent. And the gameplay isn't all that great either.

The 360 version is the one to get. But even then, I'm skipping it altogether.

[LONEWOLF231]

Even though the 360 is the superior version on the DEMO. Ill be getting the PS3 version.......can anyone say IMPORT. Ohh and i doubt the final product will look the same.

[jack_burt0n]

I predict it will sell 50k worldwide on 360 lol all around fail from platinum.

[WildArmed]

After playing the demo last night on the ps3, I'm sold on the ps3 version.

It looks great, big whoop its washed out.. but less jaggies.

Doesnt matter.. and long as the game doesnt choke on the frame rate (which it didnt during the demo)

Cant wait

[iamtehpwn]

I said even though I'm getting the PS3 version because I prefer the controller to Xbox360, Both versions will basically be the same game?

I've learned you have to be a STRONG Fanboy partisan to get any back up It would seem. 6 disagrees and not a single reason why you disagreed with bipartisanship.

[Jamegohanssj5]

Wtf? Did they even try on the PS3 version? Not like I'm getting it any way. Too many exclusives next year.

TGSI

[hay]

Damn, my eyes must've gone bad. I fail to spot any difference except contrast.

[The Creep]

your eyes have definitely gone bad

[hay]

@The Creep: Could be. I work too much recently, and being a programmer doesn't help the eyes.

[Maddens Raiders]

if you happen to own a PS3. Don't believe me; just download the damn game and take a look for yourself. It's simply beautiful.

[y0haN]

IChaos, the reason for that is a fat cheque from MS.

[frostypants]

OK, not to be a jerk, but with Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2, and in addition to those the cross-platformers Modern Warfare 2 and Brutal Legend all hitting...

...well, honestly, what PS3 owners are going to even glance at this game? Especially with the God of War Collection coming around the bend. Maybe I'll be proven wrong and it will be great, but frankly my dog's poop seems to have more heat coming off of it than this. They could make the PS3 version look like Pong for all I care.

[maxcer]

@ iChaos Amongus

i find myself doing this too

[gameangel]

...fuzzy, drab non-digital shots.

Here's a proper comparison - 24 shots all pure-digital on max settings: http://n4g.com/xbox360/News...

[Christopher]

Why would I support a game wherein the developers obviously didn't feel it important enough to make it close to equal across both platforms? I don't see myself getting this for either console at full price. Perhaps when it hits $30, though.

Developers, take some pride in your work, don't just throw the work to a third party and then blame them for not making them equal. It's your damn game, for heaven's sake, don't you want it to be better?

[pixelsword]

The "washing out" can be fixed by contrast and brightness, so that's not an issue.

I guess if the framerate is similar enough, nothing matters, really; but from what I hear, the framerate is rock-solid on the 360. I'll have to find out myself if I decide to rent (not a buy for me; it's too... corny for my tastes).

Too bad neither version don't look as good as Devil May Cry 4, released a lot earlier than this game.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

I knew this would happen from the moment I heard "Sega". The PS3 is blurry and washed-out while the 360 version has zero anti-aliasing whatsoever. It's just like The Orange Box, where the PS3 version had better anti-aliasing while the 360 version ran smoother.

Is it really that difficult to make the game identical on both platforms? I seriously doubt it. -_-

[jack_burt0n]

After playing the ps3 demo version through 3 times this is a case of ppl blowing stuff out of proportion, there is quite a bit of screentearing while walking around other than that the famerate and look of the game is fine.

Serious fans importing the jp ps3 version for the packaging etc should not worry.

[thedisagreefairy]

hopefully they get all the kinks worked out in the ps3 version b4 it hits the market

edit- oh yeah. it releases next year for us overseas, my bad.
do u guys think theyll make some enhancements on it b4 the U.S. and europe relase date then?

if so, then ill pick this up

[Gago]

doubt it

it releases in japan like next week

[FlipMode]

Ahh look at the circle jerk, a likely AA game runs better on 360 and they go crazy.

Hehe, some things never change on N4G...............

Now do your job and slam that disagree button :-)

[Gago]

it will probably be one of the best action games this gen

it actually does something new and unique

[dustgavin]

"4.1 -
it will probably be one of the best action games this gen"

Maybe for 360 owners. PS3 has Uncharted 2.

[Gago]

uncharted 2 is a TPS

not a action game or a hack and slash genius

[BlackPrince 42]

Pretty significant difference between the PS3 and 360 versions. Hopefully it gets optimized more for the American release.

[Rmagnus]

not buying it if they don't make the effort to fix it

[v1c1ous]

if the differences arent game breaking and wont be noticeable during gameplay.

why not buy it?

[Homicide]

The framerate drops are noticeable in the PS3 demo from the Japan PSN store. 360 version is smooth :)

[SCThor]

because I don't want a half-ass poorly ported game. If I still had a Xbox360 I would get that version, but since I gave out xbox360 since it died on me about 2 years ago, I guess I'll pass.

I hope SEGA put some more effort in their next porting project, if that's the way they gonna go with multiplatforms games.

[Rmagnus]

lack of polish. Small details can n offen affect the game to me. Example Wii is supposed to be the weakest system out there and they came out with a gem call Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Vanillaware took time and effort to polish and make the game and to me its one of the best looking game out there (please don't compare it to UC2 totally different art style)

I am not hating on Platinum games its just that SEGA did not put in the effort to work on the game so why should I buy it? If you played the ps3 demo you will notice the framerates starts messing up even when she's alone in the room. And the real sad thing is I don't even own a 360 so i guess i will be missing out on this game altogether... Thanks Sega

[frostypants]

Again, as PS3 owners, with everything that's coming out, why should we even care about this game? It's B-list, baby! Why are they even bothering with releasing it for the PS3 at all?

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

@ PS3 slim

Ao you give us the verdict of a guy who find Resistance 2 a better FPS experience than KZ2 and that is suppose to prove what?! Both games run and play on the Sony machine and for most they would actually argue that KZ2 is more immersed gameplay wise with its cinematic quality feel and excellent visuals and sound

Multilayer is slow?! LMAO

Has he ever played in the Academy with 32 players all launching Missiles and grenades simultaneously whilst everyone is trying to spawn in the toilets!

[HDgamer]

Buying the ps3 version, because I'm a trophy whore.

[HDgamer]

Thats sad fanboys disagree because they are pathetic in nature.

[RumbleFish]

have a bubble! :)

[Saaking]

Will get this on xbox 360... NOT

[chrisulloa]

Yeah, I totally believe that coming from someone who has an Xbox. You'd have to be a total idiot to buy this game on PS3 if you have a 360. Nothing wrong with the PS3 itself, it's Sega's fault. I guess have fun playing PS3 version?

[The Almighty PS3rd]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA CRY MOAR Mr.PS3rd place loser!!!

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

[Highatus]

Sorry, no those screens are not actual. I have the Bayonetta demo from the Japan store, and it looks nothing like the one they are claiming are the PS3 ones. If you'd like i can take my own screens and prove them wrong. I don't know what the 360 version looks like, but again those are not the PS3 screens.

PS thanks for the crap comparison article.

[MGSR THE HD VERSION]

these are screens taken from the ps3 demo.
http://www.gameswire.net/sc...

and yes it does look like that.
http://www.gameswire.net/sc...
http://www.gameswire.net/sc...

[sparta76]

How the hell would u know u don't have a PS3..!
Yeah this is bull.., it does NOT look this bad!!!

[Highatus]

First pic is definite crap.

There is framerate issues for sure.

And you guys jump the gun very quick i'm simply stating those screens are inaccurate.

I got a screen cap, poor lighting in my living room but you get the point.

bare with me uploading image....

And there you go...

go ahead and disagree...

[Highatus]

Compare my Photo to the supposed Direct Feed pic... Really??

Zoomed out and poor lighting in my LR and it still looks better than that supposed direct feed, and it still doesn't do the actual game justice for this comparison.

Quick HD jump on your accounts and disagree. I could care less really and feel rather unfortunate for you since you don't have a choice on what to play your games on nor the exclusives for each.

After looking up your comment history you might want to wash that sand outta your vag.

[Gago]

lol are you retarded, taking a picture of a picture isn't going to give a accurate image

[GameOn]

What is that photo suppose to prove. Try taking a direct screen capture next time.

[Highatus]

Actually the question is are you?

Show me a pic online that is the same as mine... Go ahead... Show me please.

Unfortunate for you, you won't find one because it's taken from the demo. But go ahead and try and prove me wrong.

I will give you props for making yourself look like an idiot though. Make sense when you post... Especially if you are trying to prove someone wrong.

[Highatus]

It proves that even taking a picture from the TV from the demo is better than the one they provided.

And if i could i would. (Direct Screen Cap that is)

[ultimolu]

I agree with you. I played it for myself too and I actually like the combat. I didn't see the HUUUUUGE problems people were talking about. There were issues though that should be addressed but other than that it wasn't THAT bad.

[Keowrath]

Highatus give up mate. I'm a PS3 only owner and can't count the times what I see on my 42" viera at home looks a shed load better than these comparisons.

Cleaner, more vibrant, dark shadows and blacks. It's all about whether you set your system up correctly. You'll still get attacked by people who don't own the same equipment as you do. Leave em to it, they're just ignorant.

[abi980]

foggy conditions on the ps3 version

[GameOn]

Real time weather?

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

PS3 version looks softer which is more appealing to the eyes.

360 version has stronger lighting.

Other than that, near flawless from what I can tell.

Edit:

Just read some other comments, sorry am I missing something?

Edit: From the site? I clicked the link, and all I got were 4 images, do I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Ah thank you Rmagnus, I'll do that tomorrow, My guess is that it's either on the Japan or UK store correct?

[Rmagnus]

ur eyes check my friend either that or you are trying very hard to deny that this port from Sega is utter rubbish.

U did not notice the frame rates dropping when she first appear in the empty room tutorial? You did not notice how horrible her glass were in the first cutscene on the train when they zoom in on her face? You did not notice the lack of details from the environment? You did not notice the frame rate dropping like flies each time they cut into the cutscene?

Honestly you really don't see any of that?

edit 2: Play the demo my friend, I was so hyped when I first learn about the game and right now i am feeling mighty depress. Gameplay wise its really fun its way better than all the action games i played this gen yet Sega cant even port it right

Its on the Japan store, the sole reason i am so upset is the game is really really fun.....

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Must need my eyes checked, because I'm looking at it now, and the Ps3 version seems softer while the 360 version has better lighting.

What am i missing?

Edit:

As said above, all I see are 4 image comparisons, no videos, nothing.

[Gen0ne]

... but, looking at those screens, it seems as though my 360's gonna get it instead. I'm sorry but I have zero faith that Sega will pull it off in time. Dammit.

[Keowrath]

I'm really looking forward to this myself on PS3. I am incredibly skeptical hearing all the doom and gloom regarding the Sony version.

I downloaded the demo but have yet to try it out. I wouldn't be surprised if I see a vast improvement over these screens but I am worried about the frame rate and screen tear. Sega really seemed to have dropped the ball... I keep getting flashbacks of that god awful golden axe game.

Gotta try the demo tonight.

[aaronisbla]

shame really, but like someone said, if it isnt gamebreaking, people should still get it interests them

[Rmagnus]

I don't agree, it will be telling sega its ok to screw us over, just port it in anyway you see fit and we ps3 owners will buy it

Edit: this will be the first time i am actually envy 360 for having a better version of a game i really want...

[Bren86]

360 version wins

[Light Yagami]

360 version better as expected.

[dustgavin]

Unfortunately, still ages behind PS3 exclusives.

[NecrumSlavery]

Played the JP PS3 demo today. Didn't notice any real issues. It was one hell of an action game. Graphics aren't amazing but still good. Didn't compare it to the 360. I don't undestand why the PS3 version suffers. Most developers now are getting really good with it's technology. I'll just rent I assume. I give two Shiitz about my gamerscore but am 100% dedicated to my trophy collection. Fallout DLC is pushing me over 450 trophies.

[Midgard228]

dunno why everyone is complainin bout graphics it didnt hurt my eyes.

only complaint is i hate all the characters especially bayonneta, so annoying with her dumb poses during attacks uggh, her foice and shes just so ugly and long. but w/e gameplay is fun lol, doubt it will last as long as DMC with unlikable characters tho atleast for me

[presto717]

Wow. Funny cuz I feel the exact opposite. The game just breathes of sexiness. Plus kick ass action to boot. You even fight on walls. Damn.

My only problem is the frame rate issues. If saga can fix that, then I will buy their game for my ps3.

[rjgbyrne]

Jaggies, harsh brightness, amazing they tout the Xbox version as superior, I need to see it in action but its a new DMC4 really so I think I will skip this.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

you have to see it in motion. you will realize then that the 360 version is better.

[Gobot]

downloaded the demo on the japanese store and the graphics are nothing like the screens shots they always put up. ps3 version has major slowdown, when you walk around with no enemies it slows down, even the in-game cgi has slow down.

if anyone wants to play this game early, just buy devil may cry4.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

as i said yesterday, http://n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-...

im not getting the PS3 version, sega and P* should shove this game up their butts. you dont lead, or give attention to the PS3 version of your game, its going to play like crap. its been 3 years,yet these devs still dont learn.

[Rmagnus]

nothing to do with them, its Sega who screw up the damn port

LOL u are a joke, P8 did not have enough resources to work on both, Sega wants it to be release on both System at the same time

Piss of phidophile

[saint_john_paul_ii]

and who allowed Sega to Port it? mmh?

remember Valve with the Orange Box? i dont have to talk about that story again, do I?

Does the Pope have to slap a B***h?

[mastiffchild]

Well, though I didn't think the PS3 demo I played was as bad as people are making out I agree that the blame can be put more at Platinums door. The cases of the original dev farming out the port and it being lackng are there for all to catalogue.

If they were scared of developing for PS3 they should have made it 360 exclusive, no? If one version gets lead development duties with the creators of the game and the other gets a port of that verion done by someone else which should be better?

Done the other ways round(i.e had Platinum refused to don a port from PS3 to 360) the results may well have been similarly poor.

Though, as I said, I haven't noticed much at all playing the Japanese demo this evening. Well, apart from finding out the game isn't for me anyway. I like weird and I like kooky, sometimes, but Bayonetta is just too self indulgent and style(which isn't stylish) over content for me and the combat isn't far away enough from Dante et al to wash the taste of DMC from my mouth and, sadly, feels like Hideki Kamiya has done a lot on autopilot to me.

So, yeah, Platinum have let PS3 owners down here but only if you, unlike me, can see a big issue with the port or, again unlike me, find the game to your tastes.

That said I'm a little surprised at the poor quality of the 360 version(rare to see more jaggies on a 360 version of a multi)in this comparison which leads me to think something's up with the article or their capture tech. Honestly, though, the demo did look a lot better than those pics on my TV and all I really got was a few framedrops-though they happened at some odd times and not always when the screen was busy. All very weird-very, bottom line though is Platinum should do their own ports of their own games or, more sensibly, lead on PS3 for the best all round multi results. Not hard to figure out really so why so stupid?

[jetlian]

many times must it be said 360 has better textures capability than ps3! 3-4 years into this and the same conclusion has appeared over and over

[dustgavin]

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

Keep dreaming, kid.

[jetlian]

1 im 27
2 whats the hell does uncharted have to do with what i said?! uncharted doesn't have the best textures if thats what your thinking

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

"Uncharted 2 doesn't have the best textures..."

We'll remember that one for years to come, my friend.

Lols.

Killzone 2, anyone?

I'm not sure you understand how textures work.

It involves the engine itself. The PS3 can take more. It can always take more.

Why am I even typing this?

:(

[jetlian]

A texture as far as gaming is concerned. Is nothing more than a picture placed on a 3d object.

http://mayang.com/textures/...

you can use those in a 3d program. Why would a sega purposely lower the res on ps3? Unless they couldn't get it to fit as is!! lets look at ram both have 512 right? wrong! 360 has 522. which is where the differance is made.

[Gitaroo]

you guys know that you have to disable the 1080p mode in the display setting so the game can output at 720p? The software upscaling solution added alot of blur to the overally image quality, much like ninja gaiden sigma 2. The game looks alot sharper and has a little less screen tearing in 720p.

[Gago]

the game doesn't run in 1080p genius

its 720p native

[ottoman_239]

Looks like a PS2 game.

[LCF]

Well I have the demo and running in 1080p HDMI RGB full on a 46" true 1080p screen, those screen pics looks nothing like the PS3 demo I've been playing. This game takes me back to the 1st Devil May Cry game. There is a slight drop in frames when it gets crazy good, however this is just a demo. That being said it's a day one purchase for me.
the combos are nice and slick.

[Mc Fadge]

Anybody else want to confirm? I'm new to this pixel counting stuff :P

[Hercules]

its sega ....oh well ps3 aint so bad....plus ITS A FREAKING DEMO!!

[Mikey Mike]

Except the PS3 is darker, due to the fact that the Full RGB mode is on.

[Becko]

It seems like if on the 360 a HDMI was used while on the PS3 they switched to composite cables instead... wonder if the person who did the comparison didn't actually did the cable thing ?

Anyway the 360 version looks colorful and vivid while the PS3 looks blurry ... and what about the framerate does both versions share the same framerate or are we PS3 owners gimped with the FPS as well ?

lower FPS + lower texture = I'm not buying this

This game is still not in my to-buy list cause im waiting for Uncharted 2, NGS2, COD MW2 and Lost Planet 2. I honestly do not like Bayonetta's design....i dont find her sexy at all even in skin tight outfit and mind you im a sucker for girls with glasses. But i do hope that it turns out to be a good game cause i might still purchase it in the future if it is.

[VINNIEPAZ]

Ok this is coming from a guy who owns both systems and played the demo for both versions and I can tell you the XBOX360 version runs a lot better.

I played the PS3 one 1st and noticed some screen tearing (its wasn't as bad as some games I've seen).

Then I played the 360 version. It ran very smooth and didnt notice any screen tearing.

Then I went back and played the PS3 version again and then noticed it started slowing down at times, didn't notice it until I played the 360 version.

Bottom line, get the 360 version.

[Omegabalmung]

all the screenshot looks very washed out of the PS3 screens but on my TV it looks like the exact picture from the 360 screenshot.

The problems I ran to on the PS3 demo is Screen Tearing while moving the camera and frame drops during cutscenes.

[Darkseider]

I downloaded this demo first thing when it came out on the Japanese PS store. The pictures here are skewed and misleading. Also there is no noticable tearing or framerate issues at all. This is no different than the whole Assassin's Creed screenshot debacle. Download and judge for yourself and see just how much BS these shots are as well as the BS people are spewing about tearing and framerate issues.

[VINNIEPAZ]

You must be blind becuz there IS screen tearing, I'll admit its not that bad compared to most games I played but its there never the less. As far as slowdown I didnt notice it until AFTER I played the 360 version, that bothered me more than the screen tearing.

To say that screen tearing/slowdown are not in the game is a total lie man.

[Darkseider]

I think the problem people are having is that they have 1080p checked off and the PS3 is software scaling it. Turn off the 1080p display option and let the game run in native 720p. Way sharper, no slowdowns and no noticeable screen tearing to me.

[VINNIEPAZ]

Ok I just got back from playing @ 720p and no difference. Go to the part down the hall with the black/white checkered floor and spin the camera around (I set mine pretty fast) and look up a lil bit. You will see the windows breakup horribly. And when I do the spin the stick and shoot move, I'm not gonna say it slowed down, but when you play the 360 both the camera spin and the spin move are silky smooth.

[Darkseider]

Did it a few times and when the camera is set faster than default the tearing is more noticable. Although when I played the demo I didn't go panning around the hall and just ran through w/ default camera settings and to my eye wasn't any noticeable fubars. Although when doing what you suggested the tearing is noticeable. It also seems to worsen when the camera speed is bumped up.

[rbluetank]

the main character looks like a giraffe with high heels on... i do not know what jaggie are. can some one tell me where to look on the video for jaggie. i want to be able to reference this on other games. i usaully like a game and just buy/rent. i do not look for stuff like jaggie. lol

[Killz79]

not for nothing, but this game looks mad gay period.anybody agree?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

It's not the best looking game either way...

...but I can assure you people...after playing the demo...

...it's FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Wannabe?

This guy CREATED the action genre as we know it today!

He created Devil May Cry...which is still ten times the action game that God of War is.

Maybe God of War has that whole "epic" feel down...but Devil May Cry is still more FUN!

[WildArmed]

Amen to that.
No disrepect to GoW..
but DMC is GoW's daddy.

[BYE]

As a hack'n'slash multiplatform title I like Dante's Inferno better.

Plus, Visceral actually know what they're doing on the PS3.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Nobody will match this combo system. I guarantee it.

Ninja Gaiden has yet to even touch the first Devil May Cry's combo system...let alone 2, 3, or 4.

Just like in DMC, you need to know the combos...or you'll get crushed!

Bayonetta is FUN! That's why I'm getting it.

Screw graphics. It's FUN!

[cemelc]

LOl no, thats your opinion.

The combo system "for me" in ninja gaiden is 10 time better than devil may cry.

Aside ninja gaiden is challenging and faster game in general than devil may cry

Plot wise any game is better than NG. The game is all about skill nothing more.

On topic:
I like bayonnetta a lot, has style and a nice combo system going for it.

[DigitalAnalog]

I'll wait for the PS3 owners to give feedback on this game, and if the reception is positive, I will get it.

[roybatty]

I have to say (AGAIN) the graphics chip in the ps3 is wank.
Not as sharp and black levels are not as good as the ati.
Now this bugs me as, on the whole, the 360 is a POS IMO,
but I do like the rendering of colour on it. And I'll admit that.

And before any crying ps3 fan boy try's to cry about contrast and brightness settings......just don't. This is a hardware level issue.
The ps2 had great black levels and colour intensity and the xbox1 did not.
Tables are turned this gen, Nvidia suck ass for consoles.

And if you don't belive me, anyone out there with a OG 60gig ps3 like I have (thank god) that has full ps2 chipset, boot into a PS2 game and just watch the black get more.....well black. For even more accuracy I own Marvel Vs Capcom2 on ps2 (worth $$!) and I have the psn demo of the ps3 version. (which, is a port of the superior DC version),
Anyway play the full hard copy ps2 one on a ps2 or 60g ps3, and then play the ps3 port. Take pics and realize........Nvidia sucks balls for consoles and Ati are just the best.
Or maybe the chips M$ used for Xbox1 and Sony for Ps3 are cheap IDK.
But the prof is in the pudding time and time again. I love my ps3, I really do, but these comparisons depress me. I could live with the 'lesser' textures but the black levels and colour intensity is a bummer.

PS2 didn't even have Ati, it used emotion engine to do near everything,
and even that had terrific black levels and 'meaty' colours.

[Keowrath]

Not disagreeing with you as I'm genuinly interested in the game and am looking at peoples opinions. Which seem very varied to say the least, whether that is down to fanboyism or not is another matter.

Did you actually try the demo, you don't actually mention that you did is why I ask. I know for a fact that upon seeing many of these comparisons that what I see and play at home looks a lot better than screenshots these comparisons show. I very rarely see the whole washed out thing that is supposed to hinder the PS3.

I've got the demo but yet to try it. I was gonna take a look last night but carried away with a mad session of NGS2.

Like I said, I'm not disagreeing, just curious if your findings were from playing the actual dfemo or just by viewing these screens.

[Salta_nelas]

Altough the game looks poor on both, it looks much sharper on the 360. I honestly dont understand why devs still fail when porting games these days.

[maspi]

Honestly,textures and lightning are better on xbox360, but grafically this game is average.a 2 years old game like Devil may cry 4, looks better.

[divideby0]

both look like crap

[Immigrant]

its the cell

[hakis86]

Haven't you guys learned by now that we can't trust screenshots from various sites?

[Gameswire]

Hi everyone, you may as well ignore this comparison, as the PS3 and 360 screenshots have not been captured using pure-digital means.

The PS3 screenshots in this comparison are fuzzy and washed out - something that happens when you capture PS3 screenshots using crappy analogue component leads. The site will have done this because they don't have means of defeating the PS3's HDCP.

For those of you who haven't clicked the links elsewhere in this thread, have a look at this gallery: http://www.gameswire.net/sc...

We did pure-digital direct feed grabs from the demo, and as you can see, the fuzziness and washed out look isn't apparent in our shots.

We'll do a proper comparison between the PS3 and 360 demos just as soon as we can get hold of the 360 demo. I'll openly admit that we tried to yesterday, but we can't get our Japanese account upgraded to gold, and thus, we can't hold of the demo. A bit embarrassing, but there you go. If anyone out there has a Japanese gold account that we can use to acquire the demo, then we'd be very grateful and you'll earn a special place in our hearts along with a written thank you in our comparison article when it finally goes up. Contact me at [email protected] if you can help.

Cheers
Gameswire

[hakis86]

Bubble to you!

[Gameswire]

Our comparison is now live: http://n4g.com/xbox360/News...

PS3 version still comes off a bit worse than the 360 (seems to be mostly down to resolution), but at least you'll be looking at proper shots.

[Gago]

those screens look even worse!

but thanks for showing me how much better the 360 version looks

[PopEmUp]

this game look like chaos of Legion on PS2

[bjornbear]

IS DUE TO THE SUPERWHITE OFF AND THE RGN FULL RANGE NOT ON FULL!!!....these people NEVER put it on.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Every game in these comparisons has this off! Its so ANNYOYING! Because it makes a diff! Especially on multi plats!

I'm no big graphics person, these comparisons mean nothing to me, but if you are going to do a job do it well.

[Snake Pliskin]

multi-plats. I BUY PS3 EXCLUSIVES ONLY! TOP THAT CRAPBOX BOTTY BOYS!

[Jeremy Gerard]

you have a choice!!! PS3 sucks at running game code, its made to play blurays not games. I hope you enjoy your two or three decent exclusives, cuz ALL the multiplats play better on 360. PS3 just does not have the power to run games like 360, deal with it and go pick yourself up a 360, stop carrying water for Sony.

@below, Ps3 is holding back multiplats on 360! How come 360 can run any code on PS3 when they port from PS3 to 360, but when you port from 360 to PS3, PS3 can't handle it, its pretty clear who is getting the downgrade and why, everyone suffers because the morons at Sony actually thought it would be cute to make developers try to figure out how to get a bluray player to run game code LOL!

[Dr_Nefarious]

@ Jeremy Retard,

You are definately mistaken for your god aweful observations of how games are supposedly better on the 360 when it's multi. Why is Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 night and day difference, and it's the Ps3 version that literally destroys the 360 version? So you think the PS3 is holding multiplats back then huh?

[xg-ei8ht]

Game looks poor on both systems.

Contrasty on 360

And faded on PS3.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

Dumb DEVS get confused . Now naughty dog there good. They should have call naughty up and said ...show me how to work the cell. anyways its just another shltty azz multiplat games that i wont be buying ...

go for the ps3 exclusive for next gen shlt.....

[Bordel_1900]

I downloaded it from the JAP store, I kinda hated it, the amount of screen tearing is really bad. I'll stay away from this game.

[Dr_Nefarious]

hmmmmm.....something fishy is going on here in this comparison. Some one is lying.

[zoks310]

....devs not leading on PS3 then porting to 360, if dev's would embrace bluray and the cell their games would look better even after the PS3 lead game is ported down to the 360.

This gen got stuck with cheap, affordable, old last gen development tech (DVD9/ no standard for HDD in all consoles) thanks to the success of the 360, and I can't blame the developers for being cheap because in this economy they have all right to be cheap. What we should do is not support their IP's until it is clear that the dev's are using the best technology available (bluray/cell) to create their games, like some of you already stated "this garbage does not belong in my $600 PS3" so this will be a skip for me.

We spent our hard earned money buying $400/$600 consoles the least the dev's can do is show some love and make games that utilizes the tech in these consoles (PS3/360).

[tudors]

I think the graphics in this game are really good, what are the reviews like?

[Whitefox789]

That people are giving some attention or at least show some interest in Bayonetta since its been awhile since Hideki Kamiya had a new IP, and people aren't just saying its a DMC rip off.

I don't know where they got the idea since the man making it is the father of the series though he was only involved in the first one.

I am disappointed however that the only way this game got to be popular is through a meaningless flame war I'm sure we can do some better things with our time but until then all we have is gaming so we might as well as get along. Right?

[DarkTower805]

My God! The cutscenes were terrible to watch. Jaggies all over, framerate sucks, and overall looks like trash. Aside from the cutscenes, everything did have nice colors, not washed out like the photos. I even compared in the sames spots as some of the photos. I don't know what they did but the comparisons aren't fair.

But like I said, the cutscenes are horrendous and a pain to watch. I won't be picking up this game after that. It's a shame too, if the devs put in a better effort this game could have rocked.

[Killman]

To hell with Sega.

[beardpapa]

So i tried the PS3 version of the demo, and I don't really notice any frame rate issues when it came to the gameplay. Smooth on my side. The lighting and texture work isn't good compared to the screens I've seen but the frame rate wasn't as bad as some people here made it to be. The frame rate chugs during the cutscenes though, but I think they were prerendered. Is that what you guys are referring to?
Well, I don't care for this game anyways. If i wanted hot sexy babes fighting demons, I'm sure there's an anime around the corner that fills that niche.

[wiipapo29]

Listen guy 1st off to be honest with u they both look taped like we have some 360fanboys uploaded the pic. I want to see this game on my tv then we can compare right now its all about sells this will always be the game they play with muiti platform games we all are being played

[Rusted]

Dual console owners: get it for your 360, PS3 owners.. duh.

Old story, multiplats generally looks better in MS console (but not much difference in this one really)

Gonna download the demo for my PS3 after work :)
