Bayonetta Famitsu score is real - 360 40/40, PS3 38/40

SCRAWL: "That perfect score for Bayonetta is no hoax. This week's issue of Famitsu has leaked tonight and the scans prove that Bayonetta did in fact receive a perfect 40/40... on Xbox 360, at least. The PlayStation 3 version of the game wasn't as up to par, according to Famitsu, scoring the game a 38/40."

[chrisulloa]

LOLOL. Is that your excuse for everything?

"It only got good reviews because Microsoft paid them, HURR duRR"

[jakethemuss]

As there is only one truth.

[54percent]

sorry, I can't hear the bots, playing Uncharted 2

[ZBlacktt]

ownage? No son, ownage is you for buying a console with the worst reliability rating in the history of video games. How's it feel to be a sucker? Then it's a old school DVD player? No Wi-Fi? No AAA games? and you pay to play online? For what? Yes, you got owned alright.

Besides, does anyone really care for this game? I mean come on, on the grand scale of things set to release and ones just put out. For the PS3 that is.

O_o Wow! you are like the most hated on waste on the forum, lol... congrats! Your opinion means zero.

[Man_of_the_year]

I have no problem owning the highest failure rated console. I also had a PS1 which was also the highest rated failing console during its time, i also had a PS2, which was also the highest failure rated console during its time, and yet i loved all the games that were on both consoles, just like i love all the games that i am playing on the 360 and PS3.

Only difference is, with the PS1 and PS2 i had to buy new consoles to replace the broken ones, but with the 360, i have had 3 RROD's and have not paid a cent for repairs or shipping. And i still get to play the best version of multiplat games and the great exclusives the 360 has AND the PS3 have to offer.

[ZBlacktt]

First off, thanks for you're honesty on all the broken Xboxes you've gone through. As far as PS1 breaking? Here, he is mine from the mid 90's.

http://i29.photobucket.com/...

Infact, here, this a some on my console's. I'm not having a single issue with things breaking. The PS1's and 2's are from the lanuch time. I used to hook the two PS1's together with a link cable to play head to head C&C with friends that you see from pictue one.

http://i29.photobucket.com/...

As far as "best versions" of video games. Get a better TV. I can assure you these side by sides are nothing of real issue. Adjust you're TV settings. Funny though, if a Blu-ray movie looks 80 times better than a DVD movie and exclusive PS3 games look a 100 times better than anything on the Xbox. You think multi console games are much different?

As far as the PS1 and PS2 being high fail rates. I guess selling 125,000,000 PS1's and 138,000,000 PS2's really reflects that bad product well. Look at the Xbox'es record. Look at it's sells chart compared to the PS3. People are waking up to that fact that it is the biggest hardware failure product in the gaming history. I'm a 30+ year gamer. I love games period. But 4 years, 7 console variations later we are still seeing a record fail rate is totally uncalled for. We both have seen consoles come and go in our lifetime of gaming. We both know if the Xbox was made by someone other than MS, say Sega. It would have been dropped in year 2 after the first billion in lost revenue due to the massive repairs. You know this to be a fact.

[ZBlacktt]

To the person that disagreed with my statement about. You should remain hidden. You fail in gaming and a lack the experience in this conversation.

[Man_of_the_year]

Just because you didn't have the experience of a system breaking doesn't mean that there wansn't a lot that did. I know guys that have their original Launch 360...you and i both know that they can't say that there isn't a problem with faulty hardware in the 360 just because theirs didn't break.

I too had the Lan cable and played Doom and Red Alert back in the day with my brother's back to mine while we played. Good times.

Also, i own a 48' 1080p LCD Samsung HDTV and a 36' 1080i LCD Samsung HDTV. I can assure you my tv's are some of the best HDTV's on the market for gaming on. It has been proven time and time again that multiplats run and or look better on the 360. I don't need to justify this as you are also a member on N4G and MUST have seen the comparisons. As a matter of fact, there is a comparison right now for Brutal Legend...If you are truely a gaming and are "in the know" then there is no way you can refute the FACT that even though the trend is becoming smaller and smaller, multiplats are still showing better performance on the 360.

Bottom line, the PS1 and PS2 are the highest failure rated consoles for the corresponding generation of consols, and i still bought them and enjoyed them. Remember the days of having to turn your PS1 upsidedown just so that it would read the disc? I had 3 PS1's and 3 PS2's. I own a PS3 AND a 360 because i am a gamer. MS has not charged me a cent for the faulty consoles, however Sony did for theirs.

[swiftshot93]

Im sensing a bad port from Sega. FFS, if you cant get around the PS3 by now, dont even bother.

[Dragun619]

I hope that Sega fixes whatever the issues are by the time it releases here in the states next year, because there isn't really any excuse for a bad port, especially now as most developers are catching on with PS3's architecture.

[Reibooi]

Considering it PS3 version is lower by only 2 points I really don't think it's that big of a deal. From the Demo the game still looked great and I really don't see what the fuse is all about. Granted there were not any points in the demo where the frame dropped which is one thing they have said is a issue with the PS3 version but Sega has time to fix the game a bit before the US release.

[gamingisnotacrime]

strange, the demo was rock solid.

Either way im in a crusade against "profesional" reviews with not set standards except when the franchise is beloved. Once a fellow N4G user questioned my trust on amazon reviews or unknown fellow gamers in N4G. All i have to say is that i have been lucky to chat with some gamers here about game reccommendations and they have been spot on. The gaming media is not trutsworthy (maybe pslifestyle, they deliver quality), and each day i rely more and more on fellow gamers on online retails and some N4G users that dont bash games, for example thx to fellow gamers in N4G i got Shadow of the Colossus and that game is a GEM!
One love to all, i trully love gaming, just like there are sport fans, iam a gaming fan

PSN: NoGodsOnlyMan
(inspired by Bioshock :)

If you can get your hands on Demons Souls dont hesitate, what an experience

[poopface1]

38/40 is still really good, but Ill be playing it on 360 since I have the choice.

[Darkstorn]

Wow, I was not expecting such a high score for this game.

[callahan09]

What a joke. I played the PS3 demo, and it ran smoothly, so I don't know where the complaints about the port come from. If two of the reviewers gave it a 10 on both platforms, what the hell was up with the other two who felt like taking a point off of the PS3 version? (Or did different people review the two different versions, and if that's the case, then why would they have different reviewers for the two different versions?)

But all that's besides the point... it just isn't a perfect score worthy game. Of all the dozens of incredible games over the past 10 years that did not get a 40 from Famitsu, they really think that this game is better, and more worthy of a perfect score? The demo isn't the full version, I grant you that, but it had some pretty plain level design, not very exciting boss battles, kind of trite battle mechanics, and just all-in-all it struck me as kind of an average game amongst the likes of Devil May Cry, God of War, Ninja Gaiden, etc.

[mal_tez92]

WTF is Bayonetta? Am I the only one to have no idea what this game is?

[IcyJoker187]

Good only 2 points less.

[MikeGdaGod]

i have never heard of this game!!!

[cyberwaffles]

i'm curious to know what their review scores are for ninja gaiden 2 and ninja gaiden sigma 2. if the 2 points discrepancy is so prominent between these two versions, surely NGS2 would get a significantly higher score.

EDIT: is anyone having a hard time logging in on PSN? i want to play MAG dammit.

[kaya]

never heard of it either o.0

[Foliage]

Famitsu has for some time used different reviewers for a game on both platforms. If you swap the games between the reviewers you'd probably be seeing a 38/40 for the 360 version.

This is like comparing a review from two different websites.

But fanboys like to over-embellish everything, so go nuts.

[rockleex]

Hopefully.

I don't think 1-2 framerate drops are enough to lower one full point from 2 of the reviewers, unless it is horrendously choppy framerates that distract from the game.

[sunnygrg]

This still wont change the fact that the PS3 version will downright outsell the 360 version in Japan. Just saying though, and yes I have played both the versions and yes the 360 version does indeed run smoother.

[The 1]

I just won't believe people are surprised by this, the differences were pointed out at TGS and by all the comparison people since then. This has nothing to do with Sega and everything to do with PS3. Just because PS3 has a few games with 5 or 6 year development times with super developer teams doesn't mean it is the more capable console. With two different teams the 360 version was not held back so they can match it with the PS3 version, simple.

[sirbigam]

Lol this game is suspect.....

[rockleex]

Just like how The Orange Box PS3 version's problems had nothing to do with EA porting instead of Valve?

Right.

[ABizzel1]

What do you guys mean only 2 points less. There should be no difference at all, it's inexcusable to have a bad port at this point of time.

Tekken 6 scores surprised me. 33/40

[andron]

If the difference is only 2 points then it can't be that bad a port.

But I will play the demo before deciding if I'm getting this one. Would really hope Sega could optimize it before release in the west next year, but that probably won't happen...

[redsquad]

I've heard of it, but just never cared about it. Everything I saw looked underwhelming and to be honest, I'm still not convinced.

[Syronicus]

Poor ports get no money from me. If you have not figured out how to port a game by now, maybe you should look into some other career... Like underwater basket weaving?

[frostypants]

Bayo-whatta? Who cares? Have 360 fanboys really been reduced to putting all their hope into this?

[BLuKhaos]

PS3 outselling all the other consoles in the US, Japanese reviewers scoring the 360 versions of games higher?

Either way the PS3 demo was pretty good.The game ran at a silky smooth 60fps during battles at all times.So I guess the Sega Port won't be a bad one like the Orange Box.

[4Sh0w]

This game looks like major fun on either system, but of course fanboys will just like to analyze the small differences.

[Consoldtobots]

this is a situation that wont change until both GT5 and GOW3 release and sell nillions of units. Right now there is no incentive to create a separate budget, team and development process for a Ps3 version of a multiplat. The rationale is that there is little payoff for the effort to maximise a title for the Ps3. Of course I disagree and know the real reason is fear of pissing off the 360 fanbase.

[MEsoJD]

convinced me not to get the game. That's fine, the only game I might

get now after demons souls and uncharted 2 is Ratchet and Clank.

[Ldubbz]

I have been saying how epic this game is since I played it at E3, and this score serves to validate that. I doubt it will necessarily get perfect scores from everyone else, but I expect them to be high.

People on here masquerading as gamers...you people do know that this is Kamiya making this game, right? RE2? Viewtiful Joe? DMC? Okami? If this game wasnt on radar at all, and you like action games, then you are no gamer. I found DMC4 to be sorta boring, but Bayonetta was instantly much better right from the get go.

And where is this nonsense coming from with some people saying that Batman AA looked better on PS3? From the IGN review:

"If you want to start a flame war, the graphics tend to be sharper on the Xbox 360 when compared to the PS3, which packs a 1.2 GB install that lasts for three minutes"

Seriously, why do people reach for something thats not there?

[The 1]

EA has nothing to do with this. This is happening with almost every game from plenty of developers. It's also getting worse and the only thing that explains the differences getting worse again is these new games are getting more impressive technically, showing PS3s weakness even more. If developers don't deliberately scale back their games because of PS3 being the lowest common denominator we will see more gaps like we see in Bayonetta, Operation Flashpoint 2, Dirt 2 and so on.

The 360 has a faster GPU, Better Graphics Card and more memory also unified. The lead platform doesn't matter the 360 will come out on top or on par every time and that's just the visuals I won't even get into the way these games run on each console. Borderlands is showing some differences now.

[Persistantthug]

The PS3's GPU (550 MHz) is actually "faster" than the one in the XBOX 360's (500 MHz).

However,The XBOX 360 has some extra features. Some of those features can be complemented if done by the CELL PROCESSOR, and that's where the problem is. Some Developers aren't programming for the CELL and are trying to stick with what they've always known with linear operations instead of programming with parallel programing techniques.
There's no question that if done so, the results can be astonishing...Graphics that rival some of the best PC games. Uncharted 2 is the latest shining example as it is the current CROWING POINT ACHIEVEMENT for all console graphics technology.

[pixelsword]

...I'm sure the magazine is excellent for the audience they cater to, but they score things not according on how I like to play games; so it's great for the 360 version of Bayonetta, but not necessarily good for me.

[Spike47]

Who cares if the ps3 version is missing a pixel or two, we have games like Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2, enough said. Troll.

[chrisulloa]

Dude Raider and Sh1tzone 2? No thanks

[Saaking]

That the best you can do? Dude raider? haha, lmao at you. I played the demo on the PS3 and it was great.

[ZBlacktt]

chrisulloa,

So Halo is a wannabe Boba Fett? Been a boring year for that console hasn't it, lol. While you keep seeing all these GOTY titles over on the PS3 come out, lol... then the epic reviews. Do people laugh when you say Halo as in a hardcore gamer? Just wondering.

wth? Your liked here, lol.

Blame Sega for the bad PS3 port, too bad.

[WIIIS1]

Thought you were going to blame 360 for holding back PS3, but I guess some people do understand that it is the console with the inferior game that is doing the holding back.

[Syronicus]

You wish bud, you wish. The future of gaming is found in the greater hardware and while the PS3 will continue to see great games come out with better graphics exclusively, the only thing you and the rest of the 360 fans have to hold onto is a few better looking multiplatform games. Keep holding on to the dream and the rest of us will continue playing games like Uncharted 2 and looking forward to games that obliterate anything found ont he 360, even the mighty multiplats... lol

[oohWii]

haha, looking at your avatar and then reading your comment, it's pretty funny they actually match. That comment sounds exactly like something that would be said by the guy in the avatar pic.

Quite interesting...lol

One more thing, when the PS3 gets an inferior multiplat, it's "the lazy developers fault". However, when the 360 gets an inferior port (Although very rare) it's "The power of the PS3". Haha, do you guys realize how much you sound like little spoiled girls.

[Truth4You]

PS3 always gets the inferior version of every multi console game.

Lazy developers just don't want to take the time to work with the challenging PS3 hardware. They're lazy, they're sleazy and they just want a quick buck.

[Lord_Ranos]

Sadly, thats true.

[JonnyBigBoss]

It's true that developers are too lazy to make an adequate PS3 port in many cases, but that isn't the case everytime. There have been a few games that are simply better on the PS3. Burnout Paradise and Batman: Arkham Asylum are 2 of about half a dozen.

[Darkstorn]

It is laziness, since the 360 allows for more mistakes in the code. If they only developed for the PS3 first, thn ported to the 360, it would work out much better for both versions.

[bjornbear]

Unfortunatly its true =/ however, I agree with the above. Not EVERY port is bad.

And actually, the good ports always end up being great games anyway =)

I'm playing Oblivion ATM and I played the 360 version at a friend's and the PS3 version is a whole step up from what i saw on the 360. The graphics, the draw distance, even the loading, its really amazing.

This will eventually change, since it has improved. However, it'll still be a while.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Very true about Oblivion. BUT while the graphics are better on the PS3 version, the PS3 version doesn't have trophy support, or all of the DLC that the 360 has. FFS BETHESDA.

Grid and Dirt are two perfect examples of the PS3 version of the game being just as good as the 360 (Dirt is actually a bit better).

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Maybe because developers actually complain about the PS3 being too hard to develop for?

Also, "BAAAAAAAAAW PS3 FANBOYS BAAAAAAAAW ;______;"

[mastiffchild]

elpresador, mate, don't call people fanvoys when they've lived through some lacklustre efforts from some third party developers. If the 360 had games which had eclipsed the PS3 in terms of exclusives like KZ2, U1 an 2, R&C, DS etc, etc then surely, if this then happened to them, they be saying "WTF?" wouldn't they?

IF GG and ND and Insom can make a PS3 sing what's wrong with the odd multi dev who can't do it? We know it's possible on multis from companies as different as EA(with Fifa and Dead Space)to Eidos/Rocksteady(Arkham Asylum)aand it's well documented just how these people got the good results across two platforms isn't it?

I'm sorry but this kind of thing soes NOT make anyone a fanboy as it isn't an industry secret that the way for a good developer to get the best results AND the best parity between versions is to port from the PS3 and not the other way round. That way we all benefit, no? We might not be devs ourselves but this seems the concencus view from those devs who HAVE achieved the goal of parity AND a good game this gen on the mulits.

With Batman AA so fres in the mind and U2 showing exactly what is possible on PS3 why does it make someone a fanboy to demand that developers at least attempt to get this thing correct? FFS Platinum didn't even bother doing the PS version themselves! I know people are hating on Sega for this but it's Platinums fault for just not wanting to do it as we know the usual result when a games creator doesn't want to havdle the port-esp when they lead on the 360.

Call people what you like but the evidence is overwhelmingly against what you're saying here-it IS lazy not to get the PS3 version as good as the 360 when we've all seen what can be done with the hardware and that's all there is to it. Being a developer means nothing when so much has already been said and proven by devs and their previous efforts. Sheesh. Why should PS3 owners buy a game like this where the dev hasb't tried wen there's so much that's great and exclusive right now? They'll only hurt themselves in the end.

Then again, i thought the demo was crap as in it's DMC lite with tits and attacking hair and possibly Kamiya's laziest work ever, imo, bt maybe the full game is done a disserivece b the demo gameplay-but I doubt it as Famitsu are the BIGGEST Kamiya fangirls in the world.

[WIIIS1]

Not lazy devs. It is a matter of the console being inferior for gaming. Requires big budget and long development time to make games for it. In other words, inefficient.

[frostypants]

@4.9, yeah, well, ask yourself why Microsoft is the one with the laughable exclusive pipeline. You're wrong, but your talking point from 2007 is amusing.

[ultimolu]

That is the biggest load of bull I have ever read from you. The PS3 is an inferior system that can churn out games like Wipeout HD, Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2, Resistance 1, Resistance 2, Uncharted, Uncharted 2...are you seriously kidding me?

Sounds more like you're hating on the PS3 there.

This was a bad port. Has NOTHING to do with this so-called inferiority you just cooked up there.

360 fans have no problems prancing around about multiplatform games but they can't even show a 360 game that compares to a PS3 exclusive.

Unbelievable.

The game isn't the most eye-catching thing anyway but the demo was fun so I'm giving the game a try. I play games, not search them under a magnifying glass.

[jack who]

cry cry teasss moarrrr

[Lord_Ranos]

CRY TROLL CRY

[Homicide]

Yesh, I'm getting the 360 version. It's 2 points better :)

[zerocrossing]

i dont mean to tell you what to do but you should reconsider realy 2 points difference is nothing its most likely a biost reveiw, ever since this console war started you cant trust certain reveiws you should ask arround on non biost gaming forums you will get a much better idea wich version is for you.

[chrisulloa]

Famitsu? Biased? Get your facts straight, they love the PS3 more than anything. Also, if it's 2 pts it's still a good idea to buy the better version if you own both consoles. If you're going to spend 60 bucks, might as well get the best.

[Cheeseknight28]

If the choice is available, why would you not get the superior version? That'd be like if I got Batman on the 360 even though I own a PS3. The PS3 version will always have the maps that the 360 won't get.

[mastiffchild]

Well, if the shortcomings of the port do not outweigh your controller preference or for an online ghame where you mates play-then why bother over tiny differences. Two points out of forty IS a TINY difference BTW.

Seriously, I didn't find the problem to be the quality of Sega's demo port but the game itself. A perfect score for that tosh? Must be a Japanese thing I'm afraid.

[i3eyond the Circle]

It's joker challenge maps...

Challenge mode isn't that fun.

If it was Joker story content that would be a different story.

the joker content isn't anything special.

[chrisulloa]

I agree challenge mode got old, but still I'd get the PS3 version.

[Meus Renaissance]

How the hell does 38/40 equal a "bad port"? Some of you guys need to on STANDBY mode or something

[evrfighter]

for the same reason a 9.3 requires an explanation.

[sirbigam]

People like yu are exactly why they would not care about making an inferior port, respect yurself dam it and they'll respect yu with a good port. Stop excepting inferior ports.

[Light Yagami]

B-b-b-but the cell?

[Anorexorcist]

To justify the Cell's power. But naturally when a certain multiplatform title comes along like Bayonetta that has immaterial differences on the Xbox 360, you come out of your hole and try to build your pathetic fanboy self up by discrediting the PS3.

Anything on your console of choice looking like Uncharted yet? No? It's already been two years, what's the wait???

[ZBlacktt]

B-b-b-but 54% fail rate..... hmm, that sounds bad huh? Hard to play any games with a console that runs that good right?

this game looks like DMC. the way the character jumps then stays in the air while shooting

[Mwaan]

And in my opinion, it blows Devil May Cry out of the water.

[itchy18]

if so, maybe i should let my brother play this demo, maybe he would like it

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Nah. I still think DMCs gameplay is a bit more insane, in terms of combos.

[mastiffchild]

Couldn't disagree more. This is DMC lite and all Kamiya could be bothered doing was add tits and dial up the silly. It's the most phoned in performance by a star director in my recent memory.

It isn't fit to lace Dante's drinks. If Shinji Mikanmi made a complete Resi clone would he be afforded this kind of praise? Cos he wouldn't deserve it for rehashing his old work but Famitsu seem to be rah-rah girls for certain directors these days. Face it this is SO similar to his previous , and better, work on DMC that it defies velief that [people would want it to me. Beyond lazy, imo.

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

You all understand its not ps3 fault. Im getting it on 360

[topdawg122]

Wow 2 points less, it must be so horrible!!/ sarc
You bots are ridiculous, im still gettin this on the ps3, controls are much better for action games

[chrisulloa]

Hey it's still 2 pts

[MajestieBeast]

Ill wait till western reviews famitsu has been giving games 40 left and right and true master pieces low scores like demons souls. Its like the 9s and 10s they give for brutal legend yes i played it. A big name is behind the game and suddenly 10s from every site. From the demo it certainly aint a 10 maybe a 9.

[Raider69]

Brutal legends is 8/10 or a 7.5/10 at best!The game fills unfinished in the technical department!People like myself that get annoying playing games that have slowdows and framerate problems (huge!)are going for a bad trip playing BL!It should be more polish in the technical department.

[HardcoreGamer]

but for it to even score higher than dmc series? thats crazy/ it just means i have to pick this AAA title up. and depending on what the problems / difference the ps3 version has. its gonna be the 360 one./

BUT IM ON THE BOAT STILL DONT KNOW IF IM GOING TO PLUNGE FOR THIS GAME

BUT 40/40 COmon??? theres only like 6 other games with perfects scores right?

[badkolo]

when i played bayonetta it fealt like that john woo game and fealt like a typical 8 game, all that slow mo bullet time crap gets boring fast.

[jakethemuss]

Thus people should not take into account famitsu scores, unless they were raised in japan.

[jetlian]

maybe your thinking about wet not bayonetta. the only time it slows down is when you dodge and counter and the game goes purple

[jakethemuss]

compared to its games, but the ps3 version is rated lower, due to its better games?

[chrisulloa]

No it's rated lower because Sega did a bad port. Lower res textures, shadows aren't as good as 360's, and framerate drops.

[v1c1ous]

POOR PS3 FANS! now how will you enjoy this masterpiece on your 50 inch HDTVs!?

because as everyone knows, owning a ps3 has a mandatory pixel counter machine to rest upon every aspect of a game!

SCREW having 3 frames less per second! this crap won't fly!

/s

[The 1]

Microsoft paid for this review and also built a mind control machine that made everybody see the sub-par PS3 version.

[Anorexorcist]

not this.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

For reals.

[killedinaction9]

you guys know that this is the same guy who made DMC dont you? He moved to Sega.Dont know why he would do that though LOL

i live in Japan and even the hardcore DMC fans are loving Bayonetta.

[jetlian]

could very well be a 10. i'm basing the 10 on being the best beat em up. not in a since that the game is perfect in everyway.

[jack who]

bu u bu bu teh ununUncharted

[patterson]

^^ self ownage lol

[itchy18]

bu bu but teh uncharted! it's an awesome game, didn't you know that? it blows this game away! you must have never played it because you don't have a fckin ps3 because you can't fckin afford it!

[Saaking]

wow, what about Uncharted? It's awesome, we know. Poor bot owned himself. haahaha!

[LukaX23]

Okay, so I'm going to be expecting a game as fun and as immersive as Uncharted 2 even WITHOUT a multiplayer component. Will the people from Famitsu stand by their score if I asked them that? I don't think so.

See people, I use this amazing ability every human being should have, but doesn't. The ability being, common sense.

I'm still getting the game, though.

[jack who]

illl buy a ps3 shiit on it and send it too u

because i need another one for my living room dumbsh*t. thanks in advance

[ZBlacktt]

If you could only afford one that is.

[Shadow Man]

Multiplat are Superior on the Xbox360.
Exclusives are Visually superior on the PS3.

[Nitrowolf2]

well i'm not going to disagree with you or agree, Its kind of been back and forth with the graphics for multiplat. In this case sega did a bad port.

[NecrumSlavery]

Not Arkham or Oblivion or Bioshock or Tales or Star Ocean or Ninja Gaiden or...should I stop?

Those who understand the PS3 make better looking games on the PS3.

[kingdavid]

4 out of 5 of those were ports released about a year later. Fail. Of course its gonna have better graphics.

[OmegaSlayer]

Actually, anyone who is NOT brainwashed has understood that it only depends to devs.
You can't hope to port/convert a game in few weeks, like SEGA has already done with Viking.
You need to build an engine that works with the PS3, that is more complex and blah, blah, blah...

What I think is that every dev that doesn't manage to port well a game from 360 to PS3 should feel ashamed and should hide under a rock because he is not able to work cleverly.

[ZBlacktt]

get a better tv

[Gago]

looks like the graphical and FPS issues are still there in the ps3 version

360 version scored a perfect 10/10

[Nitrowolf2]

you don't know jack, saying this is just ownage. tbh i really don't care much 2 points OMG its the end of the world. wow just 2 points. Also we have seen what the ps3 is already capable of (beginning with MGS4), so don't say the ps3 isn't capable or anything like that bots. OMG bots here you acting like this game is the best game even though its MULTIPLAT.

[Ninji]

Along with their scores they gave GTA4 & Nintendogs.

But you bots have fun hyping up games I can play without a 360.

If it came down to playing a crappy version of a game or buying a 360 to play that same game with a minor difference then I'd stick with the crappy version any day.

[Knightofelemia]

Even if Sega did botch the Ps3 version I don't care the game looks interesting and I want it for my Ps3

[zerocrossing]

if dante was a chick it would have gotten a perfect score dont you see how the scoring method works there's no way this is as bad ass as DMC

[Rmagnus]

in the short demo i tried its already much much better than DMC4. Really hope the fix the port for the NA version

[gravv]

not only visually shadow....
there are two PS3 games that superior in everything compares to 360 games
U2 & LBP, i dont have to put the metascores there

@jack who
these are what i called ownage

U2&LBP > 360 exzclusives, slim crushed 360 in sales, U2 touted as the best graphic in consoles.... and every 10 minutes there are two 360s got rroded

enjoy your life

[chrisulloa]

LOL LBP, if you're five I guess.

[Saaking]

I'll get the 360 version...NOT. haha, you bots brag about those 2 extra points and we'll brag about AAAA PS3 exclusive UC2...hmm, I wonder who looks more pathetic.

[LuHawk22]

LOL sound like a B!tch

[gravv]

still a game for kiddies pawns all the 360 games it terms of scores and game of the year awards, sad isnt it??

go on cry let it out, dont keep it inside

[LONEWOLF231]

Dude i dont CARE what version got the highest score!
If the Japanese PS3 version has English audio,i am Importing it.

[madkrazygames]

oh boy watch all the xbox fanboys come out from under their rocks and make a big deal out of a game they're not going to play until next year. I agree two points is not a big deal, but at the same time, both games should be the same on both systems. It's too late in the consoles cycle for any developer to be having any issues. Bad move Platinum Games, I hope it sells well.

[smturner68]

Here's the REAL alternate reality.

If there were NO 360 version...The ps3boys would be touting how great this new EXCLUSIVE ps3 game is! Then they'd have people saying that the 360 couldn't handle it, and how great the graphics are, and how far above the visuals are above ANY OTHER 360 game.

BUT...IT IS coming out for the 360, and it's gonna be better. Hmmm.

Kinda makes a common sense type of guy wonder. What would have happened if Naughty Dog ported Uncharted 2 over the the 360? Yeah, it'd be on 2 discs...but still...it might LOOK BETTER ON THE 360 too!

Sorry. I couldn't help myself. REally, I am very impressed by the ps3 exclusives. I just think it's more about time, persistence, and talent, than the cell processor.

[njmzhang]

Bayonetta=40/38, Uncharted2=37
WTF?

[chrisulloa]

It's a Japanese game, they're probably more attracted to this than a Western game. Either that's the case, or it's a better game than UC2.

[killedinaction9]

DMC and bayonetta is one of those games where if youre really good then the game goes to a whole different level.

Youve got to see some of the combos these Japanese kids do:)
watch some vids and you'll soon realize youre not playing the same game.

[DonCorneo]

gow3 is epic

and famitsu gave nintendogs a perfect score, too

[madkrazygames]

it's a fun game (the demo was), but a perfect score? I highly doubt it. I find it hard to believe that Bayonetta has a gripping story or anything for that matter, besides the addictive gameplay. You got to remember the Japanese market are very perverted, it would not surprise me one bit they gave this game a perfect score because Bayonetta does some very sexual things in the game, remember these are the same people that gave Nintendogs a 10. Like I said before I'm looking forward to this game, I just hope it sells well so the Western market can see it.

[Bgibbs]

Is this really such a big deal?

[TheDeadMetalhead]

I downloaded the demo from Japan's PSN store, and from what I saw the game played fine. The framerate was locked at 60FPS throughout the whole demo.

Well, if more reviews appear saying the 360 version is better, I'll just get it on 360. Otherwise I'm getting it on PS3 (assuming I even get it at all. Too many other games to get first >.<).

[Stryfeno2]

Nothing is more sweeter than a droid crying a river...CRY DROID, CRY!!!!

[jhoang]

too bad its never happened

[belal]

i know that this game is good, but 40/40 or 38/40 is ridicilous! this game wont get those scores from any other gaming site just wait and see, my guess is 8/10 at best!

[xg-ei8ht]

Honestly people, can't you tell like it is.

I played the PS3 version, there was screen tearing and slowdown in places.

I wasn't really impressed that much tbh.

Maybe not my type of game.

Graphically looks worse then Devil may cry imo, and i never even finished that game, just got boring.

[KazumaKiryu]

Pretty sure famitsu give a lot of games full marks, even the crap ones.

[ndibu]

are only the ones are pro Xbox 360 or/and those that show a Ps3 in a not as great light?
Suddenly now Famitsu is pro X360 bias?? Are you kidding me?
Its all very well and good when Uncharted gets a perfect 10 but heaven forbid an Xbox 360 version of a game score a perfect, 2 points ahead of its Ps3 counterpart!!
Bunch of hypocritical fangirls. Don't be so darn fickle.
^^^if famitsu had given the PS3 the 40 score, then people could take their scores into account right? What kinda retarded nonsense is that? Just cos I wasnt brought up in Japan I shouldn't care wat a respected magazine says about a game? Ignorant!

[NoBias]

PS3 Fanboys will scream "Biased!" any and every chance they get.

Duh.

[spinbot_lv1]

ownage!this game proves that xbox360 has the best version of AAA games.Bayonetta is a clear example of a next gen game with smooth controls,and the best graphics ever seen,look at the graphics,incredible,much better than Uncharted2.this is the GOTY 2009.If only it was an xbox360 exclusive.microsoft buy platinum games

[CID]

and no more.

[Lykon]

with some lesbian slut with her minge hole hanging out like a crack ho. on reflection maybe i will pick up a copy, from the bargain bin in a few months time.

[Master of Unlocking]

"PS3 always gets the inferior version of every multi console game"

I'm surprised to see the number of people who still believe that, which I can only explain by saying that most people on the interweb only read the biased reviews from some US/UK websites, like gametrailers or eurogamer.uk...

The truth is, for EVERY game that's a little better on the xbox360, there is a game that's better on the PS3: that bayonetta game might be a little better on the 360 (and it's clearly not by a long stretch), but dead space is better on the PS3; Turok might have been a little better on the 360, but burnout paradise was better on the PS3; virtua fighter 5 was a little better on the 360 (minus being forced to play with a controller that's completely inadequate for fighting games), but Batman arkham asylum was much, much better on the PS3... it's just the way it's always been in video games, no matter which system is more powerful (remember metal gear solid 2 on the 1st xbox and its jaggies and frame rate drops which were not present on the PS2, a supposedly less capable console?).

That said, who cares. This phenomenon of having slightly inferior PS3 versions has pretty much died off a long time ago, only the odd b-grade game coming out every once and then reminds us of a time since long passed when the PS3 had everything to prove, which is absolutely not the case anymore.

Who was interested in bayonetta anyway? Do all PS3 owners know that the world's most beautiful game Uncharted 2 has just come out only for the PS3? And Demon's souls? Ninja gaiden sigma 2? Soon to be followed by Ratchet & clank a crack in time? Right before we enter the year 2010 and its array of, again, fantastic exclusives (modnation racers, mag, god of war 3, gran turismo 5, heavy rain, resistance 3, killzone 3...)? There are priorities in life, guys ;-)
Get bayonetta later, when it's cheap..

[Counter_ACT]

Doesn't make any difference really, I very much doubt this will effect the sales of either version.

[Veneno]

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't xbox 360 struggle just to tie in sales every month with PS2 in Japan?

[NeoBasch]

lol Paid off by Micro$oft.

Obviously, I'm joking, just in case you couldn't tell. The world we live in these days.

[warriors786]

Bayonetta looks crap, anyway PS3 has god of war 3

[artsaber]

We could all use great games... but I am cautious about this review. I will wait to see collectively what other scores sites can come up with, and balance it out.

[keysy420]

i dont get it its the same game if its that inferior on ps3 why release it the game is the same M$ know this will be a big title in japan and are trying to get buyers

[FF7numbaone]

game was never on my radar but the hype at gt I have seen....But i never gave to much interest in the demo or the videos.

[bobdog626]

But the Truth is . Its not the Dev's fault on these Bad Port's .The game's are made the same and look the same on both system's.I Believe it's the Upscaler in the PS3 that is at Fault here.It would Explain alot if that's the case.If the PS3 upscaler is not as good as the 360 upscaler is then no matter how good the dev port's are the 360 will allway's have the Edge.

[Raoh]

is there a translation to what the reason was for the difference?

[koehler83]

A review score like this from a Japanese mag on the subject of Bayonetta is pretty much entirely due to a national maturity level of 12 years old. Just look at the Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 commercial.

Western Medical Science is the culmination of a pursuit of Viagra. Japanese technology is the culmination of a pursuit of an android love slave.

[Honky Kong]

if famitsu gave the ps3 version less points for not runnibg smoothly then so be it. theya have been the number 1 game magazine in japan longer then most of you have been alive. chill, ps3 is good for some things and the xbox is good for others. enjoy Harry potter while you wait for GT5 and can it. or if you care about japanese games so much play monster hunter tri, a real 10!

[111111]

I am surprised at all the guys saying that they never heard of this game. Must have been all the idiotic mega hype titles taking away all your attention. LOL.

[Lipscomba]

Well, guess I'll pass!

[NeloRisi]

Like DMC4, the PS3 version of Bayonetta will end up selling more. Still, quite frankly, unless the differences are glaring, I dont think most people will care. I'm no technofile, I cant tell the difference between 60 FPS or 50 FPS --> I just like a good game.

[Pheonix03]

Bayonetta will easily be the best action game ever created, and become one of the best games of all time. I've said this for months, and everyone calls me crazy, but at least I've got something to back me up, even if it is a Famitsu review, heh.

[PELVIC THRUST ACTION]

Oh Japan never change.

[KeenanTheSavage]

Obviously. I mean why the hell would somebody want to hoax something as stupid as that? God I could have written this up in 5 minutes. >_>

[CertifiedGamer]

Japanese people know that bayonetta is pushing the 360 to its limits and knows that the ps3 could do so much better so thats why they scored the ps3 lower because while the xbox 360 is using 100% of its power the ps3 is barely using 40% but they are identical.

[DoucheVader]

I have to Sell my PS3 and pickup Xbox 360!

Bayonette scored 2 out of 40 points less on the PS3 then the Xbox! What will I do.

I guess I will just play some more Uncharted. How did that score on Xbox? OH that's right. Not available. Sorry guys.

[ape007]

enjoy uncharted 2 and get bayonetta on 360

[Shmotz]

I'm surprised it got a 40/40, famitsu isnt one to give perfect review scores and Bayonetta(imo) isnt a perfect game for its genre, its good oh yes but DMC3 or God Hand will hold a place in my heart.

[MrPWNS]

Ya'll should all hold hands and cry on each others shoulders about 2 points, lol. PS3 has always played copy-cat with the superior Xbox 360.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Another sweet multi-platform game better on the 360. Nothing new here.

[HDgamer]

Another sad fanboy who doesn't play games. Nothing new here.

[matta]

In my opinion, character design still looks like schijt.

[horndog]

3rd party games for the most part look better on 360. Weve seen it all through out this gen. Just a bunch of crying fanboys who cant acept the truth. Instead of calling developers lazy, why dont we call sony stupid stuborn old farts?? Last gen the ps2 had the same problems. Lots of horses but tough to make use of them, the devs had no choice but to put up with it because ps2 was the undisputed console champion. Games would sell like hotcakes because of the kazillion ps2's that were out there. This gen devs got smarter and said F u to the ps3 and its crappy time/resource consuming architect. Sloppy seconds all the way for sony. Lol. Sony just isnt what it was last gen.
