Devs Working To Fix Lengthy Load Times In Bayonetta PS3
BayonettaPerhaps having to wait until next year for Bayonetta is a blessing in disguise for PlayStation 3 owners.
Not only has Sega America said they'd use this time to try to erase the frame rate issues, but now we learn that Platinum Games is also working (on all region's versions) to try to decrease the significant load times. The PS3 version suffers from lengthy load times apparently and according to a reply from the devs over at their official forums, the problem has been recognized and is being addressed. Furthermore, if you scroll down a bit, you'll see another reply from a Sega representative, which reads:
"I can, in fact speak on their behalf in saying that a patch to correct this is under consideration through development to address the matter of the overwhelming load times with Bayonetta. Something I cannot address directly is when this will occur however I will be tracking this directly on all sides (the Japanese, North American and European versions) as to ensure that we know exactly the status of each one."
When a game comes out that is plagued by various technical issues, everyone gets a little annoyed. But North American gamers won't even know about these issues (provided they didn't import) so when January 5 rolls around, we may have a seriously spruced up version of Bayonetta. And if that happens, maybe the 38/40 Famitsu awarded the Japanese version might be considered too low...

this is allot harder on medium than what devil may cry 3 was, and that was not easy.

the only thing disappointing me is the graphics are not that good, DMC4 had better graphics.
besides that its a brilliant game, better than DMC4.
ill take getting the game 3 months early over long loading times any day.
you want to talk long loading times, go to tekken 6.
the campaign mode made me buy it, but it absolutely SUCKS!
10 minutes of video, 2 minutes of playing, 10 minutes of video, 2 minutes of playing.
im sorry i did not realize this is metal gear solid 4.
i want to PLAY my games now WATCH them.
to make matters worse its all in bloody asian!
play on a SD tv and its impossible to read the subtitles.
WTF happened to localization?
that should be illegal, thats pathetic!
if you cant be bothered to switch the audio from asian to english go jump and keep the game for asia only and save me my 110 bucks.
i know reviews said the storyline was crap, but being able to understand whats being said is kinda a necessity!

terrible load times. menus take forever to open. takes away from the continuity of the game. very blurry gameplay. frame-rates are bad. you just cant launch combos effectively, and the gameplay is lost!
this game was suppose to be a great release! alot of gamers were waiting very patiently for it to be released. an absolute shame on the part of the developers and porters to let down ps3 owners, as we are so many in numbers. devil may cry was a great game, and this was it's following.....but the sad part is devil may cry 4 was way better in quality than bayonetta and it was released many years ago. i cant believe platinum would allow this.
if you play video games infrequently, you wont notice. but if you play video games alot, and were a fan of devil may cry, and were patiently anticipating this release of bayonetta, you will be disappointed. again, a real disappointment on part of sega for such a terrible port, and even moreso a real disappointment on part of platinum for allowing it to be released like this. where were the beta testers in all this!
fuck sega......fixing it wont solve shit. you write a port, and then you compile the code. a "fix" is just a patch of code on top of already bad code.
and what about those who already bought the game? we just suppose to put the game down and not play it until the fix is released?
as an old gensis owner, i was so excited to hear sega got the contract for the port. i was glad to hear they are back in the scene. but they let me down. i will never purchase another sega product again. no self-respecting video game company would release a game like this. not at today's standards.
