Bayonetta 2
-
There are two variants, one more limited than the other -
Cheers.
I want the one with B1, ain't bothered with the Ultra edition with the book etc.
Who's cheapest on the net for it?オレノナハ エラー ダ -

Praise Tony Abbott. -
I think credit goes to these guys.

I got an electronic mail saying Amazon were looking into it a few minutes ago. They'll get back to me within a few days.
Fucking hell, the special edition is £47."..the pseudo-Left new style.." -
39.99 at Base if you want to take the chance.
I suspect I'll be going digital with this one, assuming eShop prices aren't insane. -
I'm thinking there's a good chance it will be >20gb and I don't want it taking up all my space and taking a day to download."..the pseudo-Left new style.."
-
Ah well. I have a big hdd, super fast broadband, and patience. Plus not having to get off my arse to change games wins out.

I think it's something like 40gb.
B1+b2

I have the dilemma of which to play first - one I've half played already, or shiny new one. I think I'll play in order...
-
Same for me! And I think I'll do the same as well.
Although that's highly likely to be me playing the first parts of 1 again then starting 2 and then probably not completing either until about 2017. -
Lollers, I certainly ain't ruled out that outcome

Fucking frame rate dips.
Patch it motherfuckers."..the pseudo-Left new style.." -
No patch that can fix dat puny WiiU chipset. Optimise that shizzle Platinium - It hasn't gone gold yet afaik.
-
I was never bothered with the unstable framerate on the 360 original, so I'm not too disappointed about this outcome: in fact, the slowdown helped me at many points, much as it does in shmups and the like (an awful analogy, I know).
Will be interesting to see how the original Bayonetta fares on Wii U. It's visually simpler than Bayonetta 2 as well, but I seem to remember it was made in such a way (visually) that it may have been a 360 first party game. -
It was a 360 lead and the PS3 port was handled by Sega, badly.
I think in right in saying the WiiU has a fair bit in common with the 360 but more in every area. I'd be happy with 720@60 with a bit of AA but I'd love some 1080@60 with a few more effects."..the pseudo-Left new style.." -
Can't see there being any AA given the original and 2 don't have it (and Mario Kart 8 doesn't).
And yeah, the PS3 port was done by Nex Entertainment: I remember Digital Foundry saying there was nothing more they could have done to improve on it, just that the game was made to favour 360's architecture more than anything else. As evidenced by the massive changes required to get Ninja Gaiden 2 working on PS3: Sigma 2 was almost a different game in places.
Bee Tribe are helping out with the port on Wii U in tandem with Platinum: Kamiya oversaw every aspect of its development apparently. And Bee Tribe helped out with the development of Vanquish and TW101 so my hopes are up a little now. -
Surely there's enough grunt left over when running a gen7 game at the original framerate and resolution for a bit of AA."..the pseudo-Left new style.."

Send messageFuck Digital Foundry. They epitomise everything that's wrong with gaming at the moment - obsessing over tech specs.
A couple of trusted peeps I know have finished this, and they report no noticeable framerate issues. -
@Curtis - agreed.
Digital Foundry seems to think they exist in a vacuum, but it's more like an arms manufacturer arguing it has nothing to do with war. They're involved in the nonsense and they must know that their analyses are really only ever used by obsessive types for pissing off other obsessive types.
Personally I'd be fine if they actually stuck to stuff like arguing why no-one should spend money on broken games like Skyrim PS3 or Battlefield 4 until they reach a working state. Instead they seem to contribute to the utterly inane atmosphere that somehow is still part modern games discussion."Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness." ― Terry Pratchett -
I can't understand the 1080p.obsession. Ps3 and 360 games look great to me.

Kinda have to agree mate. I remember poor framerate being a cool slo-mo feature when playing games growing up. Especially Perfect Dark, the games being good sort of took over all that stuff.
Also played bayo 1 on 360 then PS3, and that stuff really didn't bother me that much. Just took slightly longer to skip menus/cutscenes etc.
What would suck is that the game wasn't as much fun to play, I worry that they have too many big boss encounters/vehicle segments etc and not enough manic 'arena rooms' with tonnes of enemies to jump between.
And non-stop infinite climax mode needs to be as perfectly balanced as it was last time. -
Agreed about Digital Foundry: while they do good work at what they do (specifically quantitative analysis), the problem is the conclusions formed and the very nature of the work itself are perfect for the fanboy types to make irrational judgements on games (the 1080p 60 debate being one of them).
Richard Leadbetter has emphasised the importance of trade-offs: namely a developer may choose to focus on certain things at the expense of resolution and/or framerate depending on what genre they are working on or what their vision is, which is good, but most people won't be reading the entire articles and will only be looking at the resolution/framerate figures and making judgements solely on that.
Edit: I say good work but it varies: their Vita-2000 review was pants, missing half the hardware updates (they didn't even notice that the screen is now glass rather than cheap plastic for a start) that actually matter, and their smartphone reviews have always not stood up to sites that specialise in that sort of thing, though that's to be expected when a blatant Android fanboy is reviewing their Android and Windows Phone handsets. -
They do provide ammo for bullshit fanboy wars but they also helped me pick a version back when I had all the consoles."..the pseudo-Left new style.."
-
One of the best bits of Guardian Heroes was the frame rate drop when fuck loads of sprites were on screen. So yeah enough of this foundry nonsense.
-
Not meaningless. If it had been an unplayable steaming turd, it'd have got less than 38.
