Bayonetta PS3 is a Mess: Graphics Comparison

Kris Erickson • Oct 9, 2009 • Comments ()

We've been worried about the PS3 version of Bayonetta ever since journalists began grumbling at the GamesCom conference that the framerate stuttered badly in some critical places. We hoped that with some additional polish, Sega could bring the PS3 port up to the level of the Xbox 360 version (Platinum Games designed it with Microsoft's console as the lead platform). However, it looks like fans will be disappointed, as Bayonetta is shaping up to be another sub-standard port in a long list of disappointments. Comparing two live feeds of the game below, it is obvious that the PS3 game suffers from lower-resolution textures than its Xbox 360 counterpart. The game itself may actually be running at a lower resolution, but we will have to wait for the pixel-counters to confirm that. If the framerate also continues to have problems, then the retail release on PS3 will be a total mess.
