Bayonetta on Switch: The Definitive Console Release? 

exactly, it's very impressive technology, being able to play Home Console Quality games on the go is just amazing, if you told me this was gonna be possible oneday a few years ago I would've laughed, but it actually happened and it's awesome

Yoshisaur Munchakoopas TV and Portable mode are beyond PS3.

Matheus Viana No, they’re not. Only docked mode surpasses PS3.

Astounding tech? Lol it's tegra tablet hardware from years ago.

Taken for granted? It's the fastest selling system of all time in the US and already surpassed LTD Wii U sales in less than a year. Quite the opposite, it's a huge success..

Kamiya already disapproves this video.

Cursed image

Nah, she's sexy regardless.

GimmieDatCake "They ain't comin' off!" - Kamiya,

Nintendo should pick up Vanquish and have PG make sequel that's bit longer.

That's actually a better game than Bayonetta anyways, so why not?

Really random game but ok

Knightmayor, not at all, Bayonetta and MGR Revengeance are both from the same Developer Platinum Games.

It'll never happen, but i'd gladly pay too much for it. I'm not a metal gear guy, but Platinum made something special there. I've played through the ps3 game (literally) at least 20 times. With Kojima gone, and Konami being a bunch of fools, i doubt Platinum ever gets that opportunity for a sequel, but i pray to gods i don't know, every night, in hopes it may happen. Here's hoping.

You meant most powerful handheld, we're still waiting on Nintendo's new console. We have two consoles and one handheld this time around. Yay 2018.

Joey Greathouse what are you talking about? This is Nintendo’s main console, which is a hybrid.

If that's true, Nintendo's main console is woefully underpowered and comparable to a handheld. Sad!!! Far cry from the days of Nintendo hardware dominance. No, docking a handheld doesn't turn it into a dedicated home console. Incorrect. Docking laptops are not "hybrid laptop desktop PCs" - they are laptops with a dock. This docking shit is not new. It's old. Docks don't turn products into totally other products. Nope. If TV mode meant home console, the Sony PSP would have been considered a home console. It's not. Never was. Never will be. "Hybrid" is a term made up to confuse consumers like yourself. It's like calling my dick a soda pop. Want a drink?

Joey Greathouse Elegant trolling good sir 8/10. Some areas could use a little improvement. Kinda like the Xbox ones exclusives. Wish Microsoft had more that I can play on my pc

Joey Greathouse No no. You don't understand how the Switch works. (Have you even seen one in person?) The Switch dock doesn't just simply display the system to the TV, it actually offers performance enhancements when docked, hence why it can display higher resolutions than the the system screen for most games. The Tegra X1 chip inside of it is actually underclocked when being played in Handheld mode and it overclocks when being played on the TV. With that technology, it actually makes the Switch a true hybrid system. Plugging a handheld to a TV doesn't make it a hybrid, unless if it offers performance enhancements. The examples you mentioned just simply outputs to the TV. They don't offer any enhancements whatsoever aside from the display being larger. Checkmate.

Absolutely

Can confirm. Switch dethroned the GameCube for me. And now the library has Bayonetta 3, every No More Heroes game, Nier Automata, Persona 5 Royal on top of everything else... just a golden age

If you really think about it.... Everyone without glasses looks strange

Itsjoeyourbro She legitimately looks hotter to me....

Hamtaro - i fully agree, usually didn't find her attractive period since her "sex appeal" is done in such a over the top campy way eh.

Jeanne without glasses is fine. Oh wait.

Cyberdemon Mike of the creator behind the game just loves glasses! I'm mean, think about all the major characters in this game.

Me gusta lo bien que inviertes tu tiempo, Pep

Llevo la justicia videojuerguista a cualquier rincón de Internet.

Que fino hilas amigo Pep, pero tienes razón! Puede dar a entender que esa skin aparece en la nueva versión... la cual tampoco compraré por el drama de tener el primero en digital 😭

Nope. They get updates for language localization only

It got additional languages

Kharlo Pena I would guess most of the complainers don't even own a Switch, let alone have/had plans on buying Bayonetta.

You have a 4k t.v because if now you won't see the visual difference

Gears, halo, COD, bf1 to name a few run at 60fps.... pretty solid....developers choose to got 30fps because console was sold as a 4K machine not a FPS machine it’s all down to that lil bit of marketing that makes developers build games this way if they dropped resolution a tad most if not all would run at solid 60fps... hence why now a lot of games have multiple game modes to try n please everyone.... not that there optimised perfectly all the time...

Gavin Hart those games except Gears run at 60FPS on the base Xbox One, so tell me games that run 30FPS on the base Xbox One and run 60FPS on Xbox One X

Yeah but also 90% titles on switch dont come close to the graphical demanding games on X. The switch is a more powerful 360

You are going to love Bayonetta.

I don't except that. I do however except 1080p in docked mode since the system can do it. I rather them par back some effects on games to achieve that. 720p just doesnt hold up on modern 4k displays. Even with my tv being one of the best at upscaling its still very soft.

arkenfel Nintendo always says for the Switch "Play anytime, anywhere". That for me sounds like a portable console. Unless you carry a mini TV and a car battery so you can play a home console anytime, anywhere

its also a 8 year old game on a 1 year old hardware that only does 720p

salt

Aldin Vejzovic Still looks great, and runs at a very stable 60 FPS. I’d like to see crisis run at 4K max on a ps4 pro, that won’t go well.

Obed Blas I might well do but the language barrier would probably be a bit of an issue.

What are you talking about it is? My local gamestop is having an event for it lol

That's bayonetta 2 which includes a digital download code for the original bayonetta, not a game card.

Yeah Japan are getting their own collectors edition called "Non-Stop Climax Edition" that includes both games physically.

the japan version runs both japanese and english voice over

Not as late as me

@@digital5535 Hold my beer😂

Agreed, it's awesome to see!

also you know it's handheld, so them level of details wouldn't be seen at all in handheld mode at all.

+leFrenchGuy Obviously, we're the spoilt generation. I'm amazed that a hybrid like the Switch can even compete with X1 and PS4. Back in the day, handheld ports would be a seperate thing to the main consoles, with many times totally different graphics and cut-down gameplay. The PS Vita helped to close the gap, but, there were still heavy compromises. Today, we still have compromises with Switch ports, but, the difference in quality is so much closer to the "real deal". I feel there's still a lot of potential for the mobile/tablet/hybrid market to improve once we can solve the challenges of battery-life and heat.

People are just salty that they can’t buy a switch bc they’re too poor

IeFrenchGuy Nope, playing at 45/50 sucks. I'd rather they sacrifice graphics to fix performance every time. Also I don't see anyone asking for 4K on Switch.

And no games

Fuck the Oscars I have like 130 games in my library? Sunset overdrive, Gears, Halo, Cuphead and Forza (Few more) 95% are Multiplat though.

Yeah it has hundreds of games many with 4k patches. Enjoy the 720p blurry resolution while i get a nice sharp 2160p image that is on another planet.

Tru Power of DX12

congratulations on naming all the good exclusives for the xbox since launch lol .. 2017 xbox exclusive releases .. Cuphead and forza 7 ... terrific indeed ..

Bookers Yes, the sony drones love playing all their games in 23fps

It's so bad... it was the first version of it I ever played though so it was really nice when the PC came out with perfect 60fps 4K and all the shadows and AF turned up

not really.

bruh

And unfinished. Platinum games have said it themselves!

If it could run Dark Souls at 60fps I'd agree.

Chance Kimber dark souls remastered is coming. Hope you’ll enjoy it.

My problem is that it's running half the frame rate than any other platform.

Chance Kimber Maybe on 480p 60fps

Chance Kimber Go play Dark Souls on something else then.

You can't its an edited picture by someone. It's not an official costume in the game. 😆

Lmao if you think theres any noticeable lag on xbox bc you'd be dead wrong.

mtoad In that case, why would you ever want to play a fast twitch game with such bad frame drops, all the way to 38fps? At least if this theoretical xbox lag existed, it would be consistent..

And now there's a physical cart of Bayo 1 for $30

dante devilhunter That's backwards compatability. It doesn't run much better than the original.

@Kadu Penuela Yeah, it's still 720p textures... but there are FAR LESS jaggies. Like there is a particular stage where you see a million angels (exaggeration) flying in the very far background. On the 360 those far background angels were a bit blury, on the Xbox X they are clearer to see (less jaggies, less blury). My credit count on the game is close to 9,880,000 bye the way, so I've spent quite a long time with the game, same television, two different systems ;)

@Diabolical Did you pay attention to the 360 comparisons? The Xbox X version clearly stays Much Closer to a nearly locked 60fps.

Yep, sound effects like that are generally meant to make transitions LESS jarring, not more. but hey at least they're trying different stuff.

As a regular watcher, I enjoy it when they try something new, but I'd also like to add with your complaints that having the graph slide in after the scene decreases the amount of information we're getting on the scene, if just ever so slightly.

Really? I found the sounds helped my brain refresh the scene information slightly better and I also much appreciate the shorter fades between -the- transitions.

Gehab Slow.

3wATroCon Some switch games have long load times due to heavy compression to save on cart space. It takes time for the cpu to uncompress these assets.

God PC gamers are insufferable

Leo Stephan Console gamer salt is worse.

it happens real quick which they haven't addressed. you have to press select on your pad to get it into the combo practice mode.

same here, dude. it took me like a week to figure that out bc it just loads too fast lol.

Console gamers tend to not give a shit about PC at all honestly. And even if they do, they seem to universally acknowledge that the PC is more powerful but simply don't care very much. Not much "salt" to be found. I threw down a ridiculous amount of money for a nice PC too man, it doesn't make me special. If anything, it's you who is looking a bit salty. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You still have to judge it as a home console as well, since that's where I do most of my gaming.

Chance Kimber You are in the minority bud.

Try playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in Handheld mode, and come back to me and say that.

Alexander Chilton When asked if used for portability or for home use, 50% of users said the use both means, while around 20% use it as a purely home console. You are, in fact, wrong, bud. If the Switch can barely compare to the Xbox 360 in docked mode than there is a serious problem with the Switch's power.

It's also cheaper than the xb1x and you get to play Bayo 2 and 3.

DeadPhoenix86 yeah that's why i want a video. I only get 50fps on low settings and like 25 on ultra

DeadPhoenix86 lol not really but okay. Ive notices loads of optimization fluctuations during gameplay. they said theyre gonna be patching the game every so often. people are acting like the game is broken for good.... like no... its being worked on as we speak lol

DeadPhoenix86 your loss.

Or its just a weak console and switch owners cant accept it. When nothing logical to say just say "salty" or "stupid" yet you haven't made a counter argument why its a good console. Also its a 8 year old game that cant do 1080p in docked mode. Nothing to praise there

ITS 👏🏼 A 👏🏼 HAND 👏🏼 HELD 👏🏼 Again you’ve clearly never played a switch. 😂😂😂

actually there is not wrong with TAA or FXAA - but as with almost anything, it's the what, it's the how. Borderlands 2 only uses FXAA on PC (unless your force something else), and there are plenty of jagg-free scenes that are also not blurry. However, that is because the developer optimized their game around it and only had it applied to area's that needed it - instead of just turning it on and letting the entire screen turn into Vaseline.

I have been saying this for years. It's why games like MK8 look crispy on Wii U and definitely on Switch at 1080p. People whine about aliasing, but I actually don't mind it and it makes games look sharper. And as gaming slowly moves to even higher resolutions entirely in years to come, AA becomes unnecessary anyway. You don't "need" AA at 4K necessarily. I'd rather have razor sharp edges to some things.

martinaee I’ve been saying the same thing for years too. lol. I absolutely loved Mario Kart 8’s aliasing on Wii U. Same with Splatoon. It really does make them look “crispy.” There’s no other way to explain it. lol.

Yeah that's the problem with such a low resolution. With a Post-AA, they look too blurry, but without it, they look really pixelated. Both approach are legit, but as always, it depends on the art style and assets quality. For Bayonetta specifically, I'd say the no Post-AA approach is the right choice. At least at 900p, Post-AA don't blur as much because the image is sharper to begin with, and the aliasing is less drastic, and on the other hand, having no AA at 900p isn't too bad either because the aliasing isn't as jarring. Anyway what matters the most is the performance, visual consistency, and overall polish.

Me too most of the time, but not always.

BiggsOneTouch those numbers are really fucking good for exclusives

Stupidadi Really??? Out of 80mill?

BiggsOneTouch yes

Most PS4 users are casuals that only play Call of Duty and/or sports games.

sales dont determine qualitiy, just because persons own a PS4 doesnt mean that they supposed to own the games only made in their console

So? I love the way you say that like I lose anything out of getting a higher frame-rate for the game.

Not really I just don't see the logic in being a nitpicker on Valentine's day night. Speaking of which, I actually have something to attend to. You chaps have a good night. :)

True, the 720p resolution isn't acceptable. This is an old 360 game, a console 7 times less powerful than Switch. The Switch can handle this game at 1080p or 900p 60fps

@@retroboy-fh1ji Why would 720 be unacceptable? Bayonetta 1 isn't even a particularly amazing looking game. It was released during the time most games of that console generation lacked vibrancy and various colors. There's no point in throwing in extra resources for a higher resolution when there are cheaper ways of enhancing the visuals. If the primary goal is to sell a classic, sure. But I'm led to believe that people will buy Bayonetta for the same reason people bought it when it was originally released, and that was for how well it plays. It doesn't need to meet visual standards and try to sell on appearance anymore. The fact that it's not looking any worse over time nullifies any complaint on how much better one thinks it should look.

Fabricio Vega that has to be the most ridiculous thing I have heard. 7 times more powerful the god damn Xbox one probably isn’t 7 times more powerful than the Xbox 360 some of y’all make no sense

Except it has more content.

@@Lalapopsy believe the switch version doesn't have mods last time i checked

@@ohioboy1878 And? Mods aren't official content, as well as how they're purely cosmetic.

@@Lalapopsy there's more than just purely cosmetic mods lol.. plus who cares if it isn't official anyway because a shitload of people download and use mods for pretty much every game that can use them

@@ohioboy1878 And? Doesn't make a difference. Mods aren't official. Period. You can't include mods when critiquing a game, because any flaw "cAn jUSt Be MOddEd oUT".

so you had to pay 400 lol

Problem is, creating a small processor that the switch uses is more expensive than a $100 more. If they made it as powerful as a ps4 or xbox one, it would be just as expensive as a one x. The thing already costs $300.

Jack Maher But the majority probably wouldn't have.

@MrMilkey I am by no means a technical expert, so I’m interested in what you have to say. How much more do you think using a current generation Tegra processor would have cost?

Jack Maher A lot. And If Nintendo opted for the so called Tegra X2, Switch wouldn't be released in 2017.

Larry Taylor Performance wise it’s the best but it’s still not portable so the Switch wins.

Christian Young you tied yourself into a pretzel with that comment.

no because its emulated and only 720p 360 graphics, how are you so dense, THERE IS A PC PORT

there are some people, specially action game fans that couldn`t care less about portability. Best version is the PC version followed by the 360 (on XBOX X), period. Bayonetta on switch is the best port for action game casuals.

Yes, but nobody likes to talk about 360 Backcompat running on the X.

Jun Kurosu It's a tablet you used to beat burglars to death with it.

wii u is prototype Nintendo switch in many ways

lol what? Bayonetta 2 costs $50 on Switch, and $22 on Amazon for Wii U. You're already paying 2.5x the price for a simple port.

I got Bayonetta for free on Xbox One

Nerds isn't really a negative statement in my opinion. I think most people will say it is.... Because it it!!

Don't you get both 1 & 2?

N8 Physically yes. Digital you can buy Bayo1 for 30$ and after Bayo 2 for 30$ or Bayo 2 for 50$ and after Bayo 1 for 10$

$30 is full price? Also--I'm playing Bayonetta 3 today 😆 Are you missing out?

@@RhythmGrizz buy the man Bayonetta 2-3

beg the question phrase of beg 1. (of a fact or action) raise a point that has not been dealt with; invite an obvious question. "some definitions of mental illness beg the question of what constitutes normal behaviour" 2. assume the truth of an argument or proposition to be proved, without arguing it. He obviously means the former not the latter. Which begs the question of why you haven't heard it used that way before.

Um, no, the first one is NOT a real definition of the phrase. The actual definition is the second one, and so many people misused it that everyone assumes it means the first one, having no idea of the real definition. Definition To "beg the question" is to put forward an argument whose validity requires that its own conclusion is true. Also called petitio principii, the fallacy is an attempt to support a claim with a premise that itself presupposes the claim.[7] It is an attempt to prove a proposition while simultaneously taking the proposition for granted. Given the single variable C (claim), "begging the question" is an attempt to assert that C => C. In two variables, C (claim) and P (premise), it attempts to pass (C => P) => C as the valid claim P => C.[citation needed] This is a form of circular reasoning, and may involve any number of variables. When the fallacy involves only a single variable, it is sometimes called a hysteron proteron[8][9][10], as in the statement: "Opium induces sleep because it has a soporific quality."[11] This form of the fallacy may not be immediately obvious. Linguistic variations in syntax, sentence structure and literary device may conceal it, as may other factors involved in an argument's delivery. It may take the form of an unstated premise which is essential but not identical to the conclusion, or is "controversial or questionable for the same reasons that typically might lead someone to question the conclusion":[12] ...[S]eldom is anyone going to simply place the conclusion word-for-word into the premises ... Rather, an arguer might use phraseology that conceals the fact that the conclusion is masquerading as a premise. The conclusion is rephrased to look different and is then placed in the premises. - Paul Herrick[13] For example, one can obscure the fallacy by first making a statement in concrete terms, then attempting to pass off an identical statement, delivered in abstract terms, as evidence for the original.[11] One could also "bring forth a proposition expressed in words of Saxon origin, and give as a reason for it the very same proposition stated in words of Norman origin",[14] as here: "To allow every man an unbounded freedom of speech must always be, on the whole, advantageous to the State, for it is highly conducive to the interests of the community that each individual should enjoy a liberty perfectly unlimited of expressing his sentiments."[15] When the fallacy of begging the question is committed in more than one step, some authors dub it circulus in probando (reasoning in a circle)[8][16] or, more commonly, circular reasoning. Begging the question is not considered a formal fallacy (an argument that is defective because it uses an incorrect deductive step). Rather, it is a type of informal fallacy that is logically valid but unpersuasive, in that it fails to prove anything other than what is already assumed.[17][18][19]

Andy Knowles true words spoken. I remember playing gta san andreas when it came out on ps2, i didnt even know at the time that it ran at 20fps lol, yet enjoyed it. Same with first god of war, 35-60 fps.

They said it was disappointing in tv mode. You can take your tin foil hat off, they criticize Nintendo Switch, too.

720p is fine. Fun fact: 720p is HD. Meaning it is enough for the human eye. Disappointing? Yes. But it's not shit as everyone says.

On the handheld screen? Not blurry at all.

AlexfromNorway The Switch is a system that runs on mobile hardware from 2015. It is what it is.

Yoshisaur Munchakoopas wtf?

FP16 does have some uses in rendering, it's just not applicable for everything.

Yeah, wii u might have better numbers on paper in a few areas, but it doesn't necessarily translate to better real world performance.

Wii U is 176 gigaflops.

Zelda BOTW pushed the Wii U to its absolute limits and the framerate was poor, and the handheld Switch mode runs the game at the same res and has better graphics and more stable framerate. The portable Switch still its more powerful than the Wii U itself. Wolfenstein 2 and DOOM are far beyond of qhat a Wii U can handle.

*GIGAFLOPS*

Lol

the ps3 version is a trash fire too

ps3 version has 11-15 fps drops

I wish there was no PS3 version either.
