GameSpot just put-up their Bayonetta Video Review... and yes, they say the PS3 version aint as gewd as well... and yes, the dude Lark Anderson is a poor reviewer, sounding like a gay robot reading from a script:

That's rather harsh to criticize his speaking voice. He can't help how he sounds.
 
I don't get what all of the fuss is. Sure, the PS3 version is apparently obviously slower than the 360 version. That seems to be universally accepted at this point. However, even the PS3 version is scoring in the 8 to 9 point range. Last time I checked that was a pretty damned good game.

Well, considering that they are going to have to go out and buy the game today I'm guessing we won't get a written review for a couple of days and a video review before next week.
 
As for reviewer personality I love Gregg Miller and cannot stand Ryan Clements. That only speaks to them talking in person. Often times when reading a review I can't tell the difference between who wrote it. Most likely due to the editing process. So, to each his own I suppose.

I don't know if it was asked, but if you only have the PS3, is it still playable?
 
I have both, but I'm just curious.

I watched that video and yes I can see where it's slower, but it's by no means "chugging" in the game like you people seem to be describing. I don't really see the problem with the graphics. I like the PS3 for not being as sharp for some reason. Both games seem to have about the same lighting too.
As for the frame rate, I don't really see a problem in the video except for maybe one spot but I only noticed that because I was looking at both games at the same time. As for load times, I could really care less. As long as the game works and the loads aren't  like Sonic 06' load times I can take them. HelI beat Persona 4 like 3 times and that game had a shit load of load times.
 
Has anyone here played both versions completely and can give us a good answer as to if this really is as be as a problem that everyone is making it out to be? All I have is a PS3 and I will not shell out money to get a 360.
 
And if people complain enough, Sony will most likely release a patch. Or you could just go and buy the Japanese version, which plays on a U.S. PS3, since it does still has English voice acting, and that version defaults to English too.

Well, the Giant Bomb reviews are up and the PS3 version got an entire star lower. I think that is the final proof that there is something noticeably wrong with the PS3 port.

Well, 3/5 is a good score. However, the fact that it is an entire star lower than the 360 and Ryan shares the basic opinions of the Gamespot and IGN reviews it's pretty much unanimous that the PS3 version is inferior. However, it's still a perfectly playable and fun game.

So far the only noticeable frame rate drop for me was the the very beginning of the game, where you have like 15 angels and are falling off a clock happening at the same time. Everywhere else has been just fine. Human don't really notice the difference between 60 fps and 30 - 45 fps. It's only when it gets down to the 20 fps do you really see something. 
 
People really are blowing this way out of proportion. The game is still fun and it still works. The load times for the pause screen and items is kinda strange though. But it's only like 4-6 seconds at worst.

I am still going to buy it anyway, in hopes that Platinum will make Godhand 2.

Wow all the bitching about the frame rate. I've been playing the game on my PS3 and I have yet to have any frame rate issue that hinder my ability to play the game. The only thing that grinds my gears is the loading. Also the visual quality is a little bit 2007. Anybody notice how the canopy on the trees just spin when you look up at them and rotate the camera?

 i got bayonetta for ps3 and beat it. i freaking love the game! it's just annoying as hell to pause, skip cut-scenes, change weapon sets, and use/equip items because they all require loading. and it totally screws up the fast pace of the game. if they could at least fix these problems, I'd be happy even if it's still not as good as the 360 version

So, I just played it at my girlfriend's on her PS3 and got all the way to the beginning of Chapter 2. I never really noticed any huge slowdown apart from the beginning where you're fighting angels as shit falls down and whatever load times I had to come across I dealt with. The load between menus or when you pick up an item is only like, a second, so I don't really care. 
 
What I would like to know is for anyone that's beat it or something, if there honestly is parts later on where the game's framerate drops considerably. I know the craziest shit happens later on and if the game takes a serious hit then I will get it on 360. I just don't want to because I hate playing multiplatform games on that system and I would very much care for all my progress and trophies to be on the system I play the most, not my rides-the-short-bus quality bastard son of a console that is my Xbox :<

Ryan Davis: "  Let me be totally clear here: if you have the option between the two consoles, consider the PlayStation 3 version to be nonexistent. If the PS3 is your only option, well, proceed with significant caution, or hitch your hopes on the notion that Sega might, someday, release a patch to address these issues." "

" @Sleepy_Insomniac: I've watched videos of the Sapientia fight.... I wasn't very impressed at all. And that's not even one of the crazier ones. "
