A while ago, Bayonetta's PS3 port was shown. It did not look good, and fanboys all around the Internet(but thankfully, not many Giantbombers) didn't hesitate to call Team Little Angels "lazy", "horrible" and "incompetent". As it turns out, Platinum Games aren't porting the game -- SEGA are. 
 
The issues will hopefully be ironed out before the game's release(if not for the Japanese one, then perhaps for the Western one), but if they aren't, Platinum Games aren't the ones you should hate. SEGA are(Well, you really shouldn't hate anyone. Love and peace dude, love and peace!).

Wonder why companies like Valve and Platinum let their parent companies do the porting for them.

Sega need to get their arse in gear.

If the PS3 version is no good, I will be seriously annoyed. I really don't care which company is technically responsible for porting it. Its just lazy and unacceptable at this stage in this generation's console lifespan if big companies can't handle multiple versions. Its not like there aren't a ton of older multiplatform games that look fantastic on both systems.

Oh well if the PS3 port turns out arse I'll just get the other version.

It's odd for a Japanese developer to focus on the 360, specially when you consider what kind of game Bayonetta is (mad Japanese). Are they putting all their eggs in the Western market's baskets? I hope not, because I don't think Bayonetta is gonna sell well in the West.

" @AgentJ: Because they'd rather spend the time and effort required for porting(especially when it comes to the PS3, which is the hardest console to port to) on the actual game. If I was a developer and had the option to either spend a couple of months porting, or spend those months working on and polishing gameplay, art, music etc. I know what I'd choose. And it's not the porting.  "

Wow, I didn't even know this was happening. I'm getting the 360 version anyway, but that really sucks for PS3 owners... hopefully it will turn out good!

I hear the PS3 is hard to program for.

OH ps3 and your unconventional architecture making it hard to do a port job on.
 
You would think they would start on the ps3 and then port to the much simpler 360.
 
Not the other way around

Except the people who do the gameplay, art, music, etc. are not involved in porting anyway. Porting is something the coders do. So you need more coders and QA, but that higher-level stuff is not affected. Porting to the PS3 is not the smart way to develop anyway. It's much easier to start on PS3 and port to Xbox 360 according to several developers I've heard from. "

PG seem to be making every attempt to distance themselves for the PS3 port.., 
 
From the PS3 Demo: 
 

I don't see much of a difference, except that someone didn't crank up the material shaders on the ps3 version.

They look pretty much the same. So, that's the damn problem.

The "problem" was blogs like Kotaku learning that the PS3 version supposedly looked so much worse than the 360 version based on hearsay and then ran with it, fueling the fire.  Of course, the disparity is hardly noticeable in reality and should only matter if you're just that anal about your graphics. "

I had no problem with the PS3 demo so I don't understand what all the talk about frame rate drops came from. Both run equally smooth.

i have a bad feeling about this

" So because Paltinum didnt want to take the effort and money to get it the same, we shouldnt blame them? than who should we blame? SONY? SEGA? All Platinum did was throw sega under the bus and use them as a scapegoat. I realize that they dont have alot of money, but they should still try to get them the same so there not doing a disservice to one of their fanbases. "

" If they wanted it to be cheaper, they shoudl have devloped on PS3 first. Much easier compared to doing it on 360 first, than going to PS3. I really have no sympathy for them. "

" @eckster: well than, thats horse shit. Are all multiplatform releases like this, or is this a rare case? I was under the impression they made great strides since 2007. "
