Leaked listings Reveal Vanquish and Bayonetta Coming Soon to PS4 and XB1

If these leaked listings are to be believed, Bayonetta and Vanquish will soon arrive on the PS4 and XB1.

[prankster101]

Bayonetta 3 Multi-Format baby...

[GamesMaster1982]

Really hope so but it wont be right jumping from Bayonetta 1 to 3 without first playing the second.

[jagermaster619]

True I have to play the second one first!

[gamer7804]

yah, i bought a wiiu pretty much just for that game, bought some other nintendo exclusives of course like mario zelda etc, but that was the driving factor.

[indysurfn]

it's been steady on the Nintendo system.

Lets get ready for all the people that said it was not a hard core game or it sucked now all the sudden saying it is a awesome game. This is why I have all game consoles And pc/android to play on.

So I don't miss some of the best gaming there is. For you peeps that have not played it. Just wait.......and you may want to upgrade your sounds system too.

[babadivad]

Emulator.

"Lets get ready for all the people that said it was not a hard core game or it sucked now all the sudden saying it is a awesome game. "

What are you talking about? Last I checked Sony and MS fans were pretty upset about Bayonetta 2 being a wii u exclusive. Since they played the first game, and it was good, naturally they'd want to be able to play the second. I didn't see anyone saying it was a bad game....?

[darthv72]

If true... will these be remasters of the 360 or Ps3 versions? I'm leaning towards the 360 only because the PS3 versions had their issues in comparison and the current x86 designs of the xbo and ps4 should allow for a nice smooth port.

[-Foxtrot]

Maybe Bayonetta 2

...I know...but still...stranger things have happened.

[rainslacker]

It's possible Sega could buy the publishing rights to it for other consoles. They still own the IP. Probably would cost a lot considering NIntendo financed the whole 2nd game though.

[goken]

i wonder how it will work for xbo? since they gave off bayonetta for xbo n 360 just a couple of months ago on Xbox GWG

[naruga]

Bayo 1and 2 would be excellent ...i havent played 1 as it was a bad port on PS3 and i kinda predicted that there will be a remaster-definitive port

[DarXyde]

GamesMaster1982,

You could always, you know, play the second.

[GamesMaster1982]

There is no way in hell I'm buying a Wii U just to play one game. As i'm not a fan of other Nintendo games so too me it would be a waste of money.

[DarXyde]

Gamesmaster1982,

By accepting as much, there isn't much merit in complaining then, is there?

It is a situation you COULD remedy, but have chosen not to. Guess you're not playing the second game then.

[Eiyuuou]

I have a WiiU but I refuse to buy it. I don't support such practices regardless of who does it. Be it Sony, MS or Nintendo.

Bayonetta 2 should have been multiplat.

[DarXyde]

Eiyuuou,

Here.

The argument can be made that Rise of the Tomb Raider or Street Fighter V wouldn't have been made (or at least not for a while) had they not made some type of deal. In the case of Bayonetta, it's simple really: they lost SEGA as a publisher because SEGA decided to scale back on titles they publish. If you cannot secure a third party publisher, you go first party. And if you go first party, unless that first party publisher is VERY generous (spoiler alert:they're not) you should not expect a game to release on multiple platforms. It was a business decision that wasn't borne out of partiality or obstinate developer deals; Platinum literally just needed a partner to make the game. Nintendo answered the call.

So if you're so intent on ignoring it for that reason, and others refuse to buy it accordingly, you cannot complain if the game going forward is exclusive to one platform or it isn't made at all.

[gamer7804]

that would be awesome, i hope so!

[InKnight7s]

Yeah Vanquish deserve better treatment from the industry.

[SuperSonic91]

Yeah Vanquish needs better exposure on PS4

[blackblades]

It needs a sequel.

[Relientk77]

Bayonetta 3 better be on PS4

[Vegamyster]

It's going to depend if Nintendo is funding it like they did with 2.

[MADGameR]

Nintendo is not good for Bayonetta. They are holding that franchise back with the low res PS2 graphics. Sega will make SO much more money if they go multiplat more importantly, on the PS4.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

@MADGameR
Bayonetta 2 was a drastic improvement to Bayonetta.
I owned the X360 version of Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 make that game look dated.

And saying Nintendo is not good with Bayonetta is false.
They included her in Super Smash Bros, She has two version of Amiibos and became popular with Nintendo fans and grew a much larger fanbase with Nintendo.

Nintendo has done more for Bayonetta than Sega.

[Vegamyster]

Bayonetta 2 never would have been made if it wasn't for Nintendo according to Atsushi Inaba, the executive director at Platinum Games. Bayonetta 1 did not sell good enough for Sega to invest in a sequel and obviously neither Microsoft or Sony were interested in picking up the tab, saying Nintendo is not good for the franchise is completely untrue.

[DarXyde]

MADGameR,

What you wrote is pure nonsense. Nintendo is the BEST thing to happen to Bayonetta 2 at least because without Nintendo, there would BE no Bayonetta 2. SEGA didn't want to publish the sequel in accordance with a ramping down of games they published. SEGA had nothing to do with Bayonetta 2.

In principle, exclusivity holds EVERY game's potential back, especially with how similar console architecture is nowadays. Porting games nowadays is cheaper than ever since not nearly as much work must be done.

I find it funny how you talk about its "low res PS2 graphics" when the game looks great and runs better than it did on PS3, despite the Wii U having a pretty lousy CPU. And yes, the original Bayonetta runs better on Wii U than PS3. Obviously, would Bayonetta look and run better on PS4? Definitely yes. And when the original is released on PS4, we'll see exactly that. But the sequel runs better on Wii U than it does on PS4. In fact, one might say that it doesn't run on PS4 at all (hyuck hyuck hyuck).

You're probably trolling, but you sound so ridiculous that it'd be criminal if anyone agreed with you.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

YES!!!!!

Please be true! I never got to play Vanquish because I couldn't get my hands on a physical. I've always wanted to play that game.

[DarXyde]

You'll love it.

As a person who doesn't like shooters much, Vanquish was really that awesome.

[steveo123456]

Recently completed it on PC, its a cracking game totally non stop. Hope you get the same 4k/60 loveliness pc did, cant see why not

[kneon]

Really? I got bored after about 30 minutes and never played it again.

[TheHan]

Sweet

[alb1899]

Very nice if true

[JimmyDM90]

Isn't Bayonetta already playable on XB1 (backwards compatible)? I think they even gave it out free on Games with Gold.

[ForeverTheGoat]

It is

[Silly gameAr]

Is it a remaster though?

[zeal0us]

Yes I've been dying for some Vanquish. Please be real.

[antikbaka]

meh. i don't believe KAmiya can deliver

[Imalwaysright]

RE, RE2, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, DMC, Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 are part of Kamyia's resume. I'm curious as to why you think that?!

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

He didn't work on Bayonetta 2.

[Theknightofnights]

Can we also get a Bayonetta 1+2 for Switch?

I'll have to pick up Vanquish for the PS4. I played the demo on PS3 back in the day and loved it, but when it released it flew under my radar.

[Majin-vegeta]

Well Nintendo did say all Wii u games would be ported over to switch so..

[deafdani]

When did Nintendo say that?

[Majin-vegeta]

Dead-i guess I misread it but I wouldn't doubt it if all wii u exclusives did come over
https://www.google.com/amp/...

[Blu3_Berry]

This is fantastic News. This is probably going to increase the chances for sequels. Cannot Wait!!!

[Silly gameAr]

I still have Vanquish and Bayonetta on PS3. Would probably buy again.

[derkasan]

Great games. Not too sure if the PC port allows it, but seeing Vanquish in 4K would be quite the sight.

[Majin-vegeta]

Hoping for retail release

[Mr_Writer85]

No interested.

A) I bought the PS3 version it was a mess.

B) To add insult to injury the sequel was a dead platform exclusive. Which was basically another fuck you to those of us who bought the game on 360 and PS3.

And before anyone says Nintendo "saved" the game, there is literally no actual evidence that PG approched anyone else but Sega and Nintendo (they were working on a Nintendo exclusive at the time) Nintendo where the second port of call and they said yes.

There is no evidence that Sony, MS, Ubi Soft, Activision or any other publisher refused before Nintendo said yes.

So they took the easy option and spat in the face of those who bought the original.

Rant over /

[-Foxtrot]

I still think it's odd Konami or Kojima Productions never helped them out after Metal Gear Rising worked out for them

[Sgt_Slaughter]

Nintendo saved the game, plain and simple. Sega left it for dead so if you want to get mad at anyone, get mad at them.

If any other company had funded it, we'd say they saved it, so there's no exception here.

[Mr_Writer85]

@stg

No Nintendo took an opportunity, to say they saved it would indicate that literally no one else would publish it.

And yet PG have never said who they approached other than Sega and Nintendo.

You may fall for PR bullshit, but I won't, PG didn't try to keep the game multiformat.

[jstark]

the only fuck you was buying multiplats on ps3

[TheColbertinator]

Vanquish was great

[Fist4achin]

This news was like the opening of a freshly delivered pizza after a long day without grub! They just got more of my money...

[gamer7804]

the leak looks like a dual remaster or ports for a dual pack of bayonetta and vanquish. I hope these are real remasters with better resolution or textures. Would love to see them upgraded for Xbox One X and PS4 Pro.

[inxine]

yessss, both games were awesome, looking forward to this.maybe well get bayonetta 2 in 10 years or so too :)

[Segata]

VanQuish is such a great TPS. More people should play it.

[SR388]

Bayo 2 will never come to anything but Ninty as they financed the whole thing lol bayo 3 Switch exclusive only!... Vanquish needs to come to Switch more so

[Mr_Writer85]

They don't own the IP, Sega do, it's up to Sega what happens to the game.

If Sega want to publish a remaster of 2 there is diddly squat Nintendo can do as they don't own the game.

See Rise of The Tomb Raider, funded by MS, sales of X1 and PC meant SE only had to fund a PS port.

A port costs less than building a game from scratch and takes less time, so Sega could make a tidy little profit with little effort.

[SR388]

How come when Ninty gets 'exclusives' they always port to other consoles but they get get others ??? Lol

[Mr_Writer85]

What? I'm not saying it will, but what I am saying is there are cases with it happening.

Sony don't own NMS so that could go to another console as Sony funded the game but don't own the IP.

[Matrix6]

Hopefully these rumours do come to fruition. Both the Vanquish/Bayonetta and Shenmue1&2 combo packs would be awesome!

[steveo123456]

Steam had a Vanquish/Bayonetta pack for £20 - I had some of that

[galmi]

pls pls pls be true

[DafunkyRebel]

Hell yeah vanquish was the shit, needs a sequel

[Bronxs15]

so everything old IS new again.

[level 360]

Good to hear Bayonetta is back on PS4/XBox ONE.. would be nice to see Bayonetta 2 be outsourced to an indie dev and re-mastered for PS4/XBox ONE.

[Lexreborn2]

I would buy this for Vanquished alone. And if I could get a vanquished 2! Then again I'm going to buy vanquished on PC... screw it id buy it again

[CrimsonWing69]

Oh boy more games from last gen...

[Youngindy21]

But Bayonetta is already on Xbox One through backwards compatibility.

[NotAfanBoyy]

Hell yeah! Bayonetta is amazing and I still need to play Vanquish.
