Let’s compare first Nintendo Switch footage of the game with its original running on PS3.
Enjoy!"

[FallenAngel1984]

I am disappointed that I won’t get to play another Bayonetta game on a PlayStation console.

On the flipside at least there’s Darksiders 3 to look forward to.

[PigPen]

I wouldn't want to be you. Lol

I'm all set to go. Just give me a preorder date on the Special Edition!

[bouzebbal]

Bayonetta PS3 was the worst version.. 360 looked and performed better.

[Neonridr]

meh, those are the breaks I guess. Nintendo saved the franchise as nobody else wanted to invest the money. We should be thanking Nintendo that these games are even continuing to be made.

[gamer7804]

Well never know that for sure as offers were never made public only what the dev said which is first person marketing speak

[Neonridr]

@gamer7804 - MS or Sony had every opportunity to approach Platinum and offer to help fund a sequel. They didn't, Nintendo did. That's all we have to go by unless someone tells us differently.

[gamer7804]

Microsoft or Sony should have. They made a big mistake but other publishers could have put smaller bids in.

[badz149]

why are we blaming Sony and MS for not helping the IP which didn't sell all that much on the PS3 and 360? it's not even their own IP and both of them were not short of any hardcore 3rd party games last gen. Nintendo were desperate and approached Platinum but even with their aid, Bayo 2 was not a big seller on the Wii U because their fanbase don't care for other games but Nintendo's own! now they are trying to resell it again with close to no improvement on the better selling Switch in the hope to make back the money they've spent on it.

I'm not saying they are bad games but in terms of IP value, it is pretty weak. it's good that Nintendo decided to still support it but I don't think they would care anymore if the next game tank as well

[Prince_TFK]

Well who is stopping you from getting a Switch and play it?

[Heavenly King]

We will have Devil May Cry 5 and God of War.

[FullmetalRoyale]

I was disappointed when Bayo 2 was announced as a Wii U exclusive, more in the fact that nobody else picked it up. Now that I have Nintendo’s latest, I’m looking forward to playing through the first again, then two and three.

[babadivad]

PS3 looks better to me.

[UKRsoldja]

Looks about as expected, considering the Sqitch is only slightly more powerful than the ps3/360..

[EddieNX]

In docked mode it's quite a lot more powerful. And the biggest advantage is its modern architecture and API meaning it's closer to XB1 than it is XB360.

[vergilxx3]

yeah and the custom tegra chip ..oh wait ..

[DrJones]

No, it's much closer to 360 than XOne, still more powerful though

[babadivad]

It's MUCH closer to the 360 than it is to the X1. Even when docked, the X1 is more than 3 times as powerful as the Switch.

[Neonridr]

The Wii U was slightly more powerful than the PS3/360 (GPU wise). Switch is considerably more powerful. Don't kid yourself.

[WickedLester]

It's about 40% more powerful than the Wii U. That's not a tremendous amount. It's essentially a portable Wii U with more RAM.

[Neonridr]

It's somewhere in the ballpark of 50% of an Xbox One. The architecture is much more modern than the old Power PC setup that has been around forever.

[DrJones]

No, it's less than 1/4 of an Xbox One

[babadivad]

It's barely more powerful than the WiiU[when docked]. Undocked, it falls behind the Wii U.

The WiiU is 352GFLOPs
Switch is: Docked: 393GFLOPS / Undocked: 196GFLOPS

Switch does have more memory available for games. And the bandwitch is almost doubled For Wii U 13GBps compared to 25 GBps for the Switch.

So yeah, the Switch is more powerful than the Wii U, but not massively so. It is a mobile though so that's a huge plus.

[G3ng4r]

Docked switch sits at one terraflop. Base xbox 1 has 1.31 terraflops and 360 has .24 terraflops.
Because research is hard.

[babadivad]

@G3ng4r

The Switch is no where near 1TF when docked. It's 393GFLOPS when docked.

"Because research is hard."

Apparently it's too hard for you because you didn't do any.

[G3ng4r]

Nah, I did my research, you're just bad at it.

https://www.gamespot.com/ga...

It was almost the top of the google search, keep up the good work lol.

"The Switch is Nintendo's only console to date that offers a teraFLOP of performance. This makes it 2.8x as graphically powerful as the Wii U before it."

[babadivad]

@G3ng4r

If you actually did any real research you would know by now that the Switch is using the Tegra X1 chip. A down clocked version at that. There have been many die shots confirming this.

http://techinsights.com/abo...

The Tegra X1 chip the switch uses is capable of 512GFLOPs when running at it's max frequency of 1GHz.

But since Nintendo has downclocked the version in the Switch, it maxes out at 768 MHz when docked. That translates to 393GFLOPs compute performance. MAX.
When it's portable, it's 196GFLOPs.

The Switch doesn't come close to 1TF.

Like I mentioned earlier, the WiiU is 352GFLOPs.

Sure the Switch is more powerful and uses a more modern architecture than the Wii U. But it isn't WORLDS stronger. And certainly not 2.8 times more powerful.

The Switches main advantage[and selling point] is it's portability, not it's power.

Lastly, that article you posted was rife with factual errors. But if you'd done any real research, you'd have known that.

Double Post.

[Segata]

Undocked it's more powerful than Wii U which was more powerful than 360. Docked it's about 2.3 times power powerful than Wii U.

[UKRsoldja]

Haha, sure... That's why Rocket League drops to 480p in portable and xenoblade to 368p in portable, yet ps3 played the earlier version of rocket league at 720p and wiiu played xenoblade at 720p and zelda at 720p vs barely 900p on the switch....

Xbox 360 could do better in every game. Let me know when the Switch has anything that looks as good as Halo 4 or Killzone 3...

[Segata]

UKRsoldja

Keep trolling moron.

[UKRsoldja]

Keep trolling? SHOW ME a game on the switch that looks as good as Halo 4. Can't be done, despite its supposed power.

[Neonridr]

@UKRsoldja - show me an Xbox One game as good as BoTW or Mario Odyssey. Can't be done, despite its length of time on the market.

[babadivad]

It's only more powerful than the Wii U when docked.

[babadivad]

[Teflon02]

Why are they always choosing to compare to the inferior versions all of a sudden. I would rather see it stacked up to the Xbox version which was the only good version last Gen or the Wii u version which I'm not even sure how good it runs. Not the ps3 one that was horrible. Same thing I see alot of with yooka laylee people comparing with Xbox one and prerelease issues etc. I know this will be the best version outside pc if a pc version exists but I'd rather see what the upgrade is to the next best not the worse

[Movefasta1993]

It’s on steam and I agree with you, it was a bad on port on ps3

[madforaday]

There were a lot of bad ports on the PS3. The Orange Box was one that really grinded my gears.

[Teflon02]

how bad was orange box? I remember playing TF2 on it but never tried the others

[Fist4achin]

I agree. It's kind of lame to compare a current generation anything to something from the last. If the last generation game looks better, than the developers in charge of the release should be ashamed of themselves...

[Concertoine]

This isnt even an accurate comparison, lets wait til the game comes out.

[TheFallenKeys]

Sony should make a portable PS3 , id rather buy that instead of a switch . Switch is a joke can't compete against the
Cell processor .

[EddieNX]

Funny when the Switch is way more modern and capable than a ps3.

[UKRsoldja]

Ok. Let's see Last of Us, Killzone 3 or GT 6 run on Switch in portable OR even docked...

[badz149]

yeah...it would be an embarrassment if the Switch can't outperform a machine from 11 years ago!

[Jaypi03]

You mean the cell processor that was hard for devs to work with so they ended up making inferior ports, and only Sony's exclusive devs really took advantage of it? Not to mention for whatever reason not allowing backwards compatibility for PS3 game on the PS4 because of that processor being so different from the PS4's.

imo the the cell processor was a gimmick that ended up back firing.

[iN_4G_form]

Yup, that Cell processor; and your opinion of it is of no importance. But what is of importance is the fact that features of PSN, all of PSN's streaming services, the modules of CLEDIS, the 'brain' of AIBO and the AI database that AIBO communicates with to get ideas all utilize the Cell processor.

Should rumors suggest or news break in the next year or two that a new Cell processor is going to be used for PS5, don't be suprised or shocked -- as its time will have finally come.

[Segata]

You want a system far less powerful than the Switch just because it says Sony on it? Makes you a blind fanboy.

[badz149]

hey, Nintendo fanboys are hard at work defending and parading the Switch like its the 2nd coming and that's a system so much weaker than the original Xbone, even, because it says NINTENDO. so are you admitting that all Nintendo fanboys are blind?

[FallenAngel1984]

They already did 6 years ago...it’s called the Vita

[Imalwaysright]

No they didn't. Vita is considerably less powerful than the PS3.

[PigPen]

You're making yourself look stupid.

I have forgotten about the Vita and you ... you. Let it Vita R.I.P with the Wii U.

[FallenAngel1984]

Vita had hardware parity with the PS3

[UKRsoldja]

Lmao. No hardware parity. Vita was slightly above a ps2 in power. It had a 540p screen and still ran sub-native often.. Killzone, Resistance, Wipeout and Uncharted look much worse on it...

[Imalwaysright]

Stop with the BS. It's easy to find videos on the internet to compare both systems. Here is one from Digital Foundry that shows that the Vita is nowhere near close to perform as the PS3 https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[FallenAngel1984]

@ UKR

Yeah there was hardware parity. This was blatantly clear when multiple multiplat titles were released on PS3 & Vita. Some games even features cross play.

@ Imal

Obviously a Vita isn’t as powerful as a PS3 🙄

Way to take something completely literal. Sony themselves stated it wouldn’t be as powerful as a PS3 since “the battery would last five minutes and it would probably set fire to your pants"

https://kotaku.com/5775033/...

However as a handheld it was designed to be a portable PS3 in the same way PSP was designed to be a portable PS2.

[Imalwaysright]

Stop taking things so literal as in everything that comes out of your mo... keyboard shouldn't be taken seriously? Ok then....

[FallenAngel1984]

Cuz it’s basically common sense. When people say GBC was like portable NES, GBA was like a portable SNES, DS was like a portable N64, PSP was like a portable PS2, & 3DS was like a portable GCN/Wii they aren’t saying the handhelds were as powerful as the consoles they’re based on.

They’re saying the handhelds are giving a similar experience as the consoles they’re based on, like the Vita to the PS3.

[marloc_x]

Sony tapped out of Nintendo's arena..

[Takwin]

The Switch seems immune to any graphical comparisons. I have a 1080ti and an overclocked i7 and I still love my Switch. There IS something magical about both Nintendo games and the portability and hybrid nature of the Switch. I only use my PS4 Pro and Switch for exclusives, but that is still a LOT of games!

[Featuring_Dante]

Ah, another game gripped by nintendo, and thus, won't advance technically for a good 5 years at least. Oh well.
Not surprisingly, Bayo2 sold less than Bayo1. Nintendo is really desperate for games eh, i guess watered down ports aren't enough.

[Asuka]

Well I mean when nobody else would actually publish and fund the production for the sequels... it really isn't Nintendo's fault now is it? Putting it that way Nintendo is the only one not holding anything back for this franchise... So sorry you're wrong.

[Featuring_Dante]

Monster Hunter is a prime evidence in a game series that doesn't evolve. Monster Hunter on ps2 looked better than Monster Hunter 4 on 3DS. Monster Hunter World is an evolution the series desperately needed, and it only got it when it ditched nintendo consoles.
Unfortunately, Bayonetta is heading in that direction for who knows how long, considering the series on nintendo hardware sold less than Bayo1 on last gen hardware.

[Segata]

Bayo2 sold about 1 million on a system with 13 million sold. Bayo 1 sold less than 2 million on an install base of 160 million. It actually did better in attach rate.

[marloc_x]

Too much salt is really bad for you..

[chris235]

this game is not worth the time on any console. i am not talking about the horrible ps3 version. it‘s just that the game was not very good.

[Asuka]

The salt is forreal with some of these comments...

[TallonIV]

Yep welcome to n4g, if the game is not coming to Ps4 then there’s automatically something wrong with it lol

[shuvam09]

A game that sold the most on a PlayStation console inspite of being the worst version by a mile is now being locked out similar to Rise of Tomb Raider and Dead Rising...
I don't see anything wrong with that...

[gamer7804]

Should compare it to Xbox 360, the ps3 port was awful

[Einhander1971]

Switch the true beast!!

[badz149]

barely 720p beast!

[toyzombie]

Is this suppose to show how good the Switch is... or how weak it is?

[babadivad]

Not Sure
