In Sega’s financial report recently released, the sales figure for their latest action game, Bayonetta, was revealed. Platinum Games’ climax action game rung up 1,100,000 million units worldwide on both platforms the PS3 and Xbox 360 combined. It’s been exactly a month since the game was first released, making the title a success in such little time.
Bayonetta was recently patched to alleviate loading times on the PS3 version of the game. The 135MB patch allows you to install 4.5GB of data to your PS3 hard drive to significantly improve load times significantly and reduce screen tearing as well. It turns out that patch was not created by Sega or Platinum Games, and was instead put together by Sony themselves.
Bayonetta has a serious loading problem on the PS3, as we mentioned on our review. Tomorrow, a new patch will go live allowing PS3 users to install game data to their hard drive, which should dramatically reduce the lengthy load times in the game. The installation of game data will be optional, so those of you running out of space on your console can continue to play the game as is.
With the holidays just gone by, you are probably looking forward to this year’s games line-up with what little cash you have left. 2010 has started off with a great new title from Hideki Kiyama: Bayonetta. Bayonetta kicks off by introducing the player to the world of the female protagonist via a prologue. You are thrown straight into the action to partake in a mini action sequence where you will find yourself taking on various enemies while plummeting through the sky on a piece of debris.
Bayonetta is a stylish and cinematic action game, directed by Hideki Kamiya. A witch with powers beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, Bayonetta faces-off against countless angelic enemies, many reaching epic proportions, in a game of 100% pure, unadulterated all-out action.
