It depends on your standards.
For me, in an complex action game like Bayonetta, anything other than at least 60 locked is bad.
Still loved the game, but I'd never called the fps fine.

Whoa now
How could you be so wrong?
Anarchy Reigns is one of the best games of that generation

Bayo1 plays best on the Xbone via BC but I would prefer PC
It's not awful, it's good enough to not affect the gameplay. I played the game on the highest diffuculty with no issues. 60 and up would be ideal, of course.

How many action games do you like if anything below 60fps locked is bad in your eyes?
Imagine if the image changes in the next few days to Vanquish and Anarchy Reigns though
I'm hyped for this more than Bayonetta one

Yeah, the Rare deal would be the main (if not sole) exception, at least for IP created earlier in the partnership like Banjo and Blast Corps (later Rare-created IP titles like Perfect Dark and Jet Force Gemini appear to have been owned by Rare itself from the beginning). LCU was purely a publishing deal from the word go, as the copyright makes explicit that TT holds the rights to the game itself, so it's not really a comparable example.
I wasn't aware of TLS/Terra Battle, but the copyright is jointly split between Nintendo and Mistwalker, so it might be a somewhat different situation, I dunno.
Anyway, I'm splitting hairs, because most of us can agree that B2 coming to non-Nintendo platforms is not impossible, just very unlikely.
LCU is just a case of a publishing contract expiring. Publishing rights default to the copyright holder after a period of time, typically a few years.

Platinum desperately needs to up their DoF game. It looks terrible in so many of their games, including W101 where it was basically Platinum's Bad Blur: The Game.

Another thread for what? This is not about the 8 bit game.
Technically, the other the other thread pertains to the game. "New news, new thread" and all that.

Depends on context, I'm used to playing action games at 50-60 FPS@3440x1440 ultrawide.
I only just played and finished Red Dead Redemption on ps3 and enjoyed it even if the resolution was yuck and no AA.
If it doesn't happen on PC then I may revisit the PS3 version, especially if most if the slowdown is at the start.
I'm a HUGE DMC fan, and I want to play this but at a decent red and framerate.

Couldn't Sega negotiate Nintendo receiving a cut of PC profits? They probably don't mind receiving an effortless royalty on this
Sure, but Nintendo signing off on any sort of arrangement ultimately depends on how much value it considers Bayonetta 2 to have within the Nintendo ecosystem. For instance, if Nintendo intends to offer Wii U emulation via the Switch at some point, then understandably it'd probably be unwilling to let Bayonetta 2 go elsewhere; conversely, if the game is doomed to be a Wii U exclusive for the foreseeable future, then it agreeing to some sort of compromise or even a purchase is a distinct possibility.

Even in 4k these screenshots look like ass. Good thing it's a masterpiece in motion.

I'm there day one -- even if I won't be able to play it.
I just really want Vanquish on PC.

I appreciate that Bayo 2 can still provide so much entertainment years after it released.
It does have some crappy post proccessing effects, hopefully it will be cleaned up with the PC port. Some textures do benefit quite nicely from 4K, like the textures in the clock tower.

Not sure if anybody said it but the countdown ends on the 11th, which is a Tuesday. Games usually release on Tuesdays.
Just some good for thought?

If Sega thought there was money to be made on the game, wouldn't they have made it in the first place?

They didn't, so they didn't. But now in this hypothetical scenario, they have a chance to publish dual ports of beloved games. A port costs less than finding development, yeah?

Ooooh. That'd be nice.
Yeah, I expect a simultaneous (or near-simultaneous) announcement and release. Following the countdown with an announcement of a release date that's still weeks away would be too theatrical for a belated port.
I was never counting on anything more than Bayo 1, but now I really hoping it's 2 too, just for the delicious drama alone.
This is too specifically about Bayonetta obviously, but I do think them doing a Bayo PC release makes a Vanquish release about 10 times more likely than before. Vanquish was a bigger bomba on console than Bayonetta though. Bayo at least got a sequel and stll has some presence through Smash and such.
Hoping for that. Announcement of the release date would make for a painful wait.

I want to believe.
Maybe there was a patch or something but I definitely remember messing up a few combos due to the erratic hitching.
A game could run at 20fps and if it's good enough I'll still consider it a good game.
Like I said, I loved Bayonetta, I thought it was a fantastic game. But it had a bad framerate by my action game standards. The two don't both have to be the intertwined, a good game could have bad performance, and a bad game could run perfectly. I just think it'd be a better experience with a better framerate.
i think it looks okay, maybe someone can mod out the yellow filter, outside of character designs the art direction is sorta like dmc4

God I'm playing Bayo 1 via Cemu in 4K right now and it's all working almost perfectly aside from shadows missing and sudden framedrops/slowdown which is completely throwing off my timing so I just keep getting hit by stuff. To be fair I had the same issue on Wii U since I was so used to PS3 dodge timing, haha.
Yeah, thirst for definitive PC version is real.

Nah, what it needs is a "join match in progress" feature.
That's what really killed it.

"Please stop talking about a bayo pc port in a thread that's about SEGA teasing a bayo pc port"
Read the thread maybe.
Seems more like you should

Port begging is banned when it's derailling a thread.
This thread is about SEGA teasing something bayonetta related, in a Bayonetta teaser, on Steam, which may be related to a Bayonetta port or even Bayonetta 1+2 port. It may also be anything else. But how's that port begging when the thread is about a possible port ?
This is on the level of people accusing of port begging in the Ni no Kuni II thread when it was announced as a console exclusive.

Lolno for the bolded.
You know what he meant. I don't see why he/she brought it up though, since nobody is talking about that game anymore since a page or so.
Agreed for the rest though.
edit:
Ah yeah, agreed there, and I think it's the case for everyone there. It's just that your original post was a lot more weirdly worded, sorry about that.
