For their Revengeance port Platinum themselves actually added in checkpoints before the bossfights that you could select from the main menu. Hopefully they'll do the same thing here.

Rising was $30(?) at launch and that was a much more timely port. I would be very surprised if Bayo was $40. Then again maybe Sega will try to capitalize on our frothing demand.
Well Rising was Kojima and Bayo is Sega, doubt the pricing is up to PG.
It was 20$ actually.
But on the other hand, it was a Konami game and not a SEGA one, so that isn't necessarily indicative of Bayo's pricing.
Tho they'd be insane to charge more than 30

I'll gladly play $30 for a competent remaster that does 4k/60 locked without issues.
Holy shit, that would be the best!
It'll be cheap like Valkyria Chronicles.
Well that's a relief. Hope they won't ask Kamiya to sign off on it because I could totally see him demanding that everyone repeatedly play through the Space Harrier section just to get to the best boss fight in the game.
Seriously, that man loves him some Space Harrier.
Valkyria Chronicles was 20$ with a 10-20% launch discount, right?

I'd pay 60 for Bayo+Vanquish.
It must have been around that. I remember getting it for about £12.
I really hate his love of putting dumb shit like this in action games.
You'd think that someone who knows that games in this genre are meant to be played through many times would know better.
I suspect it's not a countdown to announce a game, but to release it

So if the game is releasing when the countdown ends, will there be a way to confirm it through Steam DB or whatever before it's officially revealed/released?
I think so. But SEGA seems to be aware that Bayonetta is a bit more asked for, with the countdown and all, so i could see them pricing it slightly higher.
Nice. Hopefully a PC port can do well enough to warrant a multiplat rerelease on current-gen systems. Bayonetta is a game that deserves to be loved by as many people as possible. And it deserves another chance for PlayStation fans to get a not-shit port.
Too bad the 2nd game will probably never get the same opportunity... Although if I'm being honest, I do think the original is a better game despite its numerous flaws.

Just want to say that Bayo 1 is much much much better than Bayo 2. At least when it comes to depth, replay value and just completely absorbing everything in a game. Bayo 2 sure has its moments and for a casual playthrough it is definitely the tighter game, but man... I was somewhat disappointed by how shallow it felt in the end. Slightly more on topic; I wonder if Platinum themselves will be handling the port or not, hmm... Did they do NieR: Automata in-house?

Honestly all three versions of Bayo are pretty bad. PS3 is the worst, but Wii U and 360 both drop frames like a mofo.
They're also rendering the beautiful Bayo in sub-HD. She deserves better than that.
They did, and it was the first time they offered arbitrary resolution support, so we should be safe on that if they're handling Bayo themselves.
And I read that a lot about Bayo 2, which is very disappointing. I guess the game suffered from not having the original director. And I don't really care about W101, so I can't even look at it from the "at least we got a new IP from Kamiya" angle.

I will pay any amount for a PC port.
I might be the problem with Steam port pricing.

I'm pretty sure the WiiU and 360 run at native 720p regardless of action on screen.

720p no AA in 2017 is just putrid. The game looks terrible.
In the age of 4K I consider 720p sub-HD anyway. It's gotta go.

It's because Nintendo. Ever since the Wii it is all but illegal for a dude bro to be caught dead with a Nintendo system. Breath of the Wild barely a month old and people are salivating over CEMU. Someone mentioned CEMU got Bayonetta 2 as well.
For them, anything but actually purchasing a Nintendo system.

I've got a friend's Wii U that he's lending me because he's in Hong Kong for a year and a half. Bought Bayo 2 and Breath of the Wild for it. When he comes back this summer and takes his Wii U back, I'm going to hold onto those copies and play them via Cemu, and that's fine.
The 360 version on the X1 right now is the best way to play.
