I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, fake/prank.

Jesus, that Switch port begging is real! Hope this does come to Steam, Sega has had a lot of success on the platform so it only makes sense to bring bigger games over.

Once they get a taste of that sweet Steam money, they're going to slap themselves for not getting Bayo on PC sooner.

I don't like hearing about shit like this on April Fools
if its actually true then hype. I only got to play on PS3, I need that real framerate.

Damn you April 1st...I don't know what's real or fake..Hope this is real
If I remember right it's even worse on 360. It's in dire need of a remaster and/or PC release.
Unrelated, but flatness of the Dualshock's shoulders and triggers and the need to access all buttons at the same time made this one of like 3 games I actually prefered the PS3 controller over 360 for. Looked phenomenal, and holds up well too.
One of the best games ever made, and it seems like no other teams learned shit from it. Kind of depressing actually.
That and a pair of Steam achievements is what lead people to the URL. Considering the series proper has no presence on the PC, that's too platform-specific for a multiplatform announcement.

Well we already have Revengeance on PC which is the actual best Platinum character action game but I guess better late than never. Maybe we can mod out the wonky pacing and replace all the boss fights with the one good one.

You mean like they did with these 900k of Valkyria Chronicles which gave us Sonic Lost World ? :")

If this port is true, then the 8bit game itself isn't an April Fools joke, as in the end it's a marketing move or a promotion to the PC port.

Switch or Steam
Either one and I'm absolutely fine with it.

Vanquish' performance on Xbox 360 is fine, for a 30 fps kind of game. Steadily maintains that target and only sporadically dips 'heavily' when you're still supposed to be fighting enemies.
Eventual PC port like Bayonetta 1 (seemingly) would certainly be a blessing, still.

SEGA works in mysterious ways.
The 8-bit game is actually more than two years old. It's something Platinum whipped together to spice up its 404 page.

Well except for the fact that:
Flying sections suck
Underwater combat is meh
Bayonetta 2 relies very heavily on the climax mechanic versus careful acrobatics in the original
I don't think the weapons are quiet as fun to use as the first game's
And probably a couple other things that I can't recall off the top of my head
The first game is better in a lot of ways with a few problems alleviated at a cost in the sequel (QTE scenes suck, the color palette is hazy or has a weird filter, Bayonetta looks better in 2,etc).
There's a lot love in the first game that the second is missing.

You guys, what if they add the ability to load straight in to boss checkpoints like they did for the Revengeance PC port? Fighting Jeanne without having to go through the Space Harrier section...
Never really got this about the second game... I pretty much played without using it just fine and never felt like I spent too much time bludgeoning something without it since I could get my DPS up pretty high.
If anything, the second game was significantly more reliant on witch time than the first game.
(like... you pretty much couldn't break some enemies' defense without the thing)
This may be good or bad depending on whether or not you feel boxed in because you were forced to use witch time. I was personally OK with it because I like the mechanic and felt it was nice to be encouraged to use it more, but I imagine some people would feel annoyed given that it would limit your approach to some enemy types.
Eh, I don't agree with most of what you said. Flying sections are fun, Underwater combat isn't really bothering, Bayonetta 2 is still heavily relying on witch time especially with bosses shortening or cancelling it, and I'd say that weapons are way more diverse than in the first game.
The only problem I have with Bayonetta 2 is the final boss sucking, and the fact that the best boss fight is around mid-game, and not at the very end like Bayonetta 1.
I'd trade the outfits for 1440p, G-Sync and possibly 100+ fps in a heartbeat

an excuse to replay this? okay sure
It's not like the Nintendo outfits are nice in the first place. The Metroid one is kinda cool but the others ones...ugh.

The Nintendo costumes in the Wii U version are cancelled out by how abominably noisy the disc drive is when you play Bayo 1. It sounds like it's trying to eat your disc the whole time 
IIRC, the Xbox One backwards compatibility version is the best way to play Bayo 1 right now, right? But that's still 720p and 60-ish FPS. I can't buy this PC version hard enough.

Yeah, clean IQ and a stable frame rate heavily outweigh cosmetics — things that can be modded in, anyway. Not that they were great to begin with.

That version has lots of nasty drops, too.

You mean just prank, a former Platinum employee confirmed the game was created by them and a faker couldn't fake a page on an official sega.com domain

I'll freaking laugh my ass of if it doesn't mean a PC port. People shouldn't forget were still dealing with Sega here.
They may take our game. But they will never take... Our port begging!

I should boot up the WiiU again for the two games.

If it's Bayo 1 we're probably getting 1080/60 on pc. It's an older game from Platinum. Not really expecting more than that

Didn't the original completely bomb on PS3 though?
