Acclaimed hack and slash hits PSN and Xbox Live this December
Sega is ramping up its PR for the critically acclaimed Bayonetta with a demo, which will hit Xbox Live Marketplace and PSN in Europe and America on December 3rd.
The game has received huge critical praise already since its Japanese release, including a 10/10 in Edge and a 40/40 from Japanese gaming bible Famitsu. And the game will be released in Europe during the first week in January.
“Developer PlatinumGames has delivered a true masterpiece,” said Sega European marketing director Gary Knight.
“The recent perfect review scores in such highly respected magazines as Weekly Famitsu and Edge show the sheer quality of this title. We firmly believe that Bayonetta will go on to become one of the all-time benchmarks in action gaming.”

ps3 version worse?
is this correct, i am sure i heard something a month or so ago that the ps3 version was considerably more poor in terms of framerate,graphics etc.
Fantastic Game - Poor Price
The game looks remarkable, brilliant new IP, Poor RRP of 49.99. The industry needs new IP. New IP has been proven this year in the way of UFC and Batman. When publishers market key titles correctly and give retail the right support they seem to do better than others.
The price of RRP's must surely come down this year. We are going into the 5th year of 360, the current financial climate is low and no retailer this year has sold and EA or Activision at full RRP this year inc GAMEstation.
Somewhere in the chain from development to retail someone is being greedy. And at 31.50 + vat we will pay 37.01 for bayonetta. which sega no all retailers cant charge over £39.99 especially for new IP
Cheers for the £3 profit.
So will the industry see games increase this year with the VAT rise. or will publishers lower their RRP's to help the consumer. Then asda can charge £23 for fifa instead of £26 all good.
Make Games cheaper then you we can sell more, then New IP's will survive
