You should care that it is gimped because it probably didn't have to be that way.

Do not support inferior products as that will just breed more inferior products. While settle for sloppy seconds? Consumers vote with their wallets; why would a company stop making half-assed ports if they know the user base will just bend over and take it? Does the game cost less on PS3? It should if it doesn't already.


It was a xbox 360 game that was ported to the ps3 relatively late in its development cycle. And it shows.

PS3 only owners benefit enormously from developers being able to port games from the x360 with relative ease. Rather than be grateful that the ps3 continues to recieve the volume of support that it does, they continue to get angry at lazy developers/publishers. Meanwhile, they ignore the fact that the last place console this gen is getting an unprecedented amount of great third party games. Way more than the first place console. Shut up and try to realize how good you have it.

When I played through the ps2 version of Resident Evil 4, I never even knew or cared that there was a better version available for the gamecube. I only owned a ps2, what did I care if the graphics and load times are worse? I was just glad I could play the game on the console I had, even if it fell short of the original version.

I'm not trying to start an argument with you or anything, but I must point out a few little details.

#1 Bayonetta on the 360 is $60. On the PS3, it is also $60. On the Gamecube, RE4 was $50. On the PS2, it was $40.

#2 The xbox 360 and PS3 are at least identical in performance. Where the Gamecube was slightly newer, and more powerful than the PS2. The very subtle graphical limitations(and load times) of the PS2 version of RE4, were easier to overlook due to this fact.

#3 as far as content, the PS360 versions of Bayonetta are the same. With RE4 though, the PS2 version came out of the package with enough additional content, that would(by today's standards) amount to a good $10-15 of DLC. Separate ways(2+hour mini game), 2 new costumes, and a new weapon. All unreleased on the Gamecube's RE4.
