Even the superior 360 version of Bayonetta 1 falls short of Bayonetta 2 graphically. The Wii U game has bigger scale, a cleaner image, no screen tearing from any reports I've read, better particles and effects...

Cleaner is arguable since there's lots of aliasing and shimmering.

Honestly, looks like a good PS3/360 game. A natural evolution of a game from its predecessor.

The WIIU is a powerhouse… zzzzzzzzzzzzzz…..

Wow, it looks no better from a technical perspective.

Considering the PS3 came out an entire console generation before the Wii U, and the first Bayonetta came out over 4 years ago, that's beyond pathetic.

Perhaps the Wii U is even weaker than we initially thought?

The reason for this comparison was two fold:

#1 The PS3 was the most powerful console last gen and #2 everyone says that the Wii U is barely more powerful than the PS3.

So they're making an example of how the Wii U can "blow the PS3 out of the water" when comparing two similar games. Problem being: the PS3 version of Bayonetta was a shitty, muddy looking port made by a completely different studio.

People can't talk about the 360 version (i.e. definitive version by a landslide) in this comparison because the 360, on paper, was weaker than the PS3.

Let's not talk about how Arkham City/Origins, ME3, Splinter Cell Blacklist, etc......games that are on an even playing field between the PS3 and WiiU (not comparing a port of a game to a sequel (which 9 times out of 10 look way better than the original) of said game, made by the original studio) have their best versions on the PS3. Even when they rebooted Goldeneye specifically for the Wii, and then made 007 Legends, which is built around that same Wii engine.....the PS3 version is better than the WiiU version (even though it's really moot since that game was terrible, period).

The thing is, though, that the PS3 was much more difficult to develop for than the 360 because of its use of the Cell processor, so multiplatform games ran better on the 360 than on the PS3 because they were coded better (at least, they ran better for the first part of the generation, I'm not sure if devs have gotten used to the Cell enough to close the gap). Neither Bayonetta 1 on 360 nor Bayonetta 2 on Wii U have this problem, so it makes more sense to compare those two versions.

Well, it's Bayonetta TWO. Two is like 100% more than One. Can't argue with the maths. Bayonetta 2 is 100% better.

You're supposed to be 'Murican!

OT: Too many colours.

What Bayonetta could use improvement on is not the visuals, but the story. God, I have never been so confused trying to follow the story in a game.

From the words of Yahtzee Croshaw:
"I strongly advise not trying to follow the story on your first runthrough. There are some things for which the human mind just isn't equipped. Bayonetta was found at the bottom of a river twenty years ago and now works with demons from hell to kill angels, who are apparently evil because they keep attacking Bayonetta because she keeps attacking them. The baddies, or possibly the goodies, are trying to resurrect some big evil god thing, which is linked to some ancient clan of witches and rival clan of sages and some associated evil corporation who presumably felt a bit left out. And there's this guy in a Harry Potter scarf who wants to either kill Bayonetta or bone her silly. And there's this little girl who's either Bayonetta's daughter or a younger version of herself AAAARGH! Sometimes I miss the old Pac-Man storytelling method: eat pills, avoid ghosts"

Have you played the first game? It had that plus blurriness plus screen tearing.

Everyone knows the 360 version ran a shit ton better :P Hence i called the PS3 version a shitty port. Either way I have little doubt both the PS3 and 360 could run Bayonetta 2 stably at 720p (like the 360 did the first). In the over 4 years since the original released there have been plenty of games i'd consider more technically demanding. Bayonetta 2 does have huge amounts of action, but the game itself has relatively mid-tier visuals (except for the AA which is just plain awful at times).

Neither could run it at 1080p like the WiiU, but 720p sure.

I'm pretty sure some of the larger backdrops during hectic setpieces would demand more than the PS3/360's <500MB of RAM.

Both bayonetta 1 and 2 were at 720p with no anti aliasing applied to boot. I'm not sure about your eyes but their both look blurry as hell to me.
