At an event held in Tokyo over the weekend, Sega invited gamers to come and witness the debut of Bayonetta on the PlayStation 3 in all its blurry, stuttering glory.

Up until now, Sega and Platinum have chosen to show off Bayonetta on the Xbox 360, and judging from 1UP's reaction to the title, the reasons why became readily apparent this weekend at the "Feel Bayonetta" event held at the A.I. Tokyo bar. The good news? The PS3 version exists. The bad news?

While the 360 version on display looked crisp and smooth, the PS3 version was very blurry and the frame rate was all over the place. During one portion of the demo, a crazy scene where you are jumping off of falling parts of a giant clock tower, it was often hard to keep track of the action because of the graphical issues on PS3.

Disappointing news, but Platinum still has plenty of time to polish the PS3 version *checks watch* for North America at least, and hey - there's a Japanese demo coming soon. Can the Western version be far behind?

Wow...

This will not end well. I don't know about you all, but I'm grabbing my flame shield.

I'm positive there was some issue with this version of the build. The ones I watched at Cologne were all fine for the PS3 version and were indistinguishable. This game better fix up the PS3 version because it will 100% be the version that sells more.

You forgot to add:

"We asked a Sega of Japan public relations representative about the differences between the two versions, and he said the two would be "the same," but he wasn't able to elaborate on specifics."

I want this game and I don't have access to a 360 so they better not screw this up.

Yeah i can't wait for this game on my 360.

Well, I'm glad I have a 360 lol.

Looks like I'm getting it for the 360.

damn, that sucks. I speak for all Palin loving ps3 owners when I say I hope they sort this out.
