Bayonetta Getting A PS3 Patch To Help With Load Times

Published by Dan Furnas on 27 Jan 2010 at 12:56 pm

I’d like to think that Sega read my review of the game and jumped right on fixing the problems, but I know I’m not the only one who had issue with the load times in the PS3 version. It looks like they will be releasing a Japanese patch to the PS3 version of Bayonetta tomorrow that will allow gamers to install the disc to their PS3′s hard drive, ostensibly removing most of the load time issues. Unfortunately, there is no word on a North American patch or whether this will solve some of the lag problems, as well. Depending on how the patch goes, I may have to change my earlier advocacy of the 360 version to a toss-up.
