The much awaited patch that fixes the horrible load times for Bayonetta is finally out in Japan and PAL region. By downloading the 135MB patch you will have an ability to install the game’s data on the hard drive. Make sure you have at least 4.5GB of space in the hard drive and it should take around five minutes to install.
Once completed one of the things you will notice are:
– Instead of 2-4 second load times when you picked up an item, it doesn’t say LOADING anymore. It picks up the notes that you get right away.
– Screen tearing issue is slightly reduced
There you have it folks. With this patch, I can say that the PS3 version can go head to head with the XBOX 360 version of Bayonetta. No word yet when the patch will be released for North America but I’m guessing sometime today!

are people so stupid these days?
when ever you pick up an item such as witches ingredients previously, it will not have a loading time!
You’ll only get loading screen when you pick up broken hearts, moon pearl and diaries! (even though you picked them up before)
and the screen tearing is not even a big issue! It’s just a dumb line at the top, not even as bad as Resident Evil 5’s screen tearing.
We need cutscene graphics fixed and loading time reduces (although loading time isn’t my problem because I can keep practising.
and fix the Start menu!

January 28, 2010 at 3:04 PMGreatly imporved gameplay? So your saying this patch fixed the horrible low res texture work, screen tearing and the game now runs at 60fps. No it doesn’t do that? Then how exactly can it go head to head with the 360 ver? Look huge props to Sony for doing right by their fans (like always)but I really still want to see this game tank hard. Platinum deserves to go out of business for this clear lack of judgement on their part.

“…I can say that the PS3 version can go head to head with the XBOX 360 version of Bayonetta”
In your dreams I think…. 10% of issues does not parity make, Padawan.
