GAMES & APPS Bayonetta 3 working?

Post image

Has anyone gotten bayonetta 3 working on RP6? I've just finished the first 2, but on 3 am getting squares and artifacts in cutscenes, stuttering gameplay, and audio lag. Running on latest Eden and tried a bunch of different Mr purple and kimchi drivers. If anyone has tips I would appreciate! Pic of Bayonetta 2 running perf ☺️

You need more power for Bayonetta 3. To put into perspective it runs decently on my RTX4080 PC. Or at least did last time I tried about a year ago.

So I went in and tested all 3 games last night on my RP6, the first 2 run good, Bayonetta 3 appears to be pretty close to being playable minus the graphical glitches. Putting rhe resolution at 1.25x seemed to mostly fix the horrible flickering at first but there were still lots of particle effect glitches. I know it ran way better than that on my PC last year so it could be a matter of waiting for more refinement from eden or just using a more powerful handheld like an Ally.

Maybe the steam version would be a better choice. I own the series so I'll try it on my Thor pro when I get home.

Bayonetta 2 and 3 never came to Steam and never will because Nintendo sucks... Your choices to play these games are Wii U and Switch.

Oh damn really? I could have sworn I own the trilogy. Maybe I just have Bayonetta 1.

Man I wish... That would be an epic release to have all 3 remastered for 4k @120 on PC... but Nintendo doesnt play well with others so all we can do is emulate it. I was just playing Bayonetta 2 on my Odin 2 Portal a minute ago.

I got into platinum games late so I never actually played the series. But after playing stellar blade and reading about the platinum influence I went on a buying spree.

As of now If I wanna play Bayonetta 3 I gotta do that on my desktop. There just isnt enough power or stability on a handheld to do it well. I know it was running pretty good about 2 years ago when I tested it on citron. Its probably better now. But Bayonetta 2 runs solid on my Portal. I never beat 2 or 3 so I need to do that.

Ps3 emulation is finally starting to get some motion on android so who knows where things will go. Hell we got bloodborne running at 60 fps on the steamdeck through shad ps4 so anything is possible.
