It’s just important that people understand what they’re getting into. That makes this a very pure re-release, sharpening the design without changing it in any way anyone hoping for noticeably updated textures will be disappointed.ĭoing a proper remaster of the game would also likely drive up the cost, with little evidence that it would lead to more sales, so I understand the approach. ![]() Playing Vanquish or Bayonetta in 4K on a console is certainly a treat, but the textures and models themselves haven’t been updated in any way my eye could make out. This new bundle offers the same level of performance for the higher-end consoles, without the PC versions’ ability to unlock the frame rate or resolution for either game, but doesn’t do much else. Both games are rated “very positive” on Steam, with thousands of reviews. Sega brought both Bayonetta and Vanquish to PC in 2017, allowing players with the right hardware to bring the games up to, or past, 4K at 60 fps. It’s just that this upgrade isn’t, in itself, new for hardcore fans who own gaming PCs. This is the most attractive, most approachable way to play either game. That’s a very nice visual upgrade, and after spending a few hours with both games I can report that those numbers aren’t an exaggeration. Sega’s new $39.99 collection includes both games, playable at 60 frames per second in 1080p on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, or at 60 fps in 4K on the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X.

It’s fascinating to go back to the game today and play something that, in many ways, feels like a precursor to Warframe.īayonetta is a third-person brawler from 2009 that also came to PS3 and Xbox 360 first, but was later ported to the Wii U to be sold along with its sequel. ![]() It never found commercial success, but quickly became a cult classic after its launch. It didn’t look like much in still images, with its futuristic powered armor and smoking hero, but it played fast, with an emphasis on speed and aggression that was missing from so many games of its time. Vanquish is a third-person shooter originally released in 2010 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The Bayonetta and Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One may divide some fans, but I’m glad it exists at all.
