Octopath Traveler II HD 2D

Octopath Traveler II is bringing back the HD-2D graphical style of the first game. However, with other Square Enix titles having made use of the look and thanks to more experience, the aesthetic has evolved.

Producer Masashi Takahashi and director Keisuke Miyauchi spoke more about this in an interview with Famitsu. We also get to hear the developers talk about the game’s camerawork and character proportions.

Here’s our translation:

Bayonetta 3 Hellena Taylor second response

Hellena Taylor has again weighed in on the voice acting situation with Bayonetta 3, and has now confirmed that she was offered more than $4,000.

Hellena initially said earlier this month that she received “an insulting offer” to voice Bayonetta for the series’ third entry. In the end, she said the final offer was $4,000. However, Bloomberg then reported a few days after that PlatinumGames actually offered Taylor between $3,000 and $4,000 per session for at least five sessions. The outlet noted Taylor asked for a six-figure fee and residuals in response. Taylor was asked for a comment and denied Bloomberg’s report.

Bayonetta 3 frame rate resolution

Bayonetta 3 is finally here on Switch, and Digital Foundry has now explored the game from a technical standpoint, including frame rate and resolution. It unfortunately seems that things are a bit rough in this department, but perhaps PlatinumGames will patch things up with a future update.

Here are the notable tidbits:
