Bayonetta 3 reviews

Bayonetta 3 is about to make its debut on Switch, and ahead of its launch later this week, the first wave of reviews are starting to come online. Nintendo just lifted the embargo.

Bayonetta 3 follows the previous game on Wii U that released nearly a decade ago. The title still has the over-the-top climax action gameplay the franchise is known for, but introduces some new elements. With the Demon Masquerade ability, Bayonetta can channel the demon linked to her weapon for some action options. The likes of Gomorrah, Malphas, and Phantasmaraneae can be controlled during battle. Viola, a feisty witch in training who fights with a sword and has the demon Cheshire at her side, is also a new addition.

Bayonetta 3 voice acting statement PlatinumGames

PlatinumGames has shared an official statement about the recent voice acting controversy with Bayonetta 3.

The situation has been developing over the last week, but things began after Hellena Taylor – the original voice of Bayonetta – posted a series of videos explaining why she isn’t returning for the third entry. She claimed that she was initially given “an insulting offer” to reprise the role, and this was only bumped up to $4,000 after reaching out to PlatinumGames.

Bayonetta 3 Hellena Taylor negotiations

Bloomberg published a report today on the controversy surrounding the Bayonetta 3 voice acting situation and claims to have details about negotiations between PlatinumGames and Hellena Taylor.

The outlet, having spoken with multiple sources, has heard and saw documents that Platinum offered Taylor between $3,000 and $4,000 per session. At least five sessions were apparently planned. Bloomberg further reports that Taylor asked for a six-figure fee and residuals, and that’s where negotiations fell apart. After that, Platinum sought a new voice actress and eventually hired Jennifer Hale. According to Bloomberg, Taylor was later offered a cameo and would have been paid for a single session, but that did not progress.

Bayonetta 3 Jennifer Hale response voice acting

Jennifer Hale, the new voice of Bayonetta, has issued a statement on Bayonetta 3 in light of the controversial voice acting situation that became a prominent topic over the weekend.

Although she’s under an NDA – meaning what she can say is limited – Hale made it clear in stating she’s in support of “every actor’s right to be paid well”. Additionally, rather than going after PlatinumGames or specific people, she mentioned how Bayonetta 3 “has been created by an entire team of hard-working, dedicated people and I hope everyone will keep an open mind about what they’ve created.” Hale ultimately hopes for people to “resolve their differences in an amicable and respectful way.”

The full statement reads:

Bayonetta 3 Hellena Taylor

Original: Hellena Taylor, the original voice of Bayonetta, has weighed in on why she didn’t return to voice the character for Bayonetta 3. Three separate videos were shared on social media outlining the situation, and it’s clear that Taylor is disappointed with what has transpired.

Jennifer Hale was recently revealed as the new voice of Bayonetta. When director Yusuke Miyata commented on the situation, he explained that “overlapping circumstances made it difficult for Hellena Taylor to reprise her role.” However, this is something that Hale has denied.
