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 reviews roundup

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

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.

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.

Rumor: Details on negotiations between PlatinumGames and Hellena Taylor for Bayonetta 3

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments

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.
