Over the weekend, a sequence of movies posted by former Bayonetta voice actor Hellena Taylor accused developer PlatinumGames of providing an “insulting” sum of $4,000USD to reprise the function within the upcoming third entry, Bayonetta 3, though a brand new Bloomberg report (paywall) options claims from sources “aware of the negotiations” which paint a barely completely different image.
As reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, two sources — who requested to stay nameless, although whose claims are supported by documentation seen by each Bloomberg and VGC — say that PlatinumGames was “decided” to have Taylor reprise the function, and wished to safe Taylor for “at the least 5 classes, every paying $3,000 to $4,000 for 4 hours within the studio,” placing the overall fee for the function at a minimal of $15,000.
The report says “Taylor requested for a six-figure sum in addition to residuals on the sport,” which Platinum dismissed earlier than holding auditions for a substitute. Bloomberg’s sources declare that Taylor was provided a cameo within the sport on the similar single-session price (so $3,000 to $4,000), which Taylor declined.
Responding to this differing account of the negotiations, Taylor advised Schreier it was “an absolute lie,” and stated she stood by every thing in her movies.
Taylor’s authentic feedback led to a lot on-line dialogue earlier this week, with Hideki Kamiya commenting on an “attitude of untruth” on Twitter, and the artist who took over voicing the character within the new sport, Jennifer Hale, receiving abusive messages on social media earlier than placing out a brief assertion of her personal.
