![]() Reporter Jason Schreier, who authored Bloomberg's report, characterized this figure as "fictional (and frankly absurd)."įor context, Sega published the original Bayonetta, before the series changed hands to Nintendo for Bayonetta 2 and Bayonetta 3. Taylor multiple times claimed that the Bayonetta series has brought in $450 million. ![]() Finally, Taylor said she was paid a total of £3,000 ($3,400 USD) for the original Bayonetta and a "little more" for the sequel. The Bloomberg report said Taylor asked for a six-figure fee and residuals to appear in Bayonetta 3. I was just asking for a fair, living wage in line with the value that I bring to this game." Taylor went on to say that she has been made aware of what she described as "ridiculous fictions" about her contract negotiations, including that she asked for $250,000. The "some lines" quote may pertain to the claim from Bloomberg's report that Taylor was offered a cameo role in Bayonetta 3 after she was replaced by Hale. They then offered me a flat fee to voice some lines for 4,000 dollars," Taylor said. I then heard nothing from them for 11 months. He replied saying how much he valued my contribution to the game and how much the fans wanted me to voice the game," she said, adding that Platinum Games offered her an additional $5,000 for a total of $15,000 ![]() "I thought that as a creative, he would understand. In her new Twitter thread, Taylor said she was initially offered $10,000 total to play Bayonetta in the third game, but she deemed it to be too low and wrote a letter to Bayonetta 3 director Hideki Kamiya asking him to pay her what she was worth.

After Taylor's claims went viral, Bloomberg published a report that said Taylor was offered around $15,000, a figure Taylor has since confirmed to be accurate. To quickly recap-Taylor originally said she was offered $4,000 to appear as the voice of Bayonetta in Bayonetta 3, a figure she said was "insulting." Veteran voice actor Jennifer Hale was later hired to voice Bayonetta 3. Now Playing: Bayonetta 3 - Bayonettas Everywhere?! - Nintendo Switch It’s basically the Price is Right, except instead of the right price, she came as close as possible to lying without going over.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's Whether or not Taylor’s reported base deal of $15,000 – $20,000 is good or not, she implied a very different number by omitting a lot of important context. I bought a Virtual Boy on the first day of release.īut Taylor just set back other talent in other games who are trying to get better deals. You can set a clock by me getting played by someone or some company in games. I’ve already spent $20 on Marvel Snap for things that make no gameplay difference to that very free game. Although, to be fair, I get played all the time. Which is why what Taylor did is especially shitty. It’s not a matter of “well, in this world, you’d believe it” so much as having worked in entertainment most of my adult life and seeing people fucked from all angles. I was wrong because I believed someone who sounded upset - which I’m sure she was! - talking about a deal that sounded legal, but awful. So, yes, it’s true she was offered $4,000, but that was only after turning down more money for the main role.īut I was wrong that PlatinumGames were the sole assholes here and not just because it turns out Hellena Taylor is also voicing Phyllis Schlafly in her head. She turned it down and then was later offered a smaller cameo for $4,000. What she actually meant was she was offered at least $15,000, possibly more, to voice the character. When she implied - she denies she implied it, but watch the videos and come the fuck on - she was only offered $4,000 to play Bayonetta, most people thought that meant the entire game. Bayonetta is an iconic character and her voice is an iconic part of said iconic character. ![]() I say “completely” because, as with any part of show business, the world of voice over acting is a labyrinthian maze of pain. RELATED: Bayonetta 3 Is The Nintendo Switch’s First Great Photo Mode That said, I was wrong to completely trust Hellena Taylor. Again, I haven’t played it, so I’ll have to trust people who have. I also respect some of those same fans have felt the new game has done some queer erasure through poor story choices. I respect Bayonetta is an important character for a lot of fans. We need more games that feel like they came from the year 2000. ![]()
