Over the weekend, a series of videos<\/a> posted by former Bayonetta<\/a> voice actor Hellena Taylor accused developer PlatinumGames of offering an “insulting” sum of $4,000USD to reprise the role in the upcoming third entry, Bayonetta 3<\/a>, although a new Bloomberg report<\/a> (paywall) features claims from sources “familiar with the negotiations” which paint a slightly different picture.<\/p>\n

As reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, two sources \u2014 who requested to remain anonymous, though whose claims are supported by documentation seen by both Bloomberg and VGC<\/a> \u2014 say that PlatinumGames was “determined” to have Taylor reprise the role, and wanted to secure Taylor for “at least five sessions, each paying $3,000 to $4,000 for four hours in the studio,” putting the total payment for the role at a minimum of $15,000.<\/p>\n

The report says “Taylor asked for a six-figure sum as well as residuals on the game,” which Platinum dismissed before holding auditions for a replacement. Bloomberg’s sources claim that Taylor was offered a cameo in the game at the same single-session rate (so $3,000 to $4,000), which Taylor declined.<\/p>\n

Responding to this differing account of the negotiations, Taylor told Schreier it was “an absolute lie,” and said she stood by everything in her videos.<\/p>\n

Taylor’s original comments led to much online discussion earlier this week, with Hideki Kamiya commenting on an “attitude of untruth”<\/a> on Twitter, and the artist who took over voicing the character in the new game, Jennifer Hale, receiving abusive messages on social media before putting out a short statement of her own<\/a>.<\/p>\n
