I'm LOVING this new Capcom cross-platform synergy!

Does this mean after I make Hitler's head asplode I will get the opportunity to photograph it erotically?

@Mike Fahey: That is not good enough. The only thing we accept here is if you were drunk. Now, have you or have you not been drinking? Answer honestly, we have ways to see if you lie.

@Mike Fahey: CONFIRMED! Don King video game encourages senseless Spellchecker/Clippy the Paperclip murder!

@Mike Fahey: It was just a minor grammar error... Happens to everyone. *pat*

@Chippy180: You mean 'their' post, right? Oh the irony...

Is that Matt LeBlanc giving me orders? I'd never follow Joey into battle.

@KillerBee:

I was sort of hoping someone would've flamed you for your obvious troll by now, but maybe im just an evil cynic like that.

Anywho, yah, thats kinda lame that they changed it to M. I mean, im pretty sure that even HD its not gonna scar any kid. Sure as hell didnt me.

willy626

AND IN MY DEFENSE.....of is spelled correctly.

Mike Fahey

Now that it's rated "M" can we put Hitler back in the game Capcom?

-EDGE-

@jesp3r: Sorry, Don King killed the spellchecker. Fixing that.

Mike Fahey

Anyone heard any grumblings about this game coming to the PSP in the future?

Rodent

@Chippy180: Last time I checked, of is a word. Spell check would have done nothing.

male roof blower

ESRB is full of lulz.

Project Thanatos

i think it's important for all children ages 5 and up to be able to blow up Hitler's head this game should be rated E... otherwise the Nazi's won

Godluvsugly

@TaggarT6: non-nonsensical? Does that make it sensical?

male roof blower

Lol,somebody never spell checked there posttttttt!
'...for Xbox Live Arcade of PlayStation 3!'

KeroseneClimax

Well I am happy to see nothing was changed to bring it to PSN and Xbox Live. I am looking forward to playing this game again to see if the game still is fun or not.

BlackIceJoe

Wow. That's hardcore.

ekstrapiksels

Wasn't it reported a while back that the ESRB reviewing system was severely broken and non-nonsensical.

TaggarT6

@DARTH_TIGRIS: there was no ratings then. They edit rereleases all the time because of this.

Grumps

The "Xbox Live Arcade of PlayStation 3".

I'd like that.

jesp3r

I'm really excited for this game. The original was awesome and this looks even better. Updated classics FTW!

arepeegee

They should have made everyone Legos and made you fight non-descript evil forces.

male roof blower

That's ....... strange. What did they CHANGE to get an M rating????? It can't be because of the head explosion alone, can it?

This is a very, very strange decision. Game should be rated E or T. If I was able to play it as a kid, so should the kids today.

Well, that's my opinion anyway.

DARTH_TIGRIS

Is this the first "M" rated game available by download? I'm not aware of any others...

StupidityTries

Heh, clever. Can't wait to make Hitler's head asplode.

GundamAC197: Proud new Wii60 Owner!

HEAD EXPLOSION CONFIRMED!!!!!!

Mr.SithNinja

....for mediocre?

KillerBee

Exploding Hitler's head FTW.

@StupidityTries: There's also "Cash, Guns, Chaos", and nearly everything on Steam...

bobtheduck

@Mav: Yeah, what the hell was that?

Anyway, that video was awesome.

mind in rewind

@male roof blower:

Whoops! I put one too many nons in my comment. Dang, that means I've reached my non quota for the week. :(

TaggarT6

1 head explosion is enough to get an M rating?

AzureDrag0n1

Haaaaaaal! He's.... he's gone.....

JorgieX

Hey! Someone put blood in my violence!

Pinhead

What did I just vote for at the end, there?

Mav

@Chippy180: I think Fahey forgot to use the context checker, since 'of' is spelled correctly but used incorrectly. You, on the other hand, forgot to use your homonym checker. It would've told you that 'there' and 'their' sound the same, but have different meanings...

As for Bionic Commando: Rearmed, I'm hoping that the new, M-rated build includes more of the blood and guts and nudities that we the gamers crave to the very depths of our black and twisted souls. I also hope that they include some sweet, sweet Mike Patton voice-work to get us all stoked for the new Bionic Commando game!

RubyMars

Advance with Caution...

@KillerBee: hmmmmmm. i smell flame-bait, so i will pass go and collect $200

zanzibarlegend

This is an unfortunate by-product of the world of gaming today.

Back in the day, when games were still considered to be "for kids", even really violent and adult-oriented games were A-OK as far as anyone cared.

Today, with a rating system in place (which is a good thing, as it allows games like GTA to be released without reasonable people thinking they shouldn't be released, alot of the games we enjoyed as kids are now thought of as not-suitable.

If I was a parent, I'd let my kids play most of the M-Rated games I play. But it's up to the parent. And alot of kids will miss out on an awesome game because of this rating.

But as I said, it's just an unfortunate by-product of an otherwise good system we have in place today.

(My main beef with the ESRB is that Zelda games get T ratings nowadays. You can't sit here and tell me that Twilight Princess is anything but kid friendly.)

@KillerBee: Don't be hasty. Proceed with Caution.

@i_am_not: Hitler's graphic exploding head? Haha, I remember when I first saw it... It's true, for game players, violence was like Porn... Sneaking to friend's houses to play MKII, feeling a rush playing wolfenstein on an old 486... Ah, good times.

bobtheduck

@jackal888:

Thanks for the reponse.

Hopefully if they do they'll follow the Patapon pricing and release it for $19.

Wishful thinking I know.

Rodent

Well, when I play it, people better bleed. Alot. Like epic amounts.

enigma89

Strange. I don't remember anything REALLY not suitable for kids in this game.

i_am_not

@KillerBee: Get out of here you nerd!

Erwin

@KeroseneClimax: Wow they gave Marathon on XBLA an M rating? I own the game and never noticed this somehow. On what criteria I wonder? I mean even with the HD "upgrade" (I always play with the original GFX), the worst thing is probably the b.o.b.s exploding/dying, and I've seen things on that level in T rated games before, IMO.

DaiMacculate

Exploding Head Hitler, woohoo!

KoolAidMan

Say what? Huh? But it's... a platformer. Is Metal Slug also M?

Huh, works for me anyway. I guess it better not be censored or visibly altered then. I am looking forward to it even if the overhead shots I saw reminded me of... Ikari Warriors *shudder*.

fuchikoma

I've been keeping up with the bionic commando podcast and they mentioned rearmed getting rated M in episode 12 I believe. Anyway, the game's producer comments that the reason why Rearmed is getting rated M is because the head explosion is supposed to last for 30 long, juicy, slow motion seconds. It's supposed to be quite gory.

GunSavior

I've been keeping up with this game for awhile. Listening to their podcast; fan of the original etc. In the last podcast they bring this up. And the ONLY reason why this game is getting rated M is because the head explosion at the end of the game is supposed to last for 30 long, juicy, slow motion seconds. I imagine angels are supposed to sing too.

GunSavior

I believe that the Metal Slugs are usually rated T.

Vexorg

No Spoiler Alert!? Jerk...

Pezdispenser

@DARTH_TIGRIS:

Yeah because the fact they had no ratings back then must mean it's not an M now with upgraded graphics.

chiefpoopingpants

Wow. An exploding Hitler head? I'd buy it.

KM91

@GunSavior: BC:Rearmed 'Sploding Hitler Head = 30 seconds?

Now that... that's just overkill! But hey, it's Hitler, so it's alright I guess.

Highlander Wolf

Sorry missed the comment above that kind of confirms my dream. I'm off to weep a little.

Pornosaur

I do remember the story being a little "edgy" even when I was 10 playing this. Maybe this means they did a full screen polygon pushing "Scanners" version of the head explosion with the little blood and brain bits floating out like the redone deathstar explosion. I'm all over this either way.

Pornosaur

Soooo GRAW gets a Teen rating and this gets Mature....wow.

Numero10

Anyone find it hilarious that Capcom themselves put this up which disses other Capcom games? Plus this was great:

"Hitl--er, Master-D"

Karlott

This actually makes me want to play the trial.

el_rezzo

@male roof blower: They'd still get away with the head exploding then.

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

rating bionic commando M is like hating freedom. if this game gets an M rating the terrorists win.
