Bionic Commando Rearmed: Launch Trailer
Posted by Owen Good at 6:00 AM on August 18, 2008
Swedish techno music and the Wilhelm Scream! (at 0:50). Are either of those the reason for the "mature audiences" flag on this trailer? Or is it because they show quasi-Nazis? (Quazis?) Bionic Command Rearmed is out on PSN, XBLA and PC in all regions. Anyone pick it up yet?

Wow, that was definitely one of the best trailers I've seen. Good job Capcom.
I'm interested in the fact that you can play it on your PSP if you have a PS3...

great. now lets hope they air this on tv as a commercial. or at least a shortened 30 sec version of it. the more people you reach, the better your chances are of selling a product.

The devs, on their podcast, explain that its an M rating just cuz of the 5 second scene at the end of the movie. now THATS's being true to the original.

Pi Pi Pi! Picked it up day one, absolutely loving it. I was pretty hardcore into BC the first time around, even have the plastic marquee piece from an old arcade cabinet...
It really is a terrific effort, stays ru to the old school- I hope other developers follow Grin's lead, this really was well done, and looks great aesthetically.
Also actually picked up a second controller for this, anyone else play with a friend? its a blast. And gets challenging.
But.... why no trophies?

I haven't played it on my PS3 yet, my girl was watching her soap operas on our TV. That didn't stop me though, I grabbed my psp, fired up my PS3 via remote play and played the game on my psp. It's awesome.

I've barely started, and the two things I've noticed is that the game is quite hard and I can't seem to get over my inability to jump. However, the graphics, sound, and whole retro feel are awesome, so I'm pretty happy with my purchase so far.

The Wilhelm scream is actually in the game, never noticed in the scene from the video, but during the top down shooter scenes at the end there's a guy riding a bike with a side car, ever time you kill him you get that scream. So damn fun, and Such a great game.

picked it up and love it (ps3) the challenge rooms are pissing me off though some of them are down right insane and I feel it's almost impossible to get 5 of 5 stars on some, there is this one I can do with my eyes closed but I still can't get past 4 stars. I feel like im back in the nes days ready to destroy my controller it's so frustrating.

@gh0ul: Indeedy, exploding Hitler is back!
GRIN did a good job here, unlike the recent Backbone remakes (Commando 3, and 1942) they made a game not only faithful to the original source, but a game that has that Capcom "feel"
You can tell from those podcasts this one was a real labour of love.

@AuraHACK: I'm of the opinion that it could win awards. It's clearly the best game trailer I've seen in years. Not only is it edited sublimely, but the marriage of sound effects and music is absolutely *BRILLIANT*. The scene where he shotguns the quazis (I love that word) as he falls down is timed so perfect it made my heart skip beats.
I would love to see that trailer show up in HD on the 360's marketplace.

In concurrence with most of the comments already, this game is so fucking hard, but the soundtrack is unbelievable.
To add though--it's not "Devil May Cry" punishing hard, it's just "why can't I jump" and "cripes, that wasn't on purpose" hard.

@MasterSauce: You really were disappointed with Bioshock and Call of Duty 4? I play a lot of multi though and CoD4 more than made up for any story mode monster closets in that setting.

15 bucks on this game? Best investment in a long time as far as gaming goes. I think this has better originality in a remake than all Call of Duty 4.
After Upgrading my computer and playing through some titles, I've been so disappointed with all the big Triple A titles that everyone has been talking about the past year, (Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect. But this game...Ahh. A nice cool refreshing drink of a way to make games fun, challenging and completely re-playable. Thanks Capcom.
The inside references make me laugh: Dragon Run anyone? Fantastic. Do buy!

tips:
Gargoyle's quest
Castlevania
Megaman 2
Ghosts n goblins
imagine old nintendo games like Donkey Kong country in this quality. God, why do i torture myself?

I don't know if graphics of this quality have ever been combined with true old-school style gameplay. I sure hope Capcom's 2-D revival games are wildly successful -- I want to see more of this kind of thing in the industry.

Love this game so much. It's pretty, it controls beautifully, and the soundtrack is amazing. (I've had the "Secret Tunnel" theme stuck in my head since I bought the game Friday.) Playing it makes me a lot more confident in what they can do with the 3D version coming soon.
And for the record: THIS IS HOW A DIFFICULT GAME IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE. There's none of the stupid, artificial difficulty of taking away checkpoints or strictly limiting ammo. Failing at segments always feels like it's your fault, and not the game screwing you. Which is great, because the challenge rooms are grueling after about the first 25 or so.

btw, BC on NES has some sick MIDI music. i cant even imagine BCR :D

I never played the old Bionic Commando, but I do love the old-school gameplay that this game has. The no jumping sounds dumb, but it actually makes the game really cool, because it creates these mini puzzles throughout the levels.
Also, I'm addicted to the VR like missions. Shaving off hundrdths of seconds on mini speed runs to try and climb higher on the global rankings is really, really fun.
If you like old school gaming, get this game. Its easily worth $10.

Oh, and for anyone just getting started: fun little trick. if you grab a ledge and draw yourself in, you lose momentum and stop swinging. If you switch to your shotgun (once you get it) and fire a round, you'll start swinging again without having to drop off.

PSP Remote play sucks IMO.
Its laggy and pretty much unplayable. The music is choppy as hell too. Among other remote play games I have played this is by far the worst.
I was playing it about 6 feet from my PS3, so distance wasn't an issue.
Shame, cos the game itself is excellent.
I used to love this game in the arcades, so insanely hard. Good work Grin.

This game is amazing. I bought it on PSN and have been playing it a bunch. I highly recommend it for anyone who's on the fence about purchasing it :) I even got the soundtrack off Sumthing Digital after playing the game, since it's really quite awesome as well.
Here's hoping that the popularity of this game will get Blizzard or Interplay (not sure who owns the rights) to do a BLACKTHORNE remake. That would make my year.

@beril: Thanks man, I'll go check it out as soon as I can stand to stop playing Dragon Quest VIII. It's claws are well and truly in me.
Even created a new American account for BC, but it wouldn't transfer my wallet from my Irish master account on PSN. Ah well, at least I got some of the multitude of demos that never made it over here.

I really ought to find the soundtrack for this, I played the demo and noted "hey music is neat" but hearing it here really makes me want to just listen to it and jam out...

Braid, Rearmed, 1942, Super Paper Mario, Fez, Mega Man 9, Street Fighter 4, ... So many great 2D games (yeah, I know some of them use 3D graphics, but the gameplay is mainly in 2D) coming out. Are we finally getting over the damage done to 2D gaming by the original Playstation?
