Looks surprisingly good, kinda reminds of Lost Planet while still looking (and sounding) like Bionic Commando.

FreakyFavabean

@PapaBear434: I don't know. I found myself sometimes shooting my arm out to only have grab nothing and actually swing from nothing. But it sometimes does happen where you think you got it and then you miss the shot. It's happened quite a few times heh.

s0nlxaftrsh0ck

This looks great. Is that being worked on by the Lost Planet team ?

Fabrice

Wow ...
Just Wow...

So many good titles coming out from Capcom. I've loved Capcom for years, and the lineup in the next year is nothing short of pure lethal awesomeness.

NewSpecies

I really like the updated music in this. Really classy.

Guild_Navigator

That arm must be hell to beat off with.

Eville1 says SKUse me a sec.

@fugit: I think this generation of gamers is a bunch of ninnys.

I think there's some truth to that. I played through and beat BC Rearmed on Medium and it was still challenging. Medium feels about what the game was on NES. I think mainly, gamers are too impatient nowadays to feel satisfaction from difficulty. If they can't get through it in a few tries they play something else. We're a culture of immediate gratification so gametime and difficulty of most games is scaled down so people actually FINISH them.

ExistentialEgg

I just can't wait to hear Mike Patton in the role of Nathan Spencer.

Humpski

How come everyone says BCRA is so hard? I mean, if you gave ReArmed a "10" on the hard scale, the original would get 1000.

I think this generation of gamers is a bunch of ninnys.

There I said it.

fugit

@Killer_WaLrUs: Ditto. That and the orchestrated version of the original BC's first area. Bionic Commando keeps looking better and better, but when does it come out?

ExistentialEgg

Spiderman meets Crackdown--with better explosions too. I'm in love.

Josh Lowensohn

Can't wait to play this using the Nathan "Rad" Spencer skin. The updated theme music is also quite awesome. I'm hoping that Simon Viklund has something to do with this soundtrack as well.

chuffhoncho

@Neobara: It does say PS3 - it's the very last word in the review. Any tentative release dates on this?

Madgame

I shall play this and pretend that I am Hellboy when dressed in all that heavy red armour.

The_Foo

Man, I was playing the demo of rearmed... I gotta say, I loved the music. Does anyone know where I can get the soundtrack for that?

akumaserge

Hm, I could've swore I read it even before there was a comment. Oh well.

fatheadwilson

instant smile on my face from the capcom logo and sound...
game looks rad too.

noesmano

@fatheadwilson: He edited it after we whined about it :-P

MCKWZ

@vid3oman64: Then again, it seems that that hook-and-kick move is kind of overpowered. Looks like you just send someone off the edge and then you're done. Also that explosion at the end where the BC flies into him looks... odd. He doesn't recoil in any way... oh well, they certainly can still fix it.

vid3oman64

@Neobara: @MCKWZ: The article mentions that, right there in the first line.

fatheadwilson

SWEET. This really looks awesome, worth mastering the controls. I love the old school Capcom intro as well as the military style remake of the old song.

vid3oman64

Wow, I am loving the new vid. The first one they dropped I had a "meh" reaction to.

The new vid is nice, I feel like this game will be something special. Hopefully the MP works as well as my mind is imagining!

Rubix42

Covered with win. I'm liking that jump-kick...

Highlander Wolf

Bionic Commando: Rearmed is also on the PS3. I got to say this version of Bionic Commando really is looking good. I was never planning on picking this one up but I might now just have to if only in rental form.

BlackIceJoe

This game looks great. I just received a PS3 as a birthday gift, and I will definitely be looking into this title!
I loved the first BC and Rearmed is great, too. I can't wait. And, this definitely reminds me of the first time I played Spiderman 2

firstworldman

@mooseman111:

Yeah, I corrected myself. I thought this was going to be straight multiplayer, like Warhawk. I was mistaken.

PapaBear434

@PapaBear434:

Why would this be less than $20? I thought it was a full $60 release?

Gameplay definitely looks cool though.

OGHowie

Ben Judd can has my monies.

Knoxximus (360/PSN)

Know what, scratch that thing I said about $20. I thought this was going to be a straight multiplayer deal, but this is shaping up to be an actual game. If it is, I'll pay full price for this.

PapaBear434

This looks like a ridiculously awesome game.

DanteIX

@PapaBear434 Why would a new full length retail release be less than $20 on the PSN? It's not even a downloadable game.

mooseman111

Wow, It looks better everytime I see it. Can't wait to see if the game compares favorably to the videos.

Ryakudatsu

I like the oldschool bootup on the Capcom logo.

Killer_WaLrUs

Bionic Commando: Rearmed it's also on PS3, you know? :-/

MCKWZ

I actually didn't know that Grin was working on both BC's. This greatly increases my anticipation for this games. Oh, the video didn't hurt either. NICE!

chuffhoncho

Man, Capcom's got ruthless quality lately.

Bernard McGraw

I see Star Fox 64-esque multiplayer mayhem.

PsycheE

I played the demo to Rearmed, and didn't care for it. The fun and challenge of the original I played way back when just came off as irritatingly and intentionally broken. I know, people love it, but I just wasn't able to get into it. It felt cheap when my hook would pass through the object because it missed it by a pixel width.

This new one, though, looks extremely cool. If it's less than $20 on PSN, I'll probably pick it up.

PapaBear434

Very impressive can't wait to play that demo

zombie16thc

That looks pretty fun. I'm surprised.

Methusalah

This is actually the first video i've seen of this game, looks like i'll have to start following it a whole lot closer from now

Sandldan

I'm definitely excited about this one.

DugDawg

Why'd you only mention Bionic Commando: Rearmed for 360 and PC? What about PS3? Hmm.. =/

Neobara

I feel like playing spiderman :(

Playstation

@Kaizuden: Actually, it looked to me like the character shot his arm out and recovered by pulling himself back onto the platform. They did that a couple times in the trailer.

Bonkerjerks

The whole next-gen thing has completely jaded me. When I saw all the high-profile titles like this first announced, I was blown away by the visuals, thinking - 'Can it really look like that?' And now it's nearly here, and yes it does - and no longer am I impressed.

What the hell, eyes? It's not like this or TFU look any less awesome. It's just... me.

/sad face

sir_carrot

Anyone notice how the guy was about to ragdoll off the building, but didn't since there was an invisible wall?... Hope they get that fixed.

Kaizuden

When's the release date on this game? It looks awesome! I'm loving ReArmed, and this looks like a "reimagining" done right, like Prince of Persia.

ZackieChan

Looks cool. But I wish the environments were a little more Sci-fi.

trigger2

Looks good but i'll wait until the reviews start flowing in

givetozim!

Now this is how to make me interested in a game.

digamma

@Bonkerjerks:
I'm pretty sure that is what happened. He flew back a bit too fast to just have bounced off an invisible wall.

Kicken

@Kaizuden: To back up what Bonkerjerks said, you can also hear the arm of the other character being shot out and connecting.

BIGGIN

Is anyone else really starting to love that bionic commando theme. I can't get enough of it.

Kounji

THIS. great trailer.

NOW... where is my DLC bionic commando outfit with grapple in Dead Rising? hehe

brightcrazystar

Was anybody else reminded of Mignola's Hellboy with that red suit?

The arm was on the wrong side, you know, but still.

Uzumaki_Kiba

For the first time, this new BC sequel/remake/whatever looks intriguing to me.

jerimas

I just went from "probably not caring except in a retro kind of way" to "actively interested on its own merits".

The Turok demo and information on Golden Axe had sent me down the road of thinking all this stuff was a terrible idea. But this certainly seems to possess the potential to surpass the majority of retro-gone-future rehashes we've been seeing lately.

dv8godd

Beginning to believe

GhaleonUnlimited

can't wait for this one.

TonyRockyHorror

Show of hands. Who's cracking out the classic costume code the minute they get the game running?

WittyUserName

Did you hear that theme music? Oh my god, it's like I'm playing the NES version all over again.

Plus, the way he went for a hard landing...I'm guessing the arm isn't the only thing bionic.

Still, I really wanna get this. Capcom and GRIN really have made me feel like a kid again.

WittyUserName

A HAH! Did you see that? HE CAN JUMP!

cheerfree

Will there be an Army of Darkness reference when he gets his arm?

Ilia Chentsov

EEEEEE. This game will be so rad. So fucking rad. Zomg.

Placentasaurus

I think this definitely has potential, but I'm a little disappointed with the only move he apparently has when grappling an enemy: that retarded sumersault jumpkick thingy... let's mix it up a little, okay Capcom?

NoMoMoJo

Wait. Grin is working on this version as well? Why did I think that it was two different studios working on Rearmed and this one? I might have to give this a look now that I know Grin's behind it.

spikespeigel

@dv8godd: speaking of Turok...if I could get a Turok1 remake with Wiimote controls that looked as good if not better than Metroid Prime 3...I buy it in a heartbeat. Actually, if I could get Goldeneye remade with Wiimote controls it'd be the greatest rehash ever made. It is to dream...

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

@Gunloc: HUH? What happened to my comment? I was saying that I read BCR and this game both run on the same engine that Grin made themselves.

Gunloc

@DARTH_TIGRIS

Gunloc

Now THAT'S how you make a 2D classic into 3D. That looks awesome. Of course it's going to come down to controls and framerate but from that video, I can dig it.

Can't wait to see the multiplayer. Although the pacing reminds me of Lost Planet.

@DARTH_TIGRIS: just saw your comment as I was typing the Lost Planet reference. We're on the same page.

Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.

@DARTH_TIGRIS:
No its an entirely new engine made by another company

DrSac

Looks great. And the music still does it for me. But ...

... the running animations are JUST like Lost Planet. Is this pretty much the same engine running in a slightly different game?

DARTH_TIGRIS

@dv8godd: Agreed. I hope Golden Axe does something great and not try to sell based on its nostalgia factor. Though I do have fond memories of it.

This actually looks damn good! I just hope that swinging all around doesn't make it hard to view where you need to

The combat looks adequate as well. I'm curious to see if they made any ingenious ways in tackling bosses with the grappling arm.

@Kounji: I think it rocks too! And I don't really notice game music a lot!

excaliburps

Wow...I truly couldn't give a shit about this game until right now. That was really really impressive. I was never a Bionic Commando guy, but this might make me one. It seems as if they've kept the game difficult too, because it sure looks that way.

ThisCharmingMan

well... i will keep my eyes open, but it looks hard... hmm.

joeloliol

Oh, hell yeah! This looks freaking fun.

SolidEyeSystem

This music is MUCH better than the music in rearmed... I haven't been that disappointed in the music in a remake since the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy on SNES.

*not a fan of techno*

@Placentasaurus: Heh, rad...

bobtheduck

I sense the newest IP in the line of turbo difficult DMC/Ninja Gaiden franchises. Do want.

PS: I miss the hot dogs.

fecalchaos

Looks really good!

MissingNo

@Kounji:
I am so all over this song these days. I skipped BC back in the day and was entirely unaware how great the tunes are. When I heard the remix in the BCR trailer, I was hooked for life.

mikethespike9

I think they got this game just right...the controls and the animation seem to fit well. If you look at a lot of "superhero" type of game...they all seem very floaty when flying or jumping. This seem to be just right. I haven't been impress with many games lately, but this one is one my "keep an eye on" list.

karateka

Goddamn this looks great. Really impressed with the level design Ive seen so far!

Witzbold

Wow, I'm wasn't planning on getting this at all, since all I'd heard about it was hot dog arms, but seeing this?

This is now a must buy.

Herabec

Looks fantastic. Looking foward to giving this a whirl.

Although the 'red' character looks extremely similiar to Hellboy. giant arm and all.

johnny_ultimate

That soundtrack is so awesome, it's my number one reason to buy the game.

zyberteq

I will definitely be using the classic costume code.

Bionic Commando: Web of Shadows?

Either way...I'm very excited about all the great platforming we are getting on the 360 soon. I especially love that while they decided to go 3D with this sequel, they at least shared in the 2D platforming love with the remake. I personally would love to see Nintendo do something like that with the Mario series on their console. We need a new Super Mario World.
