Bionic Commando 2D Remake: Preview and Vid
- Thread starter SPEA
- Start date
I have to say it didn't look that special in screens, but seeing the trailer changed a lot! Animations are impressive, it moves so smooth...I always thought the gameplay/controls of the original was stale and clunky (like many games from that era, looking back) but this looks like a huge upgrade in that department. Co-op is also cool, shame about off-line only. :/

Wow that is just awesome.
I don't think the wife ever played the original, can't wait to see what she thinks when we play some co-op.

Too bad about the offline-only co-op, but it still looks great.

No online co-op? Bawl.

It's about resources. Adding online to a game is quite a lot of work. Though for a huge developer like Capcom it shouldn't be a real issue.

DAY ONE

I'm such a whore for the original that I'm that much more likely to pick up the 3D one just for the original character (who people constantly call Super Joe, and are constantly wrong about) being unlockable.
That and I think the 3D one has a lot of potential to begin with. Knowing Capcom is respecting their roots I'm on-board 100% now.

Is the co-op mode online?
Originally, Bionic Commando Rearmed was developed to be a single player experience. The engine, tools, and programming were all built with this concept in mind. However, as production moved forward, developer Grin decided to try out adding a second player into the game. Not only did it work really well, but it added a lot of value to the game, so we started talking about adding online co-op. Unfortunately, by this time, the production had moved along too far and the entire game would have had to been rebuilt just to add this feature.
We know the fans will be disappointed by the lack of inclusion of online co-op but rather than adopting a policy of "what you don't know can't hurt you" by cutting the co-op altogether, we have kept it in the hope that fans will be able to appreciate the added content that wasn't even originally planned. Still, this game is supposed to be for the fans, so we have added in some very cool new modes that have yet to be revealed. Hopefully, when you see those, you'll realize just how great a bargain Bionic Commando Rearmed really is!

So, So awesome.
The original is one of my favorite games of all time.
I only ever played the NES version so I won't miss them calling him "Hitler" but it was pretty obvious, even back then, that we were dealing with renamed Nazis.

Why is that X-Play commercial trying to inspire me with fake U2 guitar rock and NES nostalgia?

That trailer looked fantastic.
Looks incredible. Some awesome downloadable games this year: Rez HD, Ikaruga, Castle Crashers, N+, this, more I'm forgetting probably. Downloadable titles are my favorite thing of this gen
btw remakes like this should be done even more often. Make the classics easily accessible for the younger generation

I'm pretty much just going to echo everyone else, graphics are a bit meh, but the trailer sells it. Great animation and it looks like a lot of fun. I'm going wait for some hands on impressions before I get too excited, but so far me wantie.
Just get that co-op online, guys.
