lazygecko Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/846/846125p1.html The same developers behind the next-gen Bionic Commando are also doing a faithful update to the NES version, with the same 2D perspective and a few new things like multiplayer co-op. It will be downloadable from XBLA and PSN. There's a streamable video in the article. Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 This is why a 360 looks more appealing to me by the day (especially since SSBM got delayed...again). Holy cow, that's amazing. Quote
The Pezman Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Last part was great, except that they used the wrong spelling of "complement" for the occasion. OCRemixes for Bionic Commando Rearmed FTW. Quote
jayc4life Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Zero Wing remake oncoming too I bet.. (Actually that'd be kinda cool.)... Posted by: tophoid on January 17, 2008 12:37 PDT All Your Base Belong to 2.5D? Possible. Someone set us up the download. Meanwhile, this looks like it could be a tasteful download. Although, with it being a NEs original title, it's a wonder they haven't made a version for the Wii as well. Real shame. Quote
I-n-j-i-n Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Who ever thought the 360 would become the new king of modified 2.5D games? I didn't. Quote
shikigami Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 this... this is what gaming should be like. Quote
Sir_NutS Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 2.5D is the new 3D. And this is yet another ame that is pushing me over the edge to get my hands on one of those unreliable piece of hardware called xbox360. Bionic commando for NES ranks high as one of my favorite games of all time, still play it regularily, and this looks like SEX. Quote
Nutritious Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 My mouth was literally hanging open for most of the trailer. Too bad I'll never get a 360 (or any current gen consoles) Quote

On topic: The game is coming out for the PS3 too (It said PS3 at the end of the trailer); Nobody mentioned it either because nobody noticed or because nobody cared, but still Yay! Quote
bucky o'hare Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I don't have high hopes for an explod-ing hitler, but regardless this looks amazing. It's making me wish I had an xbox 360 or a ps3. Quote

The bunch of Americans getting into the old game is really something. It reminds me of the dedication the Metroid Prime team had for the source material. The "nerd" comment had be blurting out laugher. Great redone music as well. Now I'm going to play the ROM. Quote

I did say it will be distributed through XBLA and PSN, but it appears either no one noticed or no one owns a PS3. But wow. The bunch of Americans getting into the old game is really something. It reminds me of the dedication the Metroid Prime team had for the source material. The dev team is Swedish. Something that wasn't mentioned is that the co-op mode will only work offline, which is a bummer. Quote
I-n-j-i-n Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 You're right. But it's really strange seeing that anyone other than the Japanese seems to genuinely care about those oldies than the Japanese themselves. And most of the time, they do the more than enough justice. It's strange to see them use the full potential of the 360/PS3 for a 2D oldie remake, but that game really does look gorgeous. Quote
Patriarch K Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Seems to be a fantastic game. I hope they don't make new areas and stuff because I want it to be almost exactly as the NES game, but upgraded graphics. I'm sure you won't get the same feeling while playing it but it looks very good by now. Quote
bucky o'hare Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 You're right. But it's really strange seeing that anyone other than the Japanese seems to genuinely care about those oldies than the Japanese themselves. Contra 4? Yeah I'm quite stoked for this, even though I won't be owning it any time soon. I've been quite skeptical of some 2.5d remakes. The new rondo of blood, the chibi-ish mega man remake, and even new super mario brothers didn't sit well with me. Nothing about the switch to using 3d graphics seemed like an improvement or desirable in any way... not to me at least. But whatever it is they're doing better for Bionic Commando Rearmed, I think they've won me over. Quote
Palpable Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Looks like the NUTS. It seems like the levels and gameplay could be significantly different too, based on the new bosses and weapons. If only I owned something this was coming out for... Quote
atmuh Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/08/bionic-command-rearmed-swings-in-next-week-launching-later-on-e/ comin next week so whos getting this on what console i dont wanna play it alone ): ill probably get it on pc but if people will get it for 360 i might consider that instead! and lulz ya it got the m rating Quote

PuRe-eViL Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Totally getting this on Wednesday night for 360 =D Quote
MaGi_TekK Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I'll be getting it come Thursday as well. But why are you so eager for other people to get it Atmuh, the coop and multiplayer modes aren't online, so you're still gonna need to have people come over to play it Quote
