Hum4n After All Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 you have gotta be kidding me that no ones getting this I am! Gleeeheeehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuRe-eViL Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 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 I thought that there was online deathmatch, just no online coop. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elex Synn Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Huh, I can't believe I overlooked this thread. I was by all meaning of the word TERRIBLE at this game back in the day, but this is definitely something I'm going to have to look into.

LuckyXIII Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 All I has is a PS2 and a laptop...so I will be getting the PC version. About frackin' time they revealed the release date! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgx Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I think I'll get it at some point for PS3 (better D-pad). I'm still playing Geowars2, Pixeljunk Monsters and Pixeljunk Eden. Hmmm. I want Braid too. So many awesome downloadable games recently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCvgluvr Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I tried the demo. It seemed like oldschool awesomeness. I liked the challenge rooms too. Is the game worth it, since I never tried the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfold Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Pixeljunk Monsters Man, I love that game...finally beat Special 2 last night, now it's on to the hard levels. Anyway, does anybody know if there is any difference between the Xbox 360 and PS3 version of Bionic Commando Rearmed? Trying to decided which system I'm gonna get it for...

Hum4n After All Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I think I'll get it at some point for PS3 (better D-pad). Actually it makes no difference about the D-Pad. I don't even use the D-Pad on the 360 controller. No need to. Works just fine. =] Man it's awesome. Downloaded it after I saw Tropic Thunder last night. Friggin' awesome how we get a code to unlock the Retro Outfit in Bionic Commando. And the Top Secret Trailer showing it. Friggin' awesome.

BardicKnowledge Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I tried the demo. It seemed like oldschool awesomeness. I liked the challenge rooms too. Is the game worth it, since I never tried the original? Holy cow, yes. This is amazing -- the only problem is that the 360 version doesn't have netplay. That's overlookable though...considering that this IMO the best remake of all-time, and is one of the best XBLA titles available right now. The challenge rooms give the game much more replay value than Braid, which I loved...but won't go back and play it again for a long time. The best part is that they didn't screw up the controls -- it is the tightest control I've seen from a game in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I find it funny that some challenge rooms are so difficult, the best anyone can really come up with is 1%, 2% or at the highest, 6% completion rate. I think it's room 16 or something, but after SIXTY tries, I finally finished. And ranked decently high. Bionic Commando always was a pretty difficult game. Way more so than usual because of the swing mechanics which innately made them difficult. Now in Rearmed, enemies are much smarter, they even hunt you down to a point, and they take cover (what is this, an FPS game?). I'm glad the game is actually more hardcore than I remember it. But also, this game is quite difficult as well. I enjoy the challenge, but I wonder how total newbies would feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeCrusher Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I got it last night but havent played it yet. Gonna try it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfold Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 It's been easily over 12 years since the last time I played Bionic Commando on the NES, but Rearmed feels like a faithful update. I was never particularly good at the original, and this game is still as tough as I remember. Great look and feel. The music is also pretty awesome. The only things I have to gripe about offhand are related to the controls. Sometimes when shooting the grapple without pressing a direction it will shoot straight and other times it will shoot at a 45 degree angle. It's also extremely picky with the analog stick to shoot at that diagonal, whereas with the d-pad not so much...makes it far less worthwhile playing with the analog stick IMO. Now all my home console playing time is going to be divided between this and Pixeljunk Monsters. Hooray for these great digitally-distributed games!

Hum4n After All Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I want the soundtrack! I swear it's like OC ReMixers did the soundtrack. Awesome. Some songs sound like they should be in a club. Love the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'm short one item in the main game: Does anyone know where the Database above the Purple Matrix is? It's the prototype weapon. <-- spoilers. Please either post it here or PM me...it's driving me crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCvgluvr Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Alright, that does it. I'm gonna download this game sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maco70 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I guess I'm just weird. The demos for Bionic Commando, and Braid didn't impress me much. Anyone have the full versions who can give me input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I (MasterTenor) am #1 on the BCR leaderboards for total challenge time. The only one I haven't finished yet is Final Exam (and of course, the stupid secret ones). Time I'm proudest of so far: Under 27 seconds on Forked Path, and I'll have under 25 after I add one more trick. If anyone needs advice, feel free to ask! EDIT: Final exam is completed -- yippie! I'm the 4th person to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have the full versions who can give me input? Both games are awesome and you're weird? Bionic Commando is like an oldschool NES game which it mostly is. And Braid basically is something like Ico. More of an experience and a series of puzzle than an action/adventure title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyXIII Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 downloaded after midnight, thought i could play just a few minutes and go to bed...i couldn't stop until a few hours in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am mildly interested in the story, but at the same time; I can't quite justify paying that much for it. I do like the concept though, and will likely buy it eventually. And Bionic Commando; It just didn't impress me. Looks great, and plays alright; but I just wasn't captivated enough to buy it I guess.

JCvgluvr Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I just took advantage of the Target deal of 1600 Microsoft points for $15. I'm gonna put in the code and get me some Bionic goodness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necrotic Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 downloaded after midnight, thought i could play just a few minutes and go to bed...i couldn't stop until a few hours in... me and my brother in law played coop, played for like several hours and ended up going to bed at 5AM, we were pretty well addicted the attention to detail and use of the bionic arm mechanic in stuff like the challenge rooms is just awesome this game is just spectacularly fun and a like one of the best remakes ever produced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
