Just wondering who's gonna DL it this week, it's up on Live Wednesday and PSN Thursday and IGN seemed to like it alot (9.4)
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/897/897994p1.html

Wasn't the PSN version supposed to have better texture's than the Live version because it wasn't limited to a certain size? Just wondering if so I'll wait an extra day and get the PSN version.
 
yeah somthing like that, however didnt the raise the limit cap because of street fighter hd remix?
 
Still haven't picked up Geo Wars 2 and Braid, but I'll probably pick this one up.
 
I am definitely getting this on thursday. I loved the NES version and I like that they kept they same kind of feel to the game but improved it with more weapons and abilities, like being able to grab people and grab barrels and throw em. Seems like its gonna be awesome
 
I wasn't going to get it, but I stumbled across that IGN review and now I think I'll give it a shot on PSN.
 
I just got braid and penny arcade. I am looking forward to this DL.
 
Not only am I getting it, I'm staying up tonight to download it when it finally goes up. I played through and finished Bionic Commando more than any other NES game back in the day. More than Mario 1, 2, or 3, more than Mega Man 2 or 3, more than Ninja Gaiden 1 or 2.

Maybe its because Exploding Head Hitler at the end never ever got old, I dunno, but man I loved that game!
 
I'll be picking it up ASAP on ps3. This has been something i've been looking forward to for a long time.

Microsoft eases 150MB limit to let publisher achieve "complete feature and graphical parity" for PSN, XBLA versions of SSFII Turbo HD Remix and Bionic Commando Rearmed.

ROR! Downloading this when I get home from work. Time to relive me some Bionic Commando greatness.
 
Im such an addict... I skipped my workout this morning to download it and try it out and on top of that, I ended up being 30 minutes late to work because I couldn't put it down!

Ic, now I've got to make my mine up if wether or not I can wait a day just for the PS3 d-pad config.:confused:

Or can somebody confirm that's played it, if the analog stick works good on the 360?
 
Doubt I'll be picking this one up. Doesn't seem like my sort of game.

I'll try the demo though.

I used the analog stick the whole time. The only thing Im not used to is throwing my grapple on the diag while moving forward. However, when standing still, the arm always goes on the diag and in the air it is always on the diag as well. So, no matter what controller you are using, multi-grappling in the air is going to be 100% based on timing and not having to worry about hitting the diag properly.

Why wait until tomorrow when you could playing tonight!?

Bionic Command was my favorite NES game. I remember hanging out for DAYS at the video story waiting for someone to return it so I could rent it. Very much looking forward to any further additions to the franchise.
 
Absolutely. The original was my favorite game for almost a decade.
I hate the 360 d-pad and am tired of using the analog as a cheap replacement so I'm getting the PS3 version tomorrow.
 
Im gettin it for PS3. D-Pad.. i have both systems but the X360 d-pad makes me puke in my mouth. i woke up @ 7:30am EST *just* to get the demo on JPN PSN lmao ... intro theme is teh shit.
 
Jesus, I was obviously much better at 2d games 20 years ago because Bionic Commando is kicking my ass. :)
 
Bionic Commando was hard as hell on the NES, the first few levels were easy but it got really hard pretty quickly.

Yeah I'm with you man, downloaded the 360 demo last night and I couldn't shoot my arm diagonal for shit so I'll be getting the PS3 version when I leave the office today.

Played the 360 version for about 30 minutes last night. From the way I understand it, to shoot your arm diagonally you only need to be not moving. So if you're standing still your arm will shoot at an angle in the direction you're facing. If you're moving forward your arm will shoot straight out in that direction. And if you push up on the controls, your arm will shoot straight up. So diagonal d-pad (or thumb stick) movement isn't ever a factor.
 
Yeah, if it's anything like the NES original, your arm shoots diagonally when you're standing still or it'll shoot up or forward if you're holding either direction.
The NES one was kinda hard back in the day, but one thing that helped a LOT were continues you could earn on the overhead levels. Otherwise, when you lost your 3 lives it was game over.
Are the continues still in it?
Also - anyone else notice that Hitler seems to have been replaced by M. Bison/Vega?

Yup, and when in the air you need to press down to make your are shoot forward. When in the air your arm shoots diagonally up by default. You can also duck and shoot your arm forward.
In every FSA base there is a terminal you can use to access the tutorial obstacle levels. And yes once you lose three lives you fail the mission and head back to the mission select screen.

Im playing the 360 version.

haha. He does look like Bison, doesn't he. I like it though, it's a cool character graphic.

Regardless, since this game is rated M, there damn well better be some bloody head explosions at the end of this game! I don't care who's head it is.
 
I'd appreciate it if someone would post when the PSN version is up for download.
 
I'm playing the demo now and wtf..the tutorial is all messed yup..i keep finsihing what its teaching me and going to that gray area and nothing is happening..and im doing it EXACTLY like the guy is demonstrating..

Push up like you're going through a door.
 
Got it, thanks.

I finished the demo and I'm not very impressed. Braid was way better, i know its not an accurate comparison but I'm speaking in terms of XBL Arcade Games.
 
according to the official bionic commando forums, people said the PSN version is out now.
 
It wasn't that bad, but I don't think I'll be buying the full version. Not my cup o' tea.
 
ill be getting the ps3 version Plus you get the bonus of remote play if you have a psp.....excellent!
 
Well... true to my word I tried the demo, but it's not my sort of game. The new 3d version they're making looks interesting though.
 
Bought it. It's great, very nostalgic in a couple ways:

1. Bosses have patterns, and very specific ways to beat them.
2. It's hard as fuck.
