Bionic Commando Rearmed - PS3 Network

Add one more to the growing list of Trophy-supported games. Capcom's Bionic Commando: Rearmed is coming out this week on the PSN, and while it won't support Trophies at launch, they will be patched in later at some point. For an idea of what the Trophies may look like, visit Xbox360Achievements.org to see the full list of Achievements. Looks like these Trophies may not be too difficult to get ... except for the one where you have to beat the game on Super Hard. Ouch!

Capcom Producer Ben Judd led a panel of folks who were each somehow involved with Bionic Commando and/or Bionic Commando Rearmed this evening at the San Diego Comic-Con. During the gathering, the crew showcased the trailer from E3 and went through the things that they wanted to keep in the Bionic Commando remake (cheesy dialogue, control mechanics, and the music) and what they wanted to dump (namely, the unforgiving gameplay that demanded perfection).

DarkZero: It seems Bionic Commando Rearmed has finally got a date, and should hit XBLA on August 13th. The news comes direct from Xbox Japan as they've let slip the date on the games splash page on their official site. As of yet it has not been confirmed if the game will hit US and Europe on the same day, but it is very likely to happen as most big games are usually released on the same day worldwide.

On the Playstation.Blog, Cappcom's John Diamonod and Ben Judd writes: "It was too late into development to add trophy support at this time, however, Ben assures me that we'll have this feature for BCR in the near future!
Medals are the equivalent to achievements. Basically doing the same things in either version will open up these medals. We are currently reviewing how much work it would take to retro tag save/clear data for trophy support. Certainly though, if it does not require a huge amount of programming time (I.e. money) then we will probably move forward with it."

The upcoming 1942 and Bionic Commando PSN games are not going to support trophies, according to a statement by Capcom PR Manager Tim Ng. Many speculated after a recent PlayStation.Blog post that the upcoming downloadable Bionic Commando title would support PS3's Achievement-esque Trophy system. Considering how popular they are for Super Stardust HD, we really hoped Capcom would've been able to add these shiny accomplishments into their games. Perhaps they'll reconsider for future titles down the line.

Bionic Commando Rearmed might be coming to both Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network, but that's not to say both versions are identical. Capcom's Ben Judd has teased that they have a "VERY cool surprise for those of you who purchase the PSN version". So not cool, then, but VERY cool. Guess that'll be revealed next week. Something revealed today, however, is the fact the game will also support Remote Play via your PSP, which really, is as VERY cool a surprise as we need.

Destructoid writes: "Ask producer Ben Judd what two things Bionic Commando fans think made the game great, and the first will be the game's swing mechanic. The second, as he puts it, "will no doubt be a certain dictator's head exploding."
"We had to give them the money shot," Judd tells me of the Xbox LIVE Arcade/PlayStation Network remake, Bionic Commando Rearmed. "And it really does feel like a money shot, because those five seconds are what gave it that [M] rating. We've cut those five seconds from the Japanese version and it got a B rating, which is like 12. It's a 2D game with an M rating for five seconds. Booya."

Eurogamer writes: "Bionic Commando producer Ben Judd has told Eurogamer to expect elements of the re-imagined XBLA, PSN and PC game, Bionic Commando Rearmed, to fill out the back-story of next year's 3D game.
"We intentionally put in some nuggets in the story that later tie into the 3D version," Judd told Eurogamer.
"You'll talk to some characters that will ask Spencer about his wife and he'll say, 'my wife left me, I don't why she left me - maybe she just couldn't handle a military man and that lifestyle'."

So, it seems Capcom not only wants to "do with games what Marvel did with comics," but it looks like they want to do with comics what Marvel did with comics, too.
Four comics are on the way, and so far, two have been named in Bionic Commando and Lost Planet. Published by Devil's Due, these two comics, plus the identities of the remaining two, will make their debut soon at the San Diego Comic Con.

Bionic Commando's side-scrolling revival, coming to the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Store, gets a Mature (M) rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). Bionic Commando Rearmed won't reach the wide audience it was originally intended for. M Rated downloadable games are the minority on the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Store.
Could this sabotage Capcom and developer GRIN's attempt at reviving the game for a new generation? Can Capcom make profit on the game that the community voted to go for $10 (rather than $15)?
