Spyborgs (Review)

Sep 22, 2009

Spyborgs is about thumping things in the face. You thump hard. You thump soft. Or you play your cards close to your chest by thumping hard, then soft. Technically, only robo-bruiser Bouncer does any thumping, but Clandestine’s swordings and Stinger’s gun arm follow the same combo patterns, and Stinger is so ineffectual at range that you might as well treat his projectiles like close-quarter lead thumps anyway. ...

Spyborgs - hands-on (Preview)

Aug 10, 2009

A little while back, we did a piece about games that changed during their development cycles, and we mentioned that sometimes games go through some pretty drastic changes from when we first see them to when we first play them. When we first saw Spyborgs at Captivate ’08, it seemed like a fun, irreverent parody of Saturday-morning cartoons and the superhero genre. ...

Capcom "overhauling" Spyborgs, trying for 100 zombies at once in Dead Rising on Wii (News)

Aug 5, 2008

On the Capcom-Unity forums, after someone made a comment about how the graphics in Spyborgs could easily be achieved on the PS2, Capcom's Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development Christian Svensson noted that the game would be seeing an overhaul. "You won't see new assets for several more months. We're refining it considerably (pretty much as significant an overhaul as Dark Void underwent from its first announcement to its first big reveal). I have seen a new build recently though… it's coming along nicely. That's all I'll say about that for now.

In other Capcom related news, in the most recent issue of Nintendo Power, there is a tiny snippet in the Dead Rising: Chop till You Drop article that explains "the developer's goal is to fit more than 100 zombies onscreen at once.)

Spyborgs will max out the Wii, no E3 showing (News)

Jul 3, 2008

Capcom has provided the Wii with ongoing, strong support and seems interested in continuing their pattern. Spyborgs is one of the latest titles that have been revealed by the company. The game did not receive a terribly warm reaction from the hardcore Wii crowd, though numerous Capcom representatives have expressed feelings of faith in the game. Based on recent words, Wii owners should begin to believe in Spyborgs too, as Spyborgs, according to Capcom's Christian Svensson, will max out the Wii and will make the most out of the Wii's power. Svensson explained,"Spyborgs will be that product. Wait and see." Also, on a slightly different note, Svensson gave the unfortunate news that Spyborgs won't have much of a presence at E3. "Captivate was the announcement with very little detail sharedÂ¿ it'll lie low for a bit until we're ready for a bigger reveal (similar to what we did with the Dark Void announcement last October with the bigger reveal at Captivate), so no E3 showing."

Spyborgs - first look (Preview)

Jun 3, 2008

Wii isn't exactly known for its unique third party titles. At best we'll see a port or an old sequel rehashed for a "new audience," maybe even a side-sequel like Soulcalibur Legends or Umbrella Chronicles that is supposed to make us forget the real sequel isn't coming. For this reason alone we applaud Spyborgs, even without having played a second of the game. Whether or not it's any good, however, remains to be seen.
