Bionic Commando returns - PC News at GameSpot

I'm very excited about this.

One of my favorite games of all time. You better be able to blow up the last boss' head or it just won't be the same.

Yeah, the game was awesome. Glad they're remaking the game, can't really tell so far, but I like the concept art/interview with the developer so far. Remaining hopeful that it will be a good revision

Needs to bring Hitler back imo.

Ikari Warriors for Xbox Live please.

I remember we were on vacation in Florida when my parents broke down and bought a Nintendo. First game we got was Bionic Commando. Talk about torpedoing any chance that my brother and I were going to go out and do stuff.

I remember after we got home getting to the final boss while my dad watched - "Is that Hitler?" "It would appear to be Hitler, yes" "Ok, fair enough."

Man, is there ever a better boss than a clone of Hitler to kill in a game? Talk about replay value; I hope we can kill him in multiple ways this time.

These next gen remakes of 8 bit games just don't do it for me. They never have the same feel the originals did. I'm not just talking about nostalgia factor, I just mean turning a 2d game in to 3d.

Ninja Gaiden is a seriously bad ass game, for example, but they could change the heros name and nobody would make any connection to the originals.

P.S. Man I played Bionic Commando so much as a kid, that game is so pimp.

The PS2 Contra game captured the feel of the originals fairly well - it was definitely Contra.

It was also a gigantic piece of shit, sadly. =\

The NES version of Bionic Commando is definitely one of my all-time favorites. I hope they do it justice!

I will buy this game if it includes the slo-mo explosion of Hitler's head. That was win.

Shitty angle but I found this on youtube

Yes fucking please! I really hope it has the different equippable items/leveling up of the old NES one. That trailer looked pretty awesome though.

When I was a child, I hand drew maps of the entire game. Then my friend's cat threw up on them.

There's another two gameplay type of trailers at the end of this long Gamespot video - you can skip right through it to the end, it's near the 62 minute mark, actually if you go right to the 60 minute point you can watch a new trailer for mass effect as well - along the character list series of videos they've been releasing. GameSpot Video: On the Spot - 10/18/07 is the link to launch the video, enjoy.

From the looks of that original trailer and the last two trailers at the end of the video I linked, I really like the direction of the game. I don't think keeping the game 2D would have helped it become a success, some purists might want it that way but I believe it's had a great transition so far from what I've seen.

And because I failed at first, I managed to embed the video rather than having to link it offsite, but for some reason it still doesn't seem to work, oh well ;P The link works anyway
