Forums - Microsoft - Bionic Commando Demo Impressions (Heck yeah!!)

Oh yes! It's finally out, and I was finally able to get my hands on the controls and the swinging action. Let me sum up my impressions in one word: perfect.

First thing I did when the title screen appeared is just let the music play. It felt really good to hear this similar tune. After that, I watched the small preview and it showed parts of the single player game. It looked really nice, and I can't wait to play it (damn, why did they release a multiplayer demo only? :( ).

After that, I navigated through the menus. It reminded me a lot of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes' menu, because it was something fresh. The more you enter the different options, the less you hear the music in the background. It felt organic and really good.

Then, the big piece: the multiplayer. The loading took a while, but I guess that's because not a lot of people figured out that a demo came out today. When I could finally play, let me just say it didn't even take me more than 30 seconds to figure out everything. GRIN nailed the controls, everything feels fluid. The swing physics works as they should, the sensitivity is perfect, the jump button is really useful for pretty much everything (which is funny because you don't have a jump button in the original games, and thus it didn't do anything... hehe), etc.

Only one thing I found funny is that people could kill me way too easily with a pistol. Maybe they have epic easy-trigger fingers or they're headshot masters... I don't know, I figured a shotgun in the face would hurt more than a pistol, but it doesn't seem like it. I blame the lag! xD

Well, that's it pretty much. You guys DEFINITELY have to try this out. I'll be playing this demo until the release of the game, that's for sure!! It's the game of the century!

Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Yeah, the demo is great. Maybe they retooled the swinging mechanics or something, but having got my hands on it, I really don't understand all the hate it was getting in previews. It works amazingly well for me.



Are you kidding me? They were complaining about the lack of a jump button in Bionic Commando Rearmed, now they're going to complain about how real swinging physics work?

Do they want a candy with their games? Maybe a bit of milk? I can't believe this.

Oh wait... Did I even mention how the graphics look good, even on my small TV? I mean, it even runs over 30 fps! That engine is incredible, I can't imagine how it will look like on PC. o_O

I'm looking for that since a long time...hopefully it will be great



I know this is a bit random, but I just found out that there's an evade button. Not a lot of people know about this... so I have a big edge in multiplayer!

I "camped" on top of that building with the sniper rifle, and I killed 6 bionic men before I finally got killed. It was quite funny! o_O
