This was a fantastic game, and a license that needed to be revisited at the very least once. The concept has a lot of promise, and the gameplay in the original was wonderful. A shame so few on these forums seem to appreciate that. Then again such logic would have seen a series like Metal Gear get locked away from the light of day too. This was fantastic news this game could really be innovative, and launch a new fresh franchise. Swinging and playing with guns just imagine the possibilities.

I am actually quite sick of hearing about street fighter. I get it a 2D fighter that some people love a lot. However how many of these games do you actually need, or how long till the formula gets too stale. How many 2D fighters have actually been made up to this point, and why would you pay sixty dollars for one.

Sorry had to make the salient point. You shouldn't rag on Bionic Commando unless you think Street Fighter should get an equal ragging. The game was very good for its time, and could be a very interesting game. Even for its time it felt oddly original.

My guesses were a Breath of Fire RPG or a new entry into the Dino Crisis series. One that pays tribute to Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2. Dino Crisis 3 should not be mentioned.
My guesses were wrong.

Bionic Commando could still be a good/great game.

I'm not sure if these are concept art or early screens, but they look rather appealing:

What's wrong with you people? Bionic Commando is made of win. The only problem is that they picked every console Idon't yet own to put it on...which may be remedied by the time it comes out.

Just thinking about it makes me want to boot up the NES game.

Eh, like I said I'll keep an eye on it and if it looks good I have a PC that can easily handle a game like this. I didn't really think about the Wii. That's a good point that it would have been a perfect fit for claw grabbing.

I guess the Wii already has Rygar for... flailing? Anyway, Bionic Commando seems a natural extension of the grappling mechanic in Lost Planet, no?

I liked bionic commando, i was so amazed when i was a kid and the guys head blew up at the end of the game. I just kept beating it over and over again to see that ending, but as far as a current gen version I'm gonna have to wait and see because this could be great or mediocre.

If Bionic Commando is the entire announcement I will be a liitle dissapointed after all the hype but remember the countdown is still ongoing and Capcom still have to reveal what Dark Void is, so I think it is safe to say that there are more announcements to come.

The only thing that I know is that a jump button would ruin this game.
