Bionic Commando

Nice Making Of video! I really liked it.
Hey, Capcom is going to give away 3 1942 Jackets next week, after the release of the game 1942: Joint Strike, through some sort of competition. Is there a chance that we could see something similar with Bionic Commando or Bionic Commando Rearmed?

I figured, since they "borrowed" your idea for the "8-bit to HD transition" trailer, you could borrow the idea of giveaways as prizes.

1942

Seriously I need an Xbox360 or PS3 because the level of bad-ass that this game seems to bringing to the table is pretty cool.

I likez me some bullet blanketzzzzz

CAPCOM

...is awesosme!!

Sweet, cant wait for more of these.
Its too bad Rearmed is a digital download. There is so much awesome stuff to go along with it (soundtracks, behind the scenes, podcasts, making of, special features, action figures, etc) that it would make an amazing special edition to buy in stores. complete with awsome packaging and bonus discs...droooool....dreams....damn why cant you all become reality

delayed?

I read on a UK website this morning (reputable one) that rearmed got delayed again!! Please tell me this isnt so

A suggestion...

I would also like to comment that I think it would be a great addition to add a forum to this website for the registered users to communicate with each other and the developers as well.

I can live with the delays

I forgive you guys for the delays, just keep up the good work and thankxx for the extrazzz.

Ohh one more thing

I still expect Ben Judd to play "Stock Market Kid" for the NES.

Getting warmer.

A making of,cool.Little closer to a date are we? or we playing the waiting game to release BCR with Commando?

http://kotaku.com/5029017/bionic-commando-rearmed-dated-for-japan
Can we get an official conformation?

Hmmm

I found this, not sure of the date that your article was published....this one though is from earlier today:

http://www.gamegrep.com/news/11916-another_bionic_commando_rearmed_delay/

article was posted at 4 AM today. Your article makes a refrence to the same Japanese Gaming Magazine Famistu that my article links to.

check it out for yourself. posted today. claims to have release date: http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1216936_1124.html

Will someone official please confirm this or deny this? I won't believe it till i see a post here.

Hey Hyakitaki. is this a pic of you on stickcam?

http://www.stickam.com/hyakitaki

looks like kotaku edited their article.

Yup

That's me, lol that was a posed picture with one of my friends pinching my nipples...I thought the expression fit hahahahah.

Love it guys!!!

The new video is great. I was hoping to see a bunch of stuff like this. Having "small folk" drive all the bosses just makes me smile. I'm looking forward to more.

Sweet

Them secrets about the playstation version are awsome seeing that I will be buying BC and BC:R on ps3. Also the making of videos are cool.

Darn!

I would have loved to play BCR next week. Oh well. It will be here very soon though. Just went out and bought a 52" Samsung 1080p LCD for this game. (Please make BCR multiplayer online someday in the future via a patch! PLEASE!)

IT WAS SUREAL

I have lived the dream i dreamed many a nights...
I played BCR and BC next gen. IT WAS EVERYTHING U THINK IT IS AND MORE! BCR is FLAWLESS in every aspect. It was like getting losing ur virginity all over again excited, nervous, timid, yet anxious at the same time.

I cant believe it even happen more less the way it went down. I went into comic con gunning right for the capcom booth. when i got there, there was a huge line and BCR/BC in a room all to itself because its M rated. There was a long line in front however this line was for Kristen Kerk signing. so i walked into the booth and my eyes widen as i see Simon there and no one else... I was like oh is it up and running and he was like yeah sure. for the next 4 hours me and Simon were there playing BC and BCR and no one walked into the booth expect drats im gonna get his name wrong Gunner Gunther. but yeah it was better then having a strategy guide. i had freakin Simon showing me all the secrets and way to beat the bosses. and then he got a second controller and we started a new game and cleared it all the way to area 9. I almost still cant believe it happened that way if it wasnt for the fact i recorded it on video camera so yeah i got alot of good info.
anyways the game is perfect. it holds up in every way to the old school one and exceeded all my expectations. There is so much stuff. I believe it when Simon told me you can play this for a year and still have stuff to do. The swing is all about timing. You need to use the arm to do more then just swing. especially with the bosses and deflecting bullets cause the enemy AI is smart. they run duck and cover and even flank you when more in numbers. I also noticed than when u enter a room or leave one the music doesnt start over it picks up right where it left off at i thought that was sweet cause i was really rockin out to power plant. The challenge rooms are sweet and soooo addicting. Its like u just wanna keeping trying to master it. I gotta say this game was a challenge. it has that quality where anyone can pick up and play it but it takes effort to master it. and by Ben's request i post this. I got to play VS. 1 on 1 with Ben Judd. and needless to say he schooled me. playing super joe gunning me down with controlled rockets. then he was talkin smack the whole time. lol said i should change my name to captin squashed. (which still sounds cool to me) and then he told me it was the first time he ever played it. lol

BCr and BC are not the easy games that play them self. these are meant for the hardcore gamer and they live up to the expectation of remaking a classic.

and also i gotta say everyone at the capcom booth was nice and courteous and very helpful. Simon and Ben are great. Im still in "shock and awe" So thank you capcom and everyone for basically making my wish come true, and i aint even a dieing kid.

"captin squashed"

For the Squashed Capitain...

Thank you so much for the report. I would have love to get my *BASS SOUND HOLE* destroyed by the bad brothers whom created what the wise amongst us know will be a masterpiece. I am quite envious of your experience. But alas, I've got people to do and things to....no... that's not right. I've got places to go and people to see. Venues and crowds a plenty are calling for the thunder of Typhon's drums. I'm just hoping that by the time I come back to this wonderful community that the game is out. three weeks and 17 gigs later I hope to get my butt handed to me by this game. If not, I just got a deluxe DVD of Caddyshack that's calling my name. Nothing but love for ALL the Bionic Brothers (and sisters if there are any) out there. Stay nutty all y'all!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SQUASHIE!

Haha, great read, your report. It was really nice seeing you in the booth and a lot of fun to play the game with you! Nice to hear that you enjoyed it!

Oh, and it's past midnight so technically it's Saturday: Happy birthday, man!

I squashed him!

@Captin SquashED - It was a pleasure to meet you and thanks so much for stopping by the booth. Glad you liked the game (was there any doubt?) and maybe next time you will have honed your skills more so that you have a chance at beating me at multiplayer. (You certainly had total control over the swing but I was sneakier with the different weapons I used -- remote control rockets are NASTY!)

And actually, I was lying... it was really my second time playing



@hyakitaki - That photo will haunt my dreams. As Gearoid says... "somethings cannot be unseen!"

Release date info: check the internet on Monday for some very interesting news!

Ben

Monday hmm? Excellent...

Er, I mean, TOTALLY RAD, can't wait. At least I can say waiting for BCR is much more exciting than a certain other "large software development company's E3 bru-ha-ha with their super-large cashcow publisher".

Saw over at Joystiq a pic from the cosplayers at Comic-Con... is that a Nathan Spencer?!!? WTF?! I'm jealous.

I bet "Wait for Monday" is code for "Major Nelson will announce it on his blog." Getting BC:R and Geometry Wars 2 in the same week would be wicked awesome.

I so wish I could have been there for Comic Con with you guys. I wanted so badly to try to make it on Thursday but there was a gigantic accident on the I-5 freeway and it was backed up all day. Unless I took a plane from SNA to SAN there's no way I could have made it. And then today I'm going back to Massachusetts. What a bummer. Vacation is over and back to the grind of work.

Hey CaptainSquash, I hope you post some of those vids on Youtube. It would be awesome to see.

Also, I did get something Bionic Commando related in my email this week, though. I'm not sure if I should mention it because it's still a surprise but suffice to say it did make my day! Keep up the good work fellas.

You know I got an e-mail too...

and I didn't even get all the answers right

Ok, enough about that one picture...

If you want to see semi-normal pictures of me they can be found at my photo-bucket account.

http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f2/Hyakitaki/

Everyone should post some pictures come to think of it.

Great idea Hyakitaki.

If all y'all are interested in matching a face to the stupidity that I unfortunately spill on this site, here ya go.

http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e107/typhonsdrummer/

I know it's not Bionic related but if anyone is interested, there are a good dozen or so youtube videos of my silly *bass* out there beating on things. Love you guys. Keep working on that Bionic liver that I'm saving up for!!

Question regarding regions for BCR and NextGen

Just realized something... will all things that you get from BCR transfer over to NextGen even though the games are from different regions?
In my case, since I'm living in Japan, I'd like to play BCR without the japanese censor. But when NextGen drops down it would be much more easy to just by the japanese version as there shouldn't be any blowing heads in that one right?

Follow up question....

Oh, btw, as it appears my mail shows as username instead of my username.
Can I change that?

Japanese BCR Trailer

It might be old news, but has anyone seen this very Japanese BCR trailer? It may or may not have revealed Master-D.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/37623.html

@captinsquash

Does that mean that when i lose my virginity it will be like playing Bionic Commando? only not as awesome?

because everyone loves double posting...

"Release date info: check the internet on Monday for some very interesting news!" -Ben

i've been waiting six months for something that specific, can't wait to hear.. please say thursday :)

Also what went down last night at the Comic Con panel? i've been in the dark all day. Apparently not a single journalist attended the panel :/

That japanese trailer was hi-larious. GO GO GO BIONIC! And yeah, that's Master-D, they showed him on that PSN page linked in this very blog post.

Wow

No offense but I don't know how the japanese don't get seizures from their commercials. I thought my eyes were about to explode for a second there.

@ lockdown375

Are you kidding me? Have you seen the anime shows they have over there =)?

quick totaly non relavent question for anyone who knows

does anyone there know if we will be able to hear the orchistrated theme anytime soon?

Bionic Commando Rearmed subtitle

Hey, I just saw the awesome Japanese trailer again. (guess when I saw it before =P )
So, at the end I wasn't able to read the rest of what's in red. The font is kind of small. But it seems that Bionic Commando Rearmed has a different subtitle in Japanese: "Master D ......."
What is it?

Never mind... I was able to make the image bigger at gametrailers.com
It's more complex Kanjis... I'll have to ask my teacher. Unless you're willing to tell me what it means...
Thanks.

@Dubindoh

Long time, no talk Yuri! Hope you are doing well, man.

The Japanese title is "Bionic Commando Master D FUKKATSU KEIKAKU" which means:
Bionic Commando: Master D's Revival Plan

The idea was to use the word "FUKKATSU" (Revival) since that was in the original Japanese title (although it was originally "Hitler's Revival" so we ended up changing it to Master D.

Ben

Release date please. No screw that. Just release it this week. Seriously. Stop playing games.

Oh wow, Awesome japanese trailer.

Interesting thing about it, the fact that it's sing along (and that there's a song at all) seems to indicate it's being marketed towards children, no? First I was like "wait a minute..." and then I remembered the Japanese version was going to be censored.

Hey guys! I just have a quick question. Whats the name of the music used towards the end of this "making of" movie(5:30-6:37)? I have purchased both the "remixed" soundtrack as well as the "original nes" soundtrack and neither have this song. Would it be possible to get it?

oh man i need my fix

after playing BCr for about 3-6 hours for the past 3 days and not playing it today...ARGE Its almost unbearable. Seriously BCr is like crack and i needs my digital FIX!

The panel was great. The NEW BCr trailer they showed WAS SOOO FIDDLEFRICKIN SEXY! oh OH OHH! it was action packed and the music went PERFECTLY with the animation. Oh i cant wait to download it. And dont go up against Simon in BCr multiplayer he had a handicap and still smashed out 3 other guys with ease.

@BEN yeah i do need time to hone my skills with the swing. It was great to play you in BCR multiplayer. After about 4-6 games after getting beat and smack talk from Ben i did score a sick shutout victory and owned Ben with my 5 kills to his 0! But dont mess with Ben when he picks super joe and swings for the rockets, man Ben aint no joke. oh and i do have pics of my Nintendo ZAPPER tattoo on the capcom community profile.

@Dvincent i might post them on youtube but honestly the quality isnt very good also i had no one to hold the camera when i was gaming so its like audio of ben smack talking and ohs and awes. but i still have to go through it.

@ typhon666 yeah im cool with putting face to the crazy posts. I got pics from comic con on my myspace profile "squashjeckel" and i will be uploading em to capcom community "squashjeckel"

@hyperslug YES it will be exactly like that. Ill put it like this, playing Bionic Commando Rearmed is like popping your retro cherry, you will "MASTER D" in your pants. and nvr forget it. its that good.

-captin squashed-

@ squashed...

...U are 1 lucky mother!! Still havent opened up that 52" Samsung yet. The first thing I want to see on that new TV is BC:R!!!

I repeat....U are 1 lucky mother!!

@chapped

It's one of the many iterations of the main menu track that I made for the game, that eventually weren't used. If you listen to it closely you'll realize it's the same drums as in the Area 01 song, only played slower.

I gave the guy who edited the "Making Of" video _all_ the music I had created for the game (including that version) so that one made it into the video but isn't on the soundtrack.

As far as I know, this is not going to be released officially in any way. I'm glad you enjoyed it though, and that you expressed that.

@Simon

Hey Simon! Thanks for the response! I know this is probably pointless but I'll ask anyways. Would there be any "unoffcial" way of getting all the stuff you produced for BC:R? I can't express how much I love all the music you've done for this game and I would LOVE to have more!! This goes without saying, but you have my word that I would never share any of it with anyone.

If you can't, I understand, I just had to ask.

Thanks again and I can't wait for BC:R!!!

@Ben Judd

Hey Ben, I'm doing fine.
I Hope you're well too.

Thanks for the translation. One day I'll be that good - I'm studying hard.
I've been trying to post more often here. But I still like the Capcom-unity environment. You guys need a forum here. ;D
Also, regarding the Bionic Commando section at Capcom-unity, it's kind of dead now... please, Ben, do something!!
You should make a banner that says:
"Bionic Commando Double-Post: Ben Judd's Forum Revival Plan"! xD

Yuri

@me

hello me i just like to post

@Dubindoh

I've tried. For some reason there is a bug that seems to affect a small number of PCs accessing from Japan. I have tried about 10 times to "log-in" but it hasn't worked so I kind of had to give up.

Ben

@Ben Judd

Oh... that's just too bad, man.
Good thing you guys are implementing a forum system here soon. I can't wait!
