For the first time ever..
For the first time ever I wish I had an Xbox. Oh well I'll be glad tonight when I get to play with a PS3 controller. Hey speaking of which is the game rumble compatible? I've never thought of that till now...Oh Yess
I downloaded it at about 6 am so i could play it before getting to work; It Is Fantastic, i didn't want to stop¡¡Now i'm just waiting to return home to get at it again..
Your download link
Hey your download link is biffed. Its got 2 links in it. Copy and paste, remove the first one and it works fineI guess insomnia can be a good thing
I haven't been able to sleep lately, but I guess today it went to a good cause. I was able to stay up and keep checking for the BC:R release. Got it and love it! Hopefully this game sells well. I'm already recommending it to friends.So far away, yet so close...
I'm very happy for all the staff that worked on this game, getting called the “the best downloadable game to date on XBLA and PSN” has got to be a huge win for you guys.One of the fist things I do when I finally return to my home (3 more days) will be to download BC:R and I know it will be worth the wait. Thank you all for making this game happen and (re)introducing us to an old friend.
No online Co-op?
I am very excited for the release of BCR, however, I am confused at the absence of online co-op. This was one of the most anticipated features for me, and with the game's release date being delayed for over a month, one would think that would be at the top of the priorities list. Anyways, I'm sure I will enjoy the game, but I always enjoy playing with friends more. The fact that it's only local co-op greatly limits who I can play it with and when I can play it with them. Perhaps this can be added in an update? I don't see why not -- the entire game is "downloadable content" so technically you should be able to change, add, or manipulate whatever you want to. Please update the game to include online co-op!I love this game
oh that has been the longest 2 weeks of my life. Thank you everyone for giving me a reason to be excited about video games again and giving me the best reason ever to quit WoW. IM ALIVE AGAIN! and all is right with the world.see my count this Friday!
Awesome! Thanks everyone for your hard work! I am sure you wished you had more time and manpower to tweak it to a whole new level no doubt. Thank you for crunching this puppy out. It just had to be done. Many, many, many more purchases for you and I hope to see the fanbase grow. It will with the new 3d game and its multiplayer no doubt.A Thank You and Big Round of Applause
I want to thank Capcom for finally making a true remake to the NES Bionic Commando that took my brain, and partially my sanity, at the age of 7. I want to thank GRIN and everybody there who worked on this massive undertaking, for making this feel authentic, while also making it very new. I think I can say for everyone that, regardless of price, this game is a huge success by merit alone, and proof that the hardcore fans matter. Bionic Commando's back, better than ever, and taking my soul and the rest of my sanity with it. Good job, everybody. NOW GO BEAT MY TIMES!Manual
Why can't I "Download the manual here"?It just takes me back to the same page. Am I missing something?
Thanks.
FINALLY
This game is soooo well done. Thank you guys for the remake and listening to the fans so much. I downloaded it at 7 am and played it with my coworkers at the game studio during lunch....and we might have also played it an hour and a half before work was over too! dont tell anyone lol...The multiplayer had us laughing like school girls and i havent been more excited while playing a game since Halo 1 multiplayer link up! Seriously...
a 10 for 10!
(i just coined that phrase) copywritten.
THanks guys!

Manual Links
Sorry, there was a problem with the manual link - try now.Not seeing it
I dont even have an option to download any game called Bionic Commando and I live on the East coast of the US. Is there a problem with this market or something?No steam?=lost sale
Direct2Drive only?I thought this would be available on steam as well?
Direct2Drive is a horrible system with restrictive DRM and they will never get 1 cent of my money.
Please release this on steam so I can buy it.
What a dumb move, Direct2Drive is universally hated by everyone i talk to, why does it even exist?
Wow...eu PSN sucks...sooooo much.
I wanted to play this game...this week...but it wasn't released on the eu PSN...neither was another thing I've wanted for awhile...just some random useless s***...I hate it...so much...I might get it for PC though...I hope my PC can take it...The controls would probably suck though...Since I don't have a gamepad...anyway, nice it's finally out.^^^ WithoutUnderpants you DO have a gamepad ;-)
http://zedomax.com/blog/2006/12/09/ps3-hack-ps3-six-axis-controller-can-be-used-in-windows/Ps3 controller in windows, now the only problem is you can only get the game on direct2drive so far, a service I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
Kick'n
All I have to say is Kick'n.... I purchased this for the 360 and also from the pc. Well done, can't wait for the 3d one. The pc is a little choppy, but I like the 360 controller anyways.lol@d2d
$15 Bionic Commando on Steam? I'll buy a license as soon as I read the news.$15 Bionic Commando on Direct2Drive? I can easily live without it.
No offense to Ifamune, or whatever his name is...
... but F*** Mega Man 9! THIS is a remake!No offense to Ifamune, or whatever his name is...
... but F*** Mega Man 9! THIS is a remake!Help
I got 1st worldwide for one of the challenge rooms but I can't remember which one it was... My tags worldroamer if anyone wants to help or needs help or send friend requests.Also, is it possible for you guys to do an online multiplayer update? Me and my friend are playing this at the same time, so we do private chat since it's the closest thing to online coop. We can only imagine the scores we could get if there was online...
Wow guys,......wow
first off I would like to congratulate you guys on a great launch and then I would like to thank you for making a sweet ass game! Talk about your moneys worth :-) I seriously have told each one of my friends on PSN that were stupid enough to not buy it to go and buy it asap. Great game, great features (love the remote play) and great start to rejuvenating the bionic commando series. If the 3D game lives up to the 2.5D game it will be a stellar hit. Congrats again and thank you.One more thing...
Hey guys, just FYI, if you really want to crank up the sales numbers even more as well as make every current PS3 BCR owner happy, do a trophies update asap. Ppl on PSN are really starting to get into trophies and it definitely is a selling point with games anymore.
