Well, shucks. :(
Ahhhhhhh.
Thank you, Capcom!
"Get the heck out of here, you nerd!"
Of course, I'm one of them. Jumping Bionic! Woo hoo! Sold!

Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 coming 2011, now with more jump
Capcom's next-gen Bionic Commando console game might have been a "miss" both critically and at retail, but most were in agreement that its digital download counterpart, Bionic Commando Rearmed, was an astounding success. So gamers should be excited to learn that a sequel, Bionic Commando Rearmed 2, is headed to Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network. The sequel finds Nathan Spencer going head-to-head against a new enemy, General Sabio, a "technologically sophisticated" bad dude looking to launch a fatal missile attack. Spencer will use all of his usual tricks to put an end to the menace, including his Bionic Arm, which can now be upgraded and enhanced throughout the game. But the big news here is that for the first time in a Bionic Commando side-scrolling title, Spencer now has the ability to jump. That's right, I said it -- dude can bend his knees and jump. This simple move (often taken for granted in traditional side-scrolling games) has the potential to change the feel of the series, offering more freedom and possibilities. In the premiere trailer for the game, we see Spencer attempting to use his Bionic Arm to reach a platform that's just out of reach. Using the jump, he simply hops up before releasing his arm to latch on. Capcom is also promising new "physics-based puzzles," but it's unclear what that means within the context of the game. Rearmed 2 brings back to the same composer behind the sick remixed soundtrack of the original, and will feature cut-scenes designed by Massive Black, best known for its recent work on inFamous, BioShock 2, and God of War III. And just like the first title, you'll be able to experience it all with a friend in the game's two-player cooperative mode. Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 is being developed by Swedish developer Fat Shark, and is set for an early 2011 release. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)FUCK. YES. Although I'm disappointed that the newly-formed company that has GRIN employees isn't working on it. Simon Viklund FTW! Cannot wait, but the lack of GRIN employees is a let down. They did an amazing job on the first one. I am LITERALLY excited! And as a side note, I'm one of the few people who bloody loved the 3D game. (helped by Mike Patton's involvement) Well this is unexpected and awesome. And yeah, Simon Viklund needs to get REhired (see what I did) for this. The first rearmed had some damn good music. Aww, I was one of the few that actually liked the 3D one, so I was kinda hoping for a sequel...
Well, shucks. :( I also loved the 3d Bionic Commando. Compare the grapple to Just Cause 2, it's no match, Bionic Commando had amazing controls. Loved the first. Didn't play the 3D console game, but might still get around to it at some point. Definitely down for some more Rearmed action. Awesome news.... but I'm kinda torn regarding the ability to jump. Having to rely on your arm for movement contributed to the strategic nature of the original and rearmed.... oh well, I have faith in them. I recommend people to play the 3D one just to see how ridiculously bad the plot is. It's unreal is all I gotta say. Definitely a capcom game in that regard. Nice. 2D (done in 3D) is not dead by a long shot, and I'm glad we have the download networks to give life to games that wouldn't be practical to produce on disk. They've shown to be successful, proving that good ideas are good ideas, no matter the tech. I'm looking forward to this. I have never pooped my pants before becuase of jumping but dammit now is a good time to S....>>T.....a......>R>>>>>>tTTTTTTttttttt..\
Ahhhhhhh. Great news! I thought all hopes had died for a sequel with the closure of GRIN but apparently not. Hopefully this studio knocks it out of the park as well. It looks cool, but I have no idea why it's called Rearmed 2. This isn't based off a previous game, it's a brand new sequel. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! So excited! Best news I've heard all day! And to think I was just playing the first Rearmed, with a friend in co-op, late last night! We were actually talking about how cool a sequel would be, but said to ourselves it would never, ever happen! Wow. So, to wake up this morning and read this news is astonishing!
Thank you, Capcom! "Get the heck out of here, you nerd!" Games like Dragon's Age's writing or Halo with their recording feature, developers like that who strain the brain to add something more and often complicated for them must get really depressed when a game can come along and declare the ability to jump and people are sold.
Of course, I'm one of them. Jumping Bionic! Woo hoo! Sold! Dunno why there adding a jump into it but whatever I will still check it out as the first one is one of my favorite XBLA games. Gameboy color :Bionic Commando Elite Force, not only had jump, but it had 1st person sniping sections, and multiple characters. . . Not that i won't be buying this, re-armed was awesome, and since it was a remake of the nes classic i didn't mind it didn't have a jump. . . I love how the trailer doesn't feel like it needs to tell you anything about Bionic Commando Rearmed 2. "Pi, pi, pi, WE have spotted an intruder... WE are going to attack..." Pretty much describes what I'm going to do to this game once I have it downloaded. I don't care if that doesn't make any sense. It makes sense to me damn it! ;) "Pi, pi, pi, WE have spotted an intruder... WE are going to attack..." Pretty much describes what I'm going to do to this game once I have it downloaded. I don't care if that doesn't make any sense. It makes sense to me damn it! ;) 6:00 AM on 03.09.2013 Check out this sick 11-minute NES chiptune rock medleyGuitarist Psycho Crusher, whose amazing rock arrangements I've shared numerous times in the past, originally composed this latest jam with the intent to play it live as a full band.
