Whoopieee! It's the ps2/xbox Gauntlet remake meets Spider-Man 3 meets childhood rapie!
Do not want, until proven otherwise.

Dollars to donuts says that the Spiderman games were the proof of concept the bigwigs wanted before greenlighting this. And I hope to God they're going with a better VA than that. You want a voice that sounds like Solid Snake, go get freakin' Hayter and not an intern with a chest cold.
Still, hearing the strains of the original theme song ran chills up my spine... If anything, I approve of the music.

Hmm, that's odd? Where's his red and blue suit, and why are his webs so dark?
I can has true successor to Bionic Commando, pleez?

It's not as exciting as I expected it would be, but let's not give up hope just yet. Capcom's next gen track record has been great so far, so I have high hopes they can pull this one off without ruining my childhood memories of the the original. And you're right about the dark anti-hero thing. Everybody is modeled after Solid Snake or Kratos these days. Can't blame the developers, as these types of characters are big hits with the gaming populace. It only makes me appreciate games like BioShock even more. The silent protagonist approach can be used to great effect if done properly.
I was a huge fan of the original... but I'm going to have to sit on the fence until this one is out to pass judgment on it.
OMG yes! I figured something like this was coming after the success of Lost Planet, the whole grapple hook apparatus in that game reeked of Bionic Commando. I don't care about what the haters say, I'm down for this game like Britney Spears's Ham Sandwich.
Is it me or his bionic arm looks like it's joints are held together with Hotdogs!Love the music,the hero needs a new haircut and cooler duds.
It's not Mike Patton, but if Patton somehow signed on for this, I'd suddenly be a lot more interested. His voice was one of the coolest parts of The Darkness.
I had more fun with Gears of War than the original Bionic Commando back in the day.
I guess I just dont get so misty eyed for retro gaming.

Jesus. Seriously, that's the best they can do? We waited how long for this? RIDICULOUSLY derivative. Apparently they weren't watching Warrior Within's reaction when it took the same turn. Yay for Emo Spider-Man and yay for next-gen brown...
at the very least, they kept the red uniform of the bads...er, imperials. i'm not sure why they needed to make his bionic arm cartoonishly large. and i can't get excited about a jungle level...as that was in the japanese version of the original, and looks like it seriously sucked donkeys.
so gears of war meets spidey. i guess they simply forgot that what made the original spectacular was it's innovation. glad that in the next-gen arena of gaming, they couldn't come up with any type of originality.

You can't go home again.
Its actually about how I pictured it to be.
I mean, he is a Bionic Commando. Short of making it anime style and side scrolling, I don't think there's any way not to get grit on a character concept that's one part extendo - arm swinging guy and one part single person army.
Mario's the only character that made the retro to modern jump without all this emo-retro lament, and that just because his 3D title laid the ground work for how the whole 3rd person 3d platformer thing would work on a console.
Looking forward to the retroforcego! podcast after this :D

Stop halfway watching this video. What other game had a whip that made you swing around the level???? I forgot, anybody?? Anyhoot, FUCK THIS GAME!!!
I think you're all being silly. It looks intriguing and it has potential. I'm all for the revamping and updating of retro games for the new gen. Hopefully it won't end up being a total rehash of, well, everything else out there. The gritty, emo stlye is overdone, but it can work if the game itself is good.
"so gears of war meets spidey. i guess they simply forgot that what made the original spectacular was it's innovation. glad that in the next-gen arena of gaming, they couldn't come up with any type of originality."
but . . . its a remake . . . if you want originality, I'd suggest Hostess or Sara Lee!

I'll... reserve judgment till I play it. I mean it sounds like they're really trying this time (did you hear the remix of the old BC music?) I just wonder how much of Lost Planet's engine they borrowed for it :P
I repeat, as of right now, there is nothing appealing about this game.
I respect those of you who are holding out some optimism, and I hope you're right.
But as of now this looks like Final Fight Streetwise all over again.

NOW I remember where I've seen this guy before!
He's fucking Back Alley Brawler from City of Heroes.

Lol@BlueMeep, they really look alike.
The gameplay looks pretty fun, i'd just think it would get repetitive.

"Dormant since long?" Nice bit of english thar. Poor grammar aside, thought it looked pretty fucking spiffy. I see little wrong with post apocalyptic cyborg spiderman rip off's. Sure I'm sick to death of this "maturity" bullshit too, but as long as the underlying game is fun, sure fuck it.
In the future, when you lose an arm. You get stuck with something that looks like a forklift, crossed over with a riding lawnmower, and a Nintendo Power Glove? :(
Capcom... fail.
Capcom... fail.
wait and see is how I am going to take this game . any who I am going to play the realy one on my nintendo bye you all
Here is an idea Capcom, make a 2D version for DS and Wii so that you can actually make money on this design-by-committee bullshit that is going to end up ruining one of your best franchises.
The music remix sounds pretty great...
But blech at the environments and what we could make out of what the plot will be. Sure it should be industrial and slightly futuristic, but this gritty bullshit is bullshit. And what about the red nazi eagle army?? Where are they? And zombie Hitler? This is their chance to have zombie hitler in the non-japanese version damn it. He better be in it!

Jesus Christ people... whine, whine, whine.
Looks like it could be fun to me, but until there's some hands-on impressions on how it actually plays who knows?
