"It didn't commando our attention, you might say."

Somebody give this man a promotion.

I didn't really have any sort of nostalgia for Bionic Commando, since I never touched the series until playing BC: Rearmed a few weeks ago. I've heard bad things about this new game from pretty much every reliable source I turn to, so I don't think I'll be picking this up at all.

Ouch.

I had like .5% interest in this game and after seeing it in action that .5% went down to 0%. I am never ever going to own this game as the PSN rearmed version was more my cup of tea.

This is a joke right? Only 27,000 copies total. That just doesn't sound right at all. Are you sure there isn't another zero that's missing from that number. I mean the reviews were mediocre, but 27,000 just seems monumentally to low.

I was relatively excited for this for a while but the timing kind of killed it for me. I knew I was going to be buying both Red Faction AND Prototype within a couple weeks and that multi-player demo kind of deflated my anticipation (I was actually looking forward to that part). The funny thing is, I went in to Best Buy the day it came out (on the Wednesday actually) and they didn't have ANY copies. Not even a place holder. So I bought Mass Effect again instead.

Hot dog arms ftl.

I was really looking forward to this one. I think I'll buy it once it lands in the bargain bin. Poor Ben Judd and GRIN :(

Who would've thought a Bionic Commando game in 3D with swinging and Mike Patton's voice acting would go wrong? Really disappointing!

While this is the wrong one to sell poorly (Rearmed can go get fucked by a retard's smile), I'm not going to cry over it. I don't have any reason to care about it. Besides, the less money Capcom makes, the happier I am.

I liked the game, Very much. Thank you.

I agree with guitaratomik, timing killed it. Prototype is taking up all my time right now, and red faction is next on the list. Perhaps if it was an open world game, it might have squeaked in, but I'm a sucker for open world like that.

Oh shame, It deserved more than that to be honest.

Wow, and I thought this type of shit only happened on the Wii.

Hardcore games do not belong on the ps360.
the core is dead.
ps360 is a haven for casual gaming.
ps360 is killing the core.
M$ and $ony do not cater the core.
It sold less than Viva pinata.
It should be on the Wii.

See what Wii have to put up to.

And you took me seriously...

I think that Grin took on too many projects at the same time. Had they focused on this, and left Terminator Salvation alone, things would have been better.

This is why some say, that these two games play a similar way.

Bionic Commando, Rygar...

Can't wait to see how they F up Blaster Master and Deadly Towers.

I'm surprised at the numbers to be honest. It seemed like this was a title that they could sell on name alone. The game was pretty fun for the most part too, although every single character in the game is an unlikeable asshole.

Oh well.

I really liked this game. Loved it to bits, more then the Nes version or rearmed.

Crap doesn't sell.

I hope this will be a good lesson for Judd and Capcom.

The game was shit

Again, Capcom had nothing to do with this outside of publishing it, Grin made it, the same people who made re-armed.

This for the people that keep saying BUT CAPCOM, blame Grin, Grin is the devil here.

And yea, I'm not shocked at all, Re-armed outside of being an incredible remake was also pretty goofy and over the top with some of Spencer's lines, suddenly we get this and Spencer's some grim and gritty guy with a truckload of angst.

Then there's all the flaws the game...

Big open world!!

But there's invisible radiation everywhere that's hard to spot and you die instantly if you swing to far into it.

CHECKPOINTS!!

But they are spaced VERY poorly and sometimes you need to kill every enemy in the area before they happen.

BUGS AND GLITCHES

The usual assortment, freezing, getting stuck, enemies getting stuck, etc.

Not even gonna get into the atrocious story.

The swinging is the best thing the game had, they did it perfectly but everything else felt really poor, the thing is that people do want an updated Bionic Commando, they just want all the charm the NES, Gameboy and Re-armed game have, not grim-dark hero number eleventy billion and one.

I played quite a bit of Bionic Commando, and, while not being an /amazing/ game, still feel it also wasn't bad enough to garner only 27,000 copies. I'm pretty sure it had more to do with the economy in its current state than anything else...
