Quantcast



The kind folks at Capcom have put together an idiot-proof guide to the new Bionic Commando game for those of you who need pretty pictures to explain everything. We have explained the controls for Bionic Commando a few times through our previews and there's even videos showing the gameplay that anyone with half a brain could figure out.

Still, Capcom understands that people on the Internet tend to be on the slow side so they've taken an extra step to ensure that everyone understand how Bionic Commando works. Take it easy when going through our gallery. We don't want to be responsible for your brain damage from looking at the pretty pictures too fast.

Ah, this reminds me of a more simplified Metal Gear Solid (2?) instruction booklet.

I can't help but feel like this is directed at me. Look, I'm sorry. I haven't followed the game as closely as I should. And your nonsensical explanation was garbage. I <3 pictures.

Does anyone else prefer this cutesy art style to the hardcore one they actually have in place? Another XBLA-specific tie-in title with this style would be awesome, imo. The ellipsis over his head after he's done swinging is just adorable.

I could use something like this for Bionic Commando Rearmed, as much of my play time goes something like this.

Press Grapple Button
Press "Right"
Fall down a hole.

So, the only thing I got out of these pictures is that the control scheme is a complete effing mess.
Tap A twice? Press Y repeatedly?! How intuitive...

Man I want that as an unlockable character in the new game.

Bionic commando was fine the way it was on the NES, it didnt need the 3d remake. People need to learn to get over wanting better graphics and start pushing for new original games, not rehashes from the 80s with a new trick or two added to it.

I don't get it, are they making fun of reviewers saying the controls are bad? These aren't the actual controls.

^, ^^

the new bionic commando. Not the remake. The next gen, 3d one.

Also@ Mr B. Really?... Really? Do you need some waggle for it to be intuitive? It makes sense to me. Press A twice to do a jump like move. Tap repeatedly to do an attack. It seems fine by me.
