Bionic Commando dated for Europe News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Tom Bramwell

25 March, 2009

UPDATE: Bionic Commando will be released across Europe for PS3 and Xbox 360 on 22nd May, Capcom has just announced.

The PC version will be out "in the following months", according to the last thing we were told about it.

ORIGINAL STORY: Bionic Commando will be released for Japan on 25th June, according to Dengeki (thanks Kotaku), but the latest Western guidance is still "May".

The GRIN-developed third-person action game builds on the legacy of the NES original, allowing you to cross huge play areas using your bionic arm grappling hook wotsit as you take down classic Capcom-style bosses among other henchmen.

If you want to get a better sense of it in the meantime, of course, you can always check out Bionic Commando Rearmed, which remakes the 2D original in classy style and even includes a hidden Eurogamer Challenge Room, which none of us can bloody well complete.

Look out for more impressions of the new Bionic Commando soon, but feel free to check in with some of last year's if you're impatient.

Have high hopes for this. But GRINs Wanted isnt that great according to reviews. I have a feeling the reviewers has lowered the score for the fact that the game only lasts 4 hours though. GRIN is also making the Terminator movie tie in btw. Of the three i bet BC is going to be the best. Capcom is behind it after all.

The Wanted demo wasn't that great. It was far to clunky and not dynamic enough for the type of game it aspires to be.

I'm really hoping that BC turns out well as I loved the arcade game.

Heaven help us with the Terminator game, as these have a terrible legacy.

Whilst GRIN are also behind Wanted and the new Terminator game, I think it's Bionic Commando that is the focus. They've been working on that for years.

Do Want!

It looks great.

While this is pleasing news. It should be noted that saying Bionic commando will be released to the west ahead of Japan is like being suprised that the Bible was released to christians before athiests i.e. Japan holds very little excitement for the title, which they see as a western style shooter anyway.
