Commando 3 for Live next Wednesday News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

6 June, 2008

Capcom plans to unleash Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 next Wednesday on Xbox Live Arcade.

And if you splash out the 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) on the promising shooter then you will be invited to join the beta test for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, which is an awfully long title, but a very handsome game judging by Tom's experience at Captivate 08 last week.

Commando 3 was released on the US PlayStation Store yesterday, and is a much better co-operative blaster for you and two of your friends than Rocketmen was; our review will tell you this soon. Very soon. Patience you must have.

Unfortunately there's still no word of its European PS3 whereabouts, so you will have to fake your nationality and steal it from the US Store if you simply cannot wait.

Pop over to our Commando 3 gamepage to see what it looks like.

I' rather have the original on live, saw some footage a while back and was pretty "meh". May have to buy it just to get an early look at SSF2 HD.

You clever sods Capcom....

If it wasnt for all the games i currently trying to find time to finish i would have bought it for the SSF2HDR beta alone.
Because of all the games right now i rather wait for the release of the game itself.

Well it's from Capcom so expect a 6-9 months delay.

so technically, PSN isn't first to the punch then (this being EU and an EU-related site...)

At least... and the conversion of money still points to 1:1, even if the Dollar isn't worth shit anymore (and 6-9 months says, it will continue to drop... presidential election is only after that...)

Er, no since it's out on the PSN and you can download it from the US store and play it on your EU PS3 should you wish.

Come on, Its Friday and EG love to stir things up as usual!

'PSN first to the punch': As its US only and yes European can get it but only if they have Mastercard or such to get US fund account.

'Commando 3 for Live next Wed' is the actual main content of the article and yet PSN European date is not known at this time.

Either can claim victory depending on your point of view, but I would declare IMO that once again European PSN disappoints!

No matter if you can go to US, then why not just go for the one worldwide Store available for everyone if that gonna make things damn easy?!

You can fake a foreign Live account too, can't you? People were getting the NG2 demo that way.

I feel ya there, buddy. Of course, Commandos hurled itself pretty violently off the rails post-C2, so even the announcement of a new one wouldn't excite me much unless it was a return to the roots.

Me too :( I want to make a pile of naked nazi's again.... What?

Actually if you want some fun Commandos stuff, the Eidos Everything pack on Steam is amazingly good value. Even if it does come with a couple of really horrific games.

Ah, once again a team of crack Space Monkeys are strenuously working on translating everything in this nuanced and dialogue heavy title from English to English...

I made a fake US account to try and get Echochrome, but I can't buy anything as it requres a US based visa card.

Anyone know a way around this?
