Go! Go! Go! Bionic! (Rearmed is upon us soon!)

[Stu]

I finished watching the three "Making Of..." videos from the PS3 store earlier tonight, so great seeing the transition from old to new! The multiplayer looks amazing too...so just why won't Capcom let us do it online?! Lost Planet is massively successful online, Resident Evil 5 will inevitable go in that direction, and 1942 recently featured it, so why not BC:R, the apparent jewel in the Capcom remake crown for this year?

Capcom take so much shit for being "lazy", and in some of their projects maybe it's warranted, but the ammount of effort that goes into remakes like this, 1942 and Commando 3, and the inevitable glory that'll be RE5, Dark Void and Bionic Commando is surely proof that any claims of laziness are nine times out of ten massively unwarranted?

I'm hoping Capcom will eventually patch this to include online multiplayer big time though.

There is no Online Multiplayer in Rearmed because it wasn't even supposed to have multiplayer at all (not even co-op). The multiplayer modes were a last minute addition and adding netcode on top of that + testing it would've taken quite a lot of additional time and money. Simon Viklund actually posted a pretty good rundown on it over on the forums somewhere.

Ahah. Well, I've always been a bit icky when it comes to certain things, and seeing Bionic Commando getting brought back to life is a true childhood dream coming true. Nemesis556 even remembered how I earlier ranted about how Capcom had to get going on the remake/sequel business and give the more Bionic Commando

To me, Bionic Commando = Carnivol. There's no disputing it .

I finally found all the Yasichi's the other day. Now to get to my HAXORing and Super Hard. Can I HAXOR on Super Hard and get the achievement still?

Ahah.
Well, I haven't tried myself (as I went straight for Hard for my first run and have already got the achievement there).
But someone on the forums said you can get the HA><OR achievement on Super Hard.

I still need to pick this up, but RE3 is taking up all my time. Thank god I just have some more Merc missions to go through and I'll be finished with the Gamecube version

I completed this game once and then never touched it again. Don't really feel like playing it for achievements and stuff.

I completed it the other night, and picked up a few medals. I've decided to take a wild stab at picking up all the extra bonuses, like the weapon upgrades and the Yashichis. Think I'll check out Super Hard too, and see how quickly I die in it.
