Yippee

Capcom have released some PS3 footage. Doesn't have the screen tearing of the 360 version but I wonder if it'll be hit by bad framerate to make up for it :lol:

Why do games like this seem so dull to me!

Goody goody gum drops. This better not suck balls after all this time.

No PS3 MP Demo:

The start of developers not wanting to pay the charges :lol:

That's because it is just like that, dull. I think it's the character design and coming from the download game I am so disapointed they are not going down the same route and make in more tongue-in-cheek

Looks good.

That actually does look awsome.

I'll enjoy the multiplayer demo purely for the swing around, hopefully it will allow custom matches and not just quick matches with idiots I don't want to play with.

I think it looks pretty cool,hope it's as good as it looks.

If the swinging mechanism works well, it should be pretty good fun. The actual gunplay looks average but BC is not about the guns.

It does look good. i enjoyed the swinging mechanic in the spiderman games, but they were sometimes a little too automatic and the camera was fiddly. If this rides the right side of good swinging targeting and good camera movement it should be good. Although having said that is this looks like its somewhere between crackdown and spiderman / force unleashed.

360 only MP demo coming tomorrow

Capcom will release the multiplayer demo for Bionic Commando on Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow.

The publisher kept us waiting until the last minute for a specific date, telling us a demo would arrive sometime in "the coming weeks". Capcom also said there are "no plans" to offer a similar demo on PS3.

The demo will include the Vertigo map, on which up to eight friends can swing around and try to kill each other. Of course, the inclusion of a bionic arm - the game's main attraction - mixes the regular Deathmatch formula up.

These are best illustrated by Tom Bramwell, who filmed himself getting to grips with the third-person action game for Eurogamer TV. Watch him struggle at first, before becoming competent and then rather adept, as is his way.

Bionic Commando launches for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 22nd May. Check out our hands-on impressions to see how the game's shaping up.

Is there an official thread for this yet, or, will this end up being it?

This thread, updating the opening post now.

Updated.

Cheers Sarge. I was convinced I saw one but a search didn't find this thread. I swear that Search function is broken.

Anyways I'm surprised to say that I'm actually enjoying this so far. It looks pretty average, really average actually, but the gameplay is fun to mess around with...jumping about strangely feels like Crackdown (bigish leaps) and swinging from pillar to post is very satisfying. It's one of those games I don't really care about but it's compelling enough to keep me happy.

Tricky controls though...I'm sure it could have been simpler.

Is that based on the MP demo, or do you have the game?

I love it, based on my multiplayer experience. Not so keen on the actual multiplayer, but it's enough to show me that the game controls and plays exactly how I hoped it would, and that I'll enjoy it.

Super(cow).
