Bionic Commando is shaping up to be a very impressive remake. Now, finally, Capcom is starting to drop some details on it. The verdict? This is no quick cash grab of a remake.
First off, Bionic Commando will be priced at $10 across the PSN, Xbox Live and PC. Not a bad price at all for a completely rebuilt game. Consider that much lesser ports and casual titles have sold for $10 on Xbox Live Arcade. Capcom credits the fans for picking this price point, though one can imagine most fans suggested $5 or free.
Second, the game will feature user created challenges. Players can go to the web site and help design challenge levels for the new game. If used in the final game, the player will get a credit in the game. A very neat idea, and more games should hold such contests.
Lastly, Capcom announced that there will be a tie between Rearmed and the new original Bionic Commando game. Players who download Rearmed will unlock a skin of the original character to use in the new game. It’s a nice little bonus, and for a change rewards players for patronizing a company.
