Worm alerted me that a trailer for Bionic Commando has appeared on the scene, and in the words of the narrator, "Forces, dormant since long, awakening once again...I've been waiting for this day....Finally."



Thoughts:


  • They're using the original theme music.
  • We saw the hand in a new biomorphic mode and in a grappling claw mode that was reminiscent of the original design.
  • The game's environment is a perfect example of next-gen design: extremely dynamic, constantly crumbling and falling; the player's arm acts as a mode of locomotion, exploration, and can also manipulate movable objects, as we saw in the trailer.
  • A Bionic Commando is a definite hero for the future. Science forges ahead and turns a handicap into a superhuman ability--not unlike Iron Man.
