    New Bionic Commando for 360/PC/PS3

    'Tis what I was told. Would be rather retarded if true, since I thought everyone except like, Square and Konami had realized you don't make any money that way. But ah well, we shall see.

    Edit: 'Twas confirmed. See below.

    What do you mean by "that way"? Making sequels? I believe Bungie et al would say otherwise.

    PS3 exclusives sir. My apologies for not clarifying. I say its stupid because of how big that game was back in the day, and given that the PS3 (by far) has the smallest install base at the moment, making it exclusive to THAT is rather stupid, since:
    A. It won't sell well.
    B. Not as many people are going to play it.

    Then again, it is a rumor. ;)

    Also Capcom isn't doing exclusives anymore EVERYTHING will be PS3 AND 360.

    I dunno, the rumor is that its going to be exclusive, but it is just a rumor, so we shall see.

    Its just a rumor. Capcom did say recently ps3 gamers will like capcom again.

    A game like this would be vastly cheaper then deving something like monster hunter on ps3 (MH on NG would exspect a lot, posibly near ff11 in scope).

    Also I don't think it will stay ps3 exclusive unless sony pays capcom money. Even 360 "exclusives" from bandai-namco are going to both ps3 & 360. NG games will most likely from here on out be on both platforms unless the company is 1st/2nd party.

    Seems iffy to me. I mean they did decide to cancel monster hunter 3 dev for ps3 due to costs.

    Inafune even said himself a new megaman for 360 or ps3 wouldn't be possible atm due to costs.

    After playing with the grappling beam in MP3, I would say that a new Bionic Commando screams for the Wii controls. Of course, that is only if they screw up (which they will) and make the game 3D instead of a 2D side scroller like it should be...

    I hope it plays like LP did, the controls were spot on. Though I cant say I was a fan of the Boss encounters and such.

    Can't wait for it though, looks like the framework engine. Awesome!

    You thought they were? I have to say that I was quite disappointed with them (specifically the grappling hook mechanics), especially after playing with the great control scheme in Dead Rising.

    Never going to happen or be posible.

    Tho don't be shocked if after the ps3/360 are fully hacked that someone eventualy makes a Wii emu for either one that supports wii remotes and retal disc.

    :lol:

    a wii emu maybe , but you can't read GC or Wii media on PS3/360 drives actually, at all.unless you somehow modify the firmware and adjust POT settings - but we all know how the 360's drive firmware works in tandem with the console's ID.

    I admit it might be tricky on the PS3 but probably more doable on the 360 (in terms of reading a Wii disc).

    Probably a chinese whisper - they are more likely to be releasing Captain Commando on XBLA and PSN
