Bionic Commando demo available now on the Japanese PSN Store

by Jem Alexander { Aug 13th 2008 at 9:00AM }

Did you hear Bionic Commando Rearmed is coming out tomorrow in most regions? If so, you'll probably be itching to get your hands on it and try it out. Thankfully, the wait is already over. The demo and full game are already up on the Japanese PlayStation Store. We've only tried the demo, but it's in full English and is a lot of fun.

So if you find waiting to be a certain special type of pain, like having a tooth out, you can go ahead and grab the demo and try it out. Right now. If you do decide to, be sure to let us know what you think of it and whether it has persuaded you to grab the full version tomorrow. We'll just be in the back room. You know, playing.

[Thanks Glenn]

did they ever say what the secret PSN exclusive was for this game?

Spider-Prime @ Aug 13th 2008 1:36PM

apparently it was just Street Fighter Alpha being a PSN, which comes out tomorrow also. I think anyways, there could be something else but this is the only thing that they really said.

Mike @ Aug 13th 2008 9:32AM

you couldn't wait...a day?

dartmerc @ Aug 13th 2008 6:21PM

He owns a 360, he couldn't wait for a next gen console either.

There's also a demo for Vampire Rain, but frankly, I wish I never downloaded that.

A wise choice on your part, It is absolutely abhorrent. I would be ashamed to even release that game.

Richard @ Aug 13th 2008 9:35AM

Sweet. This should tie me over until next year when it's released in England after they finished translating it into English... wait, what?

Is there a reason why I can't jump in this game? I've never played the first, but not being able to jump is a little annoying. I keep dying :(

dancingtosirens @ Aug 13th 2008 10:39AM

You can't jump.
Just like the original.
You're supposed to learn to use your arm. That's why they don't let you jump.

reson8er @ Aug 13th 2008 11:09AM

Yup, the reason is the arm is the mechanic they want you to use. It was just like that in the original, it seems counterintuitive not to be able to jump, but you get used to it once you learn the way of the arm.

Ishimaru @ Aug 13th 2008 12:49PM

Fair enough, I just need to get used to it then.

Archon @ Aug 13th 2008 10:33AM

Eh. Another thing I'll have to buy from the US store instead of the UK one. What about 1942. That was supposed to be delayed only 'a couple weeks'. If it's not coming to Europe this week, I'm getting this off the US store as well...

Abelardo @ Aug 13th 2008 11:35AM

the demo was too short but it was okay and wut pissed me off was that i could not jump.... wtf? Just a grappling hook thingy that sux balls

themissing @ Aug 13th 2008 12:04PM

wtf is wrong with you people??!!! you have a grappling hook. back in the day, that was enough. get some skills.

Ghaleon @ Aug 13th 2008 12:08PM

It should take a normal gamer about 10 seconds to figure out how to use the arm instead of jumping. If 5-year-olds could figure it out in 1988 I really hope people today are not going to have trouble.

Ryan C @ Aug 13th 2008 12:44PM

Teh lame, there aren't even any 1up mushrooms in this shizz.

nbballard @ Aug 13th 2008 1:38PM

Has anyone tested the remote play function with the psp? I read that we were supposed to have that feature.

Moe @ Aug 13th 2008 1:55PM

It works with remote play so the full game should too. The game will be awesome as soon as it is released!

MaliceMajorE15 @ Aug 13th 2008 1:47PM
