Bionic Commando demo available now on the Japanese PSN Store

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

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.

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...

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.

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

hey i just wanted to ask somthin, u know how the ps home theme is a chance to get in the beta of home, well i just got a randon theme its different its just white and the xmb is green and the weird thing is, i didnt even download anything, i just went to my theme's to check em out and that one was there, its like someone els put it there. It's from www.jp.playstation.com/ps3/home but i didnt acually download it thats the site that sent it to me. I'am thinkin maybe im in the beta. the update of the theme says 7/28/2008 and i didnt download it, can someone just answer my question plzzzzzz??????
RAV Designs @ Aug 13th 2008 9:28PM
I couldn't wait so I just made a Japanese account so that I could get the demo.
Did anyone else notice the size difference between the PS3 demo and the Xbox360 demo? The PS3 demo is 374mb and the Xbox360 demo is between 210-220mb.
lurkingsalt @ Aug 13th 2008 11:46PM
I noticed that as well. Maybe less compression used on the PSN one. It could also be for the 1080p resolution support. I'm just guessing so I hope there's an actual reason for that.
Keane Maloney @ Aug 14th 2008 1:01AM
what a cool game, once you get used to not jumping..(talk to the guy up in the first house..in the demo) This really makes me want to buy the original...
