Anyone in on this or played it yet?
I just noticed it came out last night and am very interested!
-
North American PSN store - $9.99
-
I wont have time to download/play it till after the weekend.
-
Played a LONG game of Commando....made it most of the way thru my first time (it doesnt let you continue)
I like it better than assault heroes...the vehicle driving is more fast paced.
The characters are funny looking and im not yet sure how I feel about the Commando universe getting a Team Fortress II style treatment.
Gameplay somewhat remains true to Commando - double stick shooting/moving is new as are the flamethrower and rocket gun.
The bosses are very smash TV, and some of it doesnt feel polished enough.
ITs worth 10$ to me - and I look forward to Commando II: RE-armed!
Novastrike was hard to get into at first mostly because it was not a 2 stick moving/shooting game...imm too tired to type about it now - but Novastrike is different enough to not be just another DLC 2 stick shooter...once you get the hang of it its quite strategic...its got some pretty FX - but you are zoomed out like 5000% so you dont get to appreciate them as much.
All in all I think the games deliver for the $20 spent...cant wait to play some commando 3 online.

Is there a way to purchase this game with a US account if you are located elsewhere (my primary account is Hong Kong)? I know there are checks to see if your credit card is valid in the US because of all the built-in online security features but with the Wii I just register my region as, say, Colombia and since they lack such sophisticated validation features the credit card is accepted. Can you do something similar on the PS3?
Commando was great fun on the PC - I'd like to try this out for the PS3.
-
This is the sequel to Bionic commando which was the sequel to Commando (arcade/NES)
I do not know if it is possible to do what you ask. I only every buy content from my region and haven't played around with the PSN store for other regions.
-
Bionic Commando.
Thus ends my hopes in tears. :'(
-
the original commando was sweet. havent played it since I was 6-7 years old though (could possibly be a different game)
-
Doesn't buying this automatically get you into the SF2HD beta?
-

Bionic Commando is a different series. Commando 3 is the sequel to Mercs, which is the sequel to Commando. The series is "Senjou no Ookami (Wolf of the Battlefield)" in Japan, hence Commando 3's supertitle.
-
How about some fucking demos of these PSN games Sony? I know Capcom built a Commando 3 demo for XBLA so why not force them to release it on PSN too?
-

I remember downloading the rom of the arcade bionic commando. You're right, dc, complete garbage. The art was cool, though.
-
When is this coming out on XBLA?

Look three posts above you.

Oh, I thought he was saying Bionic Commando comes out next week. Didn't click link.

I bought Commando 3 off the Playstation Store yesterday. I played through the first level by myself, but I think the real fun is going to be when I play with two other friends in the 3-player mode.
-
We played Commando 3 on both PlayStation and Xbox 360 and found them to be exactly the same game. But with so much competition on Xbox Live, Commando 3 falls even flatter than its PSN counterpart. So the PS3 version gets a few bonus points, simply because it largely stands alone.
IGN actually gave PS3 version a higher score because Xbox 360 has more games on it :lol

Commando 3 - 3 player co-op is great!
And thats funny I got the commando -> bionic commando -> Commando 3 thing wrong.
Thats the way I always viewed it because I played the hell out of commando in the arcade, and when bionic commando came out in the arcade the "commando" part of the logo was the same as "Commando" but it had "Bionic" in the title.
Im sure many old coinop fans view bionic commando as the sequel to commando simply because of the same "Commando" logo used.
In fact - because of that im not sure you guys are right about MERCS ;)
-
BIONIC Commando was perceived as being like "SUPER Commando"
-
I think you totally made that all up.
I might just buy this for the SF2 beta. I havent seen the achievements for Commando 3 anywhere.
edit: Ok, here they are
http://www.360sync.com/2008/05/30/wotb-commando-3-achievements
Seems ok. Nice co-op game, should be fun.
-
Also - Commando >>>>>> MERCS.
-
another thing I love about commando 3 is that they didnt pussay out and add a dodge/roll command....
MY high score is around 900,000 - I am ranked #230 in the world right now ;)
EDIT: Also - where has Ikari Warriors been?
-

Ever play a King Of Fighters game? That's pretty much all that's left of Ikari Warriors at SNK.
-
Ikari Warriors are in KOF? I've never touched a KOF game in my life.....
....
Are they playable characters?

Cant Ikari Wariors make it on some SNK arcade collection?
-

Jesus christ, IGN.

Different names (although there were like three Ikari games, so maybe one of them uses "Ralf and Clark," I dunno), but see Mox Maniac's post. Ralf and Clark are the Ikari warriors. Heidern is their commanding officer. Leona is Heidern's adopted daughter, too. And while it's not Ikari, Ralf and Clark appear as playable characters in Metal Slug 6, returning to their roots. There's also some Metal Slug mobile phone games with Leona.
The original KOF '94 really was an "SNK all-stars" game. Fatal Fury and Art Of Fighting are the most recognizable, but then you have the Ikari team, and Team China is actually the Psycho Solider team. Psycho Soldier is an older SNK arcade game, and is where KOF's Athena (not to be confused with the other Athena character SNK has) and Kensou come from.
You can use an Ikari-style Ralf (his look) in the form of Another Ralf in the KOF Maximum Impact games.
