what are you, stupid? it's a 2D sidescroller.
Title: Re: Bionic Commando Rearmed > Braid
Post by: cool breeze on August 11, 2008, 08:29:31 PM: PSN version also had the ability to play on PSP if you do remote play, which something no one ever does.

Just remember that if you are planning on buying the new 3D Bionic Commando, that Rearmed unlocks things for that game. So if you buy it on 360, pick up rearmed for the 360.

Also, good chance that the PSN version comes with the SF2HD beta that the 360 had for a month or so now. Not confirmed or anything.

People still forgetting about the PC version.
Title: Re: Bionic Commando Rearmed > Braid
Post by: cool breeze on August 11, 2008, 08:33:13 PM: You are right. I actually did forget about the PC version, but for some reason the PC version is $15 instead of $10.
Title: Re: Bionic Commando Rearmed > Braid
Post by: Enl on August 11, 2008, 08:35:01 PM: They said they were adding some extra challenges to the PC version plus, hopefully, there will be some future mod support.

Yeah, I've seen anagram generators before, just didn't know how you managed to get it to say something specifically about Bionic Commando :D
Title: Re: Bionic Commando Rearmed > Braid
Post by: Jansen on August 11, 2008, 08:43:11 PM: remote play for gaming purposes sucks ass. why even mention it?

i want to know what the super special psn secret is.

also fix your fucking 360 dpad. it takes like no time at all.

before msft upped the arcade size limit the psn version was supposed to have better textures.
Title: Re: Bionic Commando Rearmed > Braid
Post by: cool breeze on August 11, 2008, 08:50:13 PM: The PSN isn't really superior anymore. Both are the exact same and Grin already said that they are the exact same. Remote play is a feature, but I honestly never seen anyone really care or use it. The 'super secret' is probably the SF2HD beta coming with it like it did for Commandos 3 on the 360.

And I did 'fix' my 360 D-pad, but it doesn't make it anywhere near what a good D-pad should be. I'm not even a big fan of the PS3 D-pad and I still think it is much better.
Title: Re: Bionic Commando Rearmed > Braid
Post by: Jansen on August 11, 2008, 08:53:42 PM: if you fixed it and fixed it right it is just as good as the ds3 dpad. but you probably fucked it up or didn't do it.
Title: Re: Bionic Commando Rearmed > Braid
Post by: cool breeze on August 11, 2008, 08:55:31 PM: I did it right. I didn't do that newer one where you put a piece of plastic down there, but I did the one where you sand the inside of the ring so the actual D-pad doesn't get stuck on the edges. It isn't as good.
Title: Re: Bionic Commando Rearmed > Braid
Post by: Jansen on August 11, 2008, 09:08:02 PM: sanding is worthless on its own.

the plastic makes the travel to the contacts shorter which is the big deal.

i've done one controller w/ plastic and sanding and one w/ just the plastic and they both work great now.

Title: Re: Bionic Commando Rearmed > Braid
Post by: cool breeze on August 11, 2008, 10:01:09 PM: Well, I never tried that second fix, so you might be right about it being much better. I disagree that the sanding fix is worthless, because it still helps a lot.

Post by: cool breeze on August 11, 2008, 10:07:40 PM: XBLA is Wednesday, PSN is Thursday, and I think PC is Friday. I'm not 100% sure.

PC

Worldwide – August 14 ($14.99)

Available on Steam, Direct 2 Drive, Gamer’s Gate, with more to be confirmed!

So I guess it is Thursday. My mistake.

i agree but the choices are bitch, suffer in silence, or do something about it. i decided to do something about it.

however if you want to spend extra monies on another controller rather than preform a simple fix, the madcatz controller has a good dpad.
