Would be on Thursday then, or is it some exclusive deal? This is one of few multiplatform games I'll probably end up getting on PS3, so a demo would be nice.

Pretty sure it's a 360 exclusive, and I think it's a multiplayer demo.

And yeah, maybe when it's closer to release I'll get a good idea of what system I'll buy it on. In videos the PS3 version doesn't have tearing and Grin, for some reason, usually makes their games better on that system. Plus I have the non-pooplock verison of Radd unlocked in the PS3 version since I got Rearmed on the PS3. Problem is really the controls depending on how they're mapped.

yep i agree that it sucks.

shooting at someone else has never been so unsatisfying and the controls are clunky.

I'm not even going to download this. I'm stoked for Bionic Commando, but I couldn't care less about the multiplayer.

Because if you don't put multiplayer and/or co-op in a game, people bitch about it nonstop.

I'll raise you a question:
Why even put out MP demos.

What sold me on Lost Planet was the really fun SP demo. If they I had just put out an MP demo I dunno if I would have picked up the game day 1. Most of the games that have had MP demos and not SP demos I've passed on the full games. Companies should just put out a demo that has BOTH if they want to show off the MP.

Here's what the contest is

* Everyone DL's the demo
* Everyone changes their motto to Bionic Commando = RAD
* Post your GT
* Post your Capcom unity tag (register there)

Then I will collect all of you up (need 7) and post it to Capcom guy, and if we win, everyone gets 8000 points and a BCR code download

Everyone on that same list can enter with the same list as well I believe, giving us at least 8 chances to win

Um... it takes a grand total of 15 minutes

* Download the demo
* Change your motto
* Register on Capcom site

profit

Brehvolution · « **Reply #18 on:** April 29, 2009, 05:55:12 PM »

I meant the actual playing part. Do we all have to play on the same team at specific times? What are the goals necessary to win or is it just random?

No we dont play the demo at all. You just need to download it.

This game fucking SUCKS

It wouldnt let me swing or grapple on anything 3/4 the time.

cool breeze · « **Reply #40 on:** April 29, 2009, 11:13:05 PM »

game would be awesome in single player, but multiplayer sucks. They did make the swinging more complicated than it needed to be. It should have been a tap to zip, hold to swing instead of always L is swing, double press A to zip.

demi · « **Reply #41 on:** April 29, 2009, 11:15:12 PM »

I'm probably not gonna win any points either. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME

demi · « **Reply #42 on:** April 29, 2009, 11:17:07 PM »

I'm trying to swing on things yes

You know like how Bionic Commando is played

cool breeze · « **Reply #43 on:** April 29, 2009, 11:27:36 PM »

wow, there is a one hit kill rifle in the multiplayer. Nice jon creating the multiplayer, guys.

swinging is fun though, it just takes too many commands to do simple actions.

cool breeze · « **Reply #44 on:** April 29, 2009, 11:42:37 PM »

Play more games. A shot to anywhere on the body isn't instant death unless it's instagib, but it's the point in instagib

Good luck to you guys though. I hope you win.

chronovore · « **Reply #46 on:** April 29, 2009, 11:46:10 PM »

I was too late as well! Plus, hey, I don't live in the USA and that might have spoiled the list.

The video-blog made the multiplayer look unique and fun. I've added it to my download queue; I like the new web-based store at xbox.com. I tend to completely forget to download demo versions of games I want.

Maybe if they didn't work on 18 fucking games at once, it would have been a lot more fun. Better yet, if only Capcom did this in house....

Capcom isn't exactly immune to failure

dark1x · « **Reply #49 on:** April 30, 2009, 08:58:13 AM »

I can see that there will be a great single player game in here with some potentially enjoyable multiplayer. This demo was a terrible idea.

The swing mechanics seem like they will be fantastic, but there is quite a learning curve here. Jumping right into multiplayer is about the last thing you'd want to do with unfamiliar mechanics. It simply creates frustration.

Then they go ahead and choose a map set at night time. I mean, come on, the visuals in the game can look fantastic yet this is about as bland an area as they could have selected. They should have gone for something bright and memorable.

The framerate is also highly bothersome. They unlocked v-sync and allowed it to cross the 30 fps barrier. It results in a very unpolished looking game. Screen tearing is present 100% of the time. If the PC version were releasing in the same time frame, I'd go with that version. At this point, the PS3 version is probably my first choice as they used vertical sync with that version (this is also based on the BCR engine, which ran better on PS3 anyways).

This is why the demo was a bad idea. I really think the single player portion of the game will turn out to be excellent. Rearmed was the single best "remake" of an old 2D game this gen. Nothing else comes close to matching its quality. GRIN is also divided up into different teams in various cities. The GRIN which created "Wanted", for instance, is not the GRIN that has been working on Bionic Commando.

Managed to sit through one match, and that was easily one of the shittiest MP experiences I've had in the past few years. I'm sure the campaign will be neat, but that was just vile.
