This is when writing about video games gets hard. First, you should understand that we see the original Bionic Commando through the rosiest of rose tinted glasses, so our hopes for the new remake are unrealistically high. With that out of the way, the first actual footage of Bionic Commando has been released by way of the trailer embedded above. We've heard plenty of comments regarding the character design (mostly taking exception to the character's dreadlocks) but we really don't care. What we care about is that beautiful bionic arm, which appears to bee in full swing (ouch). Also high on our geek radar: the orchestral reimagining of the original game's theme song. Oh yes, that takes us back. The trailer also shows brief glimpses at some other features in the game, like sniping and the ability to throw objects with the bionic arm. All in all, the game looks good so far. Except for the "dormant since long" part. Seriously.
