Bionic Commando Rearmed pricing, platforms, specs revealed

Some cold hard details about the gorgeous 2D-style Bionic Commando Rearmed are finally coming our way, courtesy of the official site. The title is scheduled for release in May on Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network for $10 USD, and will also release on PC for an undetermined price.

According to the official site, the XBLA version of Rearmed will retail for 800 MSP, while the PSN version will sell for $10 USD. The price-point of the PC version has not yet been determined, as it may include additional content not available in the other versions. No matter the price, the PC version will be sold over several digital distribution outlets, and will require either Windows XP or Vista, and at least 512 MB RAM, and 650 MB hard drive space.

More minimum and recommended specs can be found after the break.

Me wants =p

Im buying this fo sho!

This will include both the original and enhanced version?

Maybe.

Buying the PC version for sure.

how much space will it take up on XBLA? I know it won't take 650MB like the PC version...but how big is it supposed to be?

I read somewhere that they had to reduce the graphic quality for XBLA because of the limits on download size.

Lars

Thats old new... Microsoft allowed Capcom to exced tue limit... it will be the same quality.

You need to read Joystiq more often =p

I've never had of this. Unless you can prove it by showing me somewhere it says that the size limit was lifted than I would have to call shenanigans.

So what's the download size for this game?? I want to know how much Capcom broke MS's upper limit of download sizes by.

I'm surprised to see the recommend specs for this game. I had no idea it was a somewhat graphically intense title.

I cant wait. Listening to egm live now with Jeremy talking about it.

Yea I will be getting this game when it comes out.

instant buy

Can't wait! :)

P.S. I find it very odd that in the "recommended specs" is an "XBox 360 Controller for Windows"

When has any game had a specific controller in their recommended hardware specs?

When MS started trying to take over the gaming world.

I'm gonna wait until "Bionic: Going Commando" comes out.

on Steam plz!

it's deals like this that make me love digital distribution. I would easily pay $20+ for this game, but if I can get it for $10 and still buy a pizza I'm a happy camper.

Its silly why this is not coming to the Wii... it would be cash cow on the Wii.

Storage space.

So is the PSN version still the one to get due to it's unrestricted file size limit?

They said that they were going to be identical.

From Kotaku:

"Bionic Commando Rearmed on PC will have high-res textures. Bionic Commando Rearmed on PS3 will have high-res textures. Bionic Commando Rearmed on Xbox Live Arcade? Not-so-high-res textures. BC producer Ben Judd has said that, thanks to Xbox Live Arcade's file-size restrictons, which limit games offered on the service to 150MB, the XBLA version's textures won't be of the same quality as those found on the PS3 and PC."

Beyowned. I guess I'll make up my mind when GameTrailers.com does a head-to-head or something. Achievements weigh a bit more than a slight bump in graphics in my mind. I was just wondering if need to look into it first.

@Lars

Thats old news. Since then, they stated due to XBLA allowing them to use extra space, they will be identical.

Just read Lars' comment history, and take nothing he says for truth. Just a propagandist for his console of choice, and likes to bash Microsoft whenever he gets a chance.

If he really wanted to be helpful, he could take (literally) 30 seconds and check his facts.

Oh nice. 360 version it is. Thanks for the clarification.

That's BS. I don't lie and bash for the sake of bashing.

I bash any company's mistakes equally, and I state my well-thought-out opinions rather than just being a sheep like most people and regurgitating what the majority says. It's not my fault that MS makes a f'ing huge amount of mistakes. It's true though that MS is on my bad side more so than other companies... I've had to work too closely with their crap over the years.

Anyways, I did check for any size limit changes and found nothing beyond the initial cap raise to 150. I saw no such article on Joystiq stating the versions would look identical. It would have been more helpful for you to post a link or a quote such as I did.

But hey, if that's the case then I retract my comment. If both look the same, that's great! Play them on the console of your choice then. Choice is a wonderful thing.

I wonder if they will add a jump button for us in DLC form.

umm...that would defeat the purpose of the bionic arm...

...or were you poking fun at useless DLC that they could charge us for and make extra money? ;)

I'll probably get the PS3 or computer version of this (using my x360 controller for the computer--I hate kb/m). MS's DRM FTL.

does it include the original BC?

f***ing reply system--I think it doesn't work in MS explorer...firefox is fine...

Gimme!

A beautiful looking remake of one of the greatest games of all time. I am salivating at the prospect of getting this. I can't take $10 out of my pocket and put it in their hands fast enough.

Coming for PC? Now that's the best news for quite a while so far. If it's going to be close to the 10$ mark then it's a no-brainer insta-buy.

Guys, Capcom confirmed that the XBLA version of Rearmed will be the same as the PSN version. Microsoft gave Capcom an exception to the file-size limit, so PSN users can no longer claim that their version is better than the XBLA version.

Insta-buy.

Can't wait to play this!

Only information I need about this game is: "when I can get it?"

Disappointed no one wants to see Hitler's head explode in HD.
