Bionic Commando swings to PC July 17 in EU, July 28 in US

If you've been anxiously awaiting Nathan Spencer's latest romp, Bionic Commando, on the PC, then we've got some important days you'll need to mark on your calendar. First up, courtesy of Eurogamer, we know the title will release in Europe on July 17. Capcom has confirmed with us that the game will arrive in North America two weeks later, on July 28.

The PC version of Bionic Commando will feature the same gameplay as its console counterparts, but will boast new features in DirectX 9 and 10 support, higher resolutions, customizable controls and online options. Considering the game only managed to move 27,000 copies on consoles in its first month of US release, we wonder how the PC launch will fare.

Capcom love delaying their pc versions of games don't they.

Devil May Cry 4 and Street Fighter IV are very, very good ports, though. The performance is extremely solid and they shipped with very few, if any, noticeable bugs. They were late, but at least they weren't shoddy.

I wonder how Bionic Commando will do.

I'm happy their giving support to the PC platform, with all the console fanboys raging against it for some reason and all the naysaying, etc.

Though games like Devil May Cry 4, Lost Planet, etc. use the MT Framework engine and development on the games start on the PC so a PC port is easy.

This game uses the Diesel Engine though but I think its still PC centric.

All engines should be this way so PC ports are quick and easy to make. : )
