The first one wasn't bad for what it was but horrifically imbalanced iirc

There's a fan mod for Halo PC coming out this month that looks more fun than anything MS has done with the IP since Bungie left, surely there is some demand for a sci fi arena based shooter with vehicles that doesn't suck

It's an RTS, unless the mod is significantly different from the original.

I love this idea if just for the gall of it.

I kinda want a WWI/WWII themed, GTA style open world game now. It seems like it would be fertile land for a variety of stories.

I wish they'd announce a new Bionic Commando, but I also don't, given that Capcom is going through the edgy "It's NOT a phase, mom!" phase

:allbuttons: oh, they announced a new dead rising instead of remastering the old ones that should really be on modern consoles and PC.


Peewi posted:

I can't imagine them trying to bring back Bionic Commando any time soon. Personally, I loved the 2009 game, but I don't think it or Rearmed 2 were particularly well received.

I think I might be the only person who liked Bionic Commando 2009, since I think you're referring to Rearmed/Rearmed 2 only.



I loved the BC game by Grin. It had legitimately awesome swinging mechanics that took skill to master, the story was totally over the top, the environment concepts were awesome, and kicking cars at people never got old.

While I do agree that I'd love to see that done, and done well, I can't help but feel that all you could really end up with is some Mafia-esque kinda game unless you turn it to 11 and create Just Cause '39.

Which would be sick. I'd play Just Cause '39. Go stick some Bolsheviks to T-34s.

I could see some WWI set game where your character is just a merc who is taking jobs for money and vague loyalties and promises from all sides about for their post-war rewards and future, set in some occupied city where you've got German' troops stationed, an underground French freedom fighter network operates, and some British and US spies and commandos sneak in to do covert work, etc. All sides offering to hire you for your services, none of them knowing how you are linked to every other side in the fight.

Your only real goal is to come out of the war wealthy enough, liked enough and powerful enough to thrive no matter which side wins. You take your ill-gotten gains and buy lands, titles, castles, Model-Ts.

BC'09's gameplay was great, it was a better Spider-Man game than any actual Spider-Man game thus far.. What wasn't great was the part where you couldn't go anywhere besides exactly where the game wanted you to go because RADIATION FIELD, and the terrible story / dialogue, and... you know... wifearm.

BCR2 was unmitigated poo poo, though. That game was loving terrible.

Yeah, the radiation fields had some annoying parts and it was a pretty linear game, but most of the time it all worked great and made for intense gameplay. Also, the stuff I bolded is also legit awesome, especially wifearm.

Take me at your own risk.

Kiss From a Hog
I would pay good money for a Bionic Commando sequel/remake with improved swinging mechanics, opened-up levels, and actual enemies beyond "some guys who plink away at you from a mile away and a couple robot suits"

The angst-y story and wifearm need to be left in the dumpster where it belongs, though.

edit: the fact that the game built up Mag to be Joe's rival and then had you clown her in a cutscene instead of having a super-cool boss fight where you use your arm to clothesline the gently caress out of lady-flash peeves me off to this day
