The concept artwork is almost identical to the classic artwork of Rad, with a few minor adjustments, such as the left arm still being a cybernetic replacement and the right sleeve being shorter, as well as the character wearing a glove.
The only such unlockable known at this time is an NES Bionic Commando-inspired Classic Commando skin, with concept art of the skin being shown at the end of the trailer, and its status as one of many of this kind of feature being confirmed on the podcast. Also, different difficulty settings have been confirmed, with one difficulty setting having enemy placement identical to the US version and another to the original Japanese release of the NES title.Įnemies have been confirmed in the podcasts to be much more difficult to kill this time around, taking multiple shots even on the lowest difficulty, and on the highest difficulty, they will also be able to jump, duck behind barrels or other obstructions for cover, throw grenades, and also shoot upwards, meaning that climbing upwards in a level without killing enemies does not always mean you can avoid their fire.Īlso, the game has been confirmed on the podcasts to be linked with the 7th Generation title in a way that, if you find an unlockable item in Rearmed (the example given in the podcasts was a special set of clothing), if you have the next-gen Bionic Commando on the same console, it will be available for use by your character on the other title as well. In addition, there are a series of Challenge rooms designed to test the player's abilities.Īccording to the podcasts, the maps and enemy placements are exactly the same as in the original game, although the enemies' AI has been increased. New features include 2-player co-op play, bigger bosses, increased enemy AI, and strength, as well as new weapons such as grenades and a shotgun. Rearmed was developed in conjunction with the upcoming sequel so that the designers could properly alter the continuity of the series to match the new ideas.īionic Commando: Rearmed retells the story of Nathan "Rad" Spencer's first mission where he is sent to rescue Super Joe from the clutches of the Imperial Army. It was released as a download-only game for the XBOX 360, PlayStation 3, and Microsoft Windows on August 13th, 2008. Bionic Commando: Rearmed is a 2.5D remake of the NES version.
