Released in 1988, the original Bionic Commando introduced a novel grappling hook mechanic into a stagnating side-scrolling 2D platformer genre. While the Capcom-developed game was highly regarded (and even named as one of GameSpot's Greatest Games of All Time), the franchise has been dormant outside of a 1992 Game Boy version and a 1999 Game Boy Color pseudo-sequel.

That's about to change, as Capcom has revealed to GameSpot that it is developing a new Bionic Commando game for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Simply called Bionic Commando, the new game will bring back the original game's hook (pun intended), with players able to use the main character's bionic grappling arm not only to navigate levels but to take out enemies at close range, rappel down sheer surfaces, or toss objects (like cars) at enemies.

looks cool, not sure if this was the big capcom announcement, but still good news anyway
 
If this was Capcom's MEGATON BOMBSHELL, then I think we need to introduce new laws about what exactly that means.
:(

This is highly "meh"
 
This game's not really gonna excite me in the slightest I'm sure, though I do like grappling hooks when they're done well (Lost Planet) its a nice feature in games :) whether you can build a game around that concept? who knows?
 
I am hoping the bombshell is both PSN and XBLA get Super Street Fighter 2: HD Remix next week.
