Bionic Commando is back, now in 3D, in the same universe he just got done saving. It's five years after the events of the original side scroller, and Nathan Spencer has undergone a bit of a change--he looks completely different (but that can be rectified, read on!).
His appearances are just about the only change that Swedish developer GRIN have made to the series. As I progressed through the demo made available to us, the team kept pointing out features from the original game that have made the transition. Platforms are the same chromatic scheme, enemy units have been updated rather than re-imagined, the whole process of making the game seems to have been an effort to pay as much homage to the original as possible. And to that effect, I must say I'm impressed."
The Humble Capcom Heroic Collection Bundle just launched recently. It has ten items including Monster Hunter Rise, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and more.
I took advantage of the $1 deal for lost planet 3, strider, bionic commando and mega man. 3 of them run great on my steam deck. bionic commando sadly does not.
ive left humble bundle long time ago the pricimng is now off as well as game collection. humble monthly used to be excellent but thasts also downhill
"On this week's episode of The 1099 Podcast, the composer at 10 Chambers, former audio director at Starbreeze, and man behind the sound design in favorites like Payday 2, Bionic Commando Rearmed, and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Simon Viklund, joins host Josiah Renaudin to explain how sound gets into games. Simon details what it's like creating both music and sounds for major video games, how aspiring designers can break into the industry, whether or not you have to capture all of your own original sounds, and what makes upcoming co-op shooter GTFO special."
Neil writes: "Whilst many out there will be hotly anticipating jumping on a plane and heading off for a summer break, even more will just be happy to kick back with a controller in hand, seeing out the summer with some hot and sweaty gaming sessions. And what better way to enjoy the delights of the summer sun than by picking up a new game or two at discounted prices.
