BC Weekly Field Report: #4Vote Now!

Gearoid Reidy, Sunday 29-06-2008, 05:35:24

Apologies for the delay in getting this update to you - there were technical problems in the field. But the good news is...

NES Soundtrack released for sale

The big news this week is that we’ve got some more BC music for you to blow your cash on – we’ve only gone and put a crystal-clear high-quality version of the original NES Bionic Commando Soundtrack for sale!

Because you asked for it, and we like money, you can buy it right here at Sumthing Digital for the low, low price of just $2.99.

Whatever about the BCR soundtrack, we certainly don’t expect to be making millions on this one, but there’s nothing wrong with a little fan service now and again! Unfortunately, it is not available on iTunes - we ourselves would have loved to release it on iTunes, but unfortunately their pricing scheme isn’t the best fit for this kind of album. We know we’ve got some crazy Bionic Commando fans here, but not crazy enough to spend 99 cents on a single 8-bit song! Er, right?

Plus – NES soundtrack cover

And since you have parted with your hard-earned dollars, we’d like to give you a little freebie – just like with the BCR soundtrack, we’ve prepared a CD cover and liner notes ready to be printed! If we do say so ourselves, if you’re a fan of pixilated 8-bit art you will love these. The liner notes are written by Ben Judd and the creators of some of the biggest Bionic Commando fansites – the guys who were singing Bionic Commando’s praises long before these new games were a twinkle in Capcom’s eye!

Click here to download the cover and liner notes directly!

The whole package is also available on the Fan Site Kit page.

Random Thing of the Week

While scouring the Internets for, erm, things, we completely randomly came across this fan-made 3D model of Spencer by 3D artist Teck Lee Tan. It’s still a work in progress, but we like bobble-headed super-deformed Spencer! You’ve just given us an idea for Super Puzzle Commando…

We wish we could put more pictures up here for you (grumble grumble), but this is one worth clicking on the link to see. Nice work Teck!

That's it for this week. Now we are off to rock out, 80’s style.

MAN, THIS SUCKS!

Stop acting like nothing ever happened! :@ What the FIDDLESTICK happened with the BCR launch-date??

When are we ever gonna be able to buy it? Was it just a mean trick to draw attention?

I'm fed up with all the waiting! I can't possibly cope any longer! I was promised May, and tomorrow it's turning July!

2 MONTHS OF WAITING IS WAY TOO MUCH!! So how can it POSSIBLY be delayed even more?? I would've been content if you actually had something to share with the rest of us, just a little taste or even a nibble would do, but lately the news have been completely and utterly rubbish and merely relative to either BC or BCR - AT ALL.

What's going on guys?? I even gave up listening to your podcast out of disappointment! :(

You can start gaining my trust once again by perhaps sharing how you plan on distributing BCR or even BC for PC? Using Steam would be totally fricking awesome! ^^

Look at the poll...

There should be some specific PC digital distributors listed there.

Apologies on the delays. No one likes them, certainly not me. But, it really is out of our hands now. Hopefully we'll have some good news soon.

Poll concerning PC digital distributors?

First, let me appologize for my rude post earlier. :S I kinda went berserk on ya. It's just hard to wait for something that I've been waiting for MY ENTIRE LIFE.

Seriously, I've been playing the game ever since I was three years old in 1989, and I am still playing it - every now and again. To be quite honest, I actually finished it three times since BCR was announced at first, by NES emulator on my laptop heheh... :P

BCR is my dream come true, and the fact that my dream has been delayed just makes me all FUDGED up inside, I can't WAIT to actually OWN the game! ^^

And now back to the main purpose of this "follow-up" post: you told me the toll displayed some specific PC digital distributors, so I checked it out.

The poll was ok, good and all, but I know what would make an even better poll. You should make one on mainly digital PC distributors, list the most popular ones and let the question be: "If you would buy either BC or BCR through a digital pc distributor, which one of the mentioned would you prefer" or something equal to that.

Hey, I'm not telling you how to do your job, you guys are managing that splendidly yourselves. ;) But I think that my poll-suggestion would show some interesting results, and may even prove useful for you guys...

Oh your god!

I'm way more hardcore that i realized!!! I just bought an entire album of NES tunes.

It is still awesome though, thanks for releasing this. Pure fanservice :-)
