Not sold on the swing mechanic? Not a big fan of multiplayer but curious to see how it would feel set in the Bionic Commando world? Well now is your big chance. The map Vertigo will be playable on Xbox Live a few weeks before Bionic Commando launches.
Additionally, if you are one of those people who is too busy to be checking for new videos all the time on Xbox Live Marketplace you should definitely check out the video we have put up which features some footage from the Vertigo Map. I'm really happy to be able to make this announcement because Multiplayer has always been a blast to play and I have confidence that once people get their hands on this, they will see just how easy the swing mechanic is once you spend 10 minutes learning the ropes. Trust me, I personally am NOT someone who plays multiplayer games and even I like it which says a lot. Just hope that you don't get the PINK costume...
I'm sure a post like this will generate a lot of questions and requests... so rather than trying to field them one by one, here is a quick FAQ to clear things up:
Q1: Will the demo be released on PC or PS3?
A: We have only announced the 360 demo at this time. Any further questions on this point will result in a swift zip-kick to your ribs.
Q2: When will the demo be available exactly?
A: In the next few weeks. And not a day sooner or later than that!
Q3: Why doesn't this feature single player?
A: Honestly there are 2 major reasons. One, we have pushed single player at lots of events, put out a ton of footage, and allowed lots of people a chance to try it out. With only a few weeks remaining before launch we wanted to focus totally on multiplayer since it is also a great part of the game that we absolutely believe in and feel everyone should try out. Two, believe it or not, in focus tests, people were actually picking up the swing quicker in multiplayer than they were in single player. Perhaps is the fact that multiplayer is standard and people just know the rules right out of the gate and therefore aren't afraid to take as many risks, but for whatever the reason, it will be the easiest way to get up and swinging the quickest.
Q4: How many people does this demo support?
A: 8. Again, pray that you don't get the pink costume.
Q5: Will I be able to pwn the Gromin online?
A: After listening to Kobayashi-san from QA on the newest podcast about their stance on playing retail games they have tested, I have decided not to use my already superior swing skills to break newbs into pieces. It just wouldn't be fair. I am a benevolent Gromin.
Check back for more details as they unfold!

I'm feel that I'm man enough for the pink costume
...but I'll never buy an Xbox. I really don't want to be "that guy", but what is it that Capcom has against the PS3? c'monalready.i have been spamming for who knows how long!
since i have been asking about the theme song for like.. well since the game was first announced and have been spamming the site since then can i have like a personal download of it? :D cuz im the biggest fan of the orchestral theme and all.. LOL be nice to your fans!!guys will you just get it over with
Just mention a Demo for the other two or just say that they're not coming(I only have a PS3 and my name is my online ID)KOMOTO
I'll give you an A for persistance that is for sure. The only thing I can say is that the best things come to those who wait and you may very well get your wish soon enough!Ben
@Ben Judd
but i have been waiting to long D:Where's my PS3 demo????!!!
YOU DAMN FOOLS!!!!!!@ The Gromin
I better be getting that swift-kick to the ribs when that demo comes out. Xbox GT: Wickedneoq. This demo will decide which system I get the game for, 360 or PS3, so it better be good multiplayer "Swingers Club" fun.One more thing...
"I wanna piece of the Gromin!"
That sounds like a challenge Ben-Ben...
When the time comes, you'd best bring the thunder.I don't care, someone has to call you out.
Swift zip-kick to the face or not, I have to say that the absence of a PS3 demo just plain sucks and I own a 360 (which is currently at my sister's house). I know you've tried your best to cater to the fans Ben, but this is messed up.Money Talks
I have a 360 "One Sick SOB", but I'm sure since I'm not "A Gold member" I'll be getting the member and not a demo, I'll be getting it for the PS3 if at all, if capcom keeps getting the cash from micosoft us PS3 fans will keep getting the shaft from capcom and I only like giving it, not getting it.Demo's are for people who haven't been keeping as much track as I have
To tell you guys the truth I'm not going to play the demo even if it comes to the PS3. Gotta save the whole game for the day it's released.... I can't wait!Good stuff
ACTIVATE DA COMMANDO!Fear the pink bionic terror.
What do you have against the colour pink? I bet it'd be great fun to choose that and dominate everyone else with a username of "HELLO KITTY". Is setting a color preference an option, by the way? Definitely should be, considering the above.You ask why there is no ps3 Demo?
Because PS3 is for cheap butholes who want all online benifits( multiplayer, demos, exclusives)for nothing. You always complain about how Xbox live cost money and PSN is s0ooo0 much better because its free. Well, wise man say..you get what you freakin pay for.I personally beleive my 7 dollars a month is well worth it.
Great online gaming, FAST patch downloads, and exclusive Bionic Commando Demos! HAAAAAH!! Thats what you get for being cheap bastards!! Aahahahahaaahhaaah!
ok sorry that was alittle rude..but seriiously I'll be thinking about you cheap ps3 buttholes while im workin on my pimp swing next week ;]
Well ahbill
I personally "beleive" not paying 7 dollars a month and not playing with gamers like you is more than worth it.Console Wars!
Yeah ... keep on fighting... i own a ps3, xbox and gateway FX laptop and computers rock ... !!!and YES nothings better than FREE stuff ... so for all you who want to spend 7$ a month .. go ahead spend it ... its ur money not mine... I am just wise enough not to waste my 7$ every month on something that I can get for FREE.
Besides the fact that xbox isn’t as powerful as a ps3, its audio sucks on 5.1 DTS surround and on top of that u pay to play online when u can play for free you keep on being happy to get the game demo because you pay 7$ a month, I do would also agree with DeveilsReject there i.e.
Not playing with b|t(|-|@$$ |/|0t|-|3rf|_|(|{3RS like u ahbhill makes ps3 much more FUN.
But I still wont buy a game on ps3/xbox if its on PC.(personal choice)
You fu..ing troll. Take your little retarded flamewar sh*t elsewere, you moron.
Testing, testing
Is there even a fucking swearfilter in place? Never really got the point of self-censoring while still remaining entirely offensive. Censor bypassing seems even weirder.Oh... my...!
I don't lurk so much on the /us/ site ^^;(and don't really have any powers outside the boards)
Anyway, try to not kill eachother, guys! (outside of multiplayer, that is!)
Holy Sh!t!
Ben you already have my money for BC at the local game store, just waiting for the release. Although, do I have to wait to download the demo cause I don't have Xbox gold service :( Hey, I prefer PS3 - free online.Also, most importantly, Dead Rising 2 - Holy Sh!t! I am getting that game. Please keep the Japanese feel to it! Also, is there going to be a difference between the PS3 and Xbox version? Or is that just BS, I read somewhere?
