UPDATE: Due to the massive amount of comments (thanks for the goodies, John D), we have disabled the comments section of this post to keep things running smoothly.
First of all, happy two year anniversary PlayStation Blog!
So to celebrate, we’re going to make good on a promise we made a while back. After all of the constructive (sometimes, brutally constructive) feedback from the community, Capcom USA and GRIN decided to go back to the lab and work on an update for Bionic Commando Rearmed. But wait, it gets deeper. Not only are we adding trophy support (that’s right son), those over-delivering, son-of-a-guns got a little crazy and are offering a bit more:
New “Normal” difficulty setting. In this setting, the following changes are made:
- When you die, you respawn at the last solid ground or checkpoint
- The level Albatross B was cut
- The ability to reel out the cable when hanging or swinging to its full length
- If the player swings into a wall, they will no longer disconnect and be thrown away from the wall. Instead, they will keep connected and reel in
- Unlimited lives
Super Joe Machine Gun bug fix:
- When upgraded, the weapon also becomes more powerful in addition to the larger clip
- Fixed for all difficulty levels.
I hope all of you recognize the important role you play in helping us make better games. Our dialogues on PlayStation Blog and the Capcom Unity forums were the primary motivators for this update, and as long as this open communication is done constructively, good things can and will happen (Honestly, all the Eff Crapcom stuff didn’t help the process, lol). We may not be able to follow through on every request from the community, but I guarantee you, we are listening. Thanks to all of you for the feedback and the involvement, please keep it up!
So, to recap, the score is:
Vocal PS Community – 1
Vocal Capcom Accountants – 0
When does the update go live you ask? Well, it’s currently in QA, so it should be available real soon.

This is sweet, too bad you don;t do it for streetfighter…
Yay! Campcom, I’ll consider spending money on your games again. Finally, the promise has been fulfilled!
Regarding the crashing, I have had a couple times, and people say it’s usually during the challenge rooms, that the game will actually freeze while it’s saving the game. Obviously, this crashes the game. It doesn’t happen TOO often, but I don’t want to have to backup my save data so often just in case. :(
Great game though, don’t get me wrong. :D
Wow codes go fast, are they universal so work in other countries or just USA?
holy [DELETED] I could use a free flock code for ZA TROFEES COLLECZION.
please….250
Infinite lives and checkpoints? Holy crap, you just fixed every complaint I had about this awesome (but impossible!) game! Thanks so much Capcom!
damn straight I lost lol.
I have to get a filter of Codes from John that automatically enter in my PS3, or else all the other Capcom ninjas will enter before me!
I punched it in at like 2 commenters lol. People mustve RAN !!! were they for BC? Cause I already have it if that was that was the case then i didnt really lose, I just had more time playing it then they did ;)

Great news…Kudos for listening to the community.

wow i have to say i am really proud of you guys. thank you so much. i will say it sucks it took this long but atleast you are keeping your promise. i will now start spending money on capcom games LOL.
i am really stoked because this will give me a reason to go back and play again. thanks again.
I hope I have better luck and the blog doesn’t freeze like last time :(
There is a Portuguese saying which goes something like this: Shall the water constantly hit the rock, then shall the rock finally break.
I think it applies here, no? :)
I’m glad I got this game when it was on sale for 5 bucks. lol
Now I have even more reason to play it eventually. I still play SFIV & RE5 like crazy.
Sad face
Hey John just wondering if those new changes will be on the 360 version as well? (minus the trophy part of course)
It’s about damned time, John! *laughs* What’s up, man; been awhile. Looking forward to getting LP2 when that comes out. Because it’s your favorite price, I know you’ll have it, so the question is, will you be playing online?
Long time man. Man, the LP2 Anus Monster is disgusting but very cool.
