Oh sure! Just think of how much better a game like Bomberman would be if you could jump! Bomb thrown at'cha? JUMP! Weeeeee!

LOL.

lol Jumping in Guitar Hero would help too!

 

Who are you telling? I wrote the developers about that months ago!

"Dear sirs,

I believe that jumping in Guitar Hero would help raise sales and establish a fan base for this game against the rising sales competition from Rock Band. If players could jump with their characters they could jump into the audience and body surf. This could open all sorts of gameplay mechanics that could bring in a variety of players from other genres. Imagine jumping from the stage mid-song to land in the mosh pit with your guitar as you pressed the x button rapidly to perform guitar smashes across the heads of your fans? Imagine stringing combos together with other players online and calling upon power ups like "Security!" in which your guitar hero would summon security from all corners of the stage to forcibly remove wanton fans who had managed to jump on stage with you? You could even add the all new "jumping with guitar saw" dlc inspired by Gears of War in which your gamers could have a chainsaw attachment on their guitar to cut a path through unruly fans blocking their way to the tour bus.

I truly believe that a jumping feature in Guitar Hero would be the very element your game lacks.

Thank you for your time,

Sincerely and with best regards,

PANdaRUS"

Awesome!  Guitar Hero also lacks guns ontop of the chainsaw!

I just got the full version and havent been to deep into it yet, but this is to me the best arcade title every dropped.  This is the best 800 points one could spend if they are a fan of the genre.

I agree. The OP wasn't alive when the original came out. He has no clue what a NES even is and his first system was a PS2 im 100% sure of it!

 

LOL so true .

Dojo is a 4 letter word . . .

Well, the problem with adding a jump button to this game is that since it's a remake of an NES game that didn't have a jump button, the level design is obviously still designed around the hook mechanic and not a jump+hook mechanic.  So it'd make certain/most platforming and bullet dodging much, much easier and completely ruin other portions... like if you needed you arm extended as far as possible to make a jump, but instead you jumped towards whereever you had to hook from, making your arm shorter than necessary, etc...

Also, adding a jump button would remove most of the strategy of killing an enemy that's right in front of you.

People people people .

Bionic commando can hop , if you youngins didn't know .

Diagonaly attach the claw , swing and release early .

SHIZAM !!! He hops without hitting his head on the cieling and hops over barrels ,

cement blocks everything!  I'm sure all you older guys and gals knew this already!!

OK, Bionic Commando is the 3 installment of the original Commando games, what was named Commando 2 om Japan was re-named Mercs over here... guess what whenever you meet up with a truck in Bionic Commando, itreverts to the style of the original Commando game, it was like having a cameo of the original (sort of) within a sequel of itself. 

Clue #3 The other 2 Commando games didn't have jumping men either...  I believe Super Joe was who you played AS in the original Commando game, actually.  And in Bionic Commando we're saving him. 

The game is fun cause you CAN"T jump. The game was made to focus on you having to have skills to use the bionic arm. If you could jump in the game that would ruin the whole point in most of what the arm is capable of being there for. If you rid the arm that destroys the purpose of the game.  If you could jump I bet it would probally be so damn easy that it would lose it's fun.  You say it sucks you can't jump. That tells me you suck with the arm and can't learn to control something so simple at that. If you having a hard time not being able to jump then you got a long ways to go to understand good games. Heck some shooter games you can't jump. Rpg's how often can you "jump" or how about zelda 1 was there a jump you could use all the time "nope" but it was a good game. There are loads of good games without the jump that rocks but would suck if you could jump cause it would spoil the challange in the game.  To hate a game for not being able to jump I will say straight out. It's down right pathetic.

Seriously!!!

Can you really jump that high in real life? Like maybe 2 feet (if that).... Nobody can jump as high as mario exspecialy a guy with a huge Bionic arm..... Can you imagine how much he must weigh?

Honestly if you wanna jump buy N+ he jumps really *** high...

I have been banned till 2161.
Mod abuse to the highest power. Just another example of digital fascism.

your not that bright

This game is my favorite arcade game ever made in my opinion so w/ that said buy it !!!

GOD I WAS JOKING PEOPLE. I have this in my recent forums and its been here for over 4 months! Just drop it. I had an NES I still own the original gameboy.

Even though the OP says he was joking, I would agree with him about the jump button.

I'm betting the original didn't have jump because the NES only has 2 buttons!  The obvious choice between jump or shoot is shoot.  The bionic commando is a soldier, after all.

If they had included a jump ability in "Rearmed", the levels could have been designed around this, and in fact it could add a level of complexity. 

I played MP with a friend of mine on his PS3 a while ago.  I thought the controls were pretty cludgy, but I quickly got to where I could match or even beat my friend every now and then. 

In reality, a cludgy, clumsy soldier would be a dead soldier.

Obviously you don't get the fact that he's big, heavy and full of metal....
What did I say? How high can you jump in real life? 1-2 feet? 3 feet? Even if you can jump like a pro Basketball player its really not near as high as Mario, even if you had a jump button it woudn't help you out of the platforming situtions in BC RA.

The controls are a bit cludgy? Well the game got a 9.5 higher than N+, The Maw and Braid.
You can jump in all of those games.

From gamespot.com's BC:RA review summary page (for X360): "The updated graphics and new modes in Bionic Commando Rearmed aren't quite enough to distract from the cumbersome controls"  Gamespot gave this game 7.5 out of 10.  They also gave N+ 7.5/10 for reference.

Is he big, heavy, and full of metal?  From the screenshots, he looks fairly slender to me.  Does he have a reinforced skeleton?  I don't know the story.

And while we may not be able to jump very high, what about olympic athletes?  They can jump pretty high, more importantly, they can make some pretty long jumps too.  Creating artificial limitations on human abilities to accentuate gameplay gimmicks has never sat well with me.

All I am saying is that they could have had jump ability, and designed their levels around this.  It could make things even more challenging and rewarding for players.

IGN gave it a 9.5 I never read Gamespot's review.

But yea some humans can jump pretty far.
But if you played BC RA all the way through you would notice that not even a jump button would help with a lot of those platforming areas. Swinging only... Its how the game was designed and its genius.
A jump button would just sell out the whole thing... Exspecially the NES one...

No it shows how little I care about your opinions and that I really don't like the game. The jumping thing was just a joke.

That's a really funny joke.  You should start doing stand-up comedy if you don't already.

thats what I was looking for.  I just realized this came out for the XBox arcade.  I am a huge fan of the original.  I mastered it on Nintendo (could beat it on 1 life back in the day if I got lucky and shot the cockpit in the chopper while falling in 1 try).

I guess if its true to the original, ill get it.
