Capcom and Grin have teamed up to remake the classic title for the PS3, PC and Xbox 360, with a load of new features to introduce new players to its excellent gameplay. We went hands on with the game at this year's GDC to see just how Nathan "Rad" Spencer's first mission has translated to this new generation of consoles.
For nostalgia fans, the game is practically level identical to the classic NES game. In fact, Ben Judd, the producer for the title, told us that Rearmed is 90% exact to the original game layout. There are three major changes that have been made to upgrade the gameplay, however. First of all, players will not collect bullets to upgrade your health anymore. You'll start off with a larger amount of health and will be able to replenish your health with pickups. The second change is that enemies will comprise three different types. If you fire a specific weapon at an opponent and they flash red, they're weak to that gun, whereas if they flash yellow, they're strong or invincible against that weapon. The final change is that most of the bosses have been redone. While there will be some classic bosses that you'll face off against (because it wouldn't be Bionic Commando without these fights), the majority of the boss battles will be new.
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.

"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.
