It looks like Capcom is renewing the Bionic Commando into a new action game for the PS3, Xbox 360 and the PC. While I don’t remember playing the NES version very much the new Bionic Commando is looking very nice and has defiantly sparked my interest just from the fact that Mike Patton is voicing the main character.Full Press Release after the jump.
SAN MATEO, Calif. — October 16, 2007 — Capcom® Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today confirmed the return of one of its classic franchises with the announcement that Bionic Commando® is in development for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Sony Computer Entertainment’s PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) and Windows-based PC.
Taking its inspiration from its 8-bit namesake released on the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1988, Bionic Commando features Nathan Spencer (voiced by former lead singer of Faith No More, Mike Patton), a shining example of the technological advances made by the Federal Bionic Armaments Development Division. After distinguishing himself in a fierce conflict against the Imperials, Spencer is betrayed and falsely imprisoned by the very people he unquestioningly served.
