Sweet game. Although I can't help but think of Spiderman when I see the character using the grapple. Does anybody know when the demo is gonna be out?

Jeff, Ryan, Vinny and Drew - Thanks for the hospitality. To Brad - eff you for working from home.  To those of you guys who dug the game - cool. I know a lot of the stuff we've put out in the past looked similar, but I'm glad we could get some 'sneak peak' action going.

If anyone wants to play any Bionic Commando online come May 19th, hit me up on XBox: TheBooya.

For those of you wondering, NO, I am not a PR guy. I worked on the game with the Grin team, and work in the Capcom US Product Development group (so I'm actually a guy working on games, not just talking about them). No diss to Kramer, he was a great chauffeur and host.

hm

i'm less excited about this game now
worm fight was pretty neat
combat doesn't seem as dynamic as it could be. it seems like if i played this i would be thinking "man it would be cool if i could -" the whole time..
i'll check the demo out.. not sold at the moment

It looks pretty good, though the shooting did not impress me. It doesn't look like it has a ton of impact.

I love the little things like the nods to other Capcom games, and the way weapon add-ons are sent to you by the government is a great way to take a way the "game-ness".

Grapple looks like a cross between spider man's web and lost planet's grapple. Looks rad though.

This looks awesome.
So, my views on this game haven't changed.
I've always liked the Spiderman swinging mechanic.

It's not a good sign for the controls of the game when someone involved with the game can't play very well.

I dont think this is a good way to show off a game.. there should be two people- one doing the talking and the other one plays the game... this quicklook only suggests that teh game controls suck...

The combat in this game kinda looks like a watered down version of the combat in Spider-man:WoS.  What i liked about WoS was the awsome fluidity of combat and this really doesn't look quite as fluid, more like your doing hit and run attacks on the big dudes and occasionaly throwing smaller dudes.

Still pretty excited about all the different guns you can use in conjunction with the bionic arm.

looks pretty "meh" to me, but after the concentrated awesomeness that was RE5, i'm willing to give capcom and grin the benefit of the doubt. at the very least it was a funny quicklook.

I think an AGE OF BOOTY re-match is just about due.

Or maybe I just want to see Brad drunk off his ass again.

Really enjoyed that quick look, good job guys. Gameplay looks really fluid and polished. And to those saying that this doesn't bode well for the controls, please go and pick up your favorite game, and talk non stop about it to one of your friends that has no idea about it, explaining every detail of it. Afterwards, come back here and say you played to the greatest of your abilities, with no problem doing both tasks simultaneously.

I would honestly prefer you didn't come back if you're one of those people that makes those comments, but it's good to learn a lesson now and then.
