I don't need no jumping in my Bionic Commando. Now this game is nothing more than Super Mario Bros. with less turtles and more exploding-hitlers. Booooring!

Too much ground pound, not enough swinging. 
 
I hope this isn't as dumbed down as the trailer makes it look.

@RockmanBionics:   It doesn't bother me.  Capcom properly remade the original game.  There's no reason why they can't expand on the core concepts for the sequel.

The music is just terrible. They better go back to the drawing board or just use the first game's amazing soundtrack.

I can get used to the jumping but it also looks like it will be infinitely easier this time around.

First was damn hard, though. I need to go back and beat that final mission.

I think it's kinda bad when you get bored watching a gameplay trailer.
Can't imagine doing this for hours :/

Looks nice Capcom, now do this with your other arcade games to bring those back as they might outsell some of the other XBL/PSN releases.

Not digging the music nearly as much as I did in the first game...

It looked like it was set on "Super Easy" and he knew where everything was already, so I can't comment too much on how hard it might be.  Looks pretty snazzy, though.

I'll admit I'm a little skeptical on this, so I'm trying my hardest to look at this with no expectation of recreating the classic Bionic Commando that I (and almost everyone else) grew up playing. 
 
If anything, trying to look at this as a whole new and different game series. Like others have said, it's a sequel and they already re-made the original, so it's time to move on to something new, not just to remake the exact same wheel.

That music is horrible, it's like the sound was dropping out every other second, and made the trailer unwatchable.

Actually, now that you mention it, I think I have also not beaten the last mission in Rearmed 1 either. Maybe I'll load that up this weekend...

Yeah, I think they were trying to do something different with the music (I hope it was just for the trailer) that just turns me way the hell off. 
 
As for jumping, when I played around w/ it at SDCC & PAX, I was fine with it since I was mainly using it to battle one of Rad Spencer's common foes for impeeded progress, a barrel.  Now he can actually jump over or climb on them in addition to just grabbing them w/ the arm that was added with BCR1.  I still can't wait.

Was wondering why I was getting a downer vibe from this trailer. My Bionic Commando must be upbeat all the time I say. Power Plant and Heatwave Tracks all the time!

The guy playing that doesn't look like he's particularly good at the game. Like the slower tempo on the music but I hope there are some upbeat tunes on there too.

I for one rather like the music.

Of course, we only heard one song from the game, and that they played the same song twice was a bit annoying, and it certainly isn't as good as the best songs on the previous BCR soundtrack, but it's keeping the style.

Maybe it went a bit too far with the glitchiness and compressor stuff, feels more like an early boss battle than something that should be played during a normal level.

Personally I was kind of hoping more for a re-imagining of the original Bionic Commando soundtrack. By that I mean the arcade game that was ported to home computers, not the sequel for NES that the first BCR was a remake of.

Just listen to the C64 version of the original Bionic Commando soundtrack, it's ridiculously awesome, and a modern house/dance/whatever style rendition of that could be almost as awesome.

Yeah first one was awesome, I liked the song first time around but can agree that it does get annoying after awhile.
