Capcom has announced that a multiplayer demo for Bionic Commando will land on Xbox Live soon.

In all, the game will contain 16 multiplayer maps, but the demo will focus on Deatmatch mode, the map Vertigo, and support up to eight players.

A demo for PC and PS3 has yet to be announced.

Game lands on consoles May 19.

Capcom’s put out a new trailer for the soon-to-be-released Bionic Commando, and it’s fair to say the game’s looking officially “better” than it used to. A good thing.

The movie shows off abilities of our hero’s robot arm, and it looks as though a ton of work’s been done on general presentation. Hooray for that.

It’s out in May.

CVG’s put up some direct-feed Bionic Commando videos from a near-final version. And here they are.

The game’s out in May. We would tell you what’s in the movies, but CVG’s videos always crash Firefox for us. So we can’t.

Shame.

Destructoid is reporting that Capcom’s Bionic Commando will “hit retail” on May 19.

Yesterday, Capcom also gave us a Japanese date of June 25. This goes alongside a Euro date of May 22.

The triumvirate is complete.

Dengeki’s reporting that Capcom’s Bionic Commando is to release on June 25 in Japan.

The action listed as May 31 in Europe.

Thanks, Kotaku.

Grin’s Bo Andersson has said that the Swedish developer has started work on three new projects.

The firm will talk to publishers about the games next week at GDC, Andersson said.

He said the meetings are “more to do with what we will work on in 2011 and 2012″.

“One of the things we will have to gauge is when the next generation will kick off,” he said.

“I think the financial situation has delayed the start of the next generation. I’m hoping it will start late 2012 at the earliest or early 2013.”

Grin’s Wanted: Weapons of Fate is due out next week, and the company has Bionic Commando and Terminator Salvation in the works.

Bionic Commando fans — your patience has finally paid off.

Circle the month of May on your calenders, because that’s when Capcom’s revamped classic is set for release according to CVG.

There’s no exact date for the PC, PS3 and 360 game as yet, but it’s doubtful you’ll be waiting too long.

Capcom’s put out five new shots of Bionic Commando’s multiplayer, as seen after the break.

Not really “feeling” it, to be honest. It’s out next year for PC, PS3 and 360.

Capcom’s issued sales estimates for its bigger games, putting expected figures on the likes of Resident Evil 5 and Bionic Commando.

RE5 will sell around 3.2 million copies, apparently, and Street Fighter IV will put in an appearance to the tune of 1.7 million units.

Bionic Commando will sell close to 1.5 million, says the firm, and Dead Rising Wii will hit 500,000.

Thanks, Kotaku.

An apparent first-quarter Capcom release schedule, published by MCV, isn’t anything of the kind, the firm has said.

Speaking to Eurogamer, Capcom’s said the list is merely retail guidance, and not a set date list.

The original information pinned Street Fighter IV as being released on PS3, 360 and PC on February 20 and Bionic Commando for a February 13 launch.

So you’d better hold those horses.

According to this MCV piece, Street Fighter IV has been dated as a February 20 release in the UK.

The publisher’s also confirmed a date for Bionic Commando – you’ll be getting busy with your metal arm on February 13, apparently.

Capcom’s Q1:

• Neopets Puzzle Adventure – Wii, DS, PC – January 23
• Bionic Commando – PS3, 360, PC – February 13
• MotoGP Wii – Wii – February 20
• Street Fighter IV – PS3, 360, PC – February 20
• Dead Rising – Wii – February 27
• Resident Evil 5 – PS3, 360, PC – March 13

Speaking to Kotaku, GRIN chap Ulf Andersson has explained the reasoning behind not making Bionic Commando’s swing mechanic an automatic affair, claiming the decision to make you press a button to latch on is all about “focus.”

“It’s not fucking Spider-Man,” he said. “We made a swing mechanism that’s not automatic.

“This means you have to focus a bit more, because it’s a proper mechanic instead of just a button press; it’s the core mechanic of the game. Everything in the game is built around that, from the environments to the enemy.”

Andersson added: “It’s really hard to do a good swing mechanic. Not many games have got it right. But we’re all really proud of ours.

“The original Bionic Commando was skill-based. There was a risk in jumping: you might die, you might not. We’ve stayed true to that core mood and feeling of the original in our game.”

Game’s out early next year. More through the link.

Speaking to Kotaku, Capcom producer Ben Judd has said a Bionic Commando movie may not be the stupidest idea in the world.

“I mean, we’ve already got action figures and a comic book; movies are a definite possibility,” he said.

“Capcom are active IP holders, they do a lot of turning stuff into movies, so yeah.”

That’s be nice, isn’t it? More through there.

On CVG. These came out yesterday, but we drowned a bit and they slipped through the gaps. We apologise. Bionic Commando’s out next year for 360 and PS3.

Capcom’s put out new shots of Resident Evil 5 and Bionic Commando, both on Kotaku. You know what these games are. You won’t be playing them until next year. Look at still images of them instead.

After the break. Go behind the scenes as Capcom brings Bionic Commando back to PC, 360 and PlayStation 3. See creative director Gwen Stevens tell about how the Bionic Command heritage is being upheld and all kinds of awesome stuff like that.

Watch.

Speaking in this TeamXbox interview, Swedish developer GRIN’s confirmed that Capcom’s Bionic Commando will have 10-way multiplayer, the lesser number hopefully keeping the servers “happy”.

“Ten is our target,” said a spokesperson. “The reason being is that I’ve done a lot of multiplayer games with 32 players, but the servers rarely seem happy. So, we were going for a game that runs optimally with twelve players, but now it looks like ten will be the sweet spot.”

If you hadn’t already worked yourself into a nerdy fervor over this week’s San Diego Comic-Con, here’s a nice little incentive. GoNintendo got its Gameboy-stained claws on Capcom’s Comic-Con schedule, and it’s a doozy.

Actually, it’s pretty commonplace, but apparently you’ll be able to “Meet the Bionic Commando & Mega Man!” Cool. Additionally, the Capcom booth will be hosting a Street Fighter IV tournament, as well as celebrity signings with the stars of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.

However, we can’t help but wonder whether or not Mega Man and the Bionic Commando will be entering the cosplay contest. Isn’t that a tad unfair?

Yeah, anyway. Hit the link for the full schedule.
