What on Earth does this mean?[edit]

"Joe then reveals that Spencer's wife never left, but is actually part of his bionic arm. In order for bionics to work, they need to be able to sync with their host. In this case, his wife would be the perfect candidate."

Can anyone rewrite that so it makes sense to someone's who's never played the game? They turned his wife into a robot arm? They put her soul in there? She's a figment of his imagination implanted by the bionic scienists? WHAT?


Having just played the game, there really isnt any way to make it sound better. Its revealed at in the last like 10 minutes so theres no time for explaination. At all.

It really is just his saying that his wife is his arm Renegade (talk)

Too many spoilers[edit]

I took out this piece of text, because there were too many spoilers about the story, including twists and the whole ending.

" As Spencer progresses through Ascension City, he finds that there is yet another mass weapon that is being sought after by the terrorists. Spencer is ordered to retrieve the item before the Bio-Reign terrorists can. After finally gaining access to the item, he is betrayed by Joe who reveals himself as the leader of Bio-Reign. Joe has also enlisted the help of Gottfried Groeder, an enemy that Spencer fought nearly ten years earlier.

Joe then reveals that Spencer's wife never left, but is actually part of his bionic arm. In order for bionics to work, they need to be able to sync with their host. In this case, his wife would be the perfect candidate. After this revelation, Spencer heads after Joe who has activated Project Vulture. A fellow Bionic tries to stall Joe, now in a Bio-Mech suit, but is killed while Spencer is forced to watch. Spencer finally beaks free, and heads after Joe. In a fierce mid-air battle, Spencer kills Joe and ultimately stops Project Vulture. Spencer falls back to the ground, remembering his wife." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.51.36.101 (talk) 10:46, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at any featured video game article, such as Bioshock. The entire plot is always listed, just in a brief format. --Teancum (talk) 03:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Remake[edit]

"Remake" is a placeholder til an actual release date is given. If it's, say, 2009, the title will be moved to Bionic Commando (2009). JAF1970 16:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In any event, I put up the contradict tag. Is it a "remake" or a "continuation"?

It's a sequel, but without a number. Changed to reflect. JAF1970 (talk) 02:08, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DO NOT CHANGE TO 2008 YET. There's NO confirmation on a release date. JAF1970 (talk) 13:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Bionic Commando Screen.jpg[edit]

Image:Bionic Commando Screen.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It's RAD not RADD[edit]

http://www.bioniccommando.com/en/pages/NG_Key_figures/id:1#content as said here on the offical site his offical name is Nathan "RAD" Spencer with RAD standing for Research and Development #1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.225.161 (talk) 00:26, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

assignations?[edit]

The article says that the main character was imprisoned for false assignations (which is the act of assigning), which really doesn't make any sense. I would change it but I don't know if it's true or just a type of assassinations. 76.28.156.79 (talk) 02:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's spelled Assassination, and technically he was prior to the start of the game. And that these group of people had busted him out. It's in the very first cinematic scene. Zeta Nova 22:10, 07 June 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Development and Heather Mills[edit]

The article quotes 'The Sun' newspaper in saying that Heather Mills asked for a starring role in the game and a six figure sum. The Heather Mills page suggests that 'The Sun' has been running a smear campaign against her for several years. A non-biased source needs to be found to back up the statement (the game makers?), or the statement rephrased/removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalkyrie (talk • contribs) 23:17, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

bad sales[edit]

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/994/994115p1.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.177.182.57 (talk) 19:56, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sequel Announcement.[edit]

I removed the statement that a sequel has been announced by Capcom. No sources were cited, and, besides the game's ending, no official reports even hint at a sequel. Currently, disappointing sales figures and critical response make the franchise less likely to receive a sequel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ExcellenceinArtt (talk • contribs) 19:21, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name written in kanji.[edit]

Why do you write also the name in kanji? This is a western game, only produced with Capcom money. Other western games (like, for example, Deus Ex: Human Revolution) are produced by japanese companies, but they aren't written in kanji on Wikipedia because they are obviously western games, released before in western countries. And also Bionic Commando (2009) was released before in USA and Europe. Now i will remove the kanji to make this article about a western game harmonious with the others of the same kind that are already on Wikipedia. If you reinstate the kanji, please explain that decision here below. --87.0.35.126 (talk) 18:48, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Poor sourcing:[edit]

The article uses a lot of poor sourcing, and I will be attempting to improve it. Examples would be, Moby games, steam, etc. Harizotoh9 (talk) 08:41, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
