I never understood the hate Bionic Commando got like yeah the story was meh but the swinging mechanics and gameplay were a lot of fun.

I don't get it either, but I also ignored it at launch, and only played it several years after because A friend had it and I could actually try it.

I’m one of the few that enjoyed and finished this on 360

This game was really hard to master but a bit of a revelation once you get how to properly traverse. I remember a really bleak ending which was kind of refreshing at the time.

I loved this game. It was pretty advanced, technically, for A 360/PS3 game.
Large, open environments that you could explore pretty throughly (at least from a geometry perspective) and a swing mechanic that actually took some skill to get good at... made the game pretty fun to play.

I also remember the final boss battle/encounter blowing me away, visually and conceptually.
Definitely a sleeper hit of the generation, despite all the hate.
Yeah, it’s no masterpiece, but anyone who thinks a medium needs only masterpieces is a wiener.

Bionic commando rearmed was dope and had a bangin' sound track a well.

Yeah. This is the best games in the series, Bionic Commando Rearmed. Such an awesome game, unlike its sequel, or the crappy 3D game, or even the original games from NES and arcade.

I never played any of the new Bionic Commando games, but looking at the clips from that video, some of the mechanics are very Spider-Man like. Capcom should think about asking Insomniac to do a new game in the series. They've already got the tech and design experience for really great swinging gameplay, and they have experience with traditional platformers as well. Given the time and budget, they could put out a great third person swinging platforming shooter and bring Bionic Commando back to life.
