Capcom interviews: Benn Judd & The Rocketmen crew

Website Deeko has a new interview with Bionic Commando Rearmed Producer Ben Judd, which you can view here.

Deeko: Is there any sort of story continuity between both games? And if there is, how are you guys handling the back story so gamers who never played the original don't feel lost?

BEN: Again, I think we've gone a great job of tying everything together. I've always felt that BC was a franchise that needed a deeper world. So we have already put a lot of surplus information on the Bionic Commando community site Bioniccommando.com and we are publishing a serial comic book that shows one of Spencer's most life-altering missions that occurs after Bionic Commando Rearmed and helps set up the tone for the 3D version. A lot of fans of the original have been pretty shocked by how the 3D Spencer looks compared to the original. And trust me, I can TOTALLY see why the fans are. He doesn't look very similar. But there is a rationale for it and there is a back story that I think people will understand once they read it.

As well as this interview, Capcom have made their own interview with A.C.R.O.N.Y.M Games creators Daniel Swadling and Jesse Joudrey about their game and the recent expansion:

How did you come up with the name “It Came From Uranus” for the Rocketmen expansion?

JY: About an hour after a spicy takeout meal, the name just came to us.

FS: Actually, it was forced on us by the evil people at Capcom marketing, who thought the name would appeal to juvenile boys (our largest target demographic)

JJ: We wanted to call it something serious. But that just wouldn’t be acceptable.
