Capcom of America announced today that the PlayStation Network/Xbox Live Arcade title, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, will retail for approximately USD 10 when it goes on sale in May 2008.
The news comes following a user poll in which consumers were asked how much they would be willing to pay for the 2D shooter, with the amount of USD 10 (the cheapest option) polling 83 per cent of votes.
Capcom’s Ben Judd commented: "2D games are a bigger risk (no, they are not necessarily cheap to make. BCR has plenty of 3D models and uses much of the same tech and physics as the 3D version) because they are a harder sell.”
"The poll says USD 10 so that’s what it will be.”
"Since the title will have to do quite well at that price point to break even (no, I’m not going to give you a specific number), I guess we have to roll the dice and see where they land,” he added.
The publisher said that it has yet to determine how much the game will cost in Europe.
