Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 Requires Constant PSN Connection
Once again, Capcom puts DRM on the PlayStation Network version of their downloadable game.
The sequel to the 2008 Bionic Commando Rearmed released yesterday on PSN for $15. Similar to the DRM found in Final Fight: Double Impact, Rearmed 2 requires a constant internet connection to be played on the PS3. The game is unplayable if the system isn’t connected to PSN, reported PSN Stores.
The Xbox Live version of Rearmed 2 doesn’t have this requirement.
Unlike with Double Impact, Capcom included a warning this time in the PSN Store’s menu for Rearmed 2. The message stated, “NOTE: You must log-in the PlayStation Network each time to play the game.”
Rearmed 2 features a co-op mode, but doesn’t include any online multiplayer features.
The DRM is to stop PlayStation 3 users from gamesharing Rearmed 2.
Capcom faced a major backlash from gamers over the restrictive DRM in Final Fight: Double Impact when it came out in April 2010. No doubt they will face a similar response because of Rearmed 2’s DRM.

Not a big fan when companies pull crap like this. Seems like a big rip off.
