ur a good speeler bashcraft.

LOL @ appeared :)

hawt dawggg

Add a little ketchup and mustard and those arms won't be that bad. =P

...wow, I just realized how much I don't like those arms.

They look too cold for me.

The hotdogs wouldnt be so bad if they were not TRAFFIC CONE ORANGE.

Or... just fix the goddamn arm.

So how does it work? One mistake and no change? Who's going to moderate it all? Is this for real? Why am I suddenly hankering for a Coney?

And why do I feel the need to speak only in questions?

They are tubes. You picky people wanting everything to look the same.

How does a studio get that far in the development process before someone tells them that the arms looks like they're covered in Hebrew Nationals?

I still don't see it.

it can't be that hard to tint the textures blue, or green, or... just about anything other than oscar mayer.

If you hadn't said anything about them, i would never have noticed. Now I can't stop looking!

I wouldn't mind a piece of that dog...

@Moonshadow101: that's what i've been saying since the early screens first hit.

the masses crave the generic and flat-out boring, so of course the majority of thick-skulled gamers are gonna hate and call the shit "hot dogs". get phallic objects out of your mind for a second and squint real good and hard at the screen shots. don't you see the detailed texture over the cables? the fact that they don't hang around nonsensically but rather come bundled together to mimic muscle tissue? even the long one that connects to his scapula-ish area on his back is meant to suggest that it works off fundamentals of human anatomy. (albeit exaggerated, perhaps.) this shit is so ridiculous. get over it and buckle your knees in anticipation for the title, dickwads.

The character design is absolute garbage in my opinion. Like we all remember Bionic Commando on NES starred Bob Marley and Hot Dog Arms. =P

So if the spelling mistakes are fixed, the hot dog arm will be redesigned?

Win-win situation.

They look more like earthworms FYI.

@TheBrianIsAstonishing: Exactly. Just make 'em blue!

Ring in the new year with the frank discussion? lol.. Did Kotaku help them write the description for the pod cast?

@TheBrianIsAstonishing: just because it's fucking bright orange? look at the color palette for the environments, juxtaposed to the characters..or is that too difficult for you?

simple fact: bright colors pop out next to dull ones. if they're going to keep his tanktop a relatively vibrant green and his pants a biege/gray, the arms HAVE to be a certain bright color in order to pop and flow with the gamers eye.

This should have read:

Insesant rambeling! Reesently, I apeared on Capcom's Byonic Comando podkast too discus gayme jornalisum, gayming in Juhpan end wye the hel Capcom shoold dich the hot dawg arms. The discusion got heeted, and Capcom promissed two ficks hot dawg arm in Byonic Comando if wii ficks the speling missteaks. No sweet!

so the highly advanced muscle mimicking parts found on the robots from I,Robot have black sausages then....? what the hell is wrong with you people?

@noyd_mcbennet:
Calm down.

@ceilingfanboy:
Cheers. Will change.

I don't know, maybe it's viral marketing at work here. Upon playing the game I just might feel compelled to have a cold beer, as I would eating any other BBQ food. Do I foresee Oscar Mayer Capcom Sponsored Weiners? Or is Capcom saying that the consumers of the English world are a bunch of ignorant illiterate assholes?

I'd go with the latter. We cud use proper sperring if we vanted.

@DigitalHero: i just dissaprove of ignorance. it's called color theory you idiots, look in to it.

@noyd_mcbennet: DURR BUHH ELITISM COLOR THEORY

@fatbaldnet: it's not even that hard to understand. it's "elitist" to you because you're obviously too lazy to give a crap.

@Gantz: It's not the tubes that look like hot dogs, it's that gaudy color of them that just stick out in every environment you stick them in, unless of course you stick them in an Oscar Mayer factory.

Color theory or not it looks terrible.

@noyd_mcbennet: Sometimes taking too theoretical of an approach at something can create bad results. Sure, theoretically this could be the best color scheme, but taking too much of a theoretical approach can cause you to miss the big picture of "hey, those look like hot dogs hanging from his arms"

I guess the best way to stay camouflaged in the woods is to have a bionic arm made from materials that are the same color as the vests that are required by many states to be worn by hunters due to them being an unmistakable color that pops out in the woods.

I think this whole Bionic Commando hot dog bit has turned into somewhat of a Kotaku meme.
Are you people really that upset about it?

Let it go. Breathe. Gooooosefraba...

@seiryuu: it's all a matter of opinion but certain alternative color choices could conflict with colors within the environments or on the character designs..don't just think about the wrecked city stage and little red soldiers Spencer is fighting. there's a ton of other shit we've yet to see. this "painful" orange might be the best if not the only choice to mesh within the rest of the palette for the *entire* game.

@chenry: It's just like the arrow in the FedEx logo!

@ceilingfanboy: since when is BC about stealth and blending in with the environment? this would contradict the very essence of the franchise. you're one dude unleashed on the world. it's about total chaos, now think about that in terms of color. (the dreads too, apply to this notion.)

im confused. what the fuck are we arguing about here? Yo Noyd Mc Bennett, when u get to the stand ask for one with everything on it, including sour kraut. tell' em i sent ya.

put your weiner back in ur pants and calm the hell down dude.

@noyd_mcbennet:
You so work for Capcom!

@zanzibarlegend: calm yourself down. just because i bring intelligence to the table doesn't mean you have to feel threatened. you want to be a mindless fuck gawking at the screen staring at some generic character within a generic game, be my damn guest. i for one am a huge fan of BC's art direction, so i feel like defending my stance. suck a fat hot dog.

BC is about killing nazis and collecting bullets for 8 hours straight so you can get your damn life bar to an acceptable level. I don't know what this new game is.

@Brian Ashcraft: no, but it would be a fun job =)

on a sesrious note im hyped for this game, i hope the levels dont underwhelm, i like what i see so far. hopefully we'll get a demo by summer hopefully :)

@noyd_mcbennet: by the way, i dont give a shit about the arms you assclown. i was just making light of the situation. you obviously must have some super genetical make-up in your dna that allows you drop idiotic comments at the drop of a hat. im so pissed human evolution passed me by. let go back to carving my wheel out of stone please.

Capcom wants to show that vast amounts of power flow through his arm so it doesn't look like some, some Superman hero. He isn't a big truck or something. The only way to show his true power is by using a series of tubes, orange ones.

MP4! Blech. It's been a long time since I had any reason to install Quicktime.

@noyd_mcbennet: I'm just sayin', if you want to go killing things, you shouldn't make yourself an easy target. That doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be perfectly stealth, but if you have orange arms, you might as well be like the British Army marching across fields to fight the Americans with big giant white crosses across their chests. The orange arms are a big target.

@zanzibarlegend: you talk like you know me, but oh wait, you don't. since when did we start slinging out personal insults? go cry in to a pillow.

@ceilingfanboy: but dude, this could be the entire point of the color choice(s). Spencer is so strong and so capable that he doesn't have to worry about how he keeps his hair or what the fuck his arm look like. if someone messes with him, whether it be a squad of troops, a VTOL craft, whatever, he mops the floor.

I for one think he should be bright green. And that this game should not be a re-imagined spiderman. And that developers should go for originality instead of badly resurrecting old IP.

@fatbaldnet: too much green going on, if you think about it. against his tanktop and say, areas
