If that was the case, shouldn't it be silver? Unless they changed the color for the NES release...

Why should Capcom fix something that was never broken to begin with? The color was used as a throwback to the original Bionic Commando. Learn your gaming history.

@Strangelove: I completely agree. I am horrified by how much this game is going to suck. I think it would actually be rather easy to get it right. I think they are trying to hard to lure some fresh populace or target market. They just need to scrap it and start over.

The tubes don't bother me. If they weren't that thick I wouldn't believe they could stretch (and get thin, poisson's ratio for the win) as far as they do.

Of all the things to be worried about for Bionic Commando, the hotdog arm is the least. I'm going to laugh my ass off when the game comes out, sans hotdog arm, and everything else sucks. "Well, we changed the hotdog arm!" Yes, Crapcom, you did.

it seems that the orange on the arm is to bring attention to the main weapon in the game, which is his arm. i just hope capcom play around with diff ideas. i mean its not like the game is coming out tomm. maybe a complete grey scheme with some orange detal on the arm would be interesting. i dunno, i feel like we're splitting hairs here.

I like how they can't understand why we bash it so much, when they took one of the best games for NES, threw it in a blender, took a dump in said blender, then hit liquefy. Original game was about a guy with an extendable arm, used to grapple onto objects, all in his great pursuit to rid the world of Hitler. Now we are stuck with this shitfest of a game, portraying a politically correct multiracial hero.

Times like this make me wonder if they do this stuff on purpose just to further rape our childhood memories.

@Akanubon: Its the bright orange. Bad contrast to the rest of the arm. I can understand why they did it, to make it more "visually appealing" since in the gameplay trailers the orange stands out a lot more on his arm making it look "cool" and all. But in screenshots, it just looks terrible.

Toasticus — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 23:38:59 MST

The intention may have been to mimic human musculature, but mimicry of hotdogs is the impression most people seem to get instead. The tubes should be colored more neutrally or changed to a more sinewy form (i.e. not tubes). If using color to call attention to the arms is so important, make the chunky metal parts painted orange instead.

@noyd_mcbennet: Taste doesn't require a BA in anything. It looks bad. Stop trying to beat people over the head with 'color theory'. It looks like a pack of god damn hot dogs is wiggling all over his arm. It looks like he's gonna grab enemies with the arm and then force them to choke on the hot dogs. Or maybe he'll have a hot dog throwing attack with his non-hotdoggy arm. Or perhaps you can get a powerup that makes the hotdogs bigger. Also the protagonist should be replaced by a fat guy with hot dogs on the back of his neck. That'd be good design right? Maintaining a design decision across different aspects of the character? Please educate us.

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.

@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.

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

Win-win situation.

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

@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.

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

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?

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?
