The developer walkthrough provided for Capcom's upcoming swing-action retro remake,
Bionic Commando, is one of the most educational videos yet to come out of the
Leipzig Games Convention. Not only does the two-part sneak preview
explain some of the game's core controls, but it also provides a valuable primer into the German language. For instance, we now know that the German word for "leap" is "sprung", "punch" is the phonetically pleasing "schlag", and "wenn dieser Entwickler hinunter sagt, und beschmutzt noch eine Zeit, werde ich ihn in Brand setzen" means "if this developer says 'down and dirty' one more time, I'm going to set him on fire."
Both halves of the walkthrough are posted after the break.
The first part focuses on a rough build of the game's training stage,
while the second highlights one of
Bionic's multiplayer levels. Auf was warten Sie? Klicken Sie die Verbindung!

That looked really cool, when was the release date for this again?
Sora @ Aug 23rd 2008 2:14PM
Sadly, the only German I know is "Sieg heil".

"und wenn der entwickler noch ein einziges mal "down and dirty" sagt, dann stecke ich ihn in brand"
@sora
try "ich bin ein dummer amerikaner"
JAmerican @ Aug 23rd 2008 3:13PM
All I got out of that German was "dumb American" lol
invaderalex @ Aug 23rd 2008 3:36PM
Go google translator
"and if the developer a single time" down and dirty "says, then I put him in spirit '
@ Sora
try "I am a stupid amerikaner"
Sora @ Aug 23rd 2008 4:05PM
Actually, I'm not American, I just never bothered to learn German.
Vous êtes un retard stéréotypé.

The only German I know is from Call of Duty games, Rammstein songs, and the stuff that I magically spoke completely fluently when I woke from anesthesia one time

Ich bin huhn gewürzte nudeln???
That makes no sense...
= "I am chicken spiced noodles"
what?

A real good concept the game looks great but you can tell the best ratings its going to get is 8.5-8.9 from the looks of things.
It just doesn't have the productivity of a AAA title. Hopefully they release it next year or else it'll be lost in the holiday rush...
zuburi @ Aug 23rd 2008 11:59PM
I don't understand what you said. Does hanging out at Gamestop all day qualify you to label a game as "AAA?"
Eh @ Aug 23rd 2008 4:21PM
Im surprised, this actually looks really good. I was starting to think it was going to be just another halfassed rehash of an old license, but this looks like a game that will score in the 9's.
theturtle363 @ Aug 23rd 2008 5:23PM
it would be 10s if the main character didnt look like such a douche
ice~ @ Aug 23rd 2008 9:54PM
@TheTurtle, i agree but, there is a code you get from Bionic Commando Rearmed that gives you the original character, Spencer Radd, not the rasta douchebag that your talking about :D
abc-man @ Aug 24th 2008 8:57AM
It's Capcom, so I'm not surprised..
Marvelli @ Aug 23rd 2008 6:47PM
Strange the commentary is in German as the developer is Swedish. Something clearly doesn't match here 100%. (Somebody needs to do their homework obviously ;))
Faar @ Aug 23rd 2008 8:10PM
Perhaps it has something to do with that the presentation was held at the *Leipzig* Games Convention, a city which last time I checked was not located in Sweden... ;)

"if this developer says 'down and dirty' one more time, I'm going to set him on fire." = "wenn dieser Entwickler hinunter sagt, und beschmutzt noch eine Zeit, werde ich ihn in Brand setzen"
So wrong...
The correct translation would be: "Wenn der Entwickler noch einmal "down and dirty" (there's no real expression for this in German, maybe "auf die harte Tour") sagt, dann setz ich ihn in Brand"
Bournie @ Aug 24th 2008 8:57AM
The last german sentence makes really no sense and is just wrong...
The translation for "one more time" is NOT "noch eine Zeit". (Even though from a certain view of strict vocabulary translation it's right...but no one says it that way). The right translation is just "noch einmal". No time (=Zeit)...
And "down and dirty" has no real reasonable expression in German at all. Probably kinglekz's translation "auf die harte Tour" is right.
Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache....

There isn't much hype around this game for some reason, it hasn't been shown by the media very much (comparing to other super hyped titles like star wars force unleashed, mirror's edge, and many others).
But it looks like it could be the year's winner. If not it certainly has some of the greatest & most atmospheric environments created, alongside with fallout 3. And the animation is amazing, nothing like the ninja gaiden, snappy insect -like animation of force unleashed which really disappointed me.
RancoR @ Aug 25th 2008 4:53AM
lol, gehtst du zu aldi und kaufst dir tüte deutsch für 5 geld...
and once again, google prooves that its translator sucks... bit I guess its alright as german really is a difficult language, most of the native speakers have problems with the grammar (me for example^^)
plus I think its great that you can learn a bit here ;-)
though i first had to read the english version to understand the translation *g*
