    You Are Wrong, My Friend, this is not leet speak.

    @Bergerac: Nothing is worse than people from 4chan.

    @Geoff Capes: How long have you been using internet? A day? I think not so long if you think "his words (are) spelt wrong"...

  • SG79

    Humour is the best way to deal with the tragedy that was the commercial performance of the game. They could be working on a prototype to give a forced colonoscopy to whoever came up with the idea of resurrecting the franchise.

  • svenhoek: Fuck Fireworks. Ghostb

    @Kristopher.W: Then why even bother posting? Just move on.

    svenhoek: Fuck Fireworks. Ghostbusting.

  • svenhoek: Fuck Fireworks. Ghostb

    I didnt even notice the arms until I read a comment. Proof positive they always looked like hotdogs.

    @One Man Freak Show:

    They didn't look like hotdogs at all.

    /They were sausages.

  • excaleranth

    @You Are My Friend!: too 1337. tooooooo 1337.

  • redzie

    I remember when you banned a bunch of people for pointing this out and making jokes about it.

  • Geoff Capes

    @Chrysalis: OK, that explains the sausages, but why can't he talk properly?

    Geoff Capes

  • aeonpulse

    @Neer'mo: really? this joking picture is what might push you off the fence? i'd suggest looking up a video review or something instead. that just seems more... sensible.

  • N●Gage Croal

    Hmm... I don't see anything different here. Just looks like the earlier artwork with the orangey tubes.

  • Kristopher.W

    not funny, nor very clever.

  • ceilingFANBOY

    How do we know he isn't grilling hamburgers?

  • Chrysalis

    @Geoff Capes: While the game was in development, people complained that the cables on his bionic arms looked like hotdogs. The devs changed it a bit to lessen the effect, but now they're joking at their own expense. As usual, Capcom is full of win.

    Chrysalis

  • Geoff Capes

    I obviously don't get these internet in-jokes. Why is his arm all covered in sausages? And why are his words spelt wrong?

    Does he have mental problems? Is that the joke?

  • OmnomnomPancake

    @Ashurahori:

    And they still can't make it funny.

  • dansyndrome

    Booooo.....Now keyboard cat with a bionic arm, thats something I can get behind.

    @Pornosaur:

    "the great outdoors" ftw !

  • expansionsss - the jaded gamer

    @0xC001D00D:

    yeah def. hot dogs

  • monkeysaresilly

    Amazing! Even better than bionic proctologist. If only their games were as good as their humor...

    monkeysaresilly

  • edhe (xbl)

    @0xC001D00D: Yeah, early footage. Thankfully they changed that.

  • CombatDispenser

    @CombatDispenser: and this:

    CombatDispenser

  • Pornosaur

    It totally looked like hotdogs. Granted it looked more like the Wisconsin handmade kind than the factory processed lips and assholes "Ball Park" variety.

    Pornosaur

  • CombatDispenser

    He's got poop on his head, too.

  • Bergerac

    @RyuuzakiBjorn: Which is even worse.

  • RyuuzakiBjorn

    @Jellopnik: Nah, even that Grammar far surpasses 4Chan's. That has to be someone pretending their from 4Chan...

  • RyuuzakiBjorn

    @0xC001D00D: Lmfao, that reminds me of the Magician from the First House of the Dead...

  • borrowedchief

    OMG. Rofcopter

    hahaha...great :D

  • DragonNinja

    @You Are My Friend!: I think CAPCOM has you beat there pal.

  • 0xC001D00D

    @One Man Freak Show:
    Never thought that but now seeying in-game shots...

    [cache.kotaku.com]

    yum, delicious

  • Poison

    @Poison: *realized
    Seriously messed up that word.

  • Poison

    Never realicezed Spencer has a beard. And never understood how the old Spencer could become this one, even though he spent 5 years in death row. Just compare the classic model in the new game to the regular one.

  • Ashurahori

    @Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: Kotaku pushed the meme pretty much in every stinkin' thread about the game. It got VERY annoying, for me at least.

    Ashurahori

  • Jellopnik

    4chan in my kotaku. Well, i'll never..

    Jellopnik

  • dev

    @Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: I agree, it was pushed way too hard for such a weak meme (/resemblance) to begin with.

    Worst part it actually seemed to have a part in Capcom/Grin deciding to tone down the colour in the final game, removing all the contrasting pop of the orange - Great going towards removing what little color we have in current gen games?

  • ThursdayNext

    @One Man Freak Show: Yes you are, you're the ONLY person that thought that in the world. Everyone that says they agree with you is lying because they don't want you to feel like you're some sort of freak for being the only one that couldn't see hotdogs when they're right there.

    Hotdogs. Bloody hotdogs. We aren't supposed to talk about the bloody hotdogs, but there's a bloody hotdog winking me in the face. I want to c-u-u-t it off, ch-o-o-p it off, and make a chili-dog.

    This game has its nay-sayers, but I really enjoyed swingin' around like a ninja and throwing taxis at hired goons.

  • DarrenIndeed (xbl and psn)

    @Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.:

    I never saw it either.

  • Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Sc

    @One Man Freak Show: No, but in this case you are one of apparently few. I was mildly annoyed with how much kotaku pushed the meme though, personally.

  • icepick314

    almost makes me want to buy the game....

    ALMOST..........

  • Cavefish

    @One Man Freak Show: It never occurred to me either.

    I guess it somehow resembles now that they're forcing it..?

    Cavefish

  • Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Sc

    I still think you guys were -looking- for hotdogs and therefore you guys sure found your hotdogs...

    hotdog lovers!

  • kearneybobs

    @One Man Freak Show: Hot dogs. I dont see it. In the game, that is

  • Neer'mo

    Was tossing around the idea of buying it, that might push me off the fence. Good on you, Capcom!

    Neer'mo

  • WhatTheFrag

    Didn't realize he was just a big Wiener. Prolly explains a lot in the game.

  • Thomas Henry Ward

    @One Man Freak Show: Pretty much, no, you're not.

    ...

    OH WAIT, I forgot to mention why you aren't, yeah, I never saw them as hot dogs

    Thomas Henry Ward

  • You Are My Friend!

    It's nice to see Capcom trying, but their people clearly have no experience in this form of satire.

    I would have put,

  • spannu

    Sweet lord that looks delicious. But the picture doesn't show us his soft buns!

  • One Man Freak Show

    Am I the only one who never thought his arm looked like hot dogs in any way?

  • Deenight
