We talk animation and Danish bacon with Lars Bonde, the lead animator at Grin. Find out what turns a mass of polygons into a living character and how cut scenes get made - and in a special update, we'll tell you when you can expect to be playing BCR.
That little bit at the end is what you're probably most interested in right now. Here's the deal.
Bionic Commando Rearmed has been delayed a little bit - roughly a month. Ben Judd takes all responsibility for this, claiming he "Did not schedule correctly" as it does take longer for a game to be completely tested and given the okay by all the different territories around the world.
I think it's safe to say that despite his humbled reasonings - we can all blame Sony Europe on being slack - as you may know with Puzzle Fighter HD still not released on the PS3 in Europe. No actual evidence of that, but they seem to cause many problems for developers. They're shooting for June, lets hope it comes out asap! Just let Braid shine a little too, okay?
Also, apparently making themes sucks because each console has different specs and you can't show a gun in a theme available in Germany! Sheesh! Just have one of the blades be the exploding head, I'm sure that's fine!

Just further evidence that Sony hates Europe.
Thank god XBLA games (almost) always get released at same time internationally.
