Can anyone do a translation of some of the things he says? It seems by the excitement in their voices that they like the game, but it would be cool to know what they are saying. They also seemed to spend alot of time on it. This is great advertising.

Stephen · 09-28-2007, 05:47 PM

w00t, good advertising for FF

barronofhellion · 09-28-2007, 07:20 PM

well i dont speak german, but it looked like they were all having a blast heh

MightyLotu · 09-28-2007, 07:31 PM

funny.. they wer on the defending team waiting at the wrong gate at stage 2
they realised it a bit too late

groovyf · 09-28-2007, 07:43 PM

Superschon... "super beautiful"?, "gorgeous"?

Excellent stuff

Gigiya · 09-28-2007, 07:43 PM

Good that it's more publicity for FF, bad that the clips they showed were of a near empty pub before any combat actually started.

groovyf · 09-28-2007, 07:43 PM

delete me - double post

They mostly gave an overview of the game with regard to the classes' abilities and some of the map objectives like in cornfield. He regularly commented on how detailed the models look and a made brief reference to past TF games when saying there is no teleporter in FF. IMO this was a very favorable review. Although, it was a little funny when he tried to build a sentry gun, but couldn't (I don't know why, I haven't played FF, maybe not enough shells?) and quickly changed classes.

Funny moment how he handled that yeah "Now let's look at the spy.."

He tried to buid one from the engy menu, while the sg is in one of the weapon slots now.

Ok, here are some translated phrases:

"FF is quite cool"
"Graphics are excellent"
"The HWGuy looks quite cool"
"Water looks unbelievable"

They are very impressed of the cloak-effect and give some class descriptions.

Summary: They love the game.

Giga is well-known by gamers here in germany

SmellyCat · 09-29-2007, 01:08 PM

Cool, man!

paranoidkirb · 09-29-2007, 05:03 PM

If someone could subtitle and reupload those videos, it'd be great.

Camphlobactor · 09-29-2007, 05:33 PM

It was cool, but they should've gotten familiar with the game before air time.
