Troy Baker confirms Tales of Vesperia PS3 localization (in video)

Scrawl: "Tales of Vesperia’s Troy Baker, who plays protagonist Yuri in-game, has confirmed that Tales of Vesperia for PlayStation 3 is coming to the west in the past. However, after eight months of release in Japan, Namco Bandai has yet to announce the game for localization.

A video filmed back in April has been brought to my attention today. Apparently, none of the net picked this up, but here it is. The video shows Troy Baker during a Q&A session at Sakura-Con 2010 where he confirms Tales of Vesperia PS3’s localization. He even says himself that he doesn’t understand why Namco Bandai have yet to announce a street date for the release."

Not a big fan of tales, and I've lost interest on this game since yesterday, so meh. If it comes, it comes.

Yi-Long5081d ago

... not a big fan of 'localization'. We just need some english subs and we're good to go, but somehow 'localization' often means there is content cut that 'we in the west wouldn't be able to understand' and it means waiting over a year so we have the option to play with a horrible dub.

And that's when we're LUCKY, cause often they don't even make it an 'option', but mandatory to play with the horrible dub, cutting the original voices out :(

This complaints goes for movies as well btw. How many great asian movies have been butchered 'for our liking'!? Too many.

I laugh so hard when ever someone invokes the words "horrible dubs".
They aren't as bad as you imagine if you understand the original.

Raf1k15081d ago

I think what he means by "horrible dubs" is not the quality of the translation (which is usually fine) but the quality of the voice acting.

kingdavid5081d ago (Edited 5081d ago )

The game was already localized for 360 so i could imagine it shouldnt take too long for ps3???

PS the voice acting was quite good for this. Way better than the horrible job tri ace did for star ocean 4.

Redempteur5081d ago

Some dubs are horrible because they just miss the context of the scenes dubbed . ( ar tonelico )

Other are just bad because they try to hard (so4)

in fact for rpgs japanese dubis often better because the voice actors are WAY more invested in their work

ChickeyCantor5081d ago

Played the 360 version, voices aren't bad at all =).

To bad the Ps3 version offers more features....not that i ever got Over limit 3 or above...still good game though;

Plus Rita can do INDIGNATIOOOOOOOOOOOn.

My bet is they will announce it at E3 for a quick release a few weeks to a month after the show. Makes the most sense. I can't wait to play it on PS3 and see all the new stuff added and all the extra voice over they added(which was supposed to be a crap load if I remember correctly.

xskipperx825081d ago

It ain't happenin' Hacker 2021.

Godmars2905081d ago

Bit odd, and very frustrating, for it to take this long to come out.

knightdarkbox5081d ago (Edited 5081d ago )

Just get the 360 version, I recently played it and it is a great game. Anyway i hope ps3 fans enjoy this amazing game..

Sigh5081d ago

Get the 360 version? Lol even the die hard Tales of Vesperia fans from the 360 version want the ps3 version because of the extra addons. Just stfu troll.

PandaJenkins5081d ago

He is trolling because the PS3 only has some extra content and thinks those with 360's who want to play it shouldn't wait and just get it? I played through all of it on 360 and it was fantastic. I had to wait ages for the PAL release and I wouldn't have wanted to wait longer just to get a loli pirate girl and various other small content. Really anyone who just says the 360 version sucks cause it doesen't have 'bonus' content is a troll. The 360 version is a complete game, so quit your fanboyism.

In all seriousness though for those with only PS3's, definitely worth playing if this happens. It is a great JRPG. Who knows how long it will take though, in the 360 case like I said it took forever to get a release in PAL countries, especially here in New Zealand :/.

aaronisbla5081d ago (Edited 5081d ago )

it actually has a significant amount of extra content, i remember being on forum boards for that game and hearing quite a bit of bitching cuz of the extra content not being on the 360 version. Its not like its just a bonus weapon or an extra outfit either

SaiyanFury5080d ago

I actually have been waiting for this since I knew the 360 version was coming out. I knew it would have a crapload of content, so I waited. If I knew for a fact that a PS3 version would not be released I would've gotten it for my 360. However, since Namco's performance with Eternal Sonata and it's "no plans for a PS3 version" I figured I'd see what happens. True to my believe there is now a PS3 version is Japan, and now it's apparently confirmed it's coming to the west. I'm glad I waited. :)

zatrox5081d ago

Oh what?
If this comes out then, YAY! finally.
If not...thanks for screwing with us again, Namdai.

"Let Me Solo Her" Receives A Special Award From Namco Bandai For His 1000th Victory Against Malenia

Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.

Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"

Nice to see an healthy online behavior to be recognize by the dev teams.

But man.... How many hours did he spent playing Elden Ring? Not sure it's that healthy in real life 😂

But still kuddo to him :)

Are you Okay??? The thumb is from Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

SDuck1159d ago

At least it's the right franchise

fr0sty1159d ago

TTT is one of my all time favorite games, but I always found its soundtrack to be terrible. I'd mute the music and put my own on.

deleted1403d ago

I really enjoyed this article, it was a good read. This quote gave me a chuckle, because it's true!:

"Pretty much every JRPG involves the player’s characters going from barely being able to lift a sword to killing God"

indysurfn1402d ago

LOL...exaggeration but I get your just making a point. No one can Kill God. Don't drink Satan's cool-aide he is just trying to recruit you (backwards recruit)

Tross1402d ago

He probably only has the grape kind anyways. All the folk up in heaven surely hog all the good flavours.

BrainSyphoned1402d ago

Final Fantasy 15 the ultimate delayed game with delayed story dlc shoveled in at the last second. Doesn’t ring the gratifying bell when I see that stupid car at all. Article+thumbnail is like describing a 5star meal while watching your cat clean its backside.

More specifically I would say JRPGs are progressive gratification. Basically like listening to prog music vs anything else which imo is the best. Even if a JRPG is all about the journey, generally speaking JRPGs keep getting better as opposed to other games which usually have their high points come in either too soon, or the best parts just aren't nearly as impactful.

indysurfn1402d ago

Also don't forget the direct comparison that the old Square Enix president made. He said Western players like TWITCH games and eastern players love Cerebral games. Now it was taken as a racist slam. But he meant it as one of the reasons outside of development time and cost return on investment(ROI). But he had a true point people here are TRAINED to like instant stuff. And people there are trained to like delayed over the top stuff. It is not a intelligence slam. I'm glad I LOVE the later gratification! Because it is way better!

iofhua21402d ago

I like JRPG's for the big anime tiddies.

indysurfn1401d ago

lol.....I stand corrected!
