In the latest Kojima Productions Report podcast, producer Ryan Payton announces that MGS4 won't have voice over tracks for other languages. Says Payton:
Unfortunately because of disc space, we don't have the space to include other languages, other voice over files for the respective versions. So the Japanese version's not gonna have English VO, and the North American and European versions won't have Japanese VO.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Because they didn't have space?? on a blu-ray?? that tells me the MGS is going to be MASSIVE!!!
...using a single layer 25 gig Blu-ray disc.I guess an extra language VO isn't worth going dual layer 50 gig.
I kinda woulda hoped they could store the original Japanese voice overs, though i've also gotten atached to the American localized crew. Lost Odyssey has five languages, Japanese German Italian French and English. Maybe that's too many, but FYI I have terrible memories of using the "swap" trick to get ole PS to play non-ntsc games, and subsequently falling to the "mod chip" for its similar abilities. MGS4 without Japanese voices? I'd probably still buy anyway.
wow....this game must be seriously epic in every sence of the word to fill up all that space. Can't wait to take snake through his final mission. This is going to be fantastic.
I wouldn't care. The game in English is all I want. MGS4 FTW!!!!
