The "Big Boss" mask is displayed in the pictures above.
Spoiler:
Actually, they should have called it "fake Big Boss corpse" mask.

Re: Feature requests for future versions

^ I agree. Not to keep going on about it, but I'm curious - what would a literal translation of those few lines have been? In the Tokugawa lobby: "That's right." In the BCCH lobby: "You suck at hitting on women." Chris' office in Act 2: "Alright! We can finally load it.&quo...

Re: Feature requests for future versions

I would have settled for a Buck Rodgers reference for Ed. The new series centered on Captain William Anthony "Buck" Rogers, played by Gil Gerard, a NASA pilot who commands Ranger 3, a space shuttle that is launched in May 1987. Due to a life support malfunction, Buck is accidentally froze...

Re: Feature requests for future versions

I knew I heard about the tale of Urashima Tarô before : they referrenced it in Cowboy Bebop (Session #18, Speak like a child ). How about a translation of Policenauts? To give you some quick replies, I used the internet terms because I'm imagining them as having fully migrated into mainstream speech...

Re: Policenauts Social Thread

Congratulations to the whole Policenauts Translation Project team and thank you so much ! :D

Now, I hope that (when I'll find the time to play the patched game) I won't go batshit insane trying to make it run on an emulator.

Re: Lucas Arts Adventure Games

I've only played to Sam & Max Hit the Road . The game was funny, but some of the enigmas were far-fetched and tedious, IMHO. I also have The Dig and Full Throttle , but I haven't had the opportunity to try them yet. I hope Residual will be fully operational soon, so I can play to Grim Fandango (...

It's the write-off part that I don't understand. What exactly is he referring to and what does it mean in that specific context?

Re: Policenauts Social Thread

The thing I disliked about them is that the way they are shown is far different from the way they are described in the movie itself (scrambled-looking persons), because the director decided to slow down the special effect : now we can clearly see the changing pattern in the released film. It's been...

Re: Policenauts Social Thread

I liked this film. (I didn't read the novel, though.) That movie is in a lot of ways the only way it could ever have been done. Almost entirely due to the scramble suits. The thing I disliked about them is that the way they are shown is far different from the way they are described in the movie itse...

Re: Policenauts Social Thread

I got a question. Why is that in there? It seems like the most pointless "joke" ever. MGS2 used the medium's particular qualities to manipulate both the player and the actor when they stitched their identities together. At the start of the Plant Chapter, Raiden's Commanding Officer (C. O....

Regarding the translation of SOTN, I don't believe the translation was bad. Well, I don't know Japanese, but look at this : Richter: Be destroyed! This world has no place for you. Dracula: I was not revived by my own strength. I was revived by humanity and their greed. The only justice here is powe...

At first, I was just going to create the overall guidelines and concepts for the project, and leave it in the hands my excellent staff.

And you haven't played MGS4? Interesting. I got spoiled when the game was released. I didn't like what I read. I'm not going to spend 350 € (PS3 + game) on something I probably won't like. I still think MGS2 was Kojima wanting to break out of having to make another Metal Gear, it was defiant agains...

with MGS1, if we're being awfully honest about it. That didn't leave any open endings, everything was pretty much answered by the end. Well, when you look at the Metal Gear franchise, few games have got a totally closed ending. The directors (Kojima, Nojiri) often left a plot point that could be us...

look at movies, no one makes original movies anymore, its all sequals and remakes, it's no different than games. With sequals and remakes is basically guaranteed money.
