I don't believe that exact line is in there, but there is a lot of similar banter between Jonathan and Ed throughout the game.Ghaleon wrote:I bought Lethal Wepaon 1-3 to tide me over for this, hahahaha. I hope Ed Brown is scripted to say at least once "I'm getting too old for this shit."
No one, haha. I'd leave it to the professionals. Come to think of it, maybe Harassing Answering Machine Message #4 would be fun as a cameo...Henry Spencer wrote:^![]()
I'd like a hand in that (the voice acting)! Who would you play, Marc?
FUCKING top-notch. After reading lines like that, the pain of waiting is unbearable, I tell you...Osiris wrote:"You piece of shit detective! You remember me, you little punk? But I've got news for you – this isn't over yet! Watch your back!"

That's the System menu you're talking about. It looks like this:Charlie Johnson wrote:Now I just need to know what the first option means and what the question means, when I'm starting a new game.
It's okay. We'd talked about it among ourselves a few times before. Basically, it would require a lot of work. First we'd need to find the right people for the roles, and I mean the right people. Then we'd need to make sure they all had access to the same level of equipment to prevent any sound differences. After that we'd need to reinsert that back into the game. The code for the speech would also be set for the Japanese lines, meaning the timing of the subtitles would have to be reset to match the new speech. There's also the fact that the lip synching would be terribly off, and there'd be almost nothing we could do about this. Then if the timing between the different versions is too off, it would affect the music and sound effects too.Ghaleon wrote:Man, didn't mean to open up a can of worms about a dub, was just musing ...
Thanks for the translation...but why did they implement an end game option when it doesn't bring you back to the main menu? About the card change...I used this function without knowing what it does but I just have one Memory Card...so that means basically nothing happened?Osiris wrote:That's the System menu you're talking about.

Card Change
Load
Save
Options
End Game (second option asks you if you want to save before quitting, like you thought)
I have a PS2 Memory Card in the first slot and a PS1 Memory Card in the second slot...it's a little blurry but that's the text that appears. I can take another picture if it's too hard to read.There are a few messages you can possibly get at the start of the game. Do you have 2 memory cards inserted? Is either of them full? It would help if you can take a photo of the screen.
I tend to agree with you, though I have found a few notable exceptions. One of which is the Goldenboy anime series. I think its dub is superior to the original Japanese. But with Policenauts, it's more about the technical side, and if it's actually possible, than how the acting would turn out. People would always have the option to go with the original Japanese voices anyway.krelian wrote:sorry if I sound annoying but really don't understand why some people would like to have an english dub

It's just impossible to re-create the same emotions as meant by original actors in a certain particular context
just give up the english dub idea, guys![]()
what I'd REALLY like, after the Sat version is done, is a PCE Snatcher patch
I suppose they figured you can just save and do a soft reset if you wanted to go back to the main menu. If you just have one Memory Card, nothing will happen when you use Card Change, yes.Charlie Johnson wrote:Thanks for the translation...but why did they implement an end game option when it doesn't bring you back to the main menu?

But you don't need an end game function for that, you can just save the game normally and do a soft reset at any time, I still don't see any sense in it.Osiris wrote: I suppose they figured you can just save and do a soft reset if you wanted to go back to the main menu.
Yes, it helps. Thanks.It's okay, I can read the text fine. It says, "This Memory Card only has enough space for 1 save. Do you still want to continue?" Top choice says Yes, bottom one says No. Hope that helps.
I know, it does seem pointless, but a lot of games had features like that back then.Charlie Johnson wrote:But you don't need an end game function for that, you can just save the game normally and do a soft reset at any time, I still don't see any sense in it.
Well lots of people who aren't into anime and stuff wouldn't understand why playing a game in a foreign language is preferable. I'm think I never would have connected with Metal Gear Solid, the SCD Lunars or LucasArts adventure games if I'd only played them only in a different language.krelian wrote:sorry if I sound annoying but really don't understand why some people would like to have an english dub

Well I know that I would love that! I can see it happening actually, since Marc says he does like the PC Engine version most. But I bet he will be exhausted after all of the versions of Policenauts are translated, ditto for the rest of the team like Artemio, Plissken and all of the others.Ghaleon wrote:Well lots of people who aren't into anime and stuff wouldn't understand why playing a game in a foreign language is preferable.

I've played tons of games w/ good or great voice acting and is a much better experience to me than it would have been in a language like Japanese, with a structure radically different than ours. Not to mention this is 2007 -- dubbing's come a long way.
I totally understand the opposite POV in any case, but it's not compeltely unfathomable that playing a great story-driven game like this in English would be great as well. I used to make fun of my friend for hating subbed Evangelion, and then I just started realizing in a perfect world it's nice to have both options.
Thanks btw Osiris, I'm surprised you guys got that far even in talking about a dub. I'm really fucking happy a Saturn patch is still your next order of business -- Stunner support! Hot!!
If you guys were up for it someday, I'm sure many many people (+ me) would love a PCE Snatcher translated.
I understand your point about making the PS version firstOsiris wrote: - The music changes when you finish the game a second time. Then the third time it changes to a radio drama-like reel, where you hear music and deleted lines from the game.
