Well, let's just hope none of them little bastards turns out to be a tool of absolute annihilation, destroying every last bit of hope and dreams we cherished while waiting for this patch to happen.

5 is a nice, small number.

My PSX version of policenauts knows something great is about to happen. I hear it whining in the dark when I go to sleep.

So I played the game today the cut scenes are getting subbed right?
Please tell me you didn't try to do a dub lol.

Hope bugs don't pop up else where in the game after these ones are done.

Well, don't be such a snob, because the game is indeed dubbed.
Initially, Artemio, Marc and Slowbeef were to provide the voices, but it turned out that Marc and Artemio didn't have enough time. Long story short: Slowbeef dubs every single character. But he pm'ed some samples, and he is good. His falsetto voice for Meryl is a bit weird, but i guess it'll have do.

So psyched!

Bullshit.

Slowbeef´s falsette voice is the sexiest Meryl, EVER.

OMG don't be bitching cause I asked a fucking
question. Im was just curious about what they're
doing. Im not criticizing anything. Personally I
would like the the Japanese voices so the game
has the right tone and atmosphere like the origional.

For example Shadow of the Colossus kept the
origional voices and put subtitles in... im sure
that was because they didn't want to spend
money for voice overs but it worked really nicely.

Anyways I haven't heard slowbeef's work.
Either way I'm excited for the games release;
and I appreciate all the work they've done.

Nah, I've never liked Japanese voiceovers with subtitles, I can't be arsed reading that shit. I want there to just be English voiceovers. Get David Hayter to play Dave, and just keep slowbeef's voice acting on everyone else. Maybe add in ratperson's sister to play Karen, since I remember her being actually pretty damn good at it.

We actually had a discussion on this in a different thread. The voices are all going to be Japanese (although we did discuss what English voice actors would be good for each character...).

As for Shadow of Colossus, the voices in that were kept to keep the foreign feel. Leaving the voices in another language gave it much the same feel as Ico.

In any case (back to topic so Marc doesn't slit my throat), if anybody has any questions they should look at the different threads in the policenauts section, because most general questions have already been asked.

I am indeed redubbing and voicing all the characters, but I will be doing all of their dialogue in Japanese.

Firstly, they were taking the piss, man. Didn't you say...

They were going along with YOUR joke. Well, I am to believe it was a joke since you put a "lol" on the end. Then again, who means it these days?
And no, Shadow of the Colossus did NOT keep the "origional" voices in. They weren't Japanese in the first place, they were some made up language.
And finally, by his work, I really hope you didn't mean his voice acting.

By the way Slowbeef, if you met Kojima concerning the development of Policenauts, what would you ask him?

Settle down, internets.

Most of the questions being asked the past few pages are easily answered by reading through the first few pages of the thread.

Talking about Kojima, I remember an interview in some spanish magazine, ¿1999?. They asked if the success of MGS could help to see Policenauts in occident... it seems that Kojima didn´t want O_o Maybe he was centered in the next game... but... I was beary (*) disapointed ¬___¬

(*) Too much Bearsona 4

Now I know you will all want to be as far away as possible from this game once it's finished, but how realistic is the idea of seeing a Saturn patch any time soon? And is there anything you can take from your work with the Playstation version that you can bring to any other version?

Also, slightly off topic, in comparison of length with Snatchers, is Policenauts longer?

That has already been answered as well. Sounding like a broken record "The site and project will go on, we just need to find the people to help with that".

Well. I already met him, and all I could do at the time, instead of asking all those questions I had in mind, was to say "Ohayou Gozaimasu" with bad accent; since I knew no Japanese back then.

I met him and Yoji in December 2004 at a Snake Eater signing in Tokyo when I lived in Japan, but the project was in development hell at the time, so I didn't mention it.

Interesting account name, by the way!
