What will you guys do about the fan translation? Will you stop it? Please don't ;_; I don't have a PS3...
OMG sauce plz!!!!

Maybe they're trying to counter attack the fanmade translation now. :lol:

But I doubt it.

Yeah, it was. He drew all the original artwork for the game. The artwork you see in the console versions was drawn by other people.

Yeah, I figured that. The console stuff's by a designer at whatever studio did the anime cut scenes.... I love Kinoshita's stuff, real oldschool... I wonder what else he's done, save for Deadly Arts and TMNT: Tournament Fighters.

I'd like to know more about this as well. I've been looking all over for news on an announcement regarding this, yet I've found nothing.

Edit: ah, now I get it. Nevermind.

I don't. :lol:

But hey, about the artwork; can you give me any details on who exactly drew it in the actual game? Do you know?

Today is April 1st...

Here are the names of the artists (from the Credits section of Policenauts.net), though I don't know exactly who did what for all of them:

Hajime Katoki [PC-98 mechs and vehicles]
Akio Kawamura [redesigned characters]
Tomiharu Kinoshita [PC-98 characters]
Yoji Shinkawa
Masaki Masuda (Emu Kobo)

Oh bugger!

And thanks for the heads up. Never knew Yoji worked on this game as well, very interesting, he's very talented if he did this artwork as well as the MGS art.

And about Masaki Masuda; is this the guy? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0557919/

Since I couldn't find anything else by the name you gave me, only 'Masako Masuda'.

No, it's definitely Masaki. You won't find him in an English site like IMDB.

I see. And what do you mean by "Emu Kobo" when you put that next to his name?

It's the name of the studio he works/worked for. http://emu.main.jp/newkoubou.htm

Arigato. Interesting site.

And ShinjiPG...you sly bastard, you! :grin: I guess the reason why I fell for your trick, was because you're such a trustworthy guy, damn you.

EDIT: Just to let you guys know; I updated the Policenauts page on Wikipedia with pics of the characters as well as a tidbit more information as well. :smile:

Looks really nice! Are you (or anyone else) planning on touching up the article when the patch comes out? I don't think I'd want anyone else doing it. On a bit of a side note, I think we should touch up the Snatcher page, too. Maybe add a character section, more pictures and such. What do you guys think?

I was planning on touching up the PN article in the near future. Maybe someone else could do the Snatcher one?

I sort of stole Kris' pics from his 'Beyond Coast' website, I hope he doesn't mind. :sad:

And I'll help out on both the Policenauts and Snatcher sites. In fact, I thought a character section for Snatcher is needed, so I'll be adding that later.

No, he won't mind. I'll let him know you did it anyway.

Just to let you guys know, we're going to be adding some English trailers next week. They'll be subtitled versions of all the Japanese trailers that were made for the game.

That's great man, spur the interest to all; good idea.
I certainly know of a lot of people that will be happy to hear that, thanks. :grin:

I believe they are for all of the versions; there is one trailer per system.
