That's pretty quick. Although I guess they won't translate the voice acting and only the text. Wouldn't make much sense to see everyone speak non-American/English anyway. I wonder how they'll react to the game.

Nice touch with the haiku there by the way.
Bethesda Asia confirmed Japanese version Fallout 3 will be fully localized version, including the voice acting.
 
I bet, just for the japanese version, they'll throw in a octopus monster robot on little girl rape scene to appeal to the japanese audiance :D and remove the dismemberment, of course, since Im sure they arent man enough to handle it(no matter how comical the "violence" is)
 
I can honestly say it's thanks to TV and games not being dubbed that I'm fairly good at english.

I started playing computer games before I was even 10, and complicated ones at that. I remember playing the first Larry, constantly looking up words in a dictionary (I learned a lot of swear words very early on, obviously). the wonderful part is that my parents always encouraged it and in no way tried to keep me away from such things.

I'm Swedish btw.

Gurochan disagrees with that. "If it exists, there is porn of it". Graphical dismemberment is no exception.

I wonder whether the Japanese voiceovers will be better than the English ones.

No way will the japanese voice overs be better.The reason being that this game was made in english.The reason alot of people consider anime japanese voices better is because they were originally made in japanese and the voices fit alot better.Not the case with this game
 
The original is in English so the English voice-over is better by definition?

It doesn't really work that way. If a local publisher takes a more professional approach than Bethesda tends to to VO work, the localization might well be superior to the original.
 
What a sad commentary.

Is BS doing the media blitz in Asia that they are doing in US/Europe?
 
I doubt it. They did have one tour that the journo returned from with 150 photos of the game, but other than that I think their blitz is mostly US-centric, with Europe getting constant second pickings (always twice for demo tours, always GC after E3)
