Fallout 4 has now gone gold

Baldurs Gate 2 had also pretty good german voice actors.

 

Can't be any worse than most Spanish Dubs for games.... They are so bad they are almost on propouse, apparently in Oblivion they translated "Training" as "Tren" the vehicle, not the act to train. Ghouls are called Corpse Eaters and the Legion is all Slaves, not Slavers....

 

The whole dubbing situation must be a budget thing.
I vaguely remember an interview with a german voice actor, who said, you got a lot of time pressure when doing VO, especially for games. And quite a lot games don't have lip sync, thus a great number of fucked up cutscenes, etc.

But looks like Beth butched up the scale for FO4.

Well ... as always

Quality > Quantity

The video with Piper was goddamn awful, and that's the original version ...


/ Yeah BG2 was fantastic, it had to be. Would have screwed up the fantastic writing.


// Hach ja, die schöne Bierstadt Erlangen Bist fein zugezogen.

 

Do they also have a Mexican accent?
Maybe that's a thing of the old days, in Spain in particular it has been "a thing" that Disney classics are always in a Mexican accent (for reasons not too difficult to imagine, considering the origin of Disney classics, and its proximity to Spanish-speaking Mexico)

Another thing I noticed with Spanish dubbing is that the Spanish language - especially Iberian Spanish - is spoken very fast, like ra-ta-ta-fast, and this causes the spoken message to be over before the lips have finished moving. In order to remedy this, a lot of Spanish dubs will have sentences beginning with a strange moan.
"Hnnn-de prisa!"
"Hnnn-vamonos!"
Spanish people apparently don't notice, cus they're used to it. But I notice. Ohhhh, I hnnn-notice.

 

Most videogame dubs were done in Spain, it's actually pretty recent for Lati nAmerican dubs to surface, and they are actually higher quality than the Iberian Spanish ones.

Latin American Dubs (because not all of them are from Mexico) tend to put a lot of emphasis on Lip synching and making the accents as non descript as possible, they also avoid regionalisms, the European Spanish dubs tho.... they use regionalism they themselves are not even familiar with it seems. For example in Pokeymans, there is a move called "Close Combat" in english, but in spanish it's translated as "Abocajarro" (Basically Jar'smouth),nobody even knows what the fuck it is supposed to mean, not even people from spain. That's why I always play games with the original language.

 

Are you sure "literally" is the right term to use?

 

Ah, the Mexican thing is probably a bit archaic then, since it seems mostly in old Disney films, I've seen Bambi in Spanish, and he had a Mexican accent

And I have often tried to advertise original-language to Spanish-speakers (in Spain), it often seems a foreign concept to wrap a mind around, I quickly hear "but I don't know English!" - yeah, and I watched "Hero" in original language, and don't know a damn word of Mandarin The magic of subtitles!
Then I hear "yeah, but not all people here know how to read", oh come on, maybe back in Franco's days... Spain is a highly developed country by now - and what excuse does Germany have for still dubbing? People don't know how to read?

I also keep hearing that original-language movies are increasingly popular in Spain at least, and many theatres will show original language versions later in the evening, and obviously with DVDs people have the freedom to switch between languages as they please, but I've kept hearing this for the past 20 years, and still I don't really see any kind of "paradigm shift" when it comes to dubbing traditions. They're still plagued by a very narrow selection of voice-actors also, and the horrible fake-kid voice for children...

 

Yay, Fallout 4.

 

The Latin American Dub of Inglorious Basterds only translated the English dialogue (Altho they gave Christopher Waltz a very funny GERRRMAN accent) and the rest was left as is.

The Spain dub on the other hand translated ALL dialogue and the characters just continue speaking spanish even when stating they'll switch to French....

 

Nah, I'm denying. Witcher 3 will still trump FO4 as as an action-RPG - CD Projekt has 'em beat since they A. care about source material, B. Want to tell meaningfully engaging stories, and C. Want to make you feel you are wandering around a breaktakingly Scandanvian-ish land w/ Fairytale's brought to life inside

FO4 is the most important FPS, Apocalyptic Mine-craft Theme Park game - but I predict will have dumbed down casual RPG mechanics as last witnessed with Skyrim and FO3; a mediocre story; lack of meaningful choices and consequences for those actions; immersion breaking mechanics (dog-bullet-sponge).

 

@Walpknut


Make a in depth fallout 3 review.

 

It's like that 200 endings thing that Fallout 3 had.

 

Maybe we will get 200 endings in fallout 4 for the lack of endings in fallout 3.

Kappa.

 

See that mountain?

 

Woo...

 

Endings are hard.

That's why we bypassed them entirely and just have the credits roll when you want them.

 

Yknow, if there were to be a parody game of Fallout then that's the kind of ending I'd want.

 

There is already a Parody of Fallout. It's called Fallout 4.
