The origins of localizations Anonymous 05/19/2023 (Fri) 15:28:27 No.3043 [Reply] [Last]
Is it possible that one fucking faggot from California and his company is responsible for this hideous practice of disrespecting the source material? Victor Ireland co-founded Wrecking Designs in 1990, during a time when most English vidya translations were sub-par machine translations mixed with some poor salary man trying his best with what little English knowledge he gained in Japanese high school. They took the western gaming scene by storm with their translations that actually read like proper English. Little did vidya enthusiasts know back then, that this egomaniac faggot didn't just translate the Japanese games he brought over, he actually made them into his own. So imagine this, you want to translate Japanese video games but the translators you hired aren't good enough so what do you do? Just make shit up and insert a bunch of shitty jokes everywhere and call it From former Wrecking Designs translator Tim Trzepacz: >The thing to remember is that Working Designs had really terrible translators until I came along. They were hiring some company out of San Francisco and the translators there didn’t really know English. They could translate the Japanese, but they didn’t really understand what the idiom was they were translating to. And everything was coming out of a spreadsheet so it wasn’t even in context. Japanese is a very context-sensitive language. So to a certain degree [Working Designs co-founder Victor Ireland] had no choice but to make things up as he went, because he had very little to go on. When I came in, I brought in two well-known fan-translators, C. Sue Shambaugh and Richard Kim, who ratcheted up the quality of the translations tremendously. Now things made sense! But by then Victor kinda already had his process down, he liked rewriting it and adding the comedy in. https://archive.md/TPVZX To quote the faggot himself: >Oh this script is really boring, let me put some funny stuff in here. So I would insert funny lines that really had nothing to do with what was going on. And that sort of evolved. I continued doing that, did more of it, and people generally liked it [because] they were seeing writing that they never saw in Japanese-localized or translated games, like ‘Holy crap, this is amazing’. Source https://archive.md/K5cvw Here's one of the most famous examples of localization from Lunar 2 on the Sega CD: >Girlie, if I were in the position to throw away cash on bums, you'd call me Clinton and I'd be president. I can't find the Japanese line online and I don't feel like searching through the Japanese script, but I assure you it's probably not a shitty Clinton joke.

I was recently playing some good ol' DMC3 featuring dante from the Devil May Cry Series with a dualshock 3, and honestly I think its just an okay controller. It works, I always felt the Dualshock 2 was more comfy than the dualshock 3 or 4 but that might be my unironic nostalgia goggles

Why are coomlectors so eager to line their shelves with mediocre games or complete crap? Why waste the money? A small collection of games you actually like is way more pleasing to own and says more about you as a person than a wall of horseshit sports and movie games etc. ever could.

the death of arcades as i knew them is something i'm still not able to come to terms with outside of JP, which even then still isn't doing too hot from what i've heard, the best arcades US (and maybe CA or EU? not sure) can scrounge up are comprised of shitty redemption games made to take up your time and provide zero actual fun aside from 'get big tickets', with very few actually enjoyable games made to just be played for fun what happened to all the good shit? the fighting games, the lightgun games, the unique racers, the beat-em-up's, the shmups, the rhythm games, the action puzzlers, hell even in terms of redemption games, the best they can do is 'remake mobile/webgame made for children'. at least back then there was original, actually enjoyable concepts and ideas. colorama, spider stompin, dunk-n-alien, all sorts of shit it just sucks. arcades are a lost cause from what i can tell, and the ones that still exist suck balls and aren't even worth going to, outside of a *very* small few, and even those can have their own niche of issues or maybe i'm just alone on this, who tf knows

Shitch 2 Anonymous 02/28/2023 (Tue) 21:04:42 No.1017 [Reply] [Last]
Will it just be a hardware update or will they actually go with a new gimmick? I assume the former since it's presented as a new shitch and not a new console. With that in mind, will Soytendo ever make a new console or are they content with selling glorified ram updates at full price every 5 years? The money certainly flow, why bother trying.
