Re: [Audyssey]   soul calibur iv playthrough

Hi Clement,

I never gave that a thought, but see what you mean about the differences in 
voice acting. I'm listening to the English version as I write this, but have 
to agree, the Japanese acting is much better. Still, it's interesting to 
compare what both sound like.


Thanks.

Yours Sincerely,
Kelly John Sapergia

Well, it all comes down to preference. Generally, when I get a game, 
if there's any rellevant dialog I'll run through it with the english 
acting first.. then switch it to the japanese once I get it down well 
enough not to need every word to understand what's happening. Aside 
from being easier on the ears, it's a chance to practice what little 
japanese I know. This is why games that have no english voice track 
can be a good thing and a bad thing at the same time... on the one 
hand, you get to immerse yourself in the game and its atmosphere and 
enjoy the japanese acting and how good it is... but if you're blind, 
you can't read subtitles therefore can't tell what's happening. The 
opposite is said for games ported over from japan that have the 
english dub... but no original voice track option. You can understand 
what's going on, all be it with sometimes very very bad dialog, but 
you miss the atmosphere and emotion conveyed by the original voice cast.

[Audyssey] soul calibur iv playthrough

2010-12-22 Thread Clement Chou
Okay, people. Here's soul calibur 4, another fighting game... soul 
calibur IV is part of the soul series, which revolves around a cursed 
sword known as Soul Edge. Wikipedia has a good bit of info on it, and 
to be honest this game has a lot more story than many other games and 
deserves a better story mode. This is the very short story mode of 
soul calibur IV, disappointingly short I might add. Something akin to 
the story mode in MK VS. DC wouldn't've been bad, but we get what we get.

This game has some of the best audio I've heard in a fighting game. 
The music especially is amazing... a nice change from the usual type 
of music you get in fighting games... orchestral as opposed to techno 
stuff and rock. This game is playable on the ps3, xbox360, and the 
psp where it's known as Soul Calibur: broken destiny. Enjoy, folks. 
Questions and comments are welcome as always.

Hi Clement,

I agree with you, the audio in this game does sound pretty good. But could 
you please record the character voices in English?


Thanks.

Sorry Kelly... that's a personal bias of mine. Though I know little 
japanese, I personally prefer japanese voice acting to the english 
dubs that are tacked on later. I'm not exactly sure what it is... but 
for me personally, the original acting adds a lot more to the 
atmosphere of the game for me. But I can start recording in english 
in the next few postings.
