Why do games take so long to come out in the EU?

Is there no unified ratings system in place, or is the ratings system that is in place simply not function? Or do they actually add translations and dubbing to EU releases for France and Germany and whatnot?

bicfitness4075d ago

All the languages certainly add to the development process.

Sanquine904075d ago

I am dutch and i dont mind the games being in english. Only countries like france dont understand english ( Most of them, been there a lot)

3-4-54075d ago

exactly...It takes about 7-12 months to translate everything into JUST ENGLISH for the US, now multiply that by multiple languages and you can figure it out.

SandWitch4075d ago (Edited 4075d ago )

If you are talking particularly about Persona, it's not about ratings or languages. Atlus has its own publishing office in US so it was easy for them to publish the game there. As for Europe, they had to find third-party publisher so that's what delay is about.

Patashnik4075d ago

There are no additional languages in this one - it's English only.

Also: Best game on Vita by a mile. So good.

Canary4075d ago

I wasn't sure if they added additional language support or not.

It seems like even that shouldn't take too long, as most games released in NA already have French and Spanish text--at least, some have a ton of language options--and I can speak from personal experience that translating into German, while difficult, is nowhere near so time-consuming as translating from Japanese.

Also: I think Project Diva F is better; it's more well-suited for portable play

P4G is an amazing game, hope everyone enjoys!

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 23h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
