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?

bicfitness4076d ago

All the languages certainly add to the development process.

Sanquine904076d 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)

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.

SandWitch4076d ago (Edited 4076d 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.

Patashnik4076d ago

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

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

Canary4076d 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!

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer2h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

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.
