This, apparently. The game is being released with a Japanese voice track. Ever wondered what Japanese people thought of English language dubs? Well maybe now you know. Maybe you don't. Who knows!
Uncharted 2 will be released in Japan on October 15.
In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.
It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.
Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...
I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
During MCM Comic Con London X EGX, CGM got the chance to be part of a press group interview with the stars of the Uncharted titles, namely the legendary Nolan North, who played protagonist Nathan Drake, Emily Rose, who portrayed Elena Fisher and Richard McGonagle, who took on the role of Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan,
Chris, Joseph, and Josh celebrate Active Quest’s 100th episode by discussing their favorite games of all time.
No offense to japanese people but Drake lost a piece of his manhood there. His original voice is sooo tied in with his character that anything else in its place seems like a desecration!
What? it sounds normal to me nothing different at all apart from the Japanese language of course.
But this is the first time I've seen someone play this game like a pro everyone before this were playing like sissy's getting shot all over the place every time they stood up from cover.
Sounds kind of normal to me as well, though I will admit it makes him sound a tad bit younger.
I wonder how the game will do in Japan. Can't wait to see what Famitsu ranks this game.
