Some more info is out. In particular, we finally get some details on the "Gigolo mode". Heh, sure sounds amusing now that I know what it's about!

I'm really digging the game so far. Hopefully the gameplay is good. Just sucks that the U.S. version doesn't have dual audio.
With four of the Mondo Girls shown so far, I wonder if Vivian and Mika are gonna be able to be "conquered" as well?

Has that been confirmed? The absence of the Japanese track would be quite a blow to my interest :-(

Don't know if it's like DMC... Haven't seen any proper gameplay demo yet.
But the main character does have a sword, and he does have a hand cannon (literally). Is it me, or are Japanese hack n slash action games fall under either "like DMC" or "like Ninja Gaiden" ?

I just tend to dislike dubs of any kind. I would rather have to read subtitles than get dubbed audio. Intonation is a very important part of voice acting and I find that the constrains placed on dubs (having to fit a pre-set time for each line) tend to break the original meaning of sentences. This is true for any language, not just Japanese. I know that there are some great dubs out there (the Metal Gear series, for example, or virtually every Disney animated film to date) but those tend to be the exception rather than the rule.

But if it's like Metal Gear with a western setting despite being a Japanese game, then not having the Japanese voice wouldn't affect it much. Fair enough.

I do agree with you on the point of what language fits the situation more. I've even heard that Kojima feels that the English version of Metal Gear is the definitive version. Dual audio would be a nice feature, but not having it doesn't and shouldn't ruin the experience.

So you can even date a vampire in this game..... so what's next? A werewolf? Or a zombie girl, perhaps?
As far as voice acting goes..... eh. I don't really have any particular issues with it. The dub voices I heard so far sound decent enough to me, so I don't really mind if the localized versions lack dual audio (though it would still be a nice thing to have). |
