Jonnas Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Guess this means I'm replaying AAI, huh? That's fine, it's got some excellent music. *fingers crossed* Please fix the issues I had with that game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Patience pays off! So hyped to finally get to play AAI2! Now that the entire series has been remade and released in English, surely a proper AA7 has to be coming next!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think think they should actually change it though. 39 minutes ago, Dcubed said: Patience pays off! So hyped to finally get to play AAI2!

I just want Edgeworth to stop throwing away evidence during the middle of his cases I'd like changes to the writing as well, but I'm not holding my breath.

Ike Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 For some reason, only the PS4 version is getting a PAL physical version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised they even bothered with a physical release this time, and the fact that it's the PS4 (with it being last gen and all...). Also, a demo is available.

Glen-i Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Booted up Investigations 2, mostly to see how it compares to the fan translation. Done the first case so far. So far, as far as name changes go, the fans have it. Not a strong opening move from the official localisation. Gonna put this in spoilers for obvious reasons. Spoiler There's 4 new characters introduced to the series here. The fan translation obviously keeps any legacy character names (Edgeworth, Gumshoe, Kay, etc.) the same, so no need to focus on them. In the fan translation, the journalist character was called "Nicole Swift", the official name is now "Tabby Lloyd". This is the one example in this case where I think the official localisation is better by far. That is a great Ace Attorney style name, and props must be given to it. The rest of the names? Ehhhh... "Ethan Rooke" is now officially "Bastian Rook" And "Horace Knightley" is now "Bronco Knight" I know Ace Attorney is not subtle about it's punny names, and Investigations 2 is jam-packed with so many Chess related ones, but couldn't they have done a better job with the surnames? It's a bit too on-the-nose, y'know? Still, Bastian is a better choice than Ethan, and at least they tried to maintain the horse pun with Bronco. Horace feels like a more natural name, but what can you do? The fans hit upon a perfect name there. And then there's "Di-Jun Wang", whose official name is "Di-Jun Huang". I legit thought they didn't change it from the fan name when I saw that, but no, they did change one thing. Gotta give it to the fans there. They clearly localised it well. So 3-1 to the fans. Also, I found a typo in the official script, that didn't take long. Wouldn't be Ace Attorney without it! The fan translation is typo free, which ironically, gives it away that it's not official. BTW, were Selfies a thing in 2011? Might be my age speaking, but I wanna say they weren't? This official localisation mentions selfies, but I can't help but feel that if the original DS game was localised back then, that word wouldn't be in it. Of course, I could be completely wrong.

This official localisation mentions selfies, but I can't help but feel that if the original DS game was localised back then, that word wouldn't be in it. Sounds like it's time for me to put on the mask and adopt my role of Resident N-E Youngster. As someone who started high school in 2010 and so would be pretty much the perfect age to assess this in terms of it being a "thing" – I think it was probably on the verge of becoming a thing, but wasn't actually yet a thing, you know? At least over here in the UK it hadn't really cemented itself I feel, I imagine unless you were really brushed up on social media (and tech?) at the time it seems unlikely you'd have come across it in 2011 from what I remember. People might have already been calling them selfies elsewhere in the world, but I wouldn't say it was a commonly used word to my ear until around halfway through my time in high school, which would make sense looking up the UK release dates for both Instagram (2010 on iOS and 2012 on Android) and Snapchat (2012 on Android and 2013 on iOS) and also considering that the first "selfie" cameras in smartphones apparently came along and was popularised with the iPhone 4 and HTC Evo G4 (damn, been a minute since I've thought about HTC), early 2010s was the right breeding ground for the word to embed itself culturally I feel, but I wouldn't say it was firmly established as a term until 2012/2013, obviously anecdotally, but I think backed up by it being added to the Oxford Dictionary as the word of the year for 2013. (to...myself? More of an asterisk for clarification I guess?) That being said! Where's Ace Attorney actually suppose to be based? In my head the US makes perfect sense because of the character looks and the way they speak (and how gosh darn Hollywood the drama comes off as being), and I feel like it's possible the term became popularised in the US and Japan a bit before it did over here? Can't help but also just wonder if the localisation team are around the age where they'd be questioning the same thing, but also yeah now I'm just curious about where the series is meant to be located... Also, thought it would be a fun fact to share, but in my nosing around I came across this (from Wikipedia, where else?): Quote Selfie culture became popular in Japan and then other East Asian countries in the 1990s, starting with purikura booths and then front-facing camera phones. However, it was not until the 2000s that selfie culture was popularized outside of East Asia. Not sure if they referred to it as being a "selfie" at the time (doubt it) but there's just something about the idea of 90s Japanese salarymen trying to take selfies with, say, a life-sized Tifa or Neo cutout in the late 90s which makes me chuckle Edited 41 minutes ago by Julius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
