#1 Baten Kaitos Origins: the VA is just so good, the actors really felt out their characters and delivered absolutely stunning performances, esp. Milly and Sagi
and No More Heroes is looking/sounding pretty promising...
what are your picks
-
Dragon Quest 8, I love their accents, although some of the changes were questionable (i.e. redoing the interface)
-
Gears of War
COLE TRAIN
-
NMH is distinguished mentally-challenged.
I was really impressed with the VA in Bioshock.
-
Saints Row
-
final fantasy 12
-
#1 Baten Kaitos Origins
8-4 :bow :bow :bow
-
final fantasy 12
yeah I did enjoy the VA in that game, (esp. Migelo, Vaan and Balthier) pity the game is ass... well It did plenty of things right presentation wise but the battle system was pretty fucken zzzzz and the plot was stupid and hard to follow. Maybe ff13 will deliver... lol
-
Shenmue and the Metal Gear Solid games are also notabale for their lulz
-
Best localizations would probably be Vagrant Story and the original Phoenix Wright.
-
FF12 and Baten Kaitos 2 but NMH has the best writing in video game history.
-
I've always been impressed by how well done the script and dialogue are for the MGS games. As silly as some parts of the games are, I never get the feeling that there's something being mistranslated, unlike most Japanese games.
-
Dreamfall, Psychonauts, and Grim Fandango. That's how you do it people.

the presentation in the game is amazing. amazing translation, amazing va...it's probably the most realized localization i've ever seen.
Dragon Quest VIII is probably right after it.
Dreamfall, Psychonauts, and Grim Fandango. That's how you do it people.
Well yeah, but. He said localization right?
-
Phoenix Wright 1 was good.
-
Well yeah, Schafer games are at the top for me, but that goes without saying.
GLOTTIS GETTING DRUNK :bow
-
Final Fantasy XII. Both the VA and localization were incredible. The game was a fair bit disappointing, though.
-
Dragon Quest VIII and Final Fantasy XII really showed how game localization is done.
-
GOD HAND
-
omg God Hand
'youre not Alexander!' fucken classic
-
GOD HAND
Aside from translating menus and such God Hand was never localized, though. The Japanese version is in Enlgish.

What did Schafter do aside from Psychonauts?

:o
Really?
Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango... any of those ring a bell?
-
Psychonauts and Eternal Darkness are some favs.

They're about to get even better too :shh

What did Schafter do aside from Psychonauts?
Nothing, which makes the love for him mind-bending

Yeah, of course... I just didn't know he was responsible for them.

he wasn't responsible for monkey island 1 and 2, he was a programmer and wrote some of the script. The games he has directed are Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, and Psychonauts. Brutal Legend comes out this year. BUY IT

You wouldn't, since they are not the Nickelodeon cartoon Psychonauts was. Thus proving Schafer had nothing to do with it.
-
I happen to like Nick cartoons.
Just to throw some more into the mix:
Drakes Uncharted
Heavenly Sword (but the script SUCKED)
*gasp* PS3 games!!! :o
-
I fucking LOVED Maniac Mansion on NES, did Schafer have any involvement in that?

Not particularly, his game was Secret of Monkey Island and from there the endless spiral of fail gradually grew
