Rosbjerg Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 my guess would be you live in France .. we grew up with subtitles and you grew up with dubbed films .. of course you prefer the one you grew up with! but dubbed films deprives the audience of an important thing imo, the free english lesson ..

213374U Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Hating your language? I always thought Scandinavians in common are very proud of their nation and so on.But never mind, some languages sound horrible and some don't, who cares as long as we have the world language slang English... I think he'd rather have scandinavians raping English than english raping Dutch. When they translate games it sounds horrible. Better english than wrong and full of mistakes and funny accent home language That depends on the quality of the dubbing. I have played games with outstanding translations, and some others just suck. Such is the case of HL2. I can't believe they allowed such a crappy dubbing for a game that has supposedly rocked the gaming industry. Oh well... Never understood why people would want dubbed movies! It looks riddicolous and it takes away from the performance from actor. It's a matter of getting used to it. Where I live, all movies are dubbed. I have heard we have some of the best dubbing pros here, and sometimes they are full-time actors of their own. If the translation team is good, the result will be good. However, I agree with you that nothing compares to the original performer once you get used to it. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

I mean that the original non-dubbed version of a movie/TV show is always better than the dubbed version, once you get used to watching the original, and then compare it with the dubbed.

Being an international student in Australia I know a few from germany who are used to dubbing, but after coming to Australia they have gotten used to the original voices. Initially they thought the voices sounded wrong and funny, even though it was the original voices Now they find it strange to watch dubbed movies.

jedipodo Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 my guess would be you live in France .. Almost right, but no. Germany. we grew up with subtitles and you grew up with dubbed films .. of course you prefer the one you grew up with! There is much truth in your words. BTW I can also hardly believe that an English film sounds well after having dubbed it to French , but definitely they will tell me something diffent. but dubbed films deprives the audience of an important thing imo, the free english lesson .. Good argument. But aren't there even in Denmark countless people (especially of the older generations) who don't understand anything, as films normally don't start at the first lesson but at the very last?

You always associate a person with a particular voice and get problems when they sound completely different and unfamiliar.

Ostkant Posted December 4, 2004 Author Share Posted December 4, 2004 My thread concerned the Europe release date and/or downloadable content, not languages, but ok. First of all, why no downloadable content on Live? It's fully possible, why are we being treated like this? How idiotic to say the least. Second of all, KOTOR sounds better in English. I live in Sweden but I don't like to play games if they're not in English. I'll probably borrow the PC version from a friend or something, seems like the Xboxers are getting their legs pulled on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planar Jedi Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 They always do. Dubbed movies suck. And in books the problem is greater, because translators are not authors, they just translate, and the original touch is lost.

Dark Wastl Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 C'mon imagine Han Solo speaking German or French!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The German dub of the original Star Wars trilogy is actually the best dub I have ever seen for an American movie. The voices are perfect, heck I can't think of one voice that is worse than the English one, not even Vader. Most of them I like even better than in the original movie. Episode II on the other hand has to be the worst choice of voices I have ever seen in a movie They went from perfect voices and good translations in the original trilogy to bad voices and horrendous translations in the new ones. They should have given the job of dubbing the movies to Fox Germany, like in the old ones. Now they have given the job to someone else and the voices are choosen by LucasFilm in America, although they have no clue about the German language. At least KotOR was translated quite good...
