Alexia Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Is kotor actually out for PC in europe? Le donne sono da venus, la scopata sa dove sono gli uomini da. For a different kind of Kotor chat
The Bardic Pen Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 It should come out at the same time as the PC version. So far, I've heard February 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th and I think I also heard 14th.
Darth Ni Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 That would suck if European PC users had to wait another 5 months until they translated all the speech files into the local languages... Its always the case however that games come out first in the country of their creation. However, they almost always do a simaltaneous international release these days. I don't think there is anything to worry about.
Dark Wanderer Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Translating all speech files into local languages? That'd be crazy. At most they only do so for three langages: German, French and occassionally spanish, I think (through I could be wrong). I'm fine if it all comes out in english, as I don't need any other langages, and most don't either. Nowadays few make too many complainments about the games being in english. But then again, this is sweden and most people here learn english to some degree, so... Despite the fact that many people who've played KOTOR has a negative view on it, I'm still very optimistic about the Februari release and can't wait to get my paws on the game :D
213374U Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 KotOR was released a long time ago. Now as far as KotOR 2 is concerned... " - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

You're right anyways, they'll probably do German, French, and Spanish. They probably wont do Russian and besides, the Russians do a pretty good job of pirating and translating it themselves. I don't know why they have to translate all the speech files. If you ask me, I'd just put subtitles since its such a waste of time. Ofcourse, if you put subtitles, more people will feel inclined to buy the game and less people will download it. Anyways, I don't really care as long as its in English.

Those countries are quite big and contains a large part of the people of europe, plus that many people outside those countries learn those languages too... Despite the fact that many people who've played KOTOR has a negative view on it, I'm still very optimistic about the Februari release and can't wait to get my paws on the game :D
Darth Sun_Tzu Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 I just checked and amazon.co.uk is currently quoting the 11th of feb but since the PC version has not gone gold yet that could easily change. Another great idea by the people who brought you beer milkshakes! "I don't see a problem...then again, SW isn't my life, so what do I know...." - some who makes 27.8 post per day on a SW forum!
Darth Ni Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Why do all these stupid sites post their own release dates? Only trust one source, LucasArts...
213374U Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Why do all these stupid sites post their own release dates? Only trust one source, LucasArts... Are we talking about the same LA which promised simultaneous release on Xbox and PC? " - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Catalyst Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Riposte! :D LucasArts will probably make another announcement like it did for the XBox version, so keep checking the Official LA site. If you're a cynic then check Amazon, as its usually fairly reliable, at least in the UK.

" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok Ok Ok but don't forget, its their software and if there is a change in the release date, they know of it first because they wanted it... Thats why I said trust LA and only LA for release date info. That doesn't mean that it won't be delayed but if there is one, they will know of it first.
grphiw Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I have no background in translated games, but just as a logistic suggestion, the game may still keep the audio files in English/various alien languages, but the subtitles at the bottom may be rewritten. Considerably faster, and all you need is an army of translators.

Ludozee Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 I just checked and amazon.co.uk is currently quoting the 11th of feb but since the PC version has not gone gold yet that could easily change. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The X-Box version went Gold 13 days before the release, so I don't think that will be much of an issue.
DSLuke Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 When did the PC version went gold?? And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom
Ludozee Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 When did the PC version went gold?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> AFAIK, it didn't...
Baneblade Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 "AFAIK" stands for what? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As Far As I Know "If at first you don't succeed... So much for skydiving." - Henry Youngman.
Darth Post Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 i am desperatly waiting for the PC release in germany. Besides i prefer the game with german speech/language. Only subtitles will be bad, because a lot of atmosphere is transported by language and if you have to read the subtitles and listen to the actors at the same time a lot of atmosphere will get lost.
DSLuke Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 How do you write "the dark side of the force" in German?? And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom
Sebastian Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 How do you write "the dark side of the force" in German?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Die dunkle Seite der Macht."
