How come Shadow of Mordor had its title translated but The Evil Within didn't?

Probably because LoTR is a big thing here, and people would rather see the title in Spanish. English isn't known by a huge percentage of Spanish people.

The real question is why they didn't hire the usual guys who do this job. We got a literal translation instead of something along the lines of "La tierra medía como la sombra de Mordor (más o menos)".



Wait, why is smash rated 12+?



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

Non-bloody fantasy violence that involves human-like looking opponents.

Oh right, didn't think about that lol. Thanks.

That PS domination.

I was in Spain a week ago and any game store I seen gave equal space to xbox and PA> Wii U and 3DS get good space too. Sales really don't reflect that however.

I guess you aren't awere of the "translations" movie names get in Spain.



Has an X1 game charted in the top 10 in any month yet? Or Wii U?

Maybe Halo and/or Smash could do it.
