And here I thought Nier would be a crap game. Maybe it's not so crap afterall...

Last Remnant got a 38. Just throwing that out there.

I suppose it could be like Demon's Souls- no hype, everyone thought it would suck, and suddenly it's amazing.

Nier Gestalt - in Japan xbox360 game, in the West xbox360/ps3 game. English audio, no Japanese VA for that version

Nier Replicant - in Japan ps3 game. Not available outside of Japan (or maybe Asia). Japanese audio.

Why would they release a game with only English audio in Japan?

Do you know a Japanese game called BioHazard ?

Damn really? Last Remnant got a 38?!! That's just wrong...

Well judging from the screens and trailers, graphics are half decent, pretty basic gameplay and there's nothing so interesting at all about Nier so I reckon I should up pass on this.

I suppose it's part of how they see the Japanese xbox360 install base (with a PS3 version available from the start). Kind of like No More Heroes xbox360 is rated Z and has all the blood like the US Wii version and the PS3 one is D and is like the Japanese (and European) versions.

In any case SE announced Japanese voice actors for Replicant specifically.

Resident Evil. I figured that BioHazard had Japanese voice acting in Japan, seeing as it has a different name. It's in English?

Yep, with Japanese subtitles

Mikami  (creator of the series) felt that it wasn't realistic for the characters to speak in another language

when they are suppose to be American

It will be panned by western reviewers (that's my prediction)

i heard good things about lost planet 2 so i'll be waiting for that, only another 3-4 weeks anyway.
