Forums - Gaming - Dubs or subs, a publisher's survey

Destrucoid is running a survey on behalf of a Japanese publisher, so if you have an interest in the matter voting seems worth it.

subs all the way. Takes less time and everything.



This one doesn't seem very clear.

English Voice Over, but released 2-3 months AFTER the Japanese Release
English Voice Over AND English Subtitles, but released 2-3 months AFTER the Japanese Release
English Voice Over AND Japanese Voice Over, but released 2-3 months AFTER the Japanese Release

Seems like they are all missing a piece of info.  Does the first one mean no subtitles at all and no Japanese voice over?  Does the second mean no Japanese voice over?  Does the third mean there will be a Japanese voice over but no subtitles?

The choices should have just been

Original Japanese Voice Over with English Subtitles, but released at the SAME TIME as the Japanese release
English Voice Over AND Japanese Voice Over AND English Subtitles, but released 2-3 months AFTER the Japanese Release

I mean Killzone has like 20 languages, no reason they can't include Japanese with the English Dub.  At least on the PS3 where size isn't such an issue.



subs everytime... why would we need to wait for dubs when most of them (for jap games) are terrible?... makes no sense, just keep japs voices and some subs pls... That would reduce your expenses and it will help people to listen to the back ground music...

depends so much on the quality of the Dubs IMO, if you can get a great voice cast go ahead but if you are going to cheap out at least keep the option for Jap dub. That's my oppinion anyway...

dubs most definately most subs suck to me. i want to hear english! lol.



Dubs



For MOST anime's, I prefer subs with the Japanese voice acting. The opposite is true for games.

 

I filled out the poll and found out destructoid loves me, yay!



Both; I like to switch back and forth. For instance, I played Disgaea about 50/50 sub and dub.
