why should anyone in france germany spain be angry that the game isn't in english? Do you even know what the english speaking rates in those countries are?

They're quite low.

Looks like you are the one that doesn't know. Germans actualy speak English good compared to other European countries, especialy against the France/Spain/Italy combo.

But well, they dub pretty much everything so it doesn't affect them much.

Well, they have cleared things up.

After lots of comments from Dutch speaking people, Sony will be providing a patch so that we can play in English.

Basically, there are three builds. ONe with portuguese - russian and english (which will be distributed in those areas), one with basically everything else in Western Europe and one with Polish.

At least Build 2 is now getting English post-release.

sorry I just meant to throw in random european countries in there. English is naturally easy for a German to pick up because they are both actually very similar in comparison.

still the average from english proficiency is about 30%. Proficiency being used very liberally.

Ah I see. Sorry for attacking you like that.

Could there really be an issue of the size of the disc? I can't think of any reason not to include all these languages

^I highly doubt that. I mean we are talking about BR.

Sucker Punch has apparently confirmed on its forum that the French, Italian, German, Spanish and Dutch versions of inFamous will feature no English language option.

The English version will only have Portuguese and Russian language settings.

This is unlikely to go down well, as you can see from the responses to the mod post, especially with the Dutch. English is spoken very widely in the Netherlands, a factor the drives a highly buoyant games market in the nation.

The decision to split out languages in this way was made after a Sony request, according to that note.

Asking SCEE for comment on this now. The game’s out at the end of May.

Thanks, TheDutchSlayer

So if I buy the game, I am forced to play it in Dutch or a language I barely understand? Boo, Sony, boo!

 

 

I don't get it...What language do you understand?

Dutch (native) and English. I've always played my games in English (except soem when I was a kid), suddenly being forced to play games in Dutch is not what I'm looking for.
