I hate, hate, hate the english dialogue... I can't get used to it, every time I listen to their voices it's like all of I used to know about DOA is gone... *bigsadface*
Thanks for posting. Must be tricky playing a fighting game on a handheld. Never seen a playthrough for one. Those explosive walls always struck me as especially brutal for the ladies *.*
Usually, people use the American pronunciations of Japanese names, as it sounds awkward when you try to attempt the Japanese pronunciation without a Japanese accent. Listen to how Hayate's name is said in the Japanese version.
@kev95 One of the bigger problems with the English dubbing, for me, is the tone used by Kasumi's voice actress. In Japanese, she sounds kind of timid and reluctant to be fighting, which suits her character as a sheltered ninja-princess willfully abandoning her village and friends to avenge her brother. English Kasumi, on the other hand, just sounds like your boiler-plate had-enough-of-this-bullshit "badass." Although I do love Zack's English voice over his Japanese one.
@kev95 And there's also Helena, but the two good performances aren't enough to balance out the fact that Kasumi's VA is going by her movie persona, Yuri Lowenthal and Wende Lee as Yuri Lowenthal and Wende Lee, and the complete lack of effort to at least pretend that Hitomi's supposed to have been born and raised in Germany. At least with Japanese I can at least pretend that an attempt at a German accent is being made, since I don't know the language well enough to pick up on it.
@StevenUlyssesPerhero Only two good performances? I would say the majority of the English cast suit their characters, the only one I don't like is Alpha with her high pitched voice, I suppose it was to differentiate her from Kasumi but it's still annoying. I do like the southern accent they had for Tina and Bass.
@kev95 The high pitched voice I mentioned is one of the reasons I don't like the Japanese voices espically when it comes to female characters, I suppose other's may find them "cute" i just find it grating, but I'll grant you that Kasumi's JP voice is well done.
@kev95 Well I'd only call Zack's and Helena's "Good," and about half of the other ones are simply "Servicable" and the rest are "bad," for varying reasons like the ones I mentioned above. And I don't really notice the high-pitched voices in Japanese, but then again I've been a PowerPuff Girls fan for roughly as long as I can remember, so maybe I just have a higher tolerance for them.
is me or the guy with the red beret reminds me krauser from resident evil (or viceversa). playing around with his combat knife and threatening cute girls ? O_o
The game seem really cool, I wished they would had add english dubb along time ago, with the japanese dubbing. Hopefully in Dead or alive 5, they will give us that option to hear both language with the subtitles :D
See, kids, this is why I hate today's video game designers. They all want to be movie directors. I don't want to watch Plastic Doll Theater, thank you very much, Lord Helmet. I just want to play a video game. DOA on Saturn and Dreamcast...wonderful! You press a couple buttons and you're ready to rock in seconds. Anyway, much thanks for posting 3DS gameplay videos, it's much appreciated.
@josediz91 lol yea it's rather embarrassing to post these videos up because of how extremely extremely hard it is to play under the conditions I have set for the camera. Believe it or not, I'm actually doing quite well online. :P
Holy S-H-I-T the English voice acting in Dimensions is TOTALLY RANCID. Should've stuck to primarily Japanese like all the previous games. Gen Fu and Zack sound VERY stereotyped and everyone else in this video sounds like Caucasians/Whites trying to speak oriental culture...
@RedShogun13 You can change the voices back to Japanese and use subtitles, which is very much appreciated. I did these videos in English because the subtitles just were showing up very well on my camera.
@RedShogun13 As much as I like the voice actors involved in this game, I'm not inclined to disagree with you. As I look through this, I am more and more reminded of Final Fantasy X's piss poor English dub.
@RedShogun13 I guess. But later on, you'll see that Troy Baker as Ryu Hayabusa and Yuri Lowenthal as Hayate were done right (in my opinion, at least).
@darrencrissisHOT Just type in zeke and luther goin zoomin and you'll find it! He's one of the silly dancers. And you are a very good Jigglypuff... just don't sing around me please!
this game looks alot better.i love KASUMI!, its just one thing.i wish they would move around,isteasd of being in a steal postion.and their lips are not moving.
@valentino3458 Lol, you should see my Chapter 2, it's even worse. I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses, but I leave the 3DS on a flat surface which is hard enough to control as is, but I also have a camera right in front so my view is partially blocked. :(
