  • "YOUR WORDS ARE AS EMPTY AS YOUR SOUL"

  • I enjoy the older version's dialogue in the cheesy, infinitely quotable way that one can only love classic, bad video game dialogue. It's great, and it comes from a time when nothing else was trying things like that.

    That said, this version is insanely powerful. It makes the relationship between Richter and Dracula a personal vendetta, and it establishes Dracula as someone who can fuck with your head and shake your faith in your beliefs just by talking to you. "And die for their sins!"

  • What in the actual FUCK!!?!

  • who ruined this dialogue????

  • ლ(ಠ益ಠლ WHY... JUST TELL ME WHY???

  • ZOMBIE DRACULA LEAVE THIS PLACE

  • BOO!! Do you think the guy who re-wrote this dialog went home and said "Well that was a good days effort. I really fixed something that was fundamentally broken" or *BANG* then never said anything again.

  • DIE NEW DIALOG! YOU DONT BELONG ON THIS GAME!

  • I prefer..."But enough take, have at you!" As a fitting beginning for a fight. It suits the timeline more.

  • Im a newcomer to the series. I did not grow up with it as a kid, and these voices sound much, much, better. However the Dialog was kooler before. "Die Monster" has become a pretty well known video game quote for obvious reasons. Its awsome.

  • am i wierd in thinking richter got a voice upgrade?

  • Personally, the voice acting at least is better here, though I'd say at least Dracula could use the old lines instead if done by the same actor as this remake.

  • The original was better alucard sounded and talked like he should maria even though she was "supposed to be" 16 looked maybe 20 and sounded it and dracula was sheer awesomeness it is an actual once in a decade true professional dub the new dub is well the dialogue doesn't fit the time period and the voices don't sound right. Overall new dub sucks old dub rules.

  • What is a man? A cesspit of hatred and lies.

  • srry but i have 2 dislike this

  • Original dialog is much more souless and raw, this sucks!

  • Die, monster! You don't belong in this world!

  • SuCKS

  • I Think This Voice Dialogue Should Have Been Used in The STON Game Instead Of The Original I Like This Version better Than that Original Pile Of Crap... besides Dracula's voice actor appeared in many titles especially in Castlevania Judgment As Well As Alucard's Voice Actor

  • I Think This Voice Dialogue Should Have Been Used in The STON Game Instead Of The Original I Like This Version better Than that Original Pile Of Crap

  • I'm getting the Dracula x chronicles in the mail! And I think the redub is better then the old. Why? because the Angry vidoe game nerd said the old dub sometimes sounds awkward! I think I'm going to like the new dub.

  • What is new dub?

    A miserable little pile of shit.

    But enough talk...

    Have at you!

  • @Felip00e That was not terrible! The old dub was bad and you people can't see that!

  • @GameboyzStudio

    What you say?

    A misereble little pile of blasphemy.

    But enough talk...

    Have at y... oh no wait... maybe you are right?

    No... HOW THIS CAN BE?

    Ahhhhhhhhhggggggrrrr

  • Nostalgia Critic:I;m Acting!

  • No what is a man?

    failure

  • this balls compared to the original. this one feels like it wants to be completely PC and not step on anyone's toes. it pussyfoots around, and feels forced and unnatural. say what you will of the original dialogue, but you can not tell me that it wasn't straightforward, to the point, and natural.

  • @heroarmorzero The pauses between all the words and the stress on the wrong words sure was natural sounding. :|

    This new one isn't perfection but its better than the soulless original. The only reason why most people like it is because of nostalgia and the funnyness (which wasn't supposed to be funny at all)

  • @RangerJackWalker speak for yourself. the old one HAD a soul, and didn't treat their listeners like idiots. the old line: "perhaps the same could be said of ALL religions" was brilliant, and didn't NEED to be dumbed down. I really didn't notice any unnecessary/ unnatural pauses. besides there were no stressing of words that DIDN'T need to be stressed. the original( though some people think it to be hilariously bad{which I don't get at all}) is perfect in concept and execution. the remake is shit

  • @heroarmorzero Well it comes down to difference of opinion. I think the line "Freedom is always sacrificed to faith, good hunter. Or are you trul here by choice?" is a much better line and not a dumbed down line at all.

    Really, the only way to judge the dialouge is to show both to a non-castlevania fan, preferably someone in the voice acting business and ask for their opinion. We as fans have our judgement clouded(I'm talking about both sides, not just those who like the original more.)

  • Comment removed

  • The voice acting here is much better and the words are more natural here, but the old translation was so much more poignant. "Perhaps the same could be said of all religions" indeed.

  • People who think that new version is better just know nothing about good acting

  • @MetalHimera Are you fucking kidding me? The acting here is MUCH better. So much less hammy, and the lines are read with more subtlety and flow. The old lines sounded much more forced. I've taken acting classes and have studied theater, I know what I'm talking about.

  • Richter is Jesus?

  • what is this audio?

    A miserable little pile of remake

    But enough ear bleeding, have at you!

  • Voices are better but the text is not as epic a the old.

  • I liked Richter and Dracula in this one, but Alucard in the original was far more better.

  • The new one is obviously better, it's just that nostalgia freaks prefer the old crappy one.

  • @Azardea no, we all know the older version is crappy, but it's so crappy it's awesome. like the van damme street fighter movie

  • @GuerillahTacTikz That... actually makes sense. I still prefer the new one, though.

  • What is a mankind? A miserable cesspit of secrets.

  • Old voices had better sentences and words...they were just awesoem , but they spoke them with no soul . the new voices are good too , and u can hear angriness (is this english xD ) in there voice . At least i like the old ones more...but i always need to laugh cause they say it so..dooooowwwnnn xD

  • Die redub! You don't belong on this console!

  • @TheDirector999 The true irony is that this dialogue is exclusive to the handheld version, and even then it only comes with the version included in Dracula X Chronicles.

  • The new voices are better , the old voices were rushed and hilariously bad. I wonder if people will be outraged if Shenmue ever got a better and more proper redub?

  • @JuicyPlayer Probably.  I mean, COME ON. The original was voted 3rd on Worst Game Dialog of all time.

  • @JuicyPlayer

    The new Dracula is better. Everyone else is pretty damn bad, even in comparison to the PSX version.

  • What is this?

    A miserable pile of bullshit.

  • @xan1242 but enough talk,have your remakE!

  • I prefer Richter's original voice.

  • I prefer the original voices, but this dialog is faaar better.

  • I half expected Richter to shout "I AM HAKUMEN, THE END HAS COME".

  • Haha, i loved the original dialogue and acting. For instance, i thought Alucard had a lot of emotion in his acting. And honestly, i always thought the dialogue seemed fitting based on the time the game took place... :P Although, i do love how this one ends. "Then fight for them, and die for their sins!" I think that sounds awesome. XD

  • If we're going to get bad voice acting, I'd rather get hilariously bad like the original...and not just...shit like this.

  • what is this video!?

    a miserable little pile oh shit?

    but enough talk, lets go to simphony

    anyway, video is not shit, nor uploader, the people who changed the text are...

  • I was called here by SHIT who wished to fuck up something awesome

  • HAVE AT YOU!

  • too much copy of orginal. Really you're just switching the words with it's similar.

  • Caa~aampy

    :V

  • Comment removed

  • What is this port? A miserable little pile of fail! But enough crap, have the original!

  • My only complaint is that they failed to capitalize the first letter of a proper noun (specifically Hell). Other than that, this is vastly improved over the original.

  • @Rayendac

    Agreed. It's a bit hammy, but I like ham.

    That's not saying I dislike the original. =p

  • @Rayendac not really

  • it's not bad, but I do miss the cheese

  • Richter and Dracula's voices I feel should not have changed seriously how can you forget the begining with WHAT IS A MAN?! The rest was fine though except maybe Alucard

  • The new voice acting is not that bad, but the old one was much better beacuse... do i need to explain?

  • @nuclearneo577

    Yes, you do. And no, nostalgia is NOT an excuse.

  • WHAT IS A MAN?

  • A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk... have at you

  • @JackTR21 a miserable pile of secrets. Have at you!

  • I love this version. The original had stale ass voice acting. It's funny as hell, but stale. This one has emotion in it, which makes it feel more authentic as it revs you up for a battle against the lord of darkness.

  • i agree with you in the other one richter sounds like an old man

  • @magnawaves

    Hey can I play as Richter after beating the game by killing him? If so, how?

  • well, after you beat the game (reverse castle and all) you unlock richter mode, I believe you can play through the game as richter or maria. It's been a very long time since I beat SotN so I'm not absolutely sure but I think that's how you do it.

    The real ending isn't when you kill richter, btw.

  • @magnawaves

    I know. i was wondering because its my first time playing and ive beaten it by killing richter. i need to look up how to get the holy glasses and all. im so cheap. i kept my starting weapons :)

  • haha I barely ever managed to get any cash to get newer weapons, I just leveled up alot to the point where the crappier weapons worked just as well.  Alucart Sword ftw lol

  • Comment removed

  • @magnawaves

    wait i got that wrong, i though you meant alucard sword and misspelled it. my bad. i didnt know alucart sword/sheild and alucard sword/sheild were different. where do i get alucart stuff in the normal castle?

  • @jamiljamtheman

    lol, you know that big clock in the middle of the castle, when you go up? it's to the right.

  • thanks

  • "what is a man?" ,,,where the ! are those epic words? :(

  • But enough talk *tosses psp disc into trash* REDUB YOU!!!

    (I realize he does that after "what is a man")

  • *Under Heaven Destruction*

    THE WHEEL OF FATE IS TURNING

    REBEL 1

    ACTION!

  • this isnt as good as the origional

  • I personally like some of the voices in the PSP version better. I preferred the way Richter looked in the Sega Saturn version, but that's just me.

  • what is this a miserable pile of shit

  • @egrojsaleur

    But enough talk, have at you!

  • @egrojsaleur what is this a miserable pile of ungrateful comments!

  • I prefer the orginal voice...seriously

  • BELMONT, SON OF A B***, I've been waiting for you!

  • horrible. :(

  • esto es una mierda!!

    apesta!

    que dialogos mas fingidos

    porque hexan a perder un Juego de ese modo, que hijos de putaa

    gracias por subir esto, asi no comprare el juego.

  • I do agree with how the purists are acting crazy over nothing. I like both.

  • Purists back off. If you don't like it don't watch it. Both are fine.

  • that's fucking crap, if fans loved it, why change it? D:

  • enough! HAVE AT YOU!

  • The new dialouge sucks.

    The original dialouge was MUCH better. "But enough talk, HAVE AT YOU!"

  • If you don't like it, don't watch it.

  • STFU

  • Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!

  • What is a man?!

  • A miserable little pile of SECRETS!

  • but enough talk HAVE AT YOU!

  • I wish they remake symphony of night in 3-D version.

  • Dracula: WHAT IS A REMAKE A MISERABLE PILE OF HI DEF GRAPHICS, BUT ENOUGH TALK,NEW DIALOG!

    Richter: Wtf...

  • The PSP version runs at a lower resolution than standard def...

  • naah! i prefer sotn original version... or the RCDeschene version down here...vv

  • They redid the script based of the original jap. version making it closer to the "original" then the U.S. and PAL versions

  • the new voices are not as good as the original at all but its still the same kick ass game as the original

  • I miss the camp of the original dialogue. This new one isn't as bad as some people make it out to be though...

  • WHAT IS A MAN?! a MISERABLE PILE OF SECRETS! ENOUGH TALK! HAVE AT YOU!

    screw this PC bullshit!

  • it's not pc, it's psp... but you are right!!!!

  • This one sounds smoother.

  • I like it better also.

  • Richter: Die Monster, you don't belong in this world! Dracula: It was not by my hand that I am given flesh once again, your kind called me fourth with Phrase and Tribute!

    Richter: Tribute!? You steal men's souls their freedom, you make them your slaves.

    Dracula: Perhaps the same could be said of all religions, freedom is always sacrificed to faith, good hunter. Or are you truly here by choice? Richter: All I'm here for is you.

    To hell with your heresy! Mankind Ill needs a Savior such as you!

  • Dracula: What is a man!? Nothing more than a miserable little pile of secrets, fight for them and die for their sins, HAVE AT YOU!

    That is a fuse of the two and it should be used!

  • Nice touch man, that would go so good together.

  • Richter: You're words are as empty as your soul. All I'm here for is you.

    To hell with your heresy! Mankind ill needs a Savior such as you!

    There I fixed it... ^^

  • The old dialogue was better.

  • "Tribute? You're a thief."

    Epic fail

  • oh i prefer the old one:

    R:"Your words are as empty as your soul...

    Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!"

    D:"What is a man? A Miserable little pile of Secrets! but enough talk! Have at you!"

    *laughs*

    love it! just love it! ^_^

    the new dialogue is good though...

  • New dialog? Whatever happened to: Richter"Tribute? You steal men's souls and make them your slaves."

    Dracula"Perhaps the same can be said about any religion" I remember it sounded something like that on the PS1.

  • SotN was much better

    WHAT IS A MAN?

  • Seriously people you all are sick...this new dialog is way more awesome...

  • All the purists need to back. Both are fine.

  • Of course I didn't play the japanese version but you know what mean

  • The old SOTN dialogue is infinitly better. I can't, for the life of me, fathom why they changed it.

  • The new dialogue dulls the entire message of the old... Though a bit bombastic, the old voice acting was way better as well.

    Anyways, thanks for sharing, now i know what folks are complaining about...

  • Old Richter voice (and maybe all voices) were better. Cheesy Dialogues were awesome. Seriousness is awesome. Damn it's hard 2 decide which 1 is the best.

  • i liked the old dialog better, not saying that the newer one is terrible, but both of the 2 are very well done in their own way.

  • In a way I kind of like the new translation as in it's more serious, but I kind of also like the cheesy old translation. But enough of this talk, have at you.

  • I did not unlocked this version in DXC so sorry.

  • I thought that this new version of SOTN will have a very good graphics but now i know that the graphics in PS1 will remain

  • Wait a minute....was that Crispin Freeman doing Dracula's voice? Considering that he voiced a certain other vampire, it's not really too surprising.

  • Is this the real SOTN in DXC? Cause my DXC is fake? I thought that the new alucard will be handsome

  • Apparently, it's Patrick Seitz (Frederic in Eternal Sonata) who voices Dracula.

  • What's Dracula said when he transforms?

    I understanding "Showtime over. Grant me powaaaahhh".

    Old version of course ;)

  • WHAT IS A MAN?

  • A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF SECRETS!!!

  • didn't Richter have a short hair cut on the PCE?

  • no he had long hair

  • on PCE he is Short Hair, in SotN long Haired but after all in SotN they used Rondo of Blood sprite which is odd since in saturn(and only there) they used different sprite

  • I liked the old one better...:(

  • Richter: Die monster! You don't belong in this world!

    Dracula: It was not by my hand that I was again given flesh. I was called here by humans, who wished to pay me tribute.

    Richter: Tribute?! You steal men's souls, and make them your slaves.

    Dracula: Perhaps the same could be said of all religions..

    Richter: Your words are as empty as your soul. Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!

    Dracula: What is a man?! A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk, have at you!

  • Some of the best dialogs and English voice acting in gaming history ruined!

  • I agree, the editing of the dialog really killed that moment for me when I played this new version.

  • True I liked Richter's voice better in the old version but oh well I'm gettin this game...

  • IMO, i would like it if they combined the original 1997 PS1 script with the new voices from DXC but thats just me. =P

  • Well, it is a little less hammy than the PlayStation one. (Dialogue aside, the best damn game on the PSX.)

  • No way. Johnny Yong Bosch does other stuff. He's the voice of Nero in Devil May Cry 4. Dave's main work was in the GunXSword anime series, which was awesome.

  • Johnny also played Adam in seasons 2 and 3 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers back in the 90s as well!

  • aww ill miss the old dialog...=( Richter:

    Die monster you dont belong in this world!

  • I'm sticking with the good old classic 1997 PS1 version that they converted over for PS3, PSP and XBox Live Arcade!

  • Holy shit that's David Vincent's voice for Richter. He's awesome!

  • David Vincent? I thought it was Johnny Yong Botsh.

  • @Ramseskun

    It's Dave Wittenberg.

  • The old dialog was better they should had just use that one insted of changing it

  • Wow, you are beyond stupid...

  • @BigBoss023

    Shut your pig ass mouth, you arrogant piece of shit. It's people like you that make the rest of the human race look like retarded swine. If you're gonna rant and rave because of a change in the game, then get the fuck out.

  • @BigBoss023

    if you really hate the new voice acting so much, then screw you just freakin turn on the japanese voice overs so you cant understand it anyway.....

  • the new dialog still sucks
