Burnout:Revenge launched in Belgium today, I went to my local shop to pick it up.. when I came home I immediatly put the game in my Xbox and started playing.

What did I notice? I can choose between many European languages: Dutch, French, German, Swedish, Spanish etc but no damn ENGLISH!!

This makes me upset, I always play my games in English.. I don't want to hear lame translations for "Takedown", "Crashed" etc in Dutch because they are really fucked up.

For example: "Crashed" in Dutch means something like "You are the loser!"
I mean, WTF EA.. or Criterion

Seriously, I'm planning to sell this version when I get my hands on a UK version.. these translations are really that BAD. So the question is.. Will it be able to continue playing on my current save file with the UK Version? I don't know.. both are PAL versions but since they are a little bit different.. (languages)

Yeah, that kind of sucks. Even though I appreciate them translating games to my first language (Swedish), I still prefer playing in English. I remember one of the Harry Potter games (think it was the first one for PS2) released here, it was only available in Swedish. :/

I heard this news today for the first time, and holy hell what a huge screw up by EA... All the more reasons for me to get this game from the UK shore, which probably DOES have English language... Right????!!!

Take it back and order a copy from Play.com

Nothing beats getting called a retard in F-Zero GX.

I guess you should be glad this game didn't get released 4 months later like most PAL titles. :lol

 

[Grifter]

I'm shocked that EA wouldn't provide a fully localized translation along with robust language options.

 

[Chittagong]

NO. This game had all in-game texts and even the goddamn speach in FINNISH. Respect.

EDIT: All Finnish except the key phrases in English, which shouldn't be ever translated anyway: "Takedown" and "Aftershock"

 

[suikodan]

I'm shocked that any game companies wouldn't provide a fully localized translation along with robust language options for all their games in any territories.

Fixed.
