Yakuza 0 Nintendo Switch 2 vs PS5 (PS4 BC) Early Graphics and JP vs EN Dubbing Comparison

Looks great for Switch 2.

I hope the lip synch adjusts to the language we set...
I would hate it, if we get a english lip synch with japanes voices...
 
Played all the games before I had kids. It's hard to play the older Yakuza games now that I have kids because I can't sit and focus and read subtitles. As bad as the dub most likely will be, it's what I am gonna have to do to experience this game again.

These games are not to be played with a dub.

It is written.
 
I can see how listening to an English dub could make sense for people who are playing Yakuza for the first time. If you've played Yakuza games before, though, you've gotten used to hearing the Japanese voice actors for Kiryu and Majima, both of whom are distinctive and talented. Hearing someone else's voice coming out of Kiryu and Majima's mouths - characters you've grown to know and like - would be disconcerting and disorienting. Voices are like fingerprints. It would sort of be like hearing a friend IRL suddenly speaking with an entirely different voice - in this case, a Youtube personality's.

I love the voice actors for Kiryu and Majima. They do a great job of conveying their personalities.

I can see the advantage of not having to read subtitles, though. One disadvantage of going with the English dub, if you're new to Yakuza, is that if it turns out you like Yakuza 0 and want to experience more, it will be harder for you to get into in the earlier games. Most of those are not dubbed.

What's the problem with an English dub option again?

Yes. What other way would you define taking in sounds/language you cannot interpret with your sense of hearing.

Probably better to just say you'd rather not read translations of foreign languages than call it "gibberish".

Looks good, but please don't tell me. This is the new trend where we're just gonna compare cut scenes and say that they're the same systems?

I'm super excited for the switch too have mine pre-ordered and went to support it but man this is some deceiving marketing here. Let's see some gameplay.
 
That's a very good dub based on these few clips.

Too bad this good work is wasted on a Game Fucking Key Card.

All foreign languages are gibberish? Can you not watch foreign films at all if they're not dubbed?

If Squid Game had not gotten a dub on Netflix, I would not have bothered with it. Dealt with subs way back when I was in my late teens and early twenties watching newly released episodes of One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto. In my forties now and I'm over it. Not playing a game in Japanese, nor did I play the Witcher 3 in Polish. Certainly will not be playing Clair Obscur in French. I do not hold any reverence for the Japanese language. It does not sound cooler or any of that bullshit people obsessed with their culture spout on about.

How does it actually work, I still remember how bad it was in Yakuza 1 on PS2. You can't say the actors didn't try.
 
I would replay this for the 3rd time with it being dubbed but Yong Yea sounds so damn awful. I dont know why they went with him instead of Darryl Kurylo the original Kiryu VA.

Yes, people are for some reason extremely desperate to make it seem as if Switch 2 is more or equally powerful as the PS5

P.S. Yakuza 0 also ruined the Yakuza franchise. I'd much rather go back to the days of begging Sega to release it in the west.

Is the English Kiryu voice done by YongYea? If so, fair play... sounds excellent

Yeah, it's him.

Weird to see the sub vs dub debate on GAF, I guess it's because most of y'all have been playing this series in Japanese since way back in the day. I personally started with Like a Dragon (7) and have no problem at all with the English dub and personally think it's quite good, YongYea included.

its for woke points sadly they think the va has to be the same ethnicity as the character
 
Nice footage.

I might actually play it now that there is ENG dub

Movies I dont mind sub but games just give me dub

This isn't a ps5 native version which makes this comparison pointless. Why do people insist on putting the switch 2 on a pedestal that it has no business being on. Stop comparing this thing to machines that blow it out of the water tech wise.
