Supposedly they're going to be aiming towards the Xbox 360. I foresee another disaster.

What fun it will be to see him crash and burn again.

I don't think I know of a more egotistical a$$hole.

If you personally knew the heads of most of the video game producers/localizers, you'd think that a great majority of them were egotistical a$$holes. Ireland was just the only one with enough balls to bare his a$$hole to the world, the rest hide behind their gaming label and ten thousand pencil-pushing gimps.

Agreed why publish for the 360 in the frist place?

I mean the system is hardly suported in jpn... his new company would be better off publishing for the, PS3 dunno

He doesn't like Sony because they turned them down so many times, I'm pretty sure that's why he's going to try Microsoft this time. He also said something about this in his last WD announcement.

I liked Working Designs. It sucks that I never visited their website and see their museum. Why can't he resurrect WOrking Designs?

He might not want to be associated with the name anymore, and the industry might also not want to know WD anymore. I personally think WD got the shaft but not everyone agrees with me.

To Japanophiles, yes, WD/Vic was pretty much the focus of modern evil in the world... WD did evil things like taking way too many liberties in the script to make it more enjoyable, humorous, inserting awful US pop culture references where they just didn't belong, etc. thus violating the 'sacredness' of the original script authors' intent and all standards of decency/taste.

Like the ebonics part in Albert Odyssey for the Sega saturn? ha ha. I know what you are talking about, but the packaging was great. I did not think that they were that bad. They shouldn't have Americanised the dialogue, but that's all I have to say.

What is "Vic"?

NightWolve · « **Reply #13 on:** August 02, 2006, 04:29:34 AM »

Short for Victor.

I personally love their translation work. I loved the dialogue in Albert Odyssey, but the game was insanely bad--probably the worst RPG on the Saturn! Anyway--the dialogue was great but the game sucked so bad that it was impossible for me to play through it, and therefore I did not get to experience all the great conversations.

Magic Knight Rayearth also had a fanastic script.
