Why did they get rid of all the accents in the remake, even though it was the same cast?
>>12527414She lost the technology
>>12527414Did they dub an american-born woman with a chink accent ?
>>12527420a funny obviously fake one that also sounded cute
Accents are a racist stereotypeEveryone knows that all non-Americans speak English with a pitch perfect neutral midwestern cadence, and any depiction of an accent is just racist bigoted propaganda made up by the KKK
I like Naomi's British accent...
Agreed, all the actors on TTS sounded like they were phoning it in. Even the accent-less voices (Otacon, etc.) sounded uninspired. Add that to the stupidly over-the-top animations, and you get a very mid remake, instead of a classic like the original.
>>12527414racist accents are the sort of thing you get away with once, lightning in a bottle, bringing the people back do it again 6 years later was a bridge too far.
>>12527414MGS2 already removed Mei Ling's accent in her brief cameo, so Kojima likely insisted on dropping all the accents in Twin Snakes for consistency.
>>12527441I’m not denying the subconscious programming we all feel on this topic, but can you articulate why a person displaying cultural particularity offends you? What’s the standard, that everyone needs to act like a white American liberal with a humanities degree but beyond that they can look as superficially diverse as they please?
>>12527637There were no accents in the original Japanese voice track, so that is my personal argument against accents existing in the English one.
I will post it every thread.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL734CD691841B30F6
>>12527659Can Japanese even approximate the accents of non-Japanese characters? It's kind of funny to say they shouldn't have accents when they're technically only speaking it as a convenience for the Japanese audience. Reminds me of how Kansai dialect would randomly be Southern or Brooklyn accented in American dubs in games and anime, since that's the best equivalent they could come up with.
>>12527637I'm not offended, I recognize that they were playing up mei ling's accent in a tongue and cheek way and pushing the envelope a bit, it's the sort of joke you slip in the door once.
>>12527674it wasn't really pushing the envelope, thoughit was still common to see the use of pidgin English for many dubs depicting Chinese around that time, and Mei Ling is much more eloquent than thatIt just sort of fell out of favor by the '00s
>>12527668forgot the best one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qObaKsPEp8A
the thought of someone playing Deux Ex without the porn parody tier accents saddens me
>>12527438The best theory I've heard is that TTS was a videogamified retelling of the shadow moses incident that Raiden experienced
>>12527438Did they at least fix all the errors the localization egotistically put in?
>>12527414
>>12527775Isn't that what the Big Shell's whole point was to begin with? Or even Galuade if you're counting Ghost Babel?
>>12527794bratty chink... needs correction...
>>12527775and MGS3 was Ocelot's recounting of the events
>>12527790>errorsenhancements, ken-sama, enhancements
>>12527790Do people really think this nowadays? MGS1 has the best translation of any game in that series by far
>>12529028My understanding is it's a virtual or filmic replay of events kind of like the secret theater interface
>>12527438Rob paulson absolutely sounds better as gray fox as the one caveatI really wish the original game just had rob paulson from the beginning
>>12527818Raiden underwent a VR simulation of shadow moses in his training before the big shell incident.That is what anon is referring to. That TTS is raidens VR training of the events of shadow moses
The voice actors matured by the time TTS was made.
>>12529528wow, SIX whole yearssurprised most of the cast was still alive by then
>>12527414How come Sniper Wolf has an arabic accent?
>>12529674kurdish
>>12527419yeh they lost the source code
>>12529501Ghost Babel is also implied to be one of Raiden's simulations, most notably with the trainer calling the player "Jack" once all the training missions are completed and how GB's plot and cast is essentially a bootleg copy of Shadow Moses like the Big Shell was.
