MGS 1 - German Voice Pls

[DerSnake]

Egal was andere sagen:
MGS 1 bitte mit den Deutschen Stimmen :D Die Stimmen sind einfach Kult und zu sehr in mein Kopf eingebrannt.

I'll be honest, I grew up with the PS1 version, so with the version where the German language was still in it and would like to experience that again exactly the same. That seems to be impossible with this version here soon.

For me it is then probably this time really: Without German Synco, I will not buy. Or if it comes hard on hard then only for 5€. That is the point.

Technically the English voice acting is already a foreign dub, since the original release only has Japanese voice acting.

no, Kojima specifically hand picked the voice actors for the English version the same as he did with the Japanese version, if not even with more care.

No he didn't. Kris Zimmerman Salter cast the English actors.

Doesn't it really matter who did what if you basically want to have the syncro you want?

The question of authorship and fidelity to the original work carries a profound underpinning. It invites us to explore the tension between authenticity and personalization in the pursuit of an ideal gaming experience.

At its core, this question challenges conventional notions of authorship and the sanctity of a creation. In the world of gaming translations, the "syncro" or synchronization of content often involves not just linguistic translation, but also adaptation to suit cultural contexts, player preferences, and technological constraints.

That said, one can argue that the ultimate goal of gaming translations is to transcend the boundaries of language and culture, facilitating a deeper connection between players and the virtual worlds they inhabit. In this pursuit, the question of "who did what" becomes less relevant, as it is the collective effort to craft an immersive experience that truly matters.

However, this perspective does not dismiss the importance of recognizing the contributions of individuals involved in the translation process. It highlights the dynamic nature of creativity and interpretation, where each participant, from the original developers to the localizers and players themselves, contributes to the evolving narrative of the game.

In essence, in the pursuit of the perfect translation the focus should shift from individual actions to the shared journey of creating a gaming experience that transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries. The "syncro you want" is a collaborative endeavor, where the synthesis of different perspectives and talents converges to create something greater than the sum of its parts – a truly immersive and universal gaming experience.

i bet $10 this was a chatgpt response.

just let people listen to the game in their native tongue if the work was already done, there's no downside to having additional options lol

To be honest I had no idea this existed... I thought there were only English and Japanese versions. But if it exists, I'm sure someone can make a mod replacing the audio files. It might be tricky, but doable.

[Plage]

Oh my... whatever.

It was here with me said only about my own opinion. I do not care how other people see it.
For me, the German localization is important, everything else is so indifferent to me, either the old localization comes back into the game or I will not buy the game. That's all I wanted to say.

I don`t know about steam, but the german dub seems to be included in the european version of the master collection:

The video from eurogamer (UK) shows it in their video at 13:42:

The NA version only shows english at 0:36:

Wow, very interesting information, thank you! That gives reason for hope. It's not that I can't play MGS in English. But the game is my childhood in German. Any other language in MGS 1 would feel wrong to me :D

I'm still suffering from PTSD because of "Deutsche Synchronisation von Metal Gear Solid". So, thanks a lot...

I second this.
This game holds a special place in my heart because of the voiceacting.
It's a shame that the original was the only one with a german voicecast.
