Voice Acting - PAL edition

[jamesbuc]

I really hope there's an option to change the voices in Gex 3. I originally had the PAL version which had Danny John Jules voicing Gex and not sure the game will feel anywhere near the same without him in the helm.

[Peanut!!!!]

I'm sure it won't be too hard to mod it in.

[Naidje]

Seconded.

+1 for original UK voice acting.
I probably won't buy it there isn't an option.

[Darth]

I agree with this. Please let us use the PAL voices in the games

[Bluegills]

Yep, not having Leslie Phillips' voice is a dealbreaker for me.

[Mr. Matt Internet]

The fact we still don't know is worrying, I have a sinking feeling it will be the US VO rather than the two that people over here have nostalgia for.
At this rate will have to wait for release and then buy it based on the result.

That's the thing I checked for first in the description, a pity if it isn't in really

I also hope they bring back other languages aswell.
Really hoping thats just a placeholder on the store page.

We got a bunch of remasters the last 10 years that just were released with english VA even tho the original had multiple languages for it.

As far as official alternative dubs/localization's of the Gex games go, there's:

The PAL English dubs of Gex 2 and Gex 3 (Leslie Philips and Danny John-Jules)
The German dub of Gex 3 (Nicolas König)
The French dub of Gex 3 (Lorenzo Pancino)
The Spanish and Italian localization of Gex 3 (uses Danny John-Jules' English voice but has localized text and graphics)
The Japanese localization of Gex 1 (Unknown voice actor in cutscenes, Dana Gould in gameplay)
The Japanese dub/localization of Gex 2 (renamed 'Spin Tail') (Mitsuo Senda)

There's also bootleg localizations/dubs of all three games into Russian, but including those might present legal issues (by nature of being bootlegs).

In an ideal world, I'd love to see all of them present as options.

They probably can't sell the bootleg voices but if the Developers are smart they could get around that by adding Steam Workshop Support and let the users upload a Mod.

If they do include PAL VA they'll probably do the same playstation does just bundle in ROMs from both regions, of course then you'll be playing the games at glorious 25 fps since all LRG does is emulation m

I met the English VA for Gex at a con once and he got mad I tried to take a selfie from a distance with him in once.

Mate you're the voice of Gex chillout yeah

Considering today's trailer says it's coming "summer" despite summer ending literally today for half the planet, and the heavy mention of US TV channel "HBO®" in the store description, I'm going to make a guess that the publisher doesn't really care about the market outside the USA. Which is a shame.
