A Swedish game without Swedish?!?

[Gwinda]

You should be proud and of course include Swedish. Even Simplified Chinese is suported, but not Swedish

Why not let the gamers hear Swedish dialogs with subtitels?

[Rhapsodae]

They tried. But they were forced to abandon that development due to a lawsuit threat from the Jim Henson Company. It should be in the news somewhere

What? I can't even imagine what could possible deny them the means of simply adding swedish voice actors in a game.
Can't find any articles on it. Could you link it? Yes, I tried googling but nothing came up.

And so is the case with every single game developed by a Swedish team. There's no Swedish language or squad (Battlefield series) involved anywhere. We might get some guns, but that's all. But ofc German, French, Russian and Chinise is standard in games. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate it.

I can't find anything related to that on Google, or in the news section on Steam. Care to provide a source?

Jim Henson creator of the once popular Muppets. I would guess a reference to the Swedish Chef that spoke mock Swedish. I'm sure you can find a clip on YouTube. Disney now owns Jim Henson Company and they are a sue happy company. I don't know if it was a joke about lawsuits or if they did.

Going this far back 80's there better be a load of ABBA songs playing.

[WΛRMΩNGΞR]

The police, Toto, Bee Gees, George Michael, Survivor, Europe, and AC/DC.

For voice-over it'd actually prefer someone speaking English with a quite a lot of Swedish accent.
Mainly for everyone to 'get it'. While expecting some 'plot chattering' in the start being Swedish with subs. *pure speculation, as I missed the beta totally*

I guess for verbal interactions.. if there are any with some other humans, I'll expect Swedish with subtitles. Not sure how the game play out, as there are 4 people that are supposed to come in a group?

Don't expect ABBA in 1989, (if it ain't the theme song to 'The Nerd' selectable 'stereotype')
We listened to Black Metal at that time!.. and we still do.

No sane Swedish person ever play games with Swedish language interface, same with operating systems.

As my computer talked to me in English 35 years ago, I've given my computers the same treatment since then.

Working in the localization industry, I can tell you that the swedish market is basically non existent. Publishers calculate cost/gain and in 99% of the time swedish isn't supported because it's "not worth it", especially given the fact that a lot of swedes speak English pretty well.

[Pig Mac]

Every Swede below the age of 80 speak it great.. well or did, as it have to be used to stay fresh, and it doesn't don't slip in any 'Ööh' ..when the word that were supposed to come out automatically suddenly got stuck in the brain.

The game will have full Swedish localization. I rechecked their last Stream, and it were confirmed in the comments.

Not using the language on a regular basis let it degrade really fast.
Nowadays I might get sued by the 'Swedish Chef' muppet, from being more than fluent in it.
Heck I even miss both spelling and the usage of Then/Than now

[Electric Serge]

Oooh, it's a reference to the Swedish Chef! I can't remember the last time I felt this relieved to get r/whoooosh'd. In my defence, I've never seen the Muppets nor have I ever heard of that Jim guy.

Generation Zero is set in Sweden, (mostly) developed by Swedes at a Swedish studio's Swedish branch. You can't localise the native language; that's just proof reading. If anything, this is actually an example of English localisation.

Few things bother me more than movies and games that are set in non-Anglosphere countries yet have English dialogue for no valid reason. I never even finished Far Cry 4 for this reason. I genuinely like the gameplay but the fact that the dialogue is in English with a Hindi accent instead of actual Hindi is lazy, farcical and insulting.

I agree that Swedish localisation is unnecessary in most situations though. Curiously, the aforementioned title Far Cry 4 is fully subtitled in Swedish for whatever reason. Nice priorities, Ubisoft... Though subtitles are a lot cheaper than dubbing I guess, so there's that.

It is your opinion, and you have every right to express it, but man... That post went from 0 to Stefan & Krister in one sentence.

I would love to see a character/npc based on Edvin or Birger/Olvert. Amazing.

[Edgewalker]

Yeah, it would be really cool. Even though I'm not Swedish I would gladly play swedish audio + english subtitles (like I played metro, russian audio + english subs) for the improved immersion.

Din förlust, du kan ju alltid spela Krater, där pratar dom svengelska.
Eller så kanske du vill att vi svenskar ska pröjsa extra för svenska röstskådespelare? Inser du hur liten den svenska marknaden är? Finns ingen ekonomi att ha svenskt tal, så det handlar inte om att de är lata. Dock tror jag mig minnas från betan att det finns röstmeddelanden på svenska, men jag kan minnas fel.
