neat, I thought I heard of some voice-only games getting subs but maybe it was hardcoding them into video or the game had an easy WORDS GO HERE layer they could abuse
Hardcoding them into video is the only way it can be done IIRC.
Granted, maybe it's possible to inject custom code that would trigger displaying text on the screen to match the lines being spoken, but I don't think I've ever seen someone implement something like that from scratch, instead of reusing existing features of the UI, for a console game.
The only other alternative is the Bulk Slash approach where they basically had to revoice everything in the game with English VAs.
I've been playing UC Climax with an application that Claude made for me and it works relatively well (something similar exists already, but it requires W11 live captions, and I'm on Windows 10).
living here in reality the mtl/ai stuff can obtainment of crabstick but unfortunately it's not like there's a big crowd lining up to translate old Doraemon
My reply whenever someone starts becoming emotionally incontinent because a team dared use AI is, if not with AI, then how?
Because it's not like there's an infinite supply of people with the technical and language knowledge, with enough free time and motivation on their hands, to toil away on a game for years on end to translate it, especially if it's something obscure.
I don't expect anyone will ever translate the Gasaraki PS1 games, or bother with Power DoLLS, or Mobile Suit Gundam: Classic Operation / Advanced Operation, or Macross VF-X and VF-X2, or Macross 30.
And these aren't even the most obscure games out there. There's simply not enough talent on hand to do them all, so the only realistic way to experience these games, besides dedicating yourself to learning the language, is to go the LLM route.
