Language Selection in translated Version?
Hey... just wondering: Is it possible, to choose the language at the installation of (for example) the german version of sam&max?
It's coming out soon here in germany and it would save me some costs, to just order the german version.. but since I'm not that big of a fan of translations (I like watching tv-series in original language - if english - more than the synchro, either), I would be pretty happy, to be able choosing the original sound and text
so, before I order and get disappointed, I thought, I just asked here..
-> is it possible? Or do I have to order the english Version, if I want the original stuff?

I think that Diffrence is at installation outher than in-game though.
Where do you live aka. country and we could help more
and from what you wrote, it seems like that shouldn't be a problem, so thank you
And don't forget the Italian subtitles for the English version.
I made the terrible mistake to install it in german and want to change it to english now. Do I really have to de- and reinstall it just to change the language?
A tiny change? Or hours and hours of dialogue in a different language?
IIRC the setup installed all languages of the game. the dialogs are the same if you compare the different languages, the rhythm and the sentence order, too - just the words are different.
If I would program a game or program in different languages I would simply use a database.
I dont wanna sound like a smartass, but if you can do better, what are you waiting for?
Instead of being glad for getting all language versions with the DVD you complain that its too difficult to change it? Say, have you bashed Lucasarts aswell? Since all you got on that lousy cd back then was one language version.
okay, okay, okay, if you say so ........ :rolleyes:
Yeah, the game uses an automated lip-sync system, based on the installed language... although i don't know if those resource files are stored with the speech-files or separately.
And are you sure that ALL language-files are installed on the HDD, no matter which language you choose for the game?
Well you better learn to inform yourself before tryin too hard to make a fool out of others, Kid.
You're right that being able to switch between languages after installation would have been a better user experience, but we had to evaluate what we had the resources to do against how important it was, and based on the amount of work and time it would have taken to implement a relatively minor convenience, a decision was made to do it this way. Sorry it means having to uninstall and reinstall.
(That's probably a lot more information than you wanted, I just don't want anyone to think we're idiots who don't realize that uninstalling and reinstalling in another language isn't the most convenient way to switch between languages. We're not idiots and we do realize that. )
Anyway I still won't deinstall just to change the language.
And yet there is. Amazing.
As it is I'm a bit bothered by how games take up so much space, and then still require the disc in drive even though it won't read any of it, however trivial the data might be. Know it is for access speed everything gets copied, but could be neat if someone actually made something work.
Played Marvel ultimate alliance. 8 GB install. Several hours of gameplay, but would've been good if it'd give me the choice for caching. For starters it'd just install what would be needed for the first couple of missions. As you make progress through those it'd in the background cache in data for the next one and remove data for some you've already passed. Should be an option so people don't get surprised at long load time if they load an older save, but would've been a nice way to preserve space. Chronically out of space people like me would probably also tend to think installing all lanugages at the same time would be a stupid choice.
If anything the installer could've been updated to uninstall the desired files for language and install the new one.
