This Is How 40/40 Famitsu Score Skyrim Sounds in Japanese

SHARE:

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim made history by becoming the first Western developed game aimed at a traditional audience that has managed to get a perfect 40 out of 40 score in the well-known Japanese magazine Famitsu.

And now the publisher has released a new trailer for the game which builds upon the score and shows how the game will sound with the Japanese voice work applied.

In Japan the game will be launched on December 8 and players will get a fully localized version.

Despite the very good review score it is highly unlikely that Skyrim will sell a lot of copies on the Japanese market, considering the type of role playing game that the public prefers.

In the rest of the world the new Elder Scrolls has managed to do very well for Bethesda, creating more than 3.5 million in sales during the first day on shelves with as many copies shipped to stores before launch and probably sold by now.

This is the same culture where the older gamers declared Bioshock to feel "cheap" after playing it for 30 seconds (They didn't even get to the parts where it cleverly deconstructs Ayn Rands philosophies! What the hell people?)
