Jesus, that deep, huh? Nice that there's no delay, though.

 

[Omar310]

Oh well, at least it's still coming out

 

[GhostTrick]

Careful, your french is showing. :")

 

[Son of Sparda]

Thank God for no delay.

 

[Equanimity]

I'm glad it's still on schedule for summer.

 

[KoolAid]

Good to know it's not being delayed.

 

[GarthLordOfTheSith]

At least it's still coming out, but changing the character and voice is just unbelievably stupid.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

No delay ! Great job Sega, nice to have confirmation at least.

 

[dancingphlower]

Seems like a pretty quick turnaround.

 

[Deleted member 23212]

Are Sega going to mandate that their actors get hair follicle tests?

 

[BakedTanooki]

Phew, I'm just happy it's still coming out.
I was really worried.

 

[Windrunner]

What a boneheaded decision. Oh well, still going to get it.

 

[Bonefish]

No thanks

 

[chobel]

Coke, Not even once.

 

[Deleted member 29682]

Are they going to give him a big twirly villain moustache?

 

[asd202]

Good news.

 

[Mendrox]

Glad about no delay, sucks about him being replaced :-/ He just got...deleted.

 

[Simon-chan]

Japan doesn't fuck around when it comes to drugs, uh.

Anyway, good news.

 

[Geg]

Surprised they'll be able to do that with no delay but damn I really wish they would have been able to keep the original guy for the western release

 

[Cactuar]

Yes, thank god this didn't kill the game for us and in fact we're still getting it on time.

 

[AxeVince]

Great to hear the date is still coming on the same date.

changing the character and voice is just unbelievably stupid.

Seeing how it's law from Japan applied to a product created and sold by a japanese company, no ?
Also, it probably allows them to remove the person from the credits and payroll from sells.


Though, seeing that kind of mentality, I wonder if some will consider it is censorship.

 

[Danthrax]

YES I'm so happy about no delay, let alone it's still getting released at all!

For a second there it almost looked like the Western release would get canceled outright

Laws can be incredibly stupid. Apply my statement to their dumbass law.

 

[FHIZ]

Still think the decision is shitty but at least it's not delayed.

 

[Papertoonz]

very happy that there is no delay, this whole thing has been a mess but i'm glad this is looking like it will turn out fine

 

[Dest]

Well, at least it's still coming out. I can get back on the hype train.

Just because something is law, does not mean it cant be stupid.

From what I read in the other threads about this there's no law about scrubbing someone's public persona from existence if they're caught with drugs. It's just a cultural thing that Japanese companies are expected to do or else they're seen as supporting drug users

 

[AngelSkye]

I'm not surprised if they are going to put in some serious overtime even right now to get the voices and character model to be ready in time for both the Western release of Judgment as well as to a relaunch in sales of the game in Japan/Asia...

 

[--R]

Thank you for not delaying the game. I wonder who is going to be the new actor.

 

[Deleted member 2618]

I am SHOCKED its not delayed.

 

[DrFunk]

Well, at least no delay

Kinda impressed at how fast they're changing the model. I guess artists are working 24/7?

 

[blitzblake]

Blergh, this whole saga makes me feel really gross/uncomfortable. Might have to get this used...

 

[Weebos]

No delay is pretty surprising.

 

[Mik317]

could you imagine that on release day the new VA is seen smoking all the crack lol.

 

[Rosebud]

With this short time probably the new won't be half as good as Pierre, but yeah at least it's coming out

 

[Deleted member 176]

I'm glad I can still play it but that's still bs

different cultures and all that I guess

 

[Bedameister]

No delay is cool but still this whole thing is so ridicolous. Guy just did some coke FFS.

 

[Lashley]

Glad there's no delay

 

[alexi52]

Japan cancels people suffering with substance abuse yet they keep Pedophiles and Holocaust deniers employed


Priorities

Right? Imagine Hollywood doing this lol

 

[ianpm31]

Sega going extremely too far.

 

[mrglcs]

Crazy stuff, but glad it's not getting delayed.

The most important question is this though:

Does it have a Cabaret minigame?

 

[Desmond]

Ludicrous, definitely not patching my Japanese release.

 

[Deleted member 1607]

I can't wait to see the edits with this turn around time.

Nope

 

[Master Alucard]

uh, nice. i expected a delay, good job Sega

 

[Zem]

From what I've seen I think it's highly unlikely the new person will be as good a character. Pretty annoying now that we've seen how good and fitting the original was/is.

 

[Deleted member 42]

I'm honestly surprised it isn't getting delayed, they must've found someone very quickly

Kudos to the team
