There is dialog for the old man and lady before you meet them near the library.Ĭomment on Re-dub voice actors : God I really hate it when they use Anime voice actor's to do video games, especially when their voices don't suit the characters, I mean really did they even looked at them and think that there voice's sound like it would come from them. Re-dub donesn't have those lines of dialogue. You can ask Hugo about your time travel device, don't remember that. The Lady which gives you the map only says the map key is the square button, but in the original version the woman says a variation depending on which key you have the map button set to.Ĭat Collor Don't remember that in the antique store. The dub actor for the death sequence is changed to a distorted voice in the re-dub but Eike does it in the original version. The camera sound effect is changed to a modern sounding one but the camera is from 1902, so why is the sound effect more modern ? The pronunciation of the names have been corrected. The Vase smashing sound was also changed. They even changed the mobile phone ringing sound and for what reason ? Just for the sake of updating it ?

When using lighter or phone they changed 'Lord Almighty' to 'Good Heaven's', it's not like the original line was offensive or are they just tring to be politcally correct, wouldn't want to offend any muslim's now would we. When the assassin tries to kill Eike while he's watching the juggler, the re-dub added background noise of the crowd cheering. The radio ad is noticeably louder in the re-dub. I like the Digi-pad better because it reminds me of Digimon. The Digi-pad is now called the Z-Pad, with the Z standing for Zeit which is German for time. A List of Notes I made while making the mod:Īlot of the sentences remain the same but some lines had small changes such as changing a word or two.
