in case you didn't know a japanese guy saying 'konnichi wa' isn't going to have the same syllables as an american saying 'hello'
yeah and japanese has all the properties of a language that i said
but the game characters aren't saying "konnichi wa," they're saying random phonemes
Real languages aren't random phonemes. Have a person speak to me in german, french, spanish, russian, japanese or any (common) language that I know absolutely nothing of (or in the case of german, very little), and I will, most of them time, be able to tell you what language they're speaking, even though I know nothing of what they're saying. And that's not some special skill of mine, I think most people should be able to do the same to some extent. This works because real languages have a specific feel to them, not just random phonemes.
2k gave evolve terrible reviews due to high pricing yet 2k also has their title on an extremely popular shooter franchise, "Borderlands", and valve owns cs:go, and tf2, which (other then being shooters) are entirely different
explain how nintendo is any different
I'm not saying anything about
what games are made, I'm talking about
how they're made
The
games are entirely different, but the way the
business operates is still the same, and thus the way to develop, and what they prioritize development on, is the same
There is simply no business case to be made for creating an entire language for a game with only a small amount of lines. It simply doesn't add anything. Also add in the fact that their probable target audience for this game (kids) just
doesn't carealso how would it take up more space on a disk to have voice actors speaking an actual language then not speaking an actual language
that doesn't make much sense
smells like you're the one speaking gibberish.....
Voice actors speaking an actual language requires a recording of
every single line in the game (although admittedly because there's few lines in Splatoon, the size difference is less significant)
Gibberish syllables requires
just a handful of single phoneme recordings (and it's possible they're not even recorded at all, just synthesized), which can be randomly assembled. And then a few preselected arrangements of phonemes for key phrases such as the "stay fresh"
its not really THAT expensive to make up a new language, just look at final fantasy X
substitution ciphers yo
invader zim just made new symbols for English letters so yeah lol
These aren't languages, they're ciphers. Tiki even used the word 'cipher'
taking a cipher and calling it a language doesn't magically make it a language. It's still just encoded english
see
they actually have
you know
words
and grammar
and structure
and a general feel that evolved with and reflects the culture of the language's speakers
