Sweet, after I tried the first one I held back until the second translation was released. Although I feel guilty for trying the remakes before beating the earlier games.

Wasn't the first one's translation very abbreviated/shortened or some such?

The item/spell/character names were abbreviated, but it wasn't that bad. If you've played the original it's not really much of a problem.

The description of the second one seems like it may even be less of an issue. Apparently names were revised, but just because a straight translation wouldn't make sense (A piece of armor would have been named armor armor, shit like that).

Kinda sad that instead of translating games, Gemini wants to make a Gun Survivor remake.

Gun Survivor.........:retarded:

I am as big Resi fan as the next guy, but this is a totally wasted effort. Alright, I played it at a young age, so I didn't rip it to shreds then, since I got some enjoyment out of it.
I don't really want to experience it in the classic RE mode, no matter how I love that gameplay style.

Yeah, sure, but I'd rather play Little Princess 2 or Soul Hackers than re-playing a short light-gun game, which wasn't even supposed to be like the classic RE's all that much.

Its not a light gun game though, he is taking the story and somewhat redoing it with the normal RE3 walk around type environment.

What I should've said is that the game was originally a light-gun game, so re-doing it in a classic RE style is ultimately a wasted effort, because it wasn't made to be like that in the first place. Why should they painstakingly remake a short light-gun game with pre-rendered backgrounds and everything?

Here is a news announcement for the translation of the Japanese title Battle Storm into English! In this strategic warfare game, you can take control of Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris, Eddie Murphy, Bruce Lee, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fight it out on the battlefield with tanks, helicopters, jets, and missiles in order to destroy the opponents base! Everything has been translated except for the small dialogue when you enter the 2 secret maps in the game where you will face 2 enemies from action movies!

A guy who has never worked on a fan translation before and can't translate himself nevertheless feels very strongly about a particular game he may or may not have played due to the language barrier, enough to want to start a fan translation project. Does anyone else think something here is odd?
I don't know,seems like a typical mod project minus the delicious drama.
