Microsoft has presented today Fable II at Pink Noise Studios. A full set of journalists, including 3 national televisions where present at the event. It was a real honor to host this event.
Participants witnessed a live recording of a "Fable II" advertisement and were able to question Microsoft and Pink Noise teams, including actors and artisitic directors that worked on the game localization.
Fable II is a game with a powerful artificial intelligence engine, this implicated a big challenge for the dubbing: when a major character in the game is shown from infancy to maturity, the actors needed to modulate accordingly the voices.
Fable II was also a major challenge for the Pink Noise Localization team.
A few data to give an idea of how big the job was for localizing this interactive fable:
- More than 300 000 words to translate (30 times a standard film)
- More than 200 characters dubbed by more than 50 actors
- About 250 Studio hours of recording (10 times a standard film)
The game will be released worldwide, end of October 2008.
