I found this link through another forum. It seems to be, if this is true, released in March 12 2008. Publishers seems to be Ubi Soft. Someone who could contact Ubi Soft and ask if this is true or fake?

I know Revolution has been trying to drum up interst in a DS game.

However no official news of a DS port has been announced.

Another reason to buy a DS.

It was done already. It doesn't make sense to do it again.

Tell that to the guys who released Myst on the DS despite already on the PSP and every other home console out there.

Plus, hopefully, if true, would it be possible to get voices this time? Would be pointless without it.

Yes it would. It have been discussed in Revolutions forums, and I think it was Tony, or at least someone with technical music skills who said that you could shrink the size of the voice files but still keep a descent quality.

I think Ankh for DS features voice acting by the way.

Well I can play Sam & Max and DOTT on the DS with voices etc using ScummDS so it's possible.

Wicked! I might check that out then.

I refuse to play adventures with voices. Especially DS adventures, unless it's a game like Myst with little dialog.

Well Phoenix Wright is a DS Adventure with no voice acting and loads of dialogue, and honestly I don't think the lack of voice acting hurts the game in the slightest, mainly because the subtle animations are so effective at expressing the characters feelings. Proof that voice acting is not a vital requirement in DS adventure games.

Never the less the game doesn't interest me. There are plenty of great adventures without voices but I wouldn't know them as I don't play em.

So you refuse to play adventures with voices and you don't play the ones without voices

Make your mind up

I usually turn out the voices in adventure games (and rpgs and such) and leave the text. It feels much more confortable and natural for me.

GageBlackwood · 10-22-2007, 09:16 AM

Personally I prefer text to voices but I'll make use of them if they're present. If the voice acting is exceptional well done, however, I certainly won't miss the text. Full Throttle was is an instance of that...
