Death Stranding – Kojima Shares Beautiful Screenshot, Talks About Dubbing

Hideo Kojima has been tweeting out some spectacular looking screengrabs of the upcoming Death Stranding over the past few weeks, giving us glimpses of beautiful new locations and environments from the game, and he’s at it yet again. Taking to Twitter, Kojima shared an image showing Sam, the protagonist, standing on a cliff and looking at a distant snow-capped mountain.

In a couple of other tweets, Kojima went into the process of writing and recording the script for the game in both Japanese and English. Kojima explained that the game’s script was written first in Japanese by himself, and then got translated to English. During voice recording, modifications are made to the script to suit the scene, depending on the actor involved, while some lines are also changed to make sure that lip syncing remains consistent with both, English and Japanese voice overs. You can take a look at all of his aforementioned tweets below.

Death Stranding is out on November 8 exclusively for the PS4. Stay tuned to GamingBolt for continued coverage.

You can see the slight expression difference by watching subtitle and dubbed version in movies. For DS, the original script was written in Japanese by myself and gets translated into English. Then it moderated for each actors to make it sound cool at voice recording session. pic.twitter.com/0MtXpNiseM

Because Japanese voice over has to lip-synch with the English lines, we make slight change in the script to fit the line.
