Re: Yet another remake of Lunar.

Ever since I started studying languages, the way the universal translator is used bugs the crap out of me. When you consider the cultural differences between languages, and the way they're used (for example, literal translations of set expressions and idioms), such a device would be horribly suited to anything beyond technical matters, and things where simple direct communication is important. When they show two alien races together, who probably don't speak the same language, having a cozy dinner, it just seems really wrong. I want to say that people just changed their speaking habits to suit the translator, but that obviously wouldn't apply to all of the primitive species they encounter.

It certainly didn't work as intended with the Metaphor people.

I've always preferred how Farscape explained away the language barrier.

If Game Arts went under, how are they remaking it for PSP now?

I remember reading years ago, it was even on the company's website that they were going out of business O.O

You sure it's them? I'm going to re-read the article but I distinctly remember them saying on their website they were done.
