Freedom Wars grows English subtitles

With Sony pushing hard into the rest of Asia, what's the quickest way of getting its Japanese-heavy games out there? Apparently adding English subtitles seems to be the way to go, which is great news. Taken a recent Taipei exhibition at which Sony has been pushing its games and hardware, this clip shows Freedom Wars with words as nature intended.

Sure, the audio is still Japanese, but hey, that wasn't a problem with the Akira soundtrack CD 25-odd years ago, and it won't stop importers rushing to buy a game they can now enjoy semi-properly. If Asia sales do kick off, and with China opening its doors ajar, there's some hope, Sony looks to be well placed to win, and us westerners will benefit if they automatically bolt English into their future releases.



We even get the original teaser trailer in English...
