Hey! Native italian here, I answered in http://www.giantbomb.com/assassins-creed-ii/61-22928/protest-for-real-italian-dubbers-in-ac2-voiceovers/35-246561/
Sure, you can hear it at the start of this song by Guccini: "Ho ancora la forza" -> "I still have the strenght" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkzxJAHMvtg
Some people tell me it's too much to disturb the early development, others to wait for the final product. I think I'll be ignored both ways :D Really it's not something I can do for attrite, they're too big. I think I'll pop around from time to time, while the game is being worked on in the months to come.
" @xdiesp: Isn't there a ministry in Italy that dubs every work of art or film that comes out in Italy? Won't they just do it? "
There's lots of these private companies, Ubisoft has one. The petition would suggest them to use it for the international version too. As of now, the italian one will have real italians speaking; the international one, americans faking they can (I say americans, but it could be outsourced anywhere).
" Ok before I comment on this I want to know something: Do you want the people in the game to all be speaking Italian? Or do you want actual Italians doing the voices in English? "
Nope. Cmon I'm not a maniac! :D Just italian speakers on italian roles.
" Won't the Italian release actually be in Italian anyway? "
Yes, they will. But the protest has another point. Which is to use authentic stuff instead of cheap, fake impersonators. Kind of spoils the quality value imho, since they could just call UBI Italy and get it all.
