TheVinceKnight Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Tokyo Game Show attendees will get an early chance at playing Ace Attorney 5, as Famitsu reveals this week that the game will be playable at the event later this month. Capcom has prepared a fifteen minute demo, and will even reward those who line up with a special strap as a gift.As we reported earlier, Famitsu confirms Ace Attorney 5 as a 3DS title featuring Phoenix Wright as the main character. The magazine also introduces a mysterious girl who wears yellow. She's a key person in the game, and will be properly introduced at Tokyo Game Show. Ace Attorney 5 is set one year after the events of Ace Attorney 4 and sees Phoenix Wright return to being a lawyer. The game's first chapter involves an explosion at the courthouse. The charged is a high school girl named Shinobu. She's very week and can go into spasms at any moment. In the courtroom, Wright will face off against Winston Payne's brother. Famitsu has just three screenshots, but they hint at some new gameplay systems. Like Layton vs Ace Attorney, the game will have fully 3D characters. It appears that you'll be able to select to give certain facial expressions during testimony, as there are facial expression icons on the lower screen. Based off the reports we're reading from people who get Famitsu in advance, Shu Takumi is not fully involved with Ace Attorney 5, as he's busy on Layton vs Ace Attorney. The magazine lists Motohide Eshiro as producer, Go Yamazaki as scenario director, and Noriyuki Iwadare on music. http://andriasang.co...torney_famitsu/http://blog.livedoor...s/51975541.html I'm very excited by this news, obviously.

VincentASM Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Awesome news, I was getting a bit bored waiting for Capcom to finally reveal some details. I was just joking to NTG earlier if Phoenix Wright might become the main lead of AA5 and what do you, he is ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astelaine Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Needs more Edgeworth models instead of sprites fuck the three dee ess I agree - the sprites have a certain charm and personality that a 3d model will never have. It's sort of a shame that they switched!That said, it's great to hear news about this title. :) Edited September 5, 2012 by Astelaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike-Mike Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Wow, people really must've been burnt on Apollo if Phoenix is the protagonist again. At least the game itself is canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 On the one hand, hmm yes good On another, Famitsu has just three screenshots, but they hint at some new gameplay systems. Like Layton vs Ace Attorney, the game will have fully 3D characters. It appears that you'll be able to select to give certain facial expressions during testimony, as there are facial expression icons on the lower screen.Based off the reports we're reading from people who get Famitsu in advance, Shu Takumi is not fully involved with Ace Attorney 5, as he's busy on Layton vs Ace Attorney. The magazine lists Motohide Eshiro as producer, Go Yamazaki as scenario director, and Noriyuki Iwadare on music. Arr I thought the Ace Attorney sprites were flat-out inspiring in quality. I don't doubt they're much harder/require more investment to make than 3D models, but I'm worried the same level of craftsmanship won't manage to shine through. Here's hoping whatever they try with the expressions does a little more for the game than the little mood selects did for Golden Sun. It better be worth the switch to models dammit And of course it'll be nice if they actually bring it over here and bring us up to speed somehow on whatever happened in, you know that one game (yes I'm going to remain bitter about Edgeworth's Day Out 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Very nice to see! It's awesome seeing Phoenix back in action, and it looks like I have yet another reason to get a 3DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Shogi Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Wonder if we get to see how Apollo and Tracy(I think that's her name, I forgot) is doing after the last game. Wonder who's the big mastermind this time around. Also, we need more Edgeworth games with Kay and the interpool people. That was fun. My wallet is not going to appreciate this being another 3DS game I'm going to be getting. Edited September 5, 2012 by MagicLugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I just hope they won't put all the AJ characters on a bus, it'd be stupid. And I hope they aren't going to introduce PW as a protagonist again just as a cashcow without any purpose but to please fans (if it's like Ace Attorney Investigations, it's fine. But please do not try to do the same thing Capcom has done to Megaman). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samias Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Please at least finish Apollo's story Capcom... if Apollo and Trucy aren't in this game I will be so mad. Apollo grew on me with his chords of steel but if they dropped him just because of the fandom, that seems like such a big mistake. I am also kinda ehhh on 3D rather than sprites, but it all depends on how animated those 3D characters are. Ghost Trick did a good job on the character models but they didn't really have faces in such a teeny model. Shuu Takami, the director, is not actually on the GS5 team so I just dunno... I want to like this game. I really hope it is good. I just feel like I should be tempering my own expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPSEliwoodGabriel Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 DAAAAAAAYUM I like Phoenix's new look! And I seriously hope Apollo makes an appearance... OMG what if he's a surviving victim for one of the cases?! I WANT IT, I WANT VULNERABLE APOLLO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irony Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I just want the game full stop. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo exited, I wanna make murderers cry!! I want Edgeworth, Apollo and Ema to appear- I love all three of them!!

Diortem Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Shh! Can you hear that? It's the sound of the fandom rejoicing. PHOENIX FLIPPIN' WRIGHT HAS RETURNED. I have to say, this game looks freaking awesome. The models don't look all that bad, and something tells me this is going to be all around enjoyable. Another game for my 3DS library (once it comes out). I can only imagine the lulz and the drama that will be ensuing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Needs more Edgeworth I agree - the sprites have a certain charm and personality that a 3d model will never have. It's sort of a shame that they switched! That said, it's great to hear news about this title. :) Even if they have switched to models, it at least keeps that unique "feel" that the sprite games have from those scans. I'm just glad about that part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Is it wrong for me to be more excited about this game than FE13? Because I sure am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momo Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Not very excited about this, mostly because it takes place after the unsalvagable Apollo Justice game. Apollo himself as the main character would've been fine (and preferred) but Phoenix was completely ruined, and this just makes it worse.

TheVinceKnight Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 I honestly don't mind who the Main Character is, I just want a new game. And I don't care if sprites / 3d animation is used either, again, I want a new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I hope Phoenix doesn't revert back to his GS3 style -- he looked much smarter and wise on AJ, I don't want him to become his older self again. >: I wonder who'll be the new prosecutor.

I agree. While Phoenix in GS1-3 was a fun character in his own right, GS4 Phoenix was A LOT more wise. Also, since it has been a while since we had a game with Phoenix as the main, the prosecutor will probably be Edgeworth, since that classic duo will attract a lot of people. If it's a new one, however, I can imagine him being an experienced old man like von Karma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
