Gyakuten Saiban 4/Apollo Justice: AA

[epmode]

I enjoyed the first game, will probably pass on number 2 as everyone says it's worse, and will get around to 3 eventually.

2 is worse. Still worth playing, though. And the third game references it a *lot*, especially in the final cases.

I'm a little on the edge about this one...

The first and most obvious change in the series is Apollo himself. Many people say that he acts like a younger more inexperienced Phoenix, but will he still be right for the role?

Psyche Locks are gone. Some new system is being implemented that I've purposelessly kept myself in the dark about. I do know that it involves zooming in at a character and looking for a subtle tick to see when they're lying.

I'm also interested as to how they're going to work in new investigation techniques utilizing the touch screen. I've seen 3D crime scenes that you can investigate and footprint mold casters.

The story also seems to be quite a roller coaster ride... I've heard that the first case of this game probably has more shocking revelations than any other. It really sets things off with a bang.

The early release date may be a mixed blessing... Although they are able to localize the games in the span of a few months, the games only come out about once every two years. This early release date might leave Ace Attorney fans in the lurch for a bit...

But! I am hopeful and eager to play it. Four new cases of fun.


Oh, and there are whispers of there being a flash demo on Capcom Unity and the official Ace Attorney website sometime this month. It's probably a translated version of the Japanese demo that was released before the game came out in Japan. It was a sliver of the first case, only the intro and a little cross-examination.

Hey Phonics Right fans, the Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law game is out this week.

[Tain]

plz don't suck (apollo)

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

apparently it does (referring to Birdman).

[bbobb]

From what I hear this really isn't that good.

From what I hear this really isn't that good.

GS4/Apollo Justice or Harvey Birdman? 'Cause, yeah, Harvey Birdman has been proven fairly assy. Most of the game and investigations are done through text, from what I understand.

[bbobb]

GS4 I mean.

[Tigana]

You need to play GS2 before playing GS3. Really solid end case in that game, that's different then any other case in the series. And there are some concepts and characters introduced in that game that return in 3.

From what I've heard, GS4's cast isn't as likable as the others and the end case is an experiment that kinda fails.

[Thief Silver]

Eh the end case in 2 really started to drag on a bit towards the end, it is unique but it's not as good as case 1 or case 2's last cases.
