You're right, it does sound familiar, but it could just be me. Maybe it's the same guy who did the voice work for the previous 3 games, but in a different pitch.

What kind of name is Trucy? Someone screwed up there. How about Trudy? And why no Ema Skye being shown? I'm insulted all around by this trailer.
 
i demand that they make better names because honestly those names are horrible, i mean apollo? c'mon capcom, you guys can come up with something better than that, and trucy..............need i say more?
 
can't wait for this one. though, it will be different without phoenix as the main character. names don't bother me that much, just as long as the story is good.
 
This many games in, we should be used to all the weird names. Seriously. Capcom in general uses weird names in their games. See Megaman X series for some of the more strange.
 
[quote name='clockworkgreen']Calling for them to change the name Apollo Justice, at this point, is like saying you'd rather the sky be polka-dotted.[/QUOTE]
We can still bitch about it though!

Ugh, Apollo Justice? And I'm also saddened by the lack of Ema Skye.

Voice work?

IIRC, like all of the past PW trailers, this is the original Japanese trailer translated into English. The original trailer was made some time before Ema was revealed as a character in GS4.
 
[quote name='soccerstud652']Looks like we will have some 3D functionality like case 5 in AA.[/quote]

And this time it will be in all of the cases! Maybe 3 out of the 4 cases actually, depending on whether Case 1 is a Court-Only turnabout.
 
[quote name='soccerstud652']Looks like we will have some 3D functionality like case 5 in AA.[/QUOTE]
Yep. Unlike the PW trilogy (GS1-3), Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (GS4) was built entirely for the DS, just like the DS-exclusive Case 5 from the first game. You can examine evidence, dust for fingerprints, and use the new system to closely examine a witness, looking for certain things.

I guess the only other important name left to reveal is the new Prosecutor's name. Chances are it will be Klavier Gavin, since the names revealed so far have been the same as the German version.
 
The trailer didn't interest me that much, aside from making me happy the DS-exclusive elements are returning. Maybe it was Apollo's peacock hair that distracted me, but perhaps moreso, his name. Calling someone Apollo is one thing, but Justice? I suppose I should be used to Capcom's translation team's naming by now, but sheesh.

Even though I've already played through the Japanese Gyakuten Saiban 3 and understand that Phoenix's story arc is over, that doesn't make me miss some of the other characters. I think it was time to move on with Phoenix and his close aquaintances, as most situations had been resolved. Any further character plots would really seem a stretch.

Does anyone know if any of the old characters make cameos? Or if, say, Gumshoe is in this one?
 
Kristoph is a pretty good name, if you ask me, but Apollo Justice and Trucy annoy the hell out of me. What were they thinking?!

Ah well, I'll buy it anyway...
 
The name Kristoph seems to fit the character properly.
Seems like a "bad guy" name to me, especially since he tried to set up Phoenix in the first case.

To be honest, I don't expect many people to like Klavier Gavin, the prosecutor this time around. Importer impressions pretty much agree on one thing: He's a rock-and-roll bishie through-and-through. However, I'm not sure whether whether to LOL or stand around looking speechless after looking at these English shots of the guy:

Well, at least:
1. They gave him an accent to set him apart from the other prosecutors.
2. There's no recorded dialogue
 
What happened to the localisation team? They give us two games with great names, then suddenly every name revealed thus far is completely awful (except Kristoph).

Eh, Klavier isn't such a bad name, and I've gotten used to Apollo Justice (Trucy, I still can't stand).
 
[quote name='Cao Cao']Eh, Klavier isn't such a bad name, and I've gotten used to Apollo Justice (Trucy, I still can't stand).[/quote]IMHO trucy sounds like an idiotic name , its so ditzy :roll:
 
I don't think it's going to come to the states that quick. It would be kick ass if it did, but that soon after PW3? I think it's unlikely.
 
[quote name='Jayayess1190']Amazon.com says this game is coming in January.[/QUOTE]
A date like January 1, 2008 is an obvious placeholder meaning "Sometime in 2008, probably."
 
[quote name='spiwak']I'll be happy only if Mia makes an appearance.[/QUOTE]
Prepare to be disapointed. None of the Feys make an appearance, thankfully.
 
I can't believe this is coming in january. that just seems too fast to come out already, especially since ace attorny 3 just came out at the end of november. other than that, can't wait!
 
If it's coming in January that seems early, but it's believable. I mean, 2 & 3 were both released this year. I'm fine with whenever they want to release it since I finished #3 yesterday.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']I hope it's even half as good as 3 was...[/quote]3 is hands down one of, if not THE BEST games i have ever played, apollo has his work cut out for him
 
I just got that NP yesterday, so I can confirm it is true. It's listed in there as a February release with a short preview, and the last page of the magazine has a picture of Apollo with mention of full coverage of the game next month.
 
Epic bump.

I will definitely be buying this game, although I'm bothered by Apollos body movements during cross examination. It looks so weird.

I personally have no problems with any of the names and Trucy is an awesome name, btw.

I know it's great when good games come out once a year, like Ratchet and Clank, but THREE times a year (technically 13 months) for Phoenix/Apollo? Let's hope Capcom keeps it up.
 
[quote name='Veronica Mars']Hey,
Where should I pre-order this!
I'm having a stroke, because I wanna get a deal on it.[/QUOTE]

A deal would be 6 months after release when Amazon will have it for $15.

At release, you just missed GameStop overnighting it to you for free.
 
This may be the one of few series (of text-heavy Japanese niche games) where they've exhausted the titles so quickly. By that, I mean that with the release of this game, there's no GS5 just yet, so it's going to be a *long* wait for the next Ace Attorney game - whereas the past few years have been very kind to us with this series.

I'm glad Capcom continued to support the series in the states, and wish that more franchises were treated this way.

(just happen to be playing right now)
 
Well, Capcom put out a press release saying this one's coming on 2/12. I can't say if I'm happy about that or not, given that it's the same week as both Smash Bros. Brawl & Professor Layton.
