With the release of The Great Ace Attorney approaching, Capcom is doing everything for fans old and new. For those unfamiliar with Ace Attorney and its iconic gameplay elements, Capcom has released a new gameplay trailer that illustrates some of the core mechanics.
It’s a pleasure to see more of this spin-off and the different setting from the original Ace Attorney games. Since our favorite shaggy-haired defense attorney isn’t coming back anytime soon, we’ve taken his deceased ancestor instead. I am ready to see our new UK lawyers take control of Ace Attorney’s zeitgeist.
Eureka! A new trailer!
The gameplay trailer goes over the basic elements found in Ace Attorney. Each “level” brings a new murder mystery to be solved, with an investigation segment and a trial segment. During an investigation, players need to identify evidence to help defend their customers. Meanwhile, during a trial, players will cross-question and pressure witnesses, pointing out any lies with evidence gathered during the investigation.
We also get a taste of the new jury system. We’ve never seen a traditional jury in Ace Attorney before (unless it counts Apollo Justice), making this a new experience for veterans. The jury system works similar to the multi-witness mechanic in Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright. We will have to cross-examine multiple witnesses (or jurors) at the same time, rather than the usual one at a time.
There are also new elements for the investigation. There are the usual crime scene investigations, where players must find crucial evidence to use in court. But we also take a look at Course Correction, where the player must rein in detective Herlock Sholmes’ extravagant conclusions.
We will defend customers and solve mysteries when the game releases on July 27th. You can pre-order the game via Steam.
