Capcom Announces Ace Attorney Investigations 2 for TGS

[Madmanonfire]

This is fantastic news! Though I'm slightly disappointed because, when I first saw the name of Investigations 1, I thought the next games would maybe feature other main lawyers from the series. But Edgeworth is still awesome!

And I prefer Bridge to Turnabout from AA3 as well. I don't know why, but that case just moves me deeper than almost anything I've come across so far.

Ace Attorney Investigations was a huge disappointment considering the quality of the first four games. The game would practically tell you what happened, and then ask you to repeat it, instead of the unique mystery-solving style of the first few.

But the return of de Killer looks promising. Hopefully this new one won't be as easy.

I hope the dialogue is as painfully mediocre as the last Investigations game!

 

[Zeromaeus]

Yay! A happy fan am I.

I know of one person who may have something to say about it [http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=4286857].

Awesome. I loved playing as Edgeworth in the last game. I like the idea of "chess", as well.

SPOILER WARNING!

Ooh I wish they would release more parts of the series on the iPhone.

I'm very slightly torn about this news. Investigations brings some really great stuff to the series as a whole, but I missed the quicker back-and-forth courtroom wars. I hope they trim down the number of characters talking in climactic scenes this time around.

Can't wait for this! Although now I want to play And Justice For All, it being the one AA title I haven't played.

First question: Why the hell would you play a story driven series out of order?

Second question: WHY DID YOU SKIP THE BEST CASE IN THE ENTIRE AA SERIES!?

 

[Xerosch]

WOW!!! I'm really excited for this one! Played through all five Ace Attorney games so far and never got bored. It's one of the very, very few series I'll purchase every title, regardless if the reviews.

In this particular case repetition is a good thing. Don't care if Capcom throws out another 20 Ace Attorney with the same gameplay.

"Farewell, My Tournabout" was utterly brilliant times awesome, but it was beaten by "Bridge to Turnabout" in T&T, which was utterly brilliant to the power of awesome.

In any case, an "Ace Attorney" game is always great news.

I guess there's nothing like playing a few rounds of chess in the middle of a crime scene, or something.

What is a round of chess exactly?

Don't worry, John. I feel the same as you do. And I never got around to buying Investigations either... Was a bit scared to, even though Miles Edgeworth is my favorite character...

(And if you frequented the same Ace Attorney site/forum I'm thinking of, Hello! Glad to see you got a gig for a gaming magazine! How long have you been at this?)

Awesome. Awesome. I thought I was the only one who liked the final case in "Justice for all." Good times.

As for AAI2, it sounds like a good idea. I like how (more than any other game) all 5 cases link together into one large arc. It felt very smooth flowing (until the last case when it ended... then KEPT GOING FOR ANOTHER HOUR FOR NO REASON) and was incredibly fun. Yes! Moar indeed!
