Ace Attorney 5 and Ace Attorney HD Collection Announced

[chyyran]

No HD collection on the 3DS?

Hmph.

5 better be on the 3DS.

And it better be localized..

*cough*Gyakuten Kenji 2*cough*

How is it an HD collection if it's on iOS?

But I'm really excited for AA5! It's probably going to be on the 3DS with an iOS port later.

I'm pretty sure Ace Attorney 1-3 already is on WiiWare, just without the "HD" in the title.

But the whole point of the new HD version is that the sprites are redrawn in HD. The WiiWare version still uses the GBA's graphics.

They traced over the original artwork. And honestly, it looks like crap. Just look at Godot's hand.

That... looks pretty nasty @soulx ... really...

 

[prowler]

soulx is taking things from neogaf again.

someone already explained what might be the case with that screenshot, it might of been from early-late stages of development (which most screenshots are!) where they forgot to put his mug there (does he ever loose his mug in game? I wouldn't know, never played past the first one)

HD here isn't an honest meaning of HD. HD is a term used in the App Store to mean it supports either retina devices (iPhone 4 and 4S) or the iPad.

It's most definitely HD when compared to the original GBA sprites.

My day. It has been made.

If the H stands for higher, yes.

I think better news would be if they would localize Gyakuten Kenji 2 or bring it to 3DS...

Like this I bet we won`t get AA5, since it seems they don`t have faith in this series succeeding in the west, which I think is a shame!

@soulx He's supposed to be holding a cup. I'm pretty sure Godot is never without his precious mug with coffee

I'm a little disappointed about the 1-3 compilation being on the iOS (though I suspect it may be ported later), I've been hoping they'd do an HD remake since the old sprites were pretty low quality. Even so, the announcement is great, can't wait for the reveal (Though I am worried about the localization).

Also, changed my avatar back in commemoration of the event

I'm confused. Some sites are reporting that it will be on android. Hope it does.

And people would cry about Capcom re-releasing essentially the same game with minor graphical upgrades. Plus it's not like people get Ace Attorney and go "OMG LOOK AT DEM GRAPHICS". You're spending more time reading the text than looking at the sprites anyway.

 

[Gahars]

I only tried the second game, but it was enjoyable enough. If this came out on any platforms I own (as unlikely as that is), I would definitely consider it.

You've got me thinking... a console release with Rayman: Origins-level animation would be a pretty damn good looking game.

They're bringing it to Android too, if you're interested.

But that's not the point. They're bringing the games to a wider audience, while (attempting to) enhance it for the Retina displays.

*pic here*

Ugh, that does look ugly. But keep in mind that these are pre-release screenshots, since I doubt they'd miss something like that before launch.

Also,

Spoiler: blocky Maya chin

I really doubt they'd miss something as blatantly ugly as this.

Ouch..That's even worse than the Godot hand..mainly since the Godot hand should have a cup there..

 

[Jakob95]

Whats so bad about that picture?

 

[Mindzpeed]

I hope AA5 is not an Apollo Justice game, he is cool but not as transcendental as Nick

 

[Foxi4]

Whats so bad about that picture?

...really?

I'll explain it - it's basically the original sprite that's been resized and doodled over with Photoshop in a vain attempt at making it look "HD" while in fact it's been raped with bezier curves and flood fills. I know people who'd do a better job colouring it, and they're not even professional artists. Look at that chin, seriously.... it looks like a helipad.

At least the backdrop is semi-high quality...

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

care to expand on this than making fail trolling remarks in every thread?

He said: "I don't like Ace Attorney, why is this series so popular? I don't get the appeal." using a meme-sentence associated with Futurama's Dr.Farnsworth.

This is correct. Reworded into "I don't like Ace Attorney and I don't like Phoenix Wright, why is this series so popular? I don't get the appeal.", you've pretty much hit the nail on the head
