Snippets of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective footage went up on various outlets, mostly focusing on a sequence in which Sissel has to save a young girl named Kamilla from the game's nearly-blind assassin. Sissel is assisted in this task by Missile, Kamilla's dog -- who, like Sissel, has recently been killed by the assassin. Sissel rewinds time, and the two have to work together to get Kamilla in a safe hiding place before the killer arrives.
After the break, see a clip from GameVideos in which Sissel and Missile manipulate Kamilla through the use of donuts. Find more at IGN and GameSpot (who has a clip of Missile's fateful showdown).
This is honestly one of my favorite games - I can`t recommend it more highly. The pace is great, the humor/seriousness balance is perfect, and I really liked the characters. I hope that all of this is preserved well in the localization... I can`t say that the bits of translation (in videos and the like) I`ve seen have really impressed me though.
It will be unfortunate the localization hurts the game... Which would be fairly easy because of the humorous character designs and art.
localization didn't hurt the Phoenix Wright games. So unless something major botch worthy happens, the game will be just fine in the west :)
And to be fair, if they showed a major amount of the game, that would spoil what looks to be something special. So far they showed enough to get me interested :D
Your honor, I would like to plead not guilty on behalf of my client, Ghost Trick, for the alleged crime of taking away resources from Ace Attorney projects.
I base this claim on the grounds that, as the above evidence clearly indicates, this game looks AWESOME.
Can't wait for it to come out! I've only poked around the Japanese flash demo, but it's still fun- even if you don't understand the the dialogue at all.
