Current Events > What if the big reveal in Ace Attorney 7 is

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dick Gumshoe is Shelly de Killer's and Redd White's boss, and orchestrated many of the series' crimes from afar

---

is there actually gonna be a new ace attorney?

Will Ace Attorney 7 actually ever happen?

Obviously the big reveal is that Apollo has a third backstory that was conveniently never brought up before.

That said, Ace Attorney 7 never happening and the characters being allowed ot cling to whatever dignity they have left would be totally fine.

Why are people saying the new games are bad? I only played the DS games and even apollo justice was good
Didnt they release one fairly recently anyway? Spirit of justice or something?

I liked Dual Destinies a lot but Spirit of Justice was a wet turd.

Yea, they all were rather enjoyable in my opinion. It's just that the series never quite recovered from Apollo Justice and issues it caused. While Apollo himself who isnt necessarily a bad character has such a convoluted backstory and it drags everything down associated with it usually.

---

Last case in Spirit of Justice made Apollo based, it kinda helps that they gave him one of the best cases in the series.

---

Spirit of Justice is fucking atrocious. Dual Destinies can be enjoyable if you don't take it seriously. AJAA has its moments but is an absolute chore at points

---

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

I did think it was funny in SOJ that as soon as Maya was of legal age, he immediately started hanging out with a new underage girl.

---

SoJ was great. I have it as a close third for the series behind AA3 and AAI2.

DD was pretty good, but it went in a bit too hard on the anime stuff, and it really didn't stick its landing at all. I would have liked it way more if it had an actual conclusion, because what it tried to do just didn't really work out very well.

---

Apollo is a loser, Phoenix should be exclusively the main character

---

I liked both DD and SoJ. Dunno why they're getting hate. They were pretty straightforward Ace Attorney stuff.

---

My issue with the 3D games is that they have nothing to say and as such just meander along, Flanderizing the characters to the extreme (with the exception of Apollo, for some weird reason). I'm not even interested in evaluating the value of the cases, it's the whole that just feels like rehashed shit for the sole purpose of making more Ace Attorney games.
Dual Destinies is so lazy that it took the relatively unspoken theme of the original trilogy and tried to sell us on it being new by saying it out loud. Over and over and over again. Spirit of Justice just has no idea what to do for value and theme so it solves the issue by raising the stakes. Oh Phoenix saving the life of his clients isn't enough anymore? Well, now he also has to PUT HIS OWN LIFE ON THE LINE, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAHHH!!!!111420BLAZEIT!
Even when it does something interesting by pitting Apollo against Phoenix it has to caveat it with it only being because of blackmail rather than doing some actual development on the characters. And of course the big bad at the end looks like a bondage vampire because WOAH, XXXXTREME!!!! And I do like Turnabout Revolution and what it does accomplish well, but it's so easy to see the soullessness in it compared to say, when Farewell, My Turnabout did something similar and it actually seemed genuinely done out of love for the characters.

Doesn't help that the 3D games also have some of the absolute worst new characters. Athena is atrocious, and Sad Man Die possibly upstages Franziska as the worst prosecutor in the franchise. Of the two I'll always prefer Dual Destinies just cause Blackquil is great, and also Klavier ja baby!

Apollo Justice was really boring and it kind of stumbles in its attempts to take the franchise in a different direction, but by golly I'll always respect it for actually giving Phoenix some development. the original trilogy tried a couple of times, but largely failed. But the 3D games have just given up any attempt.

And despite this, I still enjoy playing them, because Ace Attorney is hard to screw up too much.

Aw, I like Athena. She's spunky.

DD I think was one of the lesser games, but SoJ seemed pretty on par with the rest of the series. I enjoyed it a lot.

---

Jesus Christ you guys are overly negative. Spirit of Justice is fantastic and better than 2 in every regard.

---

I wish the 4th case of SoJ had a different prosecutor, having Sadmadhi fly back to the US for that didn't make any sense when they could have probably just used Edgeworth or Franziska.

---

i'd rather play 5 hours of E.T. for the Atari 2600 than replay SoJ

---

Spirit of Justice was my favorite in the series. Dang its getting a lot of hate.

I feel like it has an outspoken group that hates it, but from what I've seen, it's generally really well-liked within the community as a whole.

So? What's the difference? You need to stop judging things by such narrow minded cultural assumptions!
