By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - WAY better than I was expecting going into it!
You ought to skip 35 minutes into this. It's also not as long as it seems (only 36 minutes) since the video ends with influencers and not corporate content:
Regardless of how well you can actually watch along with me, I'm here and I live-reacted to the CAPCOM Showcase of June 12, 2023. Coinciding with this event is a MASSIVE sale across your favourite game platform(s) on CAPCOM games. That includes 58% off (the biggest discount EVER on this) on the Ace Attorney Turnabout Collection, which means only $25 for FIVE Ace Attorney titles across two individual collections. (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy and The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.) This deal with these games at this time gets my highest possible recommendation. Consult your favoured digital game shop for more details. The sale ends in less than two weeks, so get going.
Now, onto the log:
[5:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: https://www.twitch.tv/capcomusa
[5:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRiEUtXKozU
[6:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: CAPCOM promises to discuss 36 minutes worth of content, featuring Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, Exoprimal, and Dragon's Dogma 2. "And more!"
[6:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: One obviously wonders what "And more!" involves. I think there will be a segment on the newly released CAPCOM TOWN. Probably something on Street Fighter 6 since it just came out to big success. And probably something on the Path of the Goddess game they just announced yesterday at the Xbox Games Showcase.
[6:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: HERE WE GO
[6:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Hello, everyone!" Good start.
[6:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: June 11, 2023 marked the company's 40th anniversary.
[6:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: AHH
[6:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: PHOENIX WRIGHT
[6:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: FROM PHOENIX WRIGHT: ACE ATTORNEY – SPIRIT OF JUSTICE
 |
| This is a spooky caption (not mine, but their caption) to have on a picture of Phoenix Wright. (There is a specific reason I know it is from Spirit of Justice, but it's a spoiler to discuss how.) |
[6:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: First thing they're showing is Path of the Goddess.
[6:04 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: The text that goes along with that Ace Attorney screenshot is...uh... probably a sign that there won't be any Ace Attorney news in this. But it'll exist in the "years to come."
[6:04 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Path of the Goddess is powered by the RE Engine in an epic action game with Japanese aesthetic.
[6:04 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess"... is Kunitsu-Gami part of the full title? I guess that's wot the Japanese characters are there.
[6:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Mega Man X DiVE Offline is coming to Android, Steam, and iOS.
[6:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: That's also part of "and more".
[6:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: So this isn't a new game or anything. But it launches in 2023.
[6:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "The Capcom Spotlight Corner."
[6:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Street Fighter 6 appears.
[6:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Talking about how it's been enthusiastically welcomed (this is true).
[6:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It'll also be at the CAPCOM Pro Tour.
[6:09 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: One million dollars going to first place.
[6:09 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Talking about a Japanese competition, which is... definitely not something I care.
[6:09 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: But there are US and European leagues too.
[6:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Moving on to Resident Evil 4 in PlayStation VR2.
[6:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "RE4's cutting edge knife action is a core part of the game" alright thanks for the pun.
[6:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: From the folks who brought us Cut Man. (And all of his puns in the Ruby-Speares cartoon.)
[6:11 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (It's spelled Ruby-Spears but I consistently spell it wrong.)
[6:11 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They're showing Pragmata, which said 2022 crossed out to 2023 crossed out to "very sorry".
[6:12 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: With a personal note about the game's delay.
 |
| Fine with me. Take your time! (We have other things to get to!) |
[6:12 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: GHOST TRICK
[6:12 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "World Premiere" from SHU TAKUMI
[6:13 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: DEMO
[6:13 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: There's a DEMO available for Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective "available now."
 |
| Shu Takumi is correct that it's GREAT. And it's big in a scale sense. (Though Ghost Trick isn't lengthy.) |
[6:14 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Shu Takumi is grateful to the fans.
[6:14 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "one more thing"
[6:14 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: He practiced two weeks to speak in ENGLISH for us.
[6:14 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I guess I gotta tell everyone to PLAY THE DEMO.
[6:14 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "From the creator of the Ace Attorney series Shu Takumi..."
[6:15 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (That's all we'll get for Ace Attorney.)
[6:15 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (Shu Takumi was too busy practicing English in order for anyone else at CAPCOM to work on a new Ace Attorney game.)
[6:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Ghost Trick launching June 30, 2023. Demo version available now THAT TRANSFERS to the full version, which also has pre-order content. (That I've pre-ordered already.)
[6:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Ghost Trick segment over. "WORLD PREMIERE" into...
[6:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: APOLLO JUSTICE
[6:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: GRDFGBNRDVNGFD
[6:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: WGAAYG
[6:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ASVDFSDXFJIBEICGREFDFDNGDF
[6:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: WHAT THE
[6:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I'M WRONG
[6:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: OMG I'M SO FLUSTERED RIGHT NOW >.<
[6:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: NOT JUST APOLLO JUSTICE
[6:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: BUT DUAL DESTINIES
[6:18 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: AND SPIRIT OF JUSTICE
[6:18 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: APOLLO JUSTICE: ACE ATTORNEY TRILOGY
 |
| The trailer for this specifically cut into Apollo's artwork in each of the three games. (That's Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney–Dual Destinies, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney–Spirit of Justice.) |
[6:18 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: COMING EARLY 2024 FOR SWITCH, PS4, XBOX ONE, PC
[6:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: YAAAY
[6:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: COMING IN FRENCH TOO
[6:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: With voice recordings for the new languages. (note the whole game isn't fully voice-acted or anything)
[6:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: MORE INFORMATION IN THE FUTURE
[6:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: CAPCOM Town segment.
[6:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Features concept art and "playing a few beloved classics for free" I dunno how to get the thing to work.
[6:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: There are also CAPCOM Elections, with the first election being Hadouken vs Shoryuken. I voted for Shoryuken.
[6:21 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Maybe I need to turn my Firefox security settings off or access the site on a mobile device.
[6:21 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Okay, now to Exoprimal (which releases next month). Takuro Hiraoka, the director of Exoprimal, did not spend two weeks practicing English, and he's instead dubbed.
[6:24 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Sorry, I'm doing a terrible job paying attention to Exoprimal's trailer.
[6:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Takuro Hiraoka asked what I thought of the Exoprimal trailer and that he shared a lot of information. None of which I retained.
[6:28 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I'm still not retaining this.
[6:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Huh? They mentioned an "Xbox Games Showcase Extended" featuring more Exoprimal.
[6:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: There's an extended version?
[6:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Not that I'm watching it.
[6:30 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: But I didn't know that was a thing, since they sure didn't mention it yesterday.
[6:30 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: There'll also be a second open beta for Exoprimal.
[6:30 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Last title: Dragon's Dogma 2. I'll try to pay attention to this one.
[6:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Hideaki Itsuno, director of Dragon's Dogma 2.
[6:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It's been a year since he talked about Dragon's Dogma 2, and now there'll be new info.
[6:32 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (I'm waiting for the new info.)
[6:33 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Dragon's Dogma originally came out in 2012. The sequel is coming out more than a decade later, with two things it's inheriting. It's a single-player game that'll feel like co-op thanks to Pawns that you can borrow from other players. It also has action roleplaying mechanics in an open-world environment.
[6:34 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Pawns are controlled by AI.
[6:34 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: You can high-five the Pawns. The game is 4x the size of the first Dragon's Dogma, powered by the RE Engine. Somehow, artificial intelligence has played a part in the world.

| See? Here's a screenshot of a cat purrson to give lip service to the rest of the showcase. She is an important NPC. |
[6:36 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Well, that's 36 minutes.
[6:36 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And what a first 20 minutes that was!
[6:36 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: OH, and they are advertising that Ace Attorney is ON SALE RIGHT NOW.
[6:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Which I'll also advertise.
[6:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: At the top of this article in my pre-log intro.
[6:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: There is a post-show with CAPCOM Creators, but I don't really care wot they have to say.
[6:39 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: wtf they're spoiling the demo in this
[6:39 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I mean it's great they love Ghost Trick.
[6:40 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Personally I'm getting chills from the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy trailer.
[6:43 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: brb getting sick from chills
Ludwig will tell you more about the Ghost Trick demo on the game's release date, June 30. But he'll have to fit some time to discuss the very unexpected but appreciated Ace Attorney news into KoopaTV's packed and dwindling schedule for June 2023. Are you as happy as Ludwig is? Let KoopaTV know in the comments section below!
The preceding CAPCOM sale was for Golden Week at the end of April.
The last CAPCOM reaction log was in March 2023.
That Dragon's Dogma anniversary live reaction is here.
Path of the Goddess was shown in the Xbox Games Showcase, here.
Ludwig bored himself with a preceding reaction log for Ubisoft, over here.
If you are wondering why Ludwig singled out French as an Ace Attorney language, it's a reference to the Benjamin Hunter saga.
Ghost Trick released on June 30.
WE WON!
ReplyDeleteWAY BETTER THAN A PIRATE SEA SHANTY.
DeleteBy far!
DeleteY'all be sure to let CAPCOM know this in their survey: https://cloud.event.capcom.com/showcase/survey?lang=en
DeleteI finished Spirit of Justice earlier this year, and I still have the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles to go through as well as Ghost Trick. I'm just surprised that at this point in time Professor Layton is getting a 7th mainline entry before Ace Attorney which came out before it. While this new collection is exciting, I'm still hoping the two Investigations games receive the HD treatment as I've never played them.
ReplyDeleteThe two Investigations games are the logical next thing to re-release if CAPCOM really doesn't want to release a new mainline entry.
DeleteI was expecting a new Ace Attorney starring Apollo Justice and the trailers were starting off with his past games to hype up the new game.
ReplyDeleteSo you expected Apollo's legal journey to continue as opposed to begin anew.
DeleteThat didn't cross my mind. ^_^;
Man! I thought we’d get a new ace attorney but this is great too! Hopefully there is some future for Ghost trick, if it sells really well they could make a sort of anthology series with the same gimmick but different characters. I think they could really freshen it up with a lot of new ideas, wonderful to see Capcom caring about its old IP.
ReplyDeleteI'll buy it and you should too. :)
DeleteI'd say, "When will they care enough to make a new game in the IP?" But Dragon's Dogma is currently proving that as we type.
