Happy 15th Anniversary!

>>713075057 (OP)
Finally played this a few months ago, it was nice

>>713075057 (OP)
No one played this. It was ass.

This masterpiece of a game is on sale right now for a few more hours! Play it now if you haven't already: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1967430/Ghost_Trick_Phantom_Detective/

I will be gifting a code soon...

>>713075057 (OP)
Crazy how far we have come since the 10th anniversary. The remaster actually happened. Reading back the anniversary thread from 5 years ago is making me very emotional:
https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/513146125

I'm so glad I finally got around to playing and finishing it.

>>713075425
Ace Attorney 1 started as a GameBoy Color game
Ghost Trick started as a PSP game
Makes you wonder what would have happened if we were in that timeline

Sequel soon.

>>713075239
My worst fear is that the remaster sold like shit, just like the original did on the DS.
Still a miracle that we got a remaster.
Steam Chart sales estimates look really good, especially compared to other Capcom legacy re-releases. If you double the sales numbers from Steam, you probably have total number of units sold including console. Hopefully this gives Capcom more confidence in their forgotten legacy titles like God Hand and Viewtiful Joe. And of course this might give the Ace Attorney team the freedom to do more new original cool new shit

My favorite thing these past few years is seeing new people discover it and then going "I would have adored this game as a kid"

>>713075646
A sequel about what? A crossover with AA like the one with Layton would be kino imo

>>713075554
One of those games everyone should play

>>713075804
Ghost trick has always been niche but I suppose if Capcom even bothered to make a modern remaster for most platforms it's still nice

Treat yourself with a bowl of donuts, or a whole pan-fried chicken from Chicken Kitchen on this special day

>>713075804
Highest rated Capcom game on Steam, it seems

>>713075646
How would you do a sequel? New cast? The nature of the twists and turns make a direct chronological followup very difficult.

>>713075880
I would have said the same about Ace Attorney 1 if it never got a sequel. If the original developers are involved, I trust that they can cook up some good shit.

>>713075804
>Hopefully this gives Capcom more confidence in their forgotten legacy titles
All I have for Capcom is hopes and dreams. Because I love most of their non-powerhouse franchises the most.

He mentions he likes black coats, cramped spaces, playing with mice, knocking things over. He wonders if he even had a schedule to worry about when he was alive. He describes things by referring to "hind legs" and "primal urges like hunger and thirst"

Context: This was recorded during the wrap party for Ghost Trick around the time of the game's release in 2010. The amount of legendary game developers in this one room is unfathomable. Never since then has an equally small and tight-knit group of geniuses at Capcom banded together to make something as unique, intimate, and astounding.

>>713076702
Get off /v/ right now and play some fucking God Hand

Some OG Ghost Trick fans made this only a couple of days after the game came out in America and it remains the funniest thing ever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T59zK3qSRPE

I still think it's pretty neat how Ghost Trick was animated

https://www.siliconera.com/ghost-trick-director-explains-why-he-made-the-lead-character-a-ghost/

>To show how quirky these characters are we put a lot of effort into the animation. We spent time in making full body character models. What’s interesting is we made them in 3D first. Usually, people would use motion capture, but we didn’t want them to be super realistic so we didn’t go through the whole motion capture process. We made each of the 3D models by hand and hand animated to them. This gave them an element of quirkiness, weirdness, that bit of individual style. Once we had them in 3D we rendered them into the 2D sprites you’ve seen.

End result is how Ghost trick looks almost rotoscoped but nah they did all that shit by hand

I enjoyed Ghost Trick but my god it is too casual. I'm mildly into point & click games so all the puzzles solve themselves instantly. The game needed more things to inspect and interactive with, more red herrings.

>>713077437
It's weird and unfortunate they localized her name to ruin the "Cannon and Missile" naming scheme. I guess it doesn't sound girly enough, but "Kamila" just gives up on it completely.

>>713077993
I was more invested in the story than the puzzles anyways.

>>713078043
They could have called her like one of those female named cannons, like Katyusha.
Kamila is a cute name though. I dont mind.

>>713077972
i think hotel dusk showed that you can have style with rotoscoped animations but i can't deny ghost trick has great animation

Ghost Trick's influence lives one in some of the best games ever made

>>713077993
>more red herrings
whoops

Happy 15th.

>>713078204
I won't lose sleep over it, but I don't like it when translators don't even try. It's like Megaman and his sister now being "Mega and Roll." Come the fuck on. We always called him "Rock." Even in the west.

>>713077972
The game's art style was inspired by Another World and you can definitely tell that was the case

>>713075057 (OP)
I could've sworn I just finished this 4 minutes ago.

>>713077993
My main hope for a sequel is more open-ended puzzles. Maybe some physics-based stuff. The core concept still has so much potential

>>713078546
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion unless there's an interview somewhere admitting it. You're comparing rotoscoped simplistic solid colors with borderless 3D models.

>>713075057 (OP)
Pirated it when it first came out, couldn't put it down and finished it in two days. I was tempted to buy the steam HD release but I know my money won't be going to the original devs and fuck lining the pockets of modern Capcom execs.

>>713077993
It was never meant to be challenging. The main draw was the story. It was a more interact visual novel.
>then why didn't they just make it a visual novel
Because they incorporated the gameplay well enough for it to be warranted. You get a good feel for the characters during the puzzle segments in a much more interesting way than you would have with exposition.

>>713079069
Fair enough. I guess I didn't think that game was that famous over seas.

>>713076257
Unless its the crossover they wanted to do with AA, id say new cast. Maybe with a cameo of some of the old ones or a plot twist late in the game that this cute labgirl character studying ghost stuff you see repeatedly turns out to actually be a grown up Kamila.

It's funny that both Sissel and Yomiel are jerks, and the real hero of the story is Missile from the first timeline

>>713078268
i KNEW something seemed oddly familiar about tenna's animations

I didn't know there was a PC version.

>>713079218
If they introduce mostly new characters, all I know is Lynne has to show up. The rest are optional.

It's actually pretty easy to kick off a sequel when you see that a certain cat seems to be beaming with radiation of a certain type. All you need is someone to die when he's around.

>>713079068
Odd girl.

>>713079068

>>713077993
I think it's important to remember Ghost Trick is aimed at a pretty young audience. From the art direction to the difficultly level it's pretty transparent that it's a game for a kid with a DS. If they made the puzzles too difficult with a timer to pressure them kids would have just gotten frustrated and dropped it. Still love it but it is what it is.

not a layton guy but i heard this game wasnt very good, is that true?

>>713078781
How have I never seen this before. Thanks for sharing man

I wish I could play ghost trick for the first time again.

>>713080215
The layton part is kinda mid but overall it's fun game. The court battle is fun too along with the prosecutors. The overarching mystery is dogshit tho.

>>713079806
Someday.

>>713075057 (OP)
We will never get something this good again but that's okay. While it be my favourite game ever, I would never ever want a sequel unless the devs were to replace everything from the original at which point you might as well just make a spiritual (HA) successor instead of a sequel so you're not limited by expectations.
Now a crossover, that's another story.

>>713078978
As long as you're recommending the game to others.

>>713080215
The court segment was fantastic, however Layton’s was extremely weak… so much so they had to recycle twists from his games which was pathetic
They added a free DLC which can be only available if you finished the plot, it revealed they had to scrap many great ideas because working with Level5 was such a pain in the ass. That’s why afaik the usual communication and banter between the 2 teams ceased to exist ever since

>>713076403
God I love Lynne

>>713079465
Twice during the development of The Great Acttorney, Shu Takumi got admitted to the hospital due to physical burn-out. Once in 2015 and once in 2017, both during the final weeks of crunch before release of parts 1 and 2. He seemed to have physically exerted himself, like Sakurai does.

>>713079389

>>713078206
Another Code got remade for Switch, here's praying Hotel Dusk is next

>>713078929
I find it kind of frustrating that people don't recommend Ghost Trick for its own sake, but only as an appendix to Ace Attorney. You limit the kind of people who would want to check the game out if you force them to have familiarized themselves with Ace Attorney first.

>>713081208
The whole game could use more. I was surprised how little even Lynne has.

>>713080243
Playing Ghost Trick for the first time unbothered and unspoiled was kino of the highest order.

>>713079313
Apparently Missile having such an important role in the story was something added later and not decided from the start.

>>713081404
True, but if they like the storytelling in AA, they'll surely like Ghost Trick too. I have a feeling most people say that because there's a bigger chance people played an Ace Attorney.

>>713081659
That's what I've been wondering since I played GT years ago, I can only assume she's got a very...unique way of sensing people like Sissel

>>713079372
You have to get it!

>>713079383
I would like an instalment that takes place in a space station. You'd play as the ghost of a lab rat, and have to figure out why earth has vanished. You investigate floating debris in space which contains the souls of people that witnessed the final minutes of earth. You discover a massive meteor destroyed all of earth, and all the people died instantly at the same time. You then have to go back in time to destroy the meteor, which explodes into millions of small fragments, one fragment of which crashes into Temsik Park, kicking of the story of the original game. That way you can make a self-contained sort of sequel that can mechanically evolve the concept in cool ways.

>>713080243
Replaying it unlocks a whole new layer of enjoyment for the game. You'll notice all the clues and foreshadowing. It is definitely worth replaying. It became my fav game ever only after that 2nd time through.

>>713080529
I would rather have something completely original made by this team

Well it's one of the biggest twists in the game, it'd be kind of spoilsish otherwise if it was with the cat

>>713083027
Its a nice twist by itself but yeah i really dont like the reveal either. His design is too good for that.
I wonder if the original draft of the script with him being an actual detective would have worked.

Shu Takumi composed, wrote, animated, and edited this music video for the game's 3rd anniversary in 2013. I'm tearing up watching this again.

Anyone got recommendations for stuff like Ghost Trick? Nothing just hits the same. It should be as original, polished, and concise as GT.

>>713081904
Sounds like a plot whole

>>713087557
Unironically the closest to it are some old school point and click games like Day of Tentacle and Sam&Max (without the Golderg machine theme of course)

Did you know that Ghost Trick had 9 fully composed unused songs, one of which is a remix of Tifa's theme from Final Fantasy VII for some reason. Check them out here.

>>713089674
/v/s recommended games wiki.
And the game was constantly posted here in the early 2010s.

Finally played it last year, great game.
>>713089674
I think some faggot here mentioned the game a while back and I thought it had a cool aesthetic so I emulated the DS version.

>>713089674
Purely because its association with Ace Attorney.

>>713089674
I played attorney online a lot and one server i frequented had sissel as a character. I quickly searched who the fuck that even is, found the game ported to ipad and played the shit out of it.
Great game. Love it. Didnt really understand shit since i was a dumb retard back then but the soundtrack and the characters really got stuck in my brain for years, in a good way. After replaying it a few years ago and actually getting into the story this time love it even more.

On a side note - what the actual FUCK is going on? i was just thinking this entire day if he really wouldnt be able to escape the submarine at the end if the gang wasnt there to do a ghost trick, since there should be a bunch of deep sea shit to possess and escape with, and turns out its the games anniversary today. What is this magical bullshit?

>>713090517
>if he really wouldnt be able to escape the submarine at the end if the gang wasnt there to do a ghost trick, since there should be a bunch of deep sea shit to possess and escape with
especially considering his power is possessing living things, surely there would be some creature swimming down there he could hitch a ride on. or we have to assume that the submarine is so deep in the ocean that it is completely uninhabited down there

>tfw no blue gf

>>713075057 (OP)
My most obscure fun fact about this game is that it was featured in a DLC for a game no one played, complete with remixed soundtrack and all.

>>713078268
Creatively bankrupt faggot. As expected from an indie dev

>>713091692
Another one I want to mention is how Sissel's design originates from an obscure ass PS2 game called Under The Skin where you play as an alien playing pranks on people. You can disguise yourself as any NPC, and one of those NPCs became the basis for Sissel. The game seems to share some conceptual similarities with Ghost Trick, yet no single developer that worked on Under the Skin also worked on Ghost Trick. So no one really knows who designed Sissel.

the game is a beautiful ode to him. he wont be forgotten

>>713075057 (OP)
One of my favorite games of all time, played it during a huge shift in my life and reminded me of all the beauty in the world and what it means to leave behind negativity and scorn

>>713091676

>>713091676

>>713092275
I remember someone breaking this down years ago and posting comparison shots—it's freaky how closely that NPC from Under the Skin matches Sissel's silhouette and outfit. Spiky bleached hair? Check. Sharp suit-style attire? Check. The whole vibe lines up too, like both characters are stylish weirdos moving unseen through a world frozen in chaos. But you're totally right, nothing official confirms the connection, and it’s never brought up in any Ghost Trick dev interviews. Almost feels like an abandoned concept that someone subconsciously carried forward. Capcom has so many weird buried ideas in its PS2-era catalog, it wouldn't surprise me if this is just one of those design echoes that slipped through the cracks.

>>713097501
Very beautifully put. The game is so sincere in a wonderously wide-eyed sort of way. It may be true that characters talk very directly about what trauma they intend to overcome in a way that is too on the nose, yet we can see in subtler ways how that trauma has shaped their lives. I've been recommending the game to younger family members for that reason.

>>713097712
So the director once mentioned how they had to cut an entire chapter from the game, which would have involved the kidnappers Beauty and Dandy in some sort of bank heist. The only remnant of that chapter is the vault cracking scene from the credits. This part is just speculation, but what would have probably happened is that Beauty and Dandy would have died during the heist, and before their souls could regain consciousness we end up saving them. Thus Beauty would be alive again but without an orange core and at most only the most vaguest of memories of her dying. Characters like Lynne and Jowd seem to be able to sense you, so maybe Beauty only partially gained that ability in the chapter she would have died in.

>>713097974
The director Shu Takumi actually mentioned in a Japanese interview in 2023 for GT HD how this came about! I'll have to find the exact interview, but this is what I remember. The interviewer asked how Sissel's design came about, and Takumi answered that his design was based on a random character from another Capcom game that was in the QA phase at the time. Takumi needed a human protag to put into his design pitch presentation for the game which he was to give to Capcom higher ups, so he took some random character and changed him slightly. That's all the details we know. From another interview, we know that the first version of Ghost Trick started production immediately after Ace Attorney 3, which would have been early 2004. Of all the games that came out in early 2004, which would have been in QA phase at the time, Under the Skin is the only one that fits. UtS was even made in Shinji Mikami's department, Production Group 4, which was also were the Ace Attorney team worked. UtS was directed by the Resident Evil Code Veronica director if Im not mistaken. And Ace Attorney's team spun off from Dino Crisis and Resident Evil. So Shu Takumi was probably just helping to playtest the game UtS to help out a colleague director, and then stole a design from UtS to put into his next game. Question remains who made that original character for UtS, and was Ghost Trick art designer Koki Kinoshita involved at any point at all.

In that same interview Takumi mentioned that Ghost Trick wasn't in development for the DS originally, so back in 2004 it must have been either the GBA or the PSP which they were aiming for. Ghost Trick's development got put on ice until 2007, because Rise From the Ashes Ace Attorney 1 DS and Ace Attorney 4 were being developed, so by the time production resumed in 2007 it seems the project shifted to DS

>>713096516
Nearly 7 years since his passing. He passed away in the summer of 2018, shortly after Shu Takumi returned from Anime Expo to promote the second season of the Ace Attorney anime. Takumi tweeted that he likes to believe Missile waited for Takumi's return before passing

Not the hotel dusk remake we want, but the cing writer has been cooking, along with the original monster hunter music composer

hoping that dark auction turns out to be good

Game should have been called "Astral Protection"

>>713104830
I honestly don't like Rika Suzuki's writing that much in Another Code or Kyle Hyde's games. It's mostly the vibes, art style, and music, and a couple of really cool puzzles, why I like those games. And that mostly comes from director/artist Taisuke Kanasaki

Also funny to see they dropped the whole "hitler's estate" angle from the game and are now just going with Dictator X

>>713078546
The style reminds me a lot of Iji as well.

The composer Masakazu Sugimori also tweeted about it once, explaining that the track was used as an implementation test

>>713106416
Holy shit. I found it on the Silva wiki but i didn't check tcrf, thanks anon

ghost trick was a special game and it made me feel things
i have nothing else to add to the thread

was playing through the game with a friend when the remaster came out and he didn't know anything about it. and then partway through the game he's fucking looking at reddit and opens a thread called like "tip of my tongue: what's the name of the game where it turns out you've been a cat all along?" needless to say we were both a little mad about that

>>713092275
>>713100771
We have some images of what Ghost Trick looked like during prototype phase and yeah Sissel looked exactly like that guy from Under the Skin
more here https://temsikpark.github.io/info/prototype.htm

>>713108082
at least you had fun on the journey to the end, right...

>>713108082
The same thing happened to me when i checked some ghost trick pics on google images, at least it wasn't Ray's true identity

>>713108380
>>713108465
yeah that was the only thing he got spoiled on and there was still plenty of other stuff that he didn't know, but it's just crazy that he managed to avoid spoilers for a decade+ and then walks into a big one the week we decide to play it

I'd heard about this game for years
Was surprised how much "gameplay" there was, if that makes sense. The puzzles were pretty enjoyable

>>713078268
can he go one second without stealing?

>>713108082
Played the game for the first time last year, had known about the spoiler for probably over a decade at this point. It really didn't change anything for me because only towards the end it's explained HOW that spoiler would even apply

>>713104830
isnt this that weird hitler game?

>>713108785
I was spoiled so I just waited until I had completely forgotten about it and then played the game. I remembered being spoiled about something but I had no idea what.

>>713109470
kek based bad memory bro

>Look at that mad bullshit.
fuckin christ i miss the old internet

lotsa cool art in this thread, but nothing beats this

>>713109279
not anymore it seems >>713105089

>>713078268
Toby Fox stole Tenna's Delta Rune design from this obscure Ghost Trick character. I think I see the resemblance

>>713111856
When the Soul detaches in the Holiday estate I was getting some Ghost Trick flashbacks too.
I like the closet scene where you try to avoid Kris from whacking you.

Imagine being Hideki Kamiya, responsible for some of the greatest games ever made, and these are your drinking pals

When the remaster came out, Capcom shared some prologues to the game that are definitely worth reading!
https://www.capcom-games.com/ghosttrick/en-uk/prologue/
They also shared a cute story about Lynne adopting Missile for the first time
https://www.capcom-games.com/ghosttrick/en-uk/short-story/

>>713075057 (OP)
post favorite moment

>>713111964
yeah I also thought that whole bit felt kinda ghost tricky, makes sense toby would have good taste in games

>>713075057 (OP)
What will they announce?

>>713113153
when you the whole game

literally WHAT has shu been doing all these years? dgs2 came out 10 years ago and all he's done since then is supervise some ports and remasters

>>713114019
I swear if we dont find out next week >>713113906

>>713080529
Great logo, whoever made it

>>713104898
Would have given the twist away I think

>>713113075
>Ray prologue
damn man

>>713116932
You should check out the Sissel one too

>>713117124
I did, but the Ray reveal is always what gets me, because I pieced together the other big reveal before it actually happened.

>>713089674

I played the original DS demo through download play on the Wii when it came out, but I was a retarded kid and did that with multiple games that I never ended up actually playing. I finally played it when the remaster came out.

>>713075057 (OP)
So many fond memories with this game over the years. Dont think any other game will ever get close.

>>713075057 (OP)
Sissel being the cat was so stupid, it ruined the game for me, I was looking forward for some SisselXLynne romance, but God forbid you tackle romance in a kid's game, am I right? This is so dumb.

>>713120757
maybe on planet retard

>>713120757
Oh no. You're retarded.

>>713120962
>>713121178
Sissel being a cat makes no fucking sense, how did he even know human language and acquire human intelligence?

>>713121317
Oh no. You're retarded.

>>713120757
autist

>>713121317
this game has a talking dog in the tutorial

>>713120757
absolute state of muttposting

>>713123138
There's a reason that so many Ghost Trick pieces feature a big chunk of the characters (it's because every character, no matter how much time they're given, is extremely well done and likeable)

>>713123702
just a bunch of lovable weirdos

some journo leaked this a few years back
https://archive.org/details/GhostTrickPressKit
has the original high quality assets

>>713124025
are character sheets in here too?

>>713124618
no animation sheets or profile sprites. only key art. But the cool thing is all the key art is seperated into layers so you can very easily remove Sissels glasses or change their color

>>713120757
Of all reasons to hate the game...

>>713124890
That's awesome. Ill check it out later.
thanks

>>713105123
I mean, Remar was ALSO inspired by Another World.
>Technical: Graphics optimization
>Not only is Iji's graphical style made to resemble games like Another World, the few colors used in sprites and backgrounds means that they take very little space. In fact, the majority of the game's size lies in the sound effects, and the tilework and instance placements of the Sectors. Many effects and the entire final boss use lines, circles and polygons instead of sprites. What I didn't know was that some operating systems would object to Game Maker's way of doing this and slow to a crawl, which is the main reason the 1.7 update was made - porting the game to a different version of Game Maker solved that problem.

>>713105856
I've seen it referenced twice in the past week. I don't know what that means yet, but it's one hell of a coincidence.

My only complaint is that sissel can understand human speech (not transmitted thoughts through the world of the dead, actual spoken language through the speech bubbles). And its not like its airbud rules where animals can just understand people, missile can't understand humans while he's alive

>>713126078
no problem

>>713126824
Does Missile not already understand it? Am I just misremembering?

>>713075057 (OP)
I know of this game due solely to that hololive incident way back. Was this game actually of any relevance?

>>713129917
unironically one of the best games on the ds

>>713089674
I found it on the app store, played the demo, then got the game.

That's what doggies do!

>most beautiful girl in the game is evil
I hate this trope

>>713075057 (OP)
Really wished this game would've been a hit. Not saying that I want a sequel since I think the game was more than fine as a standalone experience but imo this is Shu Takumi's finest game. The guy should be acknowledged by Capcom to be a great director and be given more chances to direct new games.

>>713126824
There's no way to rectify that without being a massive giveaway. Just assume he learned from touching Lynne's mind.

>>713113906
I doubt they'll announce any new game. These are always used to give more info about games they already announced so you'll only hear more about Pragmata, RE9, MHW and SF6

>>713133902
Have they EVER announced a new game in one of these? I think they've announced remasters at most
