Ace Attorney 5 will not feature full voice acting
10/27/12 10:20am
During a recent interview with Nintendo Dream Magazine (translated by Siliconera), it seemed Ace Attorney 5 producer Motohide Eshiro said the game would prominently feature voice acting but it turn’s out this isn’t actually the case.
It turns out one of two things happened. Either the interview was slightly mistranslated or Eshiro misspoke, as the game won’t actually feature much voice acting.
Cacpom community manager Brett Elston recently cleared things up on his Twitter feed:
“Saw some posts saying AA5 will have full voice acting - not the case. Just those iconic key phrases! Maybe a mistranslated interview?”
Eshiro must have meant to say the “iconic key phrases” were being re-recorded to match the 3DS’ superior sound quality.
I have to say while I do find this development to be a bit on the disappointing side; I don’t actually mind the lack of voice acting too much. Just as long as the writing is as sharp as ever of course.
What do you think g1s? Is this minimal use of voice acting worth raising an “Objection!” over?

Since the 3DS has enhanced capabilities I cannot understand the logic why wouldn't you fully voice the game. It would make the game that much more enjoyable. Of course there is always the possibility of it being terrible. But if a game like Kid Icarus can be fully voiced so can pretty much every other game on the console. Besides there are literally over hour long fan cases on youtube that are fully voiced. It's not a deal breaker but I would still want voice acting because the games would be interesting to hear especially since the characters are all incredibly unique and memorable.

maybe for cutscenes a voice isn't that bad but not when you're in court

I'm okay with this. I'd be okay either way, but this way I won't have to read all the reviews where people rage on about "That's not the way Phoenix should sound! U mak him sound turrible! Make a patch to change it!"...that last one was just a dig on the Mass Effect goons, but I could see it happening. lol

If it weren't for people like them I would be playing an XCOM first person shooter right now instead of a kick ass strategy game, maybe you should think about that, Plus the Mass Effect thing was so long ago, bringing it up now is just trolling.

Well, there is a difference between complaining that they are adding a voice to a character that hasn't been voiced before and changing the entire genre of a game, though. That's worth rising up to speak on. Also, I don't think that it would be considered trolling that because a precedent has been established that if people don't like something and can get an entire crucial part of a game changed by complaining, that I could easily foresee it happening again. As I said earlier in my first post, I'm okay either way, since it's their IP and they have the right to do what they want with it. I'm playing Phoenix Wright either way.
RealAlphaMail
Wright's catch phrases are all voiced and he's voiced in MvC, so he already has a voice, no one complained about that. Also I was comparing XCOM to Mass Effect not Phoenix Wright.
Plus your second comment contradicts you. You said there is a difference between complaining about voices and complaining about genre, well there is also a difference with complaining about the end of trilogy of games, that a lot of people put loads of time and money in and were promised by the company that made these games that they would not do what they ultimately ended up doing.
So comparing people complaining about voices to people complaining about their favorite game series lack luster ending months after it has died down and calling them Goons is trolling.

Wow...okay. You win.
