Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective launched on the Nintendo DS again in 2010, and 13 years later, it’s being remastered for the Nintendo Change. On that be aware, a current interview between the sport builders and Recreation Informer posed the query as as to if it would ever obtain a sequel.
Director Shu Takumi, producer Shingo Izumi, and port director Atsushi Maruyama all lately sat down for an e mail interview with Recreation Informer to debate how Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective got here to be, amongst many different issues, together with the chance for a sequel.
When requested if Takumi wish to see a sequel, they mentioned, “The story of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is totally advised on this single sport, so I believe it could be tough to create a sequel. Nevertheless, the powers of the useless that this sport introduces could maintain some chance.”
Izumi later added, when requested if there could be potential for a sequel in future if the remastered sport sells nicely: “Proper now, we’re dedicating all now we have to ship Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective to as many gamers as potential, so we haven’t had time to consider what we’re doing to do after that. I hope the quantity of people that play this sport is giant sufficient that it makes us wish to contemplate a sequel!”
So, there you might have it. If you’d like a Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective sequel sooner or later, you’ll wish to coerce each considered one of your folks into enjoying the sport. This shouldn’t be too arduous, contemplating that Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a superb sport that we’d say is among the finest Nintendo DS video games of all time; perhaps it’ll turn out to be considered one of our greatest Change video games of all time, too?
Recreation Informer additionally requested about how the animation in Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective works, making it nonetheless look distinctive immediately, to which Takumi shared that, “after we created the unique in 2010, movement seize wasn’t as broadly used as it’s immediately. Over 90% of the animation in Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective was animated by hand. That in all probability would not occur immediately, however I believe as a result of it was made by hand, the motion is uniquely interesting.”
I discovered this notably fascinating as a result of Takumi is right; it’s not typically that you simply see new video games from giant studios that are fully, and even majority, hand-drawn. It additionally has me desirous about Lodge Nightfall: Room 215 on Nintendo DS, which makes use of rotoscoping to animate its characters. That is one thing that I haven’t seen since! I undoubtedly miss the NDS period and all of the distinct gems you’d discover on the console, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective included.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective will launch for the Nintendo Change, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on June 30, 2023.
