Reverse the development of referee 4

The director of the game is Chongchong Endo, and the producer is Matsukawa of Mi Miao. In an early press release, the producers told Famitong that they planned to "do something that they had not been able to join the reverse referee before" and CAPCOM staff would voice the Fami role. Qiao Zhou thought that the past three sets of works in the series had already constituted a huge story, so he knew that when he decided to develop Reversing Referee 4, he wanted to create a brand-new story, and he didn't want Tang Longyi to appear in the new story again. However, at the request of the company's top management, Chengbutang was able to continue playing. The company also requires that the referee system be added to the game. Developers will also have many strange ideas when they conceive new elements, such as "ballistic problems" and "montage of prisoners' faces". Finally decided to join the "see through" system. When the protagonist uses "see through", the picture is black and white, but at first it was considered to be expressed in color.

At the Tokyo Game Show in 2006, you can try a sample version of this game. In 2006, "Reversing Referee 4" won the 2006 Future Game Award (Japan's "Grand Prize 2006") before it was released, on the grounds that "people who came to Tokyo Game Show in 2006 had fun while playing. In addition, the emergence of new roles and other factors that make participants full of expectations for the release have also been recognized by the jury. "

The second story of the game, "Reverse Chain Angle", was the story that Qiao Zhou thought of when he joined Capcom ten years ago. The movie in the third story "Inverted Serenade" is made by using motion capture system, which is the first time in this series to use this technology. In this film, Miloga's "actor" is a member of the R&D team. Tuch is also responsible for character design. The protagonist of this game is no longer a stepping stone to the first three works. The design of the new protagonist is based on the spirit of a passionate man, and the design department is leading the role design. The appearance of the protagonist is quite different from the original public version. When Qiao Zhou thought of the name of Long Yicheng Butang, because he thought that "so that's it" was the most important element in the mystery novel, he took "Chengbutang" (pronounced the same as "so that's it") as the name of the protagonist. Because "so it is" is the best choice in his mind, he said that it is difficult to choose a name that can rival "so it is". He once thought of "Sudden" as his name. Finally, his thoughts returned to suspense, thinking that the most important thing in suspense is "surprise", so he took "Wang Nixi" (pronounced "surprise" homonym, both Odoroki) as the surname of the new protagonist. After the development team heard this name, it felt quite appropriate. The name of the new protagonist "Fajie" was also invented by Qiao Zhou. Later, when adding Chinese characters to Odoroki, because "Wang" and ""are both "shining characters", the team had a discussion about whether to use the word "mud" or not, and even joked that the word "Wang" should be changed to "dirty".

After the game is translated into English, the localized name "Phoenix Wright" of Chengbu Hall will be put into the game name. From a photo taken in Nintendo, Europe, we can see that the localized name of the new protagonist Apollo Justice is "Apollo Justice" and the name of the game is changed to "Apollo Justice: Ace Lawyer". This translation was officially made public in the English trailer displayed at the Tokyo Game Show in 2007. The geochemical group held 22 meetings to decide the name "Apollo". The word "Apollo" comes from Apollo and the Apollo program.

The former heroine Maya Fey did not appear in the story, but was replaced by magician Minuki Naruhodou. Because Maya Fey is a psychic, the identity of the new heroine can't be as ordinary as "a girl who is good at playing the piano". In the design process, the heroine was once set as the daughter of a big businessman who could see through all the testimony, and would say, "Wang Nishi, the current testimony is 350 yen!" " Lines. The designer once put forward the idea of ninja, but Qiao Zhou didn't want the new heroine to come from the countryside like Maya Fey, so she didn't adopt this suggestion. In terms of personality, the beauty crown is set as "precocious" and "a girl who can be brave". On April 12, 2007, the limited edition of the game was released in Japan, with headphones, DS card of Reversing Referee and a DVD. In addition, people who pre-order in GameStop and other online CAPCOM stores can get a "Apollo Justice" key chain. The TV advertisement of this game began to broadcast on March 27th of the same year. Like the previous series, lawyer Maruyama also participated in the performance of this advertisement. During April of the same year, large advertising posters of this game were posted at major stations in Japan, including the bust of Maruyama's lawyer and the slogan of the game "shoo-shoo".
