Achievements
Yes, an Xbox Live-esque achievement system - achievements for completing every case, finishing a case with no penalties, completing a case with every character (see below), and so on. There would also be secret stuff during investigation - presenting a certain piece of evidence to a certain person may earn you an achievement, as may examining a certain hidden spot. Presenting your badge to everyone would definitely be worth an achievement. These achievements, as well as bragging rights, earn you some...
Bonus Content
As well as the four main cases, there's a whole slew of neat hidden content, unlocked by earning achievements. You'd have the usual bonus stuff: concept art, sound tests, and such. You'd also have really cool stuff: a bunch of additional "mini-cases". These would only have the one court segment, and be pretty generally short, but still provide a bunch of additional gameplay. Other cool idea? Episodes of the Steel Samurai television program. Awesome. You could possibly also collect an "evidence library" throughout the game, cataloguing all the evidence you've collected - there would obviously be an achievement for filling your evidence library.
Character Selection
When replaying a case, or whenever you play a mini-case, you can select your character. You start with Apollo unlocked, and get more characters as part of the bonus content stuff. Different characters have different lines when playing, relevant to their characterisation - some characters also have "secret weapons", like Apollo's perception ability, Maya's (or Mia's or Pearl's) Magatama, and Godot's coffee cups. The other characters' stories would be non-canon, obviously...
Multiplayer
Multiplayer. Ace Attorney. The concept is indeed absurd. However, it would be awesome. Perhaps each player can be the defense, prosecution, or helper position in court - court runs the same way as normal, except during cross-examinations, in which each player may press and present separately. The character selection system would be put to use here - the different script for each character adds variety to the game. Perhaps also add a simple chat system between players, to discuss possible objections. Investigations would be more non-linear than in previous GS games, and players can collect clues from different areas - the Court Record would be shared between them.
Randomly Generated Cases
Impossible? Probably. Really cool? Definitely. Perhaps create a basic "case framework", and fill in the blanks when randomising? That'd land you with a bunch of highly similar cases, however. This is tricky because there's so much text in GS cases... you might also land in a testimony before collecting the evidence needed to contradict it, rendering the case unwinnable.
Built-In Casemaker
A casemaker. Share cases over WFC. Play them on your DS. Awesome. You probably wouldn't have custom graphics and stuff, but it'd still be awesome.
Thoughts?

Obviously, it does. I just created it, therefore it exists.
I know there's a thread called "GS5 Ideas" - it's about plot ideas for GS5, apparently. This thread is about new gameplay concepts for future GS games. They're different.

I like it, except for the multiplayer and Randomly Generated cases. All great ideas, though.
I'm not really fond of random cases either - they wouldn't really be very interesting or unique. They're only supposed to be a bit of bonus content, rather than the main cases, though.
What's your issue with multiplayer?
EDIT: Couple of other little ideas:
- When replaying a case, or playing mini-cases, you're basically in "Free Mode". You have access to the character selector, and can also choose to get access to your evidence library - this basically gives you all the evidence in your library, freely available for presentation. This can get you more funny lines from people during investigation by presenting random evidence, and will occasionally be actually useful for contradicting testimonies and the like.
- In Free Mode, you may choose to skip to any segment of a case, allowing you to bypass boring components and get to the fun stuff. Handy.
- All/most testimonies have three (or so) contradictions, found through various methods - a perception, a press-then-present, possibly Psyche-Locks, or merely a simple objection (the simple objection will be harder to spot than a more convoluted method). There's achievements for finding every contradiction in certain important testimonies, and cases become more replayable as you can try different methods of contradicting.
- Between cases, you obviously hang out in your office. You can access bonus content through your records behind the desk, start a main case by reading the newspaper, activate multiplayer with your phone, and chat to your assistant about stuff. (Additionally, maybe use dice for random cases, access the casemaker with a pencil and paper, and things like that?)

He.
Can I rename the topic somehow? I don't want people repeatedly pointing out "GS5 Ideas"... EDIT: Yay. The topic has been renamed. (just edit the original post and change the subject, for those who don't know)
Another random idea I just came up with: you can penalise the prosecution. Many prosecutors get to penalise Nick, after all. Not exactly sure how it would work, but it'd be cool.

No. I don't care whether or not you were serious, just No.
As for gameplay improvement, I'm fine as long as they cut out the random detective stuff they did in AJ (Shoe prints, Luminol, etc.) It just seemed really gimmicky and out of place every time, because you almost never really got anything out of it. If detective stuff stays, keep it consistant, not just random tools every case.
I think bonus content would be really cool, but the only thing I could actually see capcom doing would be some kind of achievement system.

Mostly agreed. Luminol was pretty cool back in 1-5 (there was some blood in practically every location to discover, and plenty of funny lines from
), but using it for, like, three seconds in 4-3 wasn't fun. Perhaps add a "tools" category to the Court Record, which contains the shoe-printing kit, Luminol, and such, which may all be used at any time? Catgrenade wrote:

Sadly, you're right. Capcom aren't going to do that much work.
My intention was that the completion of achievements will award the player with bonus content, incidentally - making just the achievement system is pretty pointless. What would the achievements do? Nothing, that's what.

Plus the amount of text needed for something like that, on top of a full sized AA game, would be insane. Think of the poor writers!
But I do like the idea of unlockable content, especially if it included a sprite viewer like in the GS Encyclopedia. That would make capping a lot easier, at least.

The entire pull of the AA series is it's story, really.
Says you. I actually enjoy figuring stuff out, too. The story is still a major aspect, but still...
Croik wrote:
Having mini-cases, generated cases, or cases where which character you play as does not affect the outcome kind of defy the entire point.
The character selection option, at least for main cases, would only be available after completing the case as the actual, canon, plot-relevant characters - the plot would still run as normal. Generated cases would be pretty much impossible anyway - even if plotless cases were acceptable, just generating a single court segment would require the writers to be duplicated as artificial intelligence and included in the DS cart
, or otherwise not have much variation 
. Mini-cases are for the people, like me, that like the figuring-stuff-out bit - they may have some bearing on the plot. Maybe. (1-5 had no effect on GS2+3, after all (yes, I know it was only added in the remake...))Croik wrote:
I'd much rather they spent time and energy on the main game rather than toss on a couple of 1-1 style cases on the end.
This is a very good point. If Capcom put in mini-cases, the actual cases would probably be rubbish, due to the extreme volume of work necessary.
Croik wrote:
Now that there are casemakers available, creating simple, 1 phase cases with no bearing on canon just for the sake of extra gameplay is something we fans can do on our own
Good point, although most casemakers don't run on a DS - which is why a built-in Capcom casemaker would be fantastic. It'd be cool to actually unlock the extra cases, though.
Croik wrote:

The amount of work, in art, programming, and writing, is indeed insane, sadly - this is the main problem with these ideas.

A sprite viewer would be cool - perhaps the "profiles" bit of the evidence library idea could allow you to sprite-view.
(Off-topic: Capping? Is it not possible to rip the sprites directly?

Yeah, like I said, a built-in casemaker. Fantastic. Perhaps you could unlock different characters, evidences, and backgrounds for use in said casemaker?
Although, if it requires friend codes to share cases, I will cry.

^ Nice idea, only all the possible content and data required would require its' own DS cart. Not to mention how hard it would be to use on the DS. Text etc. would be quite a pain. But I do like the idea. Something like that would be awesome.
I'm also really fond of the Achievement system. I'd love the get little certificates for everything I achieve, with a character postered on each certificate. Like, Gumshoe for "Collect all Evidence" or Franny for "Perfect Record", or something like that. I like those kinds of things

Uh... why exactly would the content require its own cart? It'd probably only include the stuff that's in the game anyway, after all.
Text would be very annoying - my personal favourite method regarding level editors, casemakers, etc. for DS games is to have the editor freely downloadable for PC. You make everything using the convenient mouse and keyboard, then upload your finished work to the Wifi servers, where both you, and everyone else, can download them for play on DS. (maybe with a "private" mode for stuff you don't want other people to play too)

.Adorable little certificates!
The names you're suggesting are a little dull, though - achievements on XBL have more interesting names (see the Halo Wars achievement list for an example). Possibilities:
- Showoff - present your Attorney's Badge to twenty people.
- True Lawyer - present your Attorney's Badge to everyone. (a True Lawyer can be recognised by how often he presents his badge, after all)
- Evidence Hog - complete a case without presenting any unnecessary evidence (in investigation). Most importantly, do not let any Ace Detectives have the evidence.
- von Karman Gift - finish a case without no penalties (or kill the opposing lawyer if you do receive a penalty )
- Longevity - complete a (or every?) case without save-and-quitting at any time.
- Seventeen Cups - complete every case while playing as Godot. (some of the other characters would have similar achievements)
- OBJECTION! - complete every case, with every character. (would possibly unlock a bonus case, similarly to the unlocking of 1-5)
- HOLD IT! - press every possible statement.
- TAKE THAT! - collect all evidence.
Thoughts?

Isn't that required to be able to do the case anyway?
Anyway, I think that the Ace Attorney series doesn't really need any of these new features (and I'm 100% sure that Capcom aren't going to deviate from what's already been done previously in AA 1-4)
The only gameplay improvements I want are the fixing of plot holes and typos.

All evidence, throughout the entire game - not just in individual cases.
Yes, that would normally mean just completing every case to get all the evidence. However, as possibly mentioned previously, there's some OPTIONAL ULTRA HIDDEN EVIDENCE OF AWESOME - in each case with investigation, you can go pixel-hunting to find, uh... the badges of Ace Attorneys past! (i.e. Mia, Grossberg, Diego, possibly Phoenix) One of these badges is available in each case with investigation. These earn achievements individually when found, and also count as evidence for the purposes of the TAKE THAT! achievement.
You'd also need to play through all the mini-cases to grab the remaining evidence. And, who knows? Maybe only certain characters can get some evidence, or evidence from another case can be used (via the evidence library option) to grab more evidence (like using a metal detector from a previous case to find evidence, or something).

Well, no. It doesn't need any of these features. But, hey, Phoenix didn't need to get a Magatama in GS2, and Apollo didn't need to have ultra-perception powers. They still did.
However, indeed, the chance of Capcom actually doing this stuff is as close to nothing as makes no odds.
NinjaMonkey wrote:

The sealing of plot holes is a plot idea. Typos are a writing idea. Neither of these, thus, really fit under the heading of "gameplay improvements".
Anyway, I've also had an idea regarding the creation of mini-cases. The problem with making them is that Capcom would need to spend time on it, instead of on making main cases. If we assume that my PC-to-DS casemaker idea is accepted (already a slim chance, I admit), Capcom merely need to release the casemaker a couple of months before the game itself. Then they can provide a "competition" - get the fans to make the mini-cases, and upload them to the caseservers. Capcom can browse through and pick out the best ones - fans could even help with that, if they could assign ratings to cases on the servers. A lot less work for Capcom than actually making mini-cases, assuming that the casemaker's being made anyway.

Chords of Steel - Only use the microphone feature for "OBJECTION" and "HOLD IT" etc.
Stop the Presses - Never press unless it is necessary in order to get more testimony.
Luckless Litigation - Get a guilty verdict for the first case.
Defence of Doom - Get a guilty verdict at every single testimony in the game.
Third Time Lucky - Complete the game three times.
I also think there should be an achievement for choosing the bad ending, but i don't know what it should be called.
They should have a difficulty setting as well. There would be five settings: Easy gives you a full life Bar, and Difficult gives you one fifth of your life bar. This would let you have the achievement: Dangerous Defence - complete the game in difficult.

Chords of Steel is a bit odd - you'd have it unlocked by default, but lose it if you use the buttons or touchscreen instead of the microphone. Come to think of it, Stop the Presses is a bit like that, too. Is it impossible to get these achievements if you use the touchscreen or press unnecessarily, or what?
I like the other ones, though.

Sorry. I was a bit vague.
To clarify: those two achievements seem to have a negative condition, and no boundary. For example, for my Evidence Hog achievement, the condition is "don't present any unnecessary evidence". This is a negative condition, because it's telling you to not do something. It also has a boundary, however: "complete a case". This means that you must successfully complete any case, without presenting unnecessary evidence, to earn the achievement.
Yours have a negative condition, too: "never press unless it's necessary". Only using the microphone is, in fact, also a negative condition: "don't use the buttons or touchscreen to press and present." The issue is the lack of boundary. With the current definition, you'd automatically get both these achievements when first starting the game, because you haven't pressed or presented at all, satisfying the condition of both achievements. Adjusting them as follows solves the problem easily:
- Chords of Steel - Complete a case, while only using the microphone feature for "OBJECTION" and "HOLD IT" etc.
- Stop the Presses - Complete a case, without pressing (unless it is necessary in order to get more testimony.)
Make sense now?

Few more ideas:
- Scummer - save before presenting on three consecutive cross-examinations, and reset each time after presenting the wrong evidence. (this achievement is titled regarding the practice of Save Scumming, incidentally - Google it if you are unaware of it)
- Bar Exam - complete the first case. (subsequent cases would also award achievements, the title of which would relate to the case content)
- That's A "Step"-ladder - find a stepladder or fireplace joke in one case.
- Narrow-Minded Cultural Assumption - find every stepladder and fireplace joke.
- Attentive Listener - hear at least thirty seconds of every song in the game.
- Achievement Unlocked - unlock any achievement. (pretty easy, this one...)

I remember when CR was cool and Croik was the only one in charge.
I also remember when we used to have respectable members. :(
