2023 was, you could say, an interesting year for video games. It unleashed a metric ton of genre-defining, record-breaking new classics, including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur’s Gate 3, but was also one of the most devastating layoff periods for gaming companies in recent history. There’s no telling what precise delights or horrors lay waiting in lovely 2024, but we can, at least, prepare ourselves for a bunch of exciting video game releases.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Preview – Here Comes Justice!
12.12.2023 - 16:53 / thesixthaxis.com / Apollo Justice
After the remastered releases of the original Phoenix Wright Trilogy and the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, it was only a matter of time until the other games in the series got a similar treatment. It has been a wait, but the games featuring my favourite attorney with is almost here – Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy. So, warm up those Chords of Steel, find yourself an adorable magician for an assistant and step into the courtroom to face off with a series of relentless prosecutors.
Those familiar with the Ace Attorney games will know what they’re getting into here, as not a lot has changed in terms of the gameplay. For those greenhorns in the courtroom, Apollo Justice falls into two main gameplay modes: investigation and courtroom. Investigation sees you moving between areas, finding evidence, speaking to witnesses and others involved with the case, and unravelling the sequence of events as you go.
In the courtroom, it’s you against the prosecutor, exposing contradictions in the testimonies of an array of quirky witnesses and others. You can find these contradictions by pressing them for more information or presenting evidence from the Court Record, resulting in a satisfying shout of “Objection!”. Unpick the testimony enough, pull apart the fibs and half truths and you can expose the facts of the case, which often results in a rather large twist.
The other mechanic that Apollo Justice has for exposing the falsehoods is the ability to ‘Perceive’ the nervous habits of those on the stands. This will slow down a particular statement and let the player examine the speaker closely to find their ticks, which can be as subtle as swallowing at a key point, or playing with the page of a book. Once you find their habit, you can expose it with evidence, just like any other contradiction.
With this new addition also comes new forensic investigation techniques such as the X-Ray Analyzer, which allows you to examine deeper layers of evidence, and the ability to rotate evidence in 3D to find more clues about the cases. So, there’s lots of little breaks in the general gameplay while you use your new tools usually with an accompanying little mini-game to play.
With updates to the graphics, as well as updated character illustrations, the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy looks excellent. There’s only a few bits that let it down, like a lot of the backgrounds of the game. These have been upscaled since the original release, for sure, but it makes the difference between the characters and setting more stark than they are on But, with the characters always taking up a large amount of the screen, the backgrounds are easy to ignore.
I’ve only sampled the first game of the trilogy so far, with Dual Destinies and Spirit of

Apollo group asteroid to pass Earth soon, says NASA; Know how big it is and how close it will get
Asteroids are mostly located in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in our solar system. However, their orbits bring them close to Earth on some occasions, potentially raising the possibility of impact. These close calls with asteroids highlight the importance of continued technological development in asteroid detection and monitoring programs such as NASA's DART test. This will help to ensure the safety of our planet from the potential impact of these space rocks. With the help of its advanced ground and space-based telescopes, NASA has tracked an asteroid whose orbit will bring it very close to Earth tomorrow, December 28. Know all about this close encounter.

Netflix teen shows are trying to let ace characters come out and explain themselves
Until my early 20s, I believed I was a “normal” sex-haver. I assumed any guilt or repulsion I felt after intimacy was a universal experience. It wasn’t until a year ago that, after hearing me mention that I had repeatedly dissociated after kissing various Tinder dates, my friend said: “You know what asexuality is, right?” I stuttered, offended; of course I knew what it meant, but only in that “jock calling the nerd asexual because he won’t ever get laid” way. She called my bluff and showed me a video from an asexual YouTuber who echoed many of my secret opinions about dating and intimacy. This set me on the path to find as many video essays about asexuality as possible, which explained that I wasn’t broken or in need of the “right person”; my love would just come from somewhere besides sex. Any blueprints for where I might find it or what that love might be instead were a mystery, as I quickly found that asexual representation in media is an absolute travesty.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Is More Brilliantly Bonkers Courtroom Drama | Push Square
The Ace Attorney series is a relatively new one for us on Planet PlayStation (can we bring that back?), with the original three games launching on PS4 in 2019 — long after they first arrived on western shores. We're now fully acquainted with the Phoenix Wright trilogy, but what happened next? While there have been a fair few spin-offs and side stories, a second trio of main titles introduced new characters and plot lines. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy brings those to PS4 in another collection, and after going hands on, it seems we're in for more of the same batty, and brilliant, legal drama nonsense.
