Capcom talks Ghost Trick sequel possibilities, 3DS interest and more

A portion of a Dtoid interview with Shu Takumi…

Dtoid: Could we see a sequel?

Hsu: The same thing happened with Ace Attorney. When they originally made the first Ace Attorney, they put everything into it, not really thinking about making it a sequel, not knowing if they could even get a sequel. Same thing for Ghost Trick. If people really want a sequel, if there is really a demand for it, we’d certainly love to create a sequel or whatever down the line. But right now, we’re just happy with Ghost Trick having made that game, putting everything into it.

Dtoid: I’m sure the 3DS is with Capcom now, and considering Shu Takumi has worked with the DS almost exclusively for almost the last few years. How does he feel about the 3DS, and if he is looking forward to anything with that handheld.

Hsu: One of the things he feels is spectacular about the 3DS is you don’t have to wear any of these crazy goggles, you know, and it’s awesome that you can just see some 3D, and it’s just on the screen. That’s something really great about the 3DS. Definitely, in terms of something he is looking forward to or wanting to do with it, making mystery games is something on any hardware. The basics of a good mystery game is a good story and a good game mechanic. It’s not something where you are like “it has to be on the 3DS or it has to be on this machine.” But definitely if the 3D aspect could bring something to the genre, if he could actually use the 3D in a way where you can only use it with the 3D, that would really be something great and something we would like to do and incorporate into a game.
