Topic: Official Trauma Team Thread

Trauma Team is the reboot for Atlus' Trauma Center franchise. This time, you will take control of 6 surgeons who specialise in 6 different practices and each have their own story to tell. They are:

"CR-S01", general surgeon
Tomoe Tachibana, endoscopic technician
Hank Freebird, orthopedic surgeon
Maria Torres, first-response paramedic
Gabriel Cunningham, diagnostician
Naomi Kimishima, forensics examiner

Atlus are building the game on a new engine featuring stylish 3D visuals and rotation. The focus has also changed, with the operation gameplay now concentrating on precision instead of speed.

I'd suggest watching all of those; if you really want to get psyched up for Trauma Team, take a gander at the Forensics video. It's a bit of coroner autopsies and a bit of Ace Attorney-esque investigation sequences, and it looks very cool.

They should make the game of House M.D. with all those people working together.

I have Second Opinion and I am interested in this game. I don't see much that I am interested in May other than this so I will likely grab the game.
I think the forensics will likely catch the eye of new Phoenix Wright players.

[Mop it up]

Don't the current games focus on both precision AND speed? If this one has more focus on precision and downplays being quick, I would actually appreciate that. It could become more like a puzzle game, which I think would work well for this series.

[Stogi]

This game looks fantastic.

[Kairon]

This game looks fantastic.

[BeautifulShy]

So do we have any forum members that are interested in the game but haven't played the series?

[Stratos]

I'm totally pumped to try the forensics missions.

I'm totally pumped to try the forensics missions.

I take it this is because of the Phoenix Wright kick you have been on lately.

[Stratos]

Initially it's because of my obsession with CSI and Dexter and forensics in general. Phoenix Wright was connected to that, though. I seem to have an interest in solving crimes and PW games give me an exciting activity to indulge in that interest.

I missed out on much of an event to get a preview of the game, but I can certainly say, as a fan of Trauma Center, I'm excited

Good news/Bad news time:  There are two player co-op capabilities, but the option is limited to four of the six gameplay modes, rather than all of them.

I'd say more, but I really don't know more than anyone else does about the game at this point.

[Stratos]

Well, some of the modes might not make sense to have co-op.

Watch the video for the forensics mode and you can see there is little ability to have a co-op mode there as it plays out more like Ace Attorney games.

I'm very pumped for this game. When is it coming out again?

[BeautifulShy]

May 18th 2010 Stratos.

[Killer_Man_Jaro]

Look here. The fifth developer walkthrough has gone up on Atlus' YouTube channel - the First Response portion of the game.

Better and better with every video. Picking and choosing between several patients at once is a great gameplay dynamic.
There's only the Diagnosis segment of Trauma Team left to show off now.

[BeautifulShy]

This game is shaping up to be nice.
Killer_Man_Jaro could you add that video to the first post.

[Stratos]

If this takes off, I could see whole games being developed in the future off of the better parts of this game. I want to see more forensics games in the future.

[EasyCure]

I can see that too Stratos. I'm really excited for this game. I fell in love with Trauma Center: Second Opinion after getting some hands on time with it, although I did get to play the original TC on a friends DS once but she put me on a more difficult mission so i can't really say my first experience with it was enjoyable. Still, i liked the concept of the series and once getting some good play time in Second Opinion, i fell in love with the experience.

However, I've yet to beat Second Opinion, which kept me from moving on to New Blood (which i gave to my girlfriend as a gift). Still.. i really want to check out this new iteration, especially with all the different styles of gameplay. I'm just not sure yet if I'll get it day one.. If I do, i don't expect to play it for a few months after.

[kraken613]

I only played the first Trauma Center on Wii. I loved it and depending on what people think of this I might pick it up!

[Killer_Man_Jaro]

Finally, every cat is out of the Trauma Team bag. It's the Diagnosis Developer Walkthrough.

Anybody who enjoys the TV drama House M.D. should get a kick out of this particular mode.

[Halbred]

Hell yes.

[BlackNMild2k1]

They better advertise the hell out of this game, it looks really interesting and unique.

Focus on the Diagnosis portion during the final episodes of House this season and focus on all the other relevant parts during other relevant shows, like First Response for Trauma, Forensics for CSI/L&O and everything else for shows like Grey's Anatomy, Mercy, Scrubs and The Doctors.
