Looks more like Persona 3/4's style than Second Opinion, probably to help sales in Japan. It's also been rebranded Hospital there, it has Caduceus nowhere in the title like the first 4 games did. That is tentative but I think these changes are being made to help it there too.

I remember first seeing the change in Second Opinion from generic animu to Soejima's art and being pretty thrown off at first, but it's honestly a much better style. It's pretty crazy going from UTK1 with its rather budget presentation and menus to UTK2, which looks ten times more professional and polished.

 

[shykyoichi]

Go Atlus! Waiting for more news and screens.

Maria is going after the Chie look. The prisoner's clothes are sort of funny.

I liked Trauma Center and Second Opinion, but just didn't really have any interest in Trauma Center 2 or New Blood. Still... I guess they might be doing enough new stuff with this one that I think I'll get it when it comes out here next year.

It wasn't Soejima.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Smoking doctors? :O

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Smoking doctors? :O

This is a surprise? Or are you referring to the females?

 

[Johann]

Smoking doctors? :O

It might be a magical toothpick... with magical cigarette ash falling out of it.

Why do I get the feeling I've seen the characters before.

 

[MidnightScott]

I'M TALKING ABOUT MY SEMEN, WHICH WAS EJACULATED FROM MY PENIS AT THE SIGHT OF THESE SCREENSHOTS.

That's impossible since you don't own a penis.

Anyway, yeah that one doctor reminds me of Spike Spiegel XD

I actually thought doctors don't smoke. :O

 

[hockeypuck]

I actually thought doctors don't smoke. :O

A ton of doctors from Asian countries regularly smoke. They don't give a shit.

 

[Of All Trades]

I actually thought doctors don't smoke. :O

Look at what those doctors are wearing. You're more at risk of getting herpes or leprosy when they operate on you than lung cancer.

 

[Boss Doggie]

A ton of doctors from Asian countries regularly smoke. They don't give a shit.

Hmm... true. I recall seeing a dentist who smoke on free time. Old habits die hard, I guess.

Anyway, back on the game - I still can't understand why people force Motion+ on this game.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

It wasn't Soejima.

Huh. It looked similar to me at the time.

 

[Dash Kappei]

I'd love for the series to get rid of the medical sci-fi bullshit
Always wanted a "real" only TC game, that would be really appealing to me... this? Not so much sadly, plus I've got TC:New Blood already and it's still wrapped

New Blood has more "normal" surgeries than the other games combined.

 

[Snowball]

Where is the famous Trauma Team trailer that Atlus had to show in this E3? :/

 

[Hero]

Looks awesome.

 

[dragonlife]

New Blood has more "normal" surgeries than the other games combined.

Yup.

Not only that, but New Blood is the best in the series.

UNWRAP IT AND PLAY it, FOOL!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Where is the famous Trauma Team trailer that Atlus had to show in this E3? :/

Where did they say it?

 

[jj984jj]

Huh. It looked similar to me at the time.

The character designer for every game after UtK (including this) is Masayuki Doi.

 

[billy.sea]

Isn't the name "Hospital" use to indicate that the game will include more of the hospital than just the trauma center?

"Trauma Team" sounds even narrower than "Trauma Center"

 

[Boss Doggie]

Trauma is part of the American franchise label though.

Interview, you can see the game.

Wish they'd release the trailer.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

The game is looking really good. Yet another game to justify a Wii purchase. I need clarification however; Atlus USA doesn't actually develop games right? I thought I read that they are in charge mainly of localizations and things like this, where Atlus Japan does the developing?

 

[MercuryLS]

I've gone from wanting next to no games for the Wii to wanting a ton of them, this is at the top of my list fo sho.

Yeah, Atlus USA is strictly a publisher. They publish more than just their parent company's games, though.

Thank you for the link!

God, I can't wait to play this game! It's going to be sooooo awesome! I am slightly sad that Aram made it sound like there'd be no sci-fi stuff...he said, "we tried to make it as grounded and real as possible..."

And, yeah, why hasn't Atlus shown that footage? DO IT!

 

[GreyMatter]

Yeah, Atlus USA is strictly a publisher. They publish more than just their parent company's games, though.

Slightly off topic, but god, do I love them for that. I was actually about to pull the trigger on Demon's Souls, then, in a flash, Atlus USA steps in when Sony didn't.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Ooh looks spiffy.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Holy Photobucket, Batman.

Just got an email with a new video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH3xoPpoZOQ

Feast your eyes on the premiere video of Trauma Team, the evolution of the medical entertainment game!

The makers of the acclaimed medical action series Trauma Center blow the genre wide open with Trauma Team for Wii™, bringing not one, but six exciting and creative gameplay modes! Play as a general surgeon, diagnostician, EMT, orthopedic surgeon, endoscope technician, or medical examiner. With improved game balance and a completely original approach to story cutscenes, Trauma Team delivers the thrills and drama of the best medical entertainment.

Available Spring 2010.

I like the specialities, more variety is good (and I didn't see any alien virus, so I'm happy).

*pants explode*

*faints*

 

[Mejilan]

It's nice to see them pimping this, but I wish that vid was more than just some artwork and assets thrown into a video reel.

That said, day 1.

 

[VegaShinra]

Looks good.

 

[Stumpokapow]

All they have to do to make it the best surgery game ever is steal this:

 

[Guled]

this looks awesome, but I wish is was for DS instead. o well, doesn't matter that much

Chie Satonaka?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

this looks awesome, but I wish is was for DS instead.

I feel like they've taken it as far as they can for the DS. Under the Knife 2 was such a step down in presentation from New Blood.

I seem to do better with the pointer than I have with the stylus, too.

 

[nny]

Also, we got to know that the patient with the cracked skull is an example of forensics specialty...I guess saving that guy is a stretch even for these games ;P

 

[Haunted]

That trailer is awesome.

So fitting that the old dirty man is doing diagnosis. :lol

Muscle Elvis Doctor. Who the hell comes up with these designs?

Spoiler

I fucking love it.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So there'll be driving segments like in Disaster? :lol

New interview via Siliconera:

[Tenbatsu]

Is the art by the Persona 4 artist?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Same artist since Second Opinion.

 

[Masked Man]

Game looks AWESOME! I can't wait to try it out.

Also, I know it's been said, but Spike Spiegel. :O

 

[Fuu]

Is the art by the Persona 4 artist?

No. Persona 4 is by Shigenori Soejima, Trauma Team is by Masayuki Doi

Atlus' just put up a new video (behind the scenes): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14u-EVQWIiE

Looking forward to this one, more realism is welcome.

"FROM DEATH ROW TO THE O.R." :lol <3

As a huge Trauma Center whore...

Eeeeeeek! Somebody hold me D: I love this behind-the-scenes stuff <3 It's looking great already for being early in development.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I always wonder what would Dr. Zoidberg do in Caduceus/Trauma Center series.

 

[Spirit Icana]

Eeeeeeek! Somebody hold me D:
