E: It looks like 2 or 2 1/2 years between Dynasty Warriors numbered releases seems like the norm. Jibo fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Oct 30, 2012 |

Don't see what's so unusual about it. They've done their Xtreme Legends thing and they're about to put out Empires. They've even put out the requisite Orochi game built on its framework. They've checked all of the boxes on DW7. Not like Koei has anything else to make.

Wonder who the new-looking Wei character is. Maybe Yu Jin or Yue Jin?

Double posting cause I figured it out with research. The character is named as Gakushin which is what the Japanese call Yue Jin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yue_Jin Here's a link to those interested in his role in history. This makes 4 out of 5 of the Wei 5 playable.

As long as the bigger focus on Jin isn't more Shu invasions I can't wait. Edit: Tell Koei to make Jin's story mode exactly the same as Lu Bu's in 6. Ghosts out the rear end and they all want to fight.

I think it is likely that they're going to add more characters, they were continuing to announce characters for WO3 pretty close to the Japanese release and it keeps the hype train going. Lu Kang seems likely if they're having a bigger focus on the Jin era.

They just really need more Jin dudes. At the end of DW7 most of them were either dead or turned on you midway.

You'd be surprised how many importantish characters are left in the rosters for everyone. Here's a short list of who I want to see in the 8. Shu: Ma Liang/Ma Su Chen Dao Liao Hua Liu Feng Wei: Cao Zhi Yu Jin Man Chong Wang Lang Wu: Lu Su Zhuge Jin Zhu Huan Cheng Pu Lu Kang Other: Gongsun Zan Huo Tua Zhang Lu

I've kinda always wanted Liao Hua as a playable character because it'd give Zhang Jiao an actual PC lieutenant. All the other 'Other' characters have PCs in their armies - Yuan Shao has Zhang He & Zhen Ji, Dong Zhuo has Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, etc. - parity or something for the Yellow Turbans. Plus I think they could do a cool story of a man who has literally lived through the entire thing - from the Yellow Turbans to the Fall of Shu. Think they've shied away from him because Huang Zhong has always had the 'Old Veteran fighting way past him prime' niche locked down, and the story that Liao Hua was basically regarded AS a generic in history. Some quote goes I believe "As Shu's Heroes die, Liao Hua emerges.", writing him off as second class. Also have kinda wanted Chen Gong as a PC too since the Dynasty Warriors 6 Lu Bu/Diao Chan stories. He has a decent true story, and you could make a fun character out of "The Man manipulating the raging beast". Belzac posted:
DW7 showed they weren't afraid of healing Musuos anymore. Have to wonder how bullshit they'd have to make it to do it justice compared to the bullshit you could pull with Yuan Shao/Pang Tong/Guo Hai.

The official page is open. It says there will be "what if" scenarios for if generals had survived certain battles. If done right that could be really cool...if done right.

I wish I could be in charge of coming up with weapon ideas for DW. The next new general's weapon will be a spinning...chain...bookshelf...launcher. Because they were originally a librarian you see, who was temporarily hired as a tactician by Cao Cao or someone.

Eventually one of the tacticians will just be fighting using a Chinese chess board, complete with precariously balanced chess pieces.

I remember Zhuge Liang's ghost appearing in the second-to-last Jin campaign. And though it was pretty at first, I was disappointed nothing more was done with it. I was half expecting the entire pass to ignite on fire, but nope, he was in and out of there and there was no further mention of it. So a new Dynasty Warrior Game I suppose this means I'll need to get a PS3 or WiiU. Probably the latter-nothing else that's on the PS3 but not the 360 excites me, and both Bayonetta 2 and WO3 Hyper have sparked my interest in getting a WiiU.

I hope DW8 returns to previous difficulties, they do no favors making an already repetitive game too easy.

I think they've started the curve back to more difficult, haven't they? I seem to remember the archers being a little more threatening in recent games. Nothing like DW3 lethality, though. Christ, I hated those fuckers.

Nothing like DW3 lethality, though. Christ, I hated those fuckers. In WO3 a group of archers on anything higher than easy would always ruin my missions where I had to keep an eye on my health. And all swordsmen everywhere would always do the leaping attack to lead in so you need to start attacking before they even get to you.
