So with those being the JP release dates for the ps3 and ps4 versions when should we expect the US ones? Early next year?

Well DW8 came out here 5 months after it came out in Japan which is a pretty big gap for one of these. I'm guessing it had a lot to do with English VA and I'm willing to bet we won't be getting any in DW8XL so who knows.

Of course this is all assuming it actually is released outside of Japan.

Since it's functionally an add-on to the base game, they pretty much have to give it an English dub, don't they?

DW7XL had english VA and came state side. Hell every XL game ever has comes stateside (if we don't count SW3Z). TK has a huge thing for making sure there's always a Warriors game out on every console as soon as it's released so even worse case 8+XL will be on PS4 as close to launch as they can get it.

It was about a month or so. Original WO3 dropped in Japan on December 22nd and we heard about the US/EU release a month later on the 24th.

Yeah its a pretty neat game. Plays a bit like the Gundam games in terms of combat (dashes chaining combos together), and has a good roster.

Plus it has that one weird mode where you play through an old TK game except as a Warriors game.

Also worth noting is the pretty good officer edit. I think SW3 may be the only warriors game other than SW1 to have an officer edit mode on the core game and not in an Empires or XL add-on.

The future of Warriors may be interesting.

Choice quotes posted:

"I think there are many reasons, but one of the big ones could be that we release them right around the launch of each new system. Putting whatever tech or visuals we couldn’t do with other hardware into a new Warriors game adds a very direct sort of excitement for the player, and I think that has given us a certain amount of share in gamers’ minds. It’s not something that we deliberately decide beforehand, but we know how that mindshare works, so sooner or later it naturally becomes an atmosphere of ‘We better make sure our games don’t stray too far out of the hardware launch window’."

"I think it might be fun to make an open-world Warriors game, or maybe an RPG that takes advantage of the Warriors system. Also, there’s still a lot of explore here, but I think taking advantages of the specs of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will let us explore new types of gameplay that we couldn’t do before."

"With Warriors up to now, all the military action not taking place right on screen is still simulated in a pretty basic way. If we had it so the entire thing was fully simulated, that’d be a huge boost to the strategy aspect, and I think the fighting would a whole new level more exciting. Also, when we produce a game on the new consoles, I want to really focus on making really varied terrain in terms of height and shape."

"It’d be fun to take a more realistic approach with it such as creating a lot more destroyable objects and things."

Yes, around the hardware launch window. So DW8wXL is coming like March or something right? RIGHT?!

So here's a question. Are there any good * Warriors style games on iOS/Android? I'd love to be able to kill thousands of drafted peasants/zombies/robots/whatever while out and about even if I don't have my Vita on me, and it's not like basic DW needs super twitchy reflex accuracy.

Also the Koei Wiki has this little number :downs:

Players have the option of manually activating Storm Rush attacks by tapping Square and Triangle simultaneously.

I'd guess that it's an option you can set to activate the attack on an enemy you've "worn down," rather than triggering automatically on said enemy. If so, it's a good idea; I've run into plenty of cases where the game will trigger a Storm Rush when I just want to get moving.

Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends has a crafting system, breaks the 99 level cap (now 999), includes an Ultimate difficulty mode meant for co-op play, and a bunch of other neat stuff.

And that Ultimate, I wonder how it will be laid out. Playing Chaos is already glass cannon as is (you can die easily but with the right effects you instant kill everyone else) so I bet the most they'll do is disable health regeneration entirely :(

Famitsu is leaking as per usual and DW8 with Xtreme Legends is featured for PlayStation 4. There's some weird poo poo that isn't translated by mainstream media yet so here's the apparent cliff notes as interpreted through Google Translate.

quote:

"any imposition of storm rush, the only military commander character stamina bar and name, BGM in combat to flow at random can be set
to free mode to add "again" " shadow prison - Dark Side Princess ~ " "Regurina (CV: Yu Kei Saito)", "Kaeria (CV: Shoji宇芽incense)", "Vu~eruza (CV: Yuko Ushida)", "Lilia (CV: Ichiki Chihiro) " capture vacuum, cake, rotating saws, hot steam, automaton clock, without killing"
So yeah, random battle music jukebox and shockingly the four main characters from Deception 4: Blood Ties are going to be guest characters :psyduck:

I'll update this with an English translated article when someone (probably either Gematsu or Koei Warriors) does it.

Tecmo Koei just released a new update for Dynasty Warriors 8 in Japan, maybe coming soon to NA/EU. In this update, you'll be able to prepare your save data to transfer to the Xtreme Legends version of the game. Surprisingly enough this also includes the PlayStation 4 version!

It's okay, but it gets pretty stale after a while. Despite the improvements made over the original, it's not as good overall.

Maybe like once for an hour or two, but mostly no.
The lack of jump really hurts some characters and the whole system is kinda stale because the movesets are a lot more limited. I'm fond of making combos and honestly this game is kinda bad in that regard.
Even the story mode isn't told that well, and at points you'll be like "Can I just get to the boss already?"

No, despite being faster and having more characters it's actually worse than the first game because the story mode is split between five minutes of cut-scenes followed by a 30 second segment where you actually play the game then back to the story and the alternative mode is a bunch of boring prequel crap rather than the cool 'what ifs' of the original.

It doesn't help that one of the selling points for the second was that it would go past the beloved ending of the original series into Hokuto no Ken 2, and at least one goon already broke down many pages ago just why HnK2 (the manga/anime) was so much worse than HnK... KOEI treated it like a selling point, but having it at all was an irreparable flaw of Ken's Rage 2's story mode even if grown-up Lin and Bart's movesets are nice.
