People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.

Decision reinforced. This reminds me of the quality jump between 6 and 7, but it also comes with massive framerate improvements.

I watched a regular XL video and the game was running so smooth I thought it was a PC game. That reminds me, the stream that Policenaut was watching there were some Chinese fellows talking about a PC version. I forget if it was about wanting one or saying there would be one but yeah, it'd be nice if they made the ports.

The Japanese version of DW8 apparently got a title update late November that enabled save data upload to "the cloud" that lets users transfer immediately into Xtreme Legends. We'll probably get that over here.
We never did get the DW7E patch though, iirc.

Tecmo Koei's head honcho talks about the future of the Warriors franchise and even hints at possible open world/open world RPG type settings

quote:

“On the subject of possibilities and new introductions, I believe that an open world Warriors game, or an RPG that utilizes a Warriors system would be quite interesting,” says Koinuma. “Also, we’ve acquired the knowhow of hunting-action games after developing Toukiden, so a Warriors game combined with elements of a hunting-action game would also be a possibility.”

quote:

He continues, “One more thing: while much remains unknown for the time being, by utilizing the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One’s next-generation specs, I believe that it might even be possible to come up with new game elements that have yet to be seen.”

quote:

“Up until now, the movements of troops in the background of the Warriors games have been simulated in a rather simple way,” says Koinuma. “However, if we could fully simulate it all together, I believe that the strategic elements would see a major improvement, and the fights would be much more fun on a whole other level.”

Yes please, please experiment more with this stuff :haw:

If you have a PS4 I wholly recommend sitting tight until the DW8+XL pack. If you don't have a PS4 then, still, just play 8.

You mean 3-Ultimate? That one's up to you since it's not translated yet but the original Orochi 3 is. Fortunately Koei-wiki is a great source of information to get around the few requirements of Japanese.

Yeah that's Orochi 3 original, there's a Japanese version yet to be put in English called Orochi 3-Ultimate which is just an upgraded version of it.

If you're familiar with Koei's games at large and just want a game where the rosters of Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors are combined and have only a lot of fighting and combat to deal with then you could check it out.

Depends a bit on what you want, but I would say go with 7. The mechanics are a bit improved with 8 and unlike 7 there are no cloned move sets if that sort of thing bothers you but the whole presentation in 7 is just so much better, especially the campaigns.

Yeah it had those but also the basic gameplay was pretty different, kind of like a fast Monster Hunter. It's been a while and I can't remember every little detail but it really didn't play very much like your typical Dynasty Warriors. Also it was totally multiplayer-focused and as a result tended to be crushingly hard to play single player. And the super modes were nuts. Fights with officers would turn into crazy high-speed flying clusterfucks.

e: also went back to that old "every character has a bow with them" thing, and you really needed it.

The super-saiyan impression is helped a bit by starting out with a Ma Chao wearing some big lion's mane head gear.

If you missed the Chinese guy's stream a few days ago for DW8wXL on PS4, here's another guy playing it. Same as before, Lu Bu campaign. For some reason he seems to have sound disabled?

Bought Gundam 4 but wasn't really jumping to play it. Finally did though and hey, turns out, still a fun game! Framerate isn't as bad as I thought it'd be, though maybe that's just because I'm coming off of Drakengard 3. Fun new feature: you can now charge your beam rifle or whatever projectile weapon you have before firing it by holding the triangle button. Any grunts hit by a charged shot will do the chain explosion thing if they die so you're basically firing your beam rifle into crowds and wiping them all out at once.

My path to this game on my PS4 is a story of perfect serendipity.

When DW8 initially launched, I was just too busy with work to bother. Then later on, I realized there would be a legends/empires/whatever, so I should wait. When empires, or whichever one it was, came out, I was once again, just too busy to think about grabbing it, and then I forgot all about it.

Now I'm loving ready to rip some ancient chinese people apart. This game can't come out soon enough.

The reason I'm asking is simply for anyone wanting to get together on co-op and making use of that in the story mode and for the new free mode optionals. It would be fun to finally get in on that :D

Also for easier completion of the special objectives in one of the Wei and Shu missions. Definitely that Wei mission with having to chase the guy down across the map and the doors not opening because everyone's talking :mad:

More would if the drat things would come over to the US. I like them because there's a level of insanity to them that's really not in Dynasty Warriors that much. Things are just so over-the-top in the Sengoku Basara games. I'm still waiting for the day when these kind of games start playing like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta with combo systems and boss fights are like boss fights in those games. I think that's the next evolution of this genre.

It better have local coop though!
