Is Spirit of Sanada actually new or just a TV tie-in SW4-III?

Chinook posted:Yeah, I guess values were different back then. I remember when I tried to actually read a translation of the books (4 volumes, I couldn't finish), there was some guy who killed and fed his wife to Liu Bei, and then Liu Bei praised the guy for being so loyal. The best part about that (IIRC) is the book doesn't let you know what Liu Bei's thinking immediately, so it's a huge twist (from a modern perspective) when he discovers the dude's wife's butchered corpse and breaks down crying, and then you realize he's crying in gratitude.

TheFlyingLlama posted:Romanization is a hell of a thing basically. If you read some of the old copies of the Romance, written back when Wade-Giles was the predominant style Cao Cao's name would be written in English as Ts'ao Ts'ao. Or Tsao Tsao. My first copy of Romance was Wade-Giles and it was kind of fun trying to figure out who everyone was. Dong Zhuo in Wade-Giles is Tung Cho. I have no idea how they got that.

Quick question. I bought Dynasty Warriors 7 digitally on PSN when it was added a while back, and was thinking of revisiting it now with Xtreme Legend. Anybody know if the remix mode will work if both titles are present on the PS3 digitally? I'd like to think they made it work, but I have my doubts.

If you guys think Wade-Giles was weird, I vaguely remember a translation of the book where the translators thought Chinese names were too hard for English readers, so they replaced all the names with figures from American Folklore. I think Guan Yu or Liu Bei was Daniel Boone. I didn't get too far past the first chapter. I kind of want to find it again just to laugh at it.

Dragon Quest Heroes 2 really really turns up the heat in battles once you hit the Beastlands, holy poo poo was the mass brawl against the Al-Khazam army hard, there was at least 12 minibosses rampaging around all at once in the first battle and the one immediately after was just wave after wave of boss mobs and Nightmaws hiding behind a Dragon and his own forces, so the difficulty feels about right for a Dragon Quest game but woe betide people who don't level grind.

Funny, I don't think I had any real trouble until the last two missions (both of which I felt were kind of bullshit in their own ways).

Does DQH2 have the same problem as the first one where the combat devolves into just cycling through characters and dumping their MP bar, rather than having a reason to use regular attacks?

Regular attacks are good for when miniboss/boss mobs get staggered as they deal double damage but for the most part, yes to the above.

it updated twice with more deets New information has leaked from Weekly Famitsu. The latest entry in the Dynasty Warriors series uses an open-world format. The continent of China of the Three Kingdoms period is represented by a single, vast map. By making the game open-world, capture methods are also powered up. Since you can roam the map freely, you can even circumvent castles and attack from high places. There is also an extreme variety of attack methods that tests the power of the player’s conception. Can you infiltrate the castle without the enemy noticing and take out your target? Long distance attacks using bows will return. Any character can use a bow to attack. Time and weather change in real-time. The enemy’s field of vision is poor during the night or when it’s raining, making it harder to be discovered. Here’s an overview of the game flow: among the missions that appear all over the map, there are also “main missions.” By clearing main missions, history will greatly advance forward, but these missions have a high degree of difficulty. By clearing missions associated with main missions, you can lower the degree of difficulty. “State Combo” is a new system that lets players react in different ways depending on the situation. The combo starts with a trigger attack, follows up with a flow of consecutive attacks that change based on the state of the enemy, and ends with a strong finish attack. “Interactive Actions” are actions that change depending on the surrounding terrain and objects. You can use grappling hooks to climb up high mountains and walls. Or you can unleash attacks that use certain things on the spot. Development is currently 40 percent complete. Thanks, Hachima Kikou. Update 8:35 a.m.: Here are some tidbits from Weekly Famitsu’s interview with producer Akihiro Suzuki and director Jun Miyauchi. The main flow of the game will follow the history of the Records of the Three Kingdoms, just like previous games. Battles aren’t broken up into stages, but various battles that correspond to the era will occur all over the land, which you will participate in. For example, if we’re talking about the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you can fight with the Yellow Turbans in a place where Zhang Jue can be found. If you go to the south-east, you can hear gossip of Zhang Jue and company. When you defeat Zhang Jue, history will progress to the Campaign Against Dong Zhuo era, and whatever is occurring on the map at that time will change completely to match the new period. Stories are being planned for each warlord, but since there are no branches that change history, the overall flow is the same. The era and period that each warlord plays a role in are different. If you start with Zhao Yun, you can play the period in which he was active, but if you choose Wang Yuanji, you’ll play in an era set after the life of Zhao Yun. The ability to switch between warlords is under consideration. Since the era changes so significantly depending on the characters you switch between, we would need to explain the background of the period. We’re currently looking for a solution. It takes about five minutes to swim across the Yangtze River and Yellow River, since it’s a wide place. There are also ports that you can move to instantly. Major cities such as Luoyang are smaller than they are in reality, but since one side is about one kilometer, it is an experience of considerable scale. There are more than 10 cities. General-purpose cities and villages are also being prepared. Movement is mainly by horse. Fast travel, which will allow you to instantly travel to places you have already visited, is also being prepared. Urban areas will have buying and selling elements. The warlords’ costumes are being updated. This time, we’re cutting back on the flashiness and aiming for something that more realistically matches that period. There are various missions such as hunting wild animals with a bow and battles against different races with dedicated visuals. Development seems to still have some way to go. I don’t think it will be released at least until it’s cold out.

So are we going to have an army of our own or roam the land by ourselves and hook up with historical figures to kick rear end? Because Mount and Blade Musou should be a thing.

marshmallow creep posted:So are we going to have an army of our own or roam the land by ourselves and hook up with historical figures to kick rear end? Because Mount and Blade Musou should be a thing. It is already. Or rather, some enterprising modders have attempted something like. http://www.moddb.com/mods/romance-of-the-three-kingdoms-dynasty-warriors I found out about it via watching a playthrough of it. Looking at what's mentioned, I wonder at who'll be playable, especially since they made sure to mention 'NO CHANGING HISTORY' and 'MUCH MORE REALISTIC COSTUMES(What happens to esoterics like Zhang Chunha or the Qiaos?). Which is both fair enough and problematic. I mean, there's not much you can do with Zhang Jue/Jiao, given he barely takes part in anything.

This stuff about moveset changing isn't really filling me with confidence, given the last time Koei advertised a big shakeup in movesets we ended up with Renbu. Hopefully Team Ninja is on hand to keep them from going too dumb with it.

I must admit, all this ambitious talk has made me really, really wary of the game. I've found Omega Force's stuff more miss than hit recently and the performance on the engine they use has gotten so bad, especially their 4K modes on PS4 Pro.

I'm gonna disagree, I've enjoyed all the Omega Force games I've played recently a whole lot. I can't say that I've ever cared about framerates in Musou games though, since I mostly play the franchise on the Vita and even on the PS2/3 they've never really been silky smooth games.
