The Dynasty/Samurai/Gundam/Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) Warriors thread

More chicks please, and lol at Zhao Yun looking more bishounen. :lol:

Li Dian has also been confirmed for DW8…via twitter.
This means that the Battle of He Fei is going to get more exposure this time
Cao Cao has been decloned.

Word is that the official reveal from Koei is going to be big.

So beast.

Yue Jin gets to be played by Renji? So he will be jobbed at some point? lol

maybe some Cheng Pu? maybe?

Li Dian

Zhou Yu and Sun ShangXiang redesigned.

More info Via KoeiWarriors…

Cheng Pu plz.

so far looks interesting. Zhou Yu didn’t really need another redesign. I thought his current new design was good. Same with SSX. Give the redesigns to characters who really need it.

Would be nice to you know…not have any clone warriors at all. I’m fine waiting a few years if it means decloning characters but that’d be stepping out of Koei’s yearly warriors cycle. Though i’m curious if they’re keeping the DW7 weapon style (which I’m personally not a big fan of.) I’d rather everyone have 1 unique weapon or 1 weapon with a unique moveset and a cool looking weapon to differ from the other same type weapon users.

I want free mode to return for both sides. I’m only hoping that ā€œwhat ifā€ addition is either it or as close as a DW3 free mode we’ll get.

I’d some of the decloned movesets from WO3 to appear in DW8 as well.

Oh and give Cao Pi his longsword back please? :frowning:

More Famitsu Scans…

Zhou Yu, SSX, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang

Yes…they are using the DW7 poses.

I still don’t get why the’re making the series a PS3 exclusive again… And not releasing DW7E and XL on Xbox even after the fact that they ported Vanilla just feels like a slap in the face. Guess I’ll be sticking to DW6…

They announced it would be PS3 only in Japan only.
If they do decide to bring it overseas…a 360 port is most likely.

Also…consider that the series doesn’t do well overseas, and it would be more convenient to port on PS3 overseas since it’s the system of choice in Japan.

Bleh, not entralled that SSX seems to be getting younger & younger ever since DW6. Also, fuck all these new clean-shaven, pretty-boy characters. What the fuck happened to the ROTK designs where everyone had epic beards and/or looked homely as fuck & only Zhao Yun/Zhou Yu/Zhang He were the token metros.?

What do you think are the odds of them making DW8 a digital-only release on PSN?

50/50…

I would raise the odds to 85% likelihood, personally. Koei has pretty much made it clear that they’re not going to be spending the money on dubs anymore, as made evident with WO3, OP and now SHM. As long as that remains the case, SCEA likely won’t budge on allowing Koei to get disc versions out for Western retail markets.

At this rate, America will be the ā€œEuropeā€ for Warriors games just like Europe is to everything else in the world.

Sad really. I’d rather not have one of my favorite time killing games be either import or a skimpy port over digital only game.

Who that hasn’t been a pretty boy long before in the seires is now other than Lui Bei? Pretty much everyone else is still pretty rugged or homely.

Hence why I said ā€œnewā€ characters. Out of all the new faces, the last guys they introduced that looked like they might actually be generals were Pang De & Ding Feng.

I guess Jia Xu is pretty ugs for a strategist.

I didn’t really see much of HNK2…but Ken wore goggles?
Was the bloody mess too much for him?

God damn that is sexy.

Yeah, he wore goggles while crossing the ocean to Shura. They quickly came off, though.
