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

[Joshkaz]

How is the PC port?
Been here conflicting reports on it and no real definitive answer.

[Geese_Pants]

Verdict so far is 50% “It’s terrible”…50% “It’s awesome”.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn will be released for PlayStation 3 in North America on July 1st and in Europe on June 27th…pretty sure my wallet is ready just in case I cave in and buy it first day.

Hyrule Warriors will arrive in Japan August 14th…maybe the rest of the world shortly after.

The game is being developed by BOTH Omega Force and Team Ninja…with Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma supervising.

Zelda gets kidnapped…Link has to save her.

[Joshkaz]

So any word on other playable characters?

[Geese_Pants]

Only mentioned characters are Impa…and I guess 3 new characters:

The Black Witch Shia (The main antagonist and kidnapper of Zelda)
The Scorching Berserker Varuga (works for Shia)
The Magician of Darkness Wizuro (also works for Shia)

Impa is likely playable as well.

If it is true Warriors function…the new characters could be playable/have stages for their forces.

[Cryoh]

I’m hoping for a playable Ganon/Ganondorf.

[Joshkaz]

My pants wont be able to contain my penis if a playable Ganondorf and Ganon were playable.

Some new info in regards to Hyrule Warriors…courtesy of Koei Warriors.

2-player mode will have a player using TV screen and the other player using gamepad screen

In 1-player mode, the gamepad screen will be a sub-screen that contains information

Characters can equip various kinds of weapons such as speed-oriented One-Handed Sword and power-oriented heavy weapons; the movesets will differ greatly based on the weapon equipped

Weapon upgrade & Character growth systems also exist here

The gameplay is mostly basic Warriors-style but with added Z-focus in Zelda series (??)

If the above feature can be used well, it will be easier to evade enemy attacks and aim for their weaknesses

The well-known spinning attack in Zelda series is used as Musou attack here

Impa is 100% confirmed playable, her weapon is a giant longsword

The devs also promise quite a lot of playable characters that even Aonuma-san is impressed by the number

There will be a playable demo at E3

Shit…I may get a Wii-U sooner than I expected.

[Geese_Pants]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…I’m stoked!!!

[Shin_Oni]

I want Midna…that’s all…Midna please.

and SW4 being Sony only is great. So we all have a legit chance at it.

[Cryoh]

Since it says Samurai Warriors 4 (instead of Sengoku Musou 4) in the picture, it’s 99.99999% guaranteed to be coming out in the US now.

Warriors Orochi 3: Ultimate confirmed for the west…on the PS systems and XBone?!!

[Cryoh]

XB1 is getting it? I shouldn’t be surprised, since the only thing holding them back was the lack of a Blu-Ray drive or dedicated internal HDD.

[Geese_Pants]

Hopefully it will calm the Xbox players down a bit after seeing that Samurai Warriors 4 and Gundam Reborn will basically only be on the Sony systems…

[AYO]

Wonder how the PS Vita version will be.

Finally, it’s time for a Zelda game with plot. :tup:

http://www.siliconera.com/2014/05/22/hyrule-warriors-part-aonumas-plan-break-away-zelda-traditions/

In an interview with the game’s developers, this week’s Famitsu discussed how Hyrule Warriors came to be. In the same interview, The Legend of Zelda series producer and Tecmo Koei producers Hisashi Koinuma and Yosuke Hayashi also talked about working together, from teams to ideas, for the upcoming game.

During the interview Hayashi explains that the staff of Team Ninja, known for their work on the Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden games, are working on Hyrule Warriors, but that certain members have been specially selected to be part of the development team.

According to Koinuma, both the game and the development team constitute a collaboration of sorts. For example, the main programmer on Hyrule Warriors is a staff member from Team Ninja, while the main planner served the same role in Omega Force’s development of One Piece: Pirate Warriors. Meanwhile, the director has a background in the Dynasty Warriors series.

When Famitsu asks if this makes it the first time that Team Ninja and Omega Force have worked together on the development of a game, Hayashi explains that it is, and it’s something they’ve wanted to do for a while, but never had the chance to.

“When it comes to getting a good feeling out of beating down enemies, Omega Force, who develop the Dynasty Warriors games, would surely have an edge in that department,” says Koinuma. “However, as far as one-to-one combat goes, I felt that that Team Ninja, who worked on the Dead or Alive series, could also come up with something good. So, we just decided ‘let’s just mix them together!’”

Famitsu asks if Tecmo Koei had any trouble working with an IP such as The Legend of Zelda, in terms of what they could and couldn’t do.

“When we first began working on the plans [for the game], there were many things that we couldn’t decide on from within our company alone, so we often went to Nintendo and also consulted with Aonuma for the more detailed parts,” explains Hayashi. “As this process went on, we were able to see a fine line between what we could and couldn’t do with Hyrule Warriors.”

“It got to the point where we and Aonuma reached a common understanding of what we could do with Hyrule Warriors, and from there, development really really sped up.”

Aonuma also mentions that this ties in with his earlier words, when he expressed his desire to change the mindset of having The Legend of Zelda stick to its traditional roots. For this reason, he felt that Hyrule Warriors would make things interesting.

“The Legend of Zelda has a history of 27 years, and the way it is played has already been well-established,” says Hayashi. “So at first, we went in the direction of wanting to make something that could follow the way The Legend of Zelda is played.”

“However, that is something you could experience by playing any game of The Legend of Zelda series, and even if we could imitate the surface of it, it’s not something we could actually make. In the end, we realized that it would be best to make a Warriors title that has elements from The Legend of Zelda series.”

Aonuma adds, “There wouldn’t be a reason for making it a Warriors [game] otherwise, right? I wanted Tecmo Koei to make a Zelda game that I can’t make. And for this reason, I asked them to ‘give it more of a Warriors approach’.”

Hyrule Warriors will be released on August 14, 2014 for Wii U in Japan and later on in the West. Note that this game isn’t the next mainline title in the Legend of Zelda series, so Aonuma’s comment about breaking away from Zelda tradition isn’t limited to this game.

The first time devs from Omega Force and Team Ninja working on the same game?
I’m ready to come back to the Mario side…

aside from hyrule warriors hype.

Ready for that KOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHOSHO hype.

EDIT: and I honestly may just get Warriors Orochi 3 U on the Vita just so I can have a decent portable Warriors game.
