Even if I was able to get this game…I wouldn’t use 1/2 the modes on there.

Ichipoo · February 11, 2012, 4:44am

Like what? Just curious. I think what I’ll do is order all these Vita games, despite not going to order one right away and wait for the ripe time to actually purchase one.

Geese_Pants · February 11, 2012, 8:37am

Mainly the online components…

Tecmo Koei’s upcoming myth-based hack-n-slash action title, Warriors Orochi 3, will be launching for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next month, in North America on March 20 and in Europe on March 30. The game will be a full-price retail title on 360, but thanks to a little-known quirk in Sony’s localization regulations, it will only be available on the PlayStation Network – not on a Blu-ray Disc.

The voice acting in Warriors Orochi 3 hasn’t been localized into English: the audio for the entire game is in Japanese, with English subtitles. Sean Corcoran, Marketing Manager for Tecmo Koei America, told me last week that Sony doesn’t allow games without English voice acting to be released in the West on retail discs. So PS3 owners will have to buy the game on the PlayStation Store; Corcoran said that the download will cost less than $59.99, but Tecmo Koei hasn’t yet decided how much less.

This all seemed rather strange to me, especially since PS3 games are region-free, and 360 games are region-locked. I guess one thing you can say for Microsoft is that if a game releases in your neck of the woods, you’ll be able to understand everything in it. Except, perhaps, for men battling alongside tigers.

So apparently because WO3 won’t have English voiceovers…there will be no physical disc for PS3 in North America.
X360 still gets retail disc here.

I’m okay with this…as long as the digital port is cheaper than the X360 disc.

Ichipoo · February 19, 2012, 11:51am

Not a big fan of digital only releases, since I like owning a physical copy of the game, hell, physical copy of EVERYTHING in general. But the fact that it’s going to be cheaper than $60 makes up for it I suppose.

TrulyAmiracle · February 19, 2012, 3:12pm

FFFFFFF thats kinda gay honestly, but whatevs game is still so awesome that I wont really care. March 20 get hype!

Geese_Pants · February 20, 2012, 1:49am

Wondering though…how does Yakuza 3 and 4 get PS3 disc releases in the US with no English Voice options?

Tizoc · February 20, 2012, 12:58pm

Just gor DW7: XL for 20 dollars…how should I go about playing the game?

Hatred_Edge · February 20, 2012, 6:06pm

Unlock Lu Bu. Proceed to walk a path that leaves nothing but carnage in your wake.

Zhu Rong’s old Boomerang gameplay…

Ryu and Ayane from NG guest star…as well as Sengoku Musou’s BFF (Yukimura, Mitsunari, and Kanetsugu).

Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive’s Ryu Hayabusa and Ayane appeared as crossover characters in Musou Orochi 2. But their stay in Musou Land isn’t over yet! Famitsu reveals this week that the two characters will also appear as collaborative characters in Dynasty Warriors VS., the delayed 3DS Dynasty Warriors game that’s now due for release on April 26.

They’re not the only crossover characters, though. The game will also see appearances by Sengoku heroes Sanada Yukimura, Ishida Mitsunari and Naoe Kanetsugu. You may recall that Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata said during a previous Nintendo Direct broadcast that Dynasty Warriors VS would also have cameos from Nintendo franchises. It’s unclear if this is what Iwata was referring to, but Famitsu does reveal that the game will have Mii support. Your Miis will come in as support characters when you’re in a pinch.

Famitsu also has a look at the game’s edit mode, which lets you modify name, gender, face, body type, armor, motion, voice and Musou skill.
More related to the Ayane crossover, Famitsu reveals that the game’s first print run will include a download code for a volleyball uniform. The code also gives you a judo outfit.

Ichipoo · February 25, 2012, 12:01am

Zhu Rong should’ve had her boomerang in the first place anyway.

And lol, SM BFFs, I call them the Japanese Three Musketeers. :lol:

And is this a new trailer?

[media=youtube]4iBLjYBJ8PY[/media]

lol… “Nakama Strike.”

Geese_Pants · February 29, 2012, 5:13am

So I said fuck it and got DW:Gundam 3 for $40…how does it stack against its predecessors?
I know it’s gonna feel weird at first playing as Master Asia with a different voice.

Cryoh · February 29, 2012, 5:37am

The maps aren’t as well designed as the ones from DWG 1 or 2, but the gameplay itself is more fluid.

Geese_Pants · February 29, 2012, 5:40am

Yeah I read earlier that there are no space battles…that’s a shame.
I also heard the DLC suits/pilots are expensive…I’ll have to check it out on PSN.

Ichipoo · February 29, 2012, 10:42am

Story is one big unorganized cluster fuck too. And missions are more linear as well.

Dem cel-shaded graphics are nice as well.

Cryoh · February 29, 2012, 11:35am

So, has anyone been able to preorder Warriors Orochi 3 for the 360? My local GS didn’t see it in their database.

Ichipoo · February 29, 2012, 11:42am

I guess I can ask tomorrow. I’m going there to pre-order SFxT anyway so yeah.
