The Sengoku Basara series Thread: NO POLEDANCING KASUGA FOR YOU!

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/07/10/sengoku-basara-4-developers-share-details-on-reoccurring-and-upcoming-characters/

“Mitsunari, too, who appeared in Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes, was only portrayed after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, which we’d like to cover the new drama surrounding him as the vassal of Hideyoshi."

Have hope! It’d be weird to cover a story of him being a vassal without at least showing Hideyoshi.

Basara 4 trailer showing actual gameplay.

Some observations:

A new dodge done by doing it at the timing you would parry.
Stacked bases?
Mention of Hanbei and Hideyoshi from Mitsunari.
Looks fucking awesome.
New characters look great in motion.
Sengoku BaSpinningSwords 4.
Helicoptor motherfucker.
Dice motherfucker.

Hideyoshi. Fucking. Hideyoshi.
So good.

Also Hanbei and a new character.

Introducing Naotora Ii.
A hot-blooded female general who loathes men…particularly Shingen Takeda.

Weapon is a longsword…but she also uses her fists.

Shingen(confirmed NPC), Yukimura, and Sasuke confirmed to be in SB4…

Spoiler

Square string
Hold Square
Triangle
Direction+Triangle
L1+Triangle
R2
L1+R2 (I don’t know if this means characters no longer can choose between 3 Secret Arts, and are forced to two, or if you can equip any of the arts to either R2 or L1+R2)
L2 Is no longer for Hero mode, or whatever. It controls your ally commander. More in depth than just pressing select in previous games.
L1+R1 now uses the gauge by the portrait. Not entirely sure what it does. Seems kind of Seiei Enbu-esq. Can do Ultimate Basara in it, it seems.

Parries still in, instant dodging in from earlier trailers.

L2+Circle for Team Basara stuff.

Game gonne be deep.

Character showcase, shows the inputs for the specials on the side.

Characters are cool.

And oh my god, Mitsunari can do L1+Triangle and R1 in the air. There was a glitch in 3 where you could do the teleport in uneven terrain or something like that, and his R1 could come out in the air. It’s cool that you can do it for real now.[/details]

Aight, I’m importing this bitch for sure now.

Even though that is more than likely counting CPU characters, I still expect at least 30 playable characters. I’m really excited for this.

Now, Capcom, just announce online co-op and tag mode. Online co-op is what I want most.

Magnum Step in the air? Hideyoshi is back?!

I am not yet ready.

hideyoshi?!?! mitsunari buffs???

LOL i’m in

Oh god, Mitsunari didn’t need buffs.

At TGS, Capcom showed gameplay for Goto Matabei and Li Naotoro. They both look pretty fun. I don’t see any video for Li up yet, though I recorded it, so I could upload it at some point if no one else does.

edit: Someone translated the mechanics video. I THINK every character has access to all 3 of their R2 attacks at one time, since you switch between them with L1+R2.

Sorry for the double post. New Trailer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FZuIFP2I98w

edit: Shows Matsunaga. And a glimpse of Nagamasa at like 1:22.

Given all the other main characters returning, it was a given, but Keiji appearance confirmed.

And Hideyoshi vs Ieyasu. That cutscene should be pretty dope.

The whole story of the game is going to be cool. I can’t wait to see who all return too.

I saw a tumblr post talking about this game being an alternate reality (Citing Ieyasu not being a kid while Hanbei is around) and that “apparently, no two playthroughs of any one story mode will be the same unless you so choose to make it so”. Should be a pretty great game.

Never played a Sengoku Basara game; any available on PC, whether it is through emulation or an actual port?

None of the games were ever ported to the PC. However, the first 3 games (1, 2, 2Heroes) are all on PS2.

SB3 and SB3Utage are on the Wii. Take that as you will.

Appreciated, I legally obtained Utage and am having a ball. It feels like Dynasty Warriors but even more fun.

New trailer and Kanbei, Tsuruhime, Motochika, & Magoichi confirmed. If they bring back every character from Utage, then I could see the playable roster easily hitting 40.
