This could either be the best DW game in forever or the worst thing ever to happen to it.

Imagine the online alone.

Ever since hearing of it being Open world, I've been hyped as fuck but they're really quiet about it

>>376520016
>openworld with real consequences to defending, attacking, conquering settlements
this is why I'm cautiously optimistic.

>>376517302
It's going to be shit, and 6 months after its release you will buy it in any Bookoff for 100-250 yens.

WO 4 fucking when

I can be a warlord and guerilla my way through the unification of the east in a online world against other players?

>>376520507
Never, that series actively hurts the DW and SWs selling power due to how much better it is. So we get Musou All-Stars instead.

Details are here

Oh yeah, just looked that up. Whatever, instead of 60 bucks every 5 years they'll get nothing from me. That won't make people like me who weren't huge fans of the series suddenly get their yearly rehashes.

>open world

I just don't see this being good. Dynasty Warriors stages are already bland messes of nothing.

Reminder:
>stealth infiltration confirmed
>use grappling hook to infiltrate castles
>different approaches to sieging castles
>long range arrow FPS mode returning
>real time weather and time of day
>state combo system
>more interactivity
>see that mountain? you can climb it!
>swimming is back
>no stages but different eras corresponding to chosen character
>no alternative history
>horses, boats and fast travel
>hunting wild animals and killing foreigners
>over 10 major unique cities + generic towns and villages
>new character costumes less flashy and more realistic

>Dynasty Warriors stages are already bland messes of nothing.
Which is why open world is a logical progression. The stages have always been mini open worlds you walk back and forth in. Might as well go the whole nine yards.

Main story missions start off difficult but can be made easier by doing side missions
Some battles happen simultaneously and you can only commit to one

>>376521357
Compared to how some characters looked in DW8. Thats actually a whole lot less flashy and realistic. Some of those chars looked like a Japanese boyband from the 80's.

And trips are for jerks.

They did tone down Xiahou Dun's design, keeping in mind DW6 was when everyone went Super Saiyan and DW8 was when everyone and their mom wore half-robes

I'm interested, haven't played since ps2.

>>376521261
But if they can't even make small stages interesting, how are they going to make an open world interesting? Especially when that's already one of the biggest problems with open world games.

Because then, nothing is lost in a DW game.

>>376521036
It's about damn time he got in.

>>376521752
They said the game is only 40% complete, I bet we're not getting this until mid-2018 at the earliest

>>376521980
I think he meant that in a good way? At least I'd do so. Love a simple UI and the shaders in the screenshots look pretty good for a DW game.

>>376517302
Who even still palys that trash?
Then again there are millions of retard who still buy and eat Nintendo shit.

>>376521161
>>376522202
While we're on the subject of characters being less flashy. Can we stop with the blonde and white haired girl characters already?
Why can't they go with classic aesthetics like in the Rotk series? Those are way superior.

Chen Pu looks downright historical close to the shit we got in DW8.

>>376520016
Name ONE open world with real consequences.

Name ONE DW game with real consequences.

What the fuck makes you think a merger of these 2 concepts will produce something with real consequences?

Hilariously accurate typo considering the series barely changes in any substantial way from one version to another.

ZHANG LIAO WHEN

Thank god they're going for more historically accurate.

Now we will have Shu shown as the true heirs to the Han Dynasty, and stop the evil Wei dick sucking.

Looking forward to Diao Chan's new outfit

>>376523872
Obviously.

Liu Bei was a hypocrite

>>376523519
Mount and Blade, as stated in the post. Are you retarded?

>>376524056
Fuck off Liu Bin Bao

>>376524056
Fuck off Zhoogay Dong.

>>376524056
But more historically accurate is going to paint Shu in an even worse light.

You won't have the 3 brothers taking down Lu Bu cause Sun Jian does that instead.

You won't have Zhuge Liang doing his fancy wind shit at Chibi cause Wu did everything in that fight.

>>376524056
Though the writer was a Shu cocksucker, and his writing seem to want to make Shu in the best light upon further inspection it shows how Shu was just as corrupt if not more so since intel on Shu was strong.

>>376523519
>Name ONE DW game with real consequences.

The Dynasty Warriors: Empires spin off game series.
>Name ONE open world with real consequences.
The latest Romance of the Three Kingdoms game.

Why don't any other devs mess about with this setting? Omega Force are terrible but there's no alternative for this specific part of history

>>376524056
>Thank god they're going for more historically accurate
They said the same thing for DW8 too.

>>376521161
>new character costumes less flashy and more realistic

I hope so. I used to play DW and SW all the time but the clusterfuck "bijin" character designs and more shallow anime archetypes really turned me off from the newer ones. DW8 is the only post-6 musou game I played at all.

7 and 8 was back pedaling from 6 without admitting they ducked up at 6.

Compare DW7 and 8 designs for characters like Gan Ning, Sun Jian, and most notably Bao Sanniang.

>>376521161
This is too ambitious for them honestly. I like what I'm hearing but I can't keep my hopes up too high.

Then again I haven't played any of the Musou games that aren't DW and SW to see if they have been testing anything new to success.

>7 and 8 was back pedaling
Only in terms of gameplay. Character designs remained pure trash. That dogshit character you posted didn't even exist in 6 and she's every bit as bad as the worst ones in 6.

>>376525491
It means that most characters use the DW8 PS4 release assets.

The game got kinda upgraded there.
PC DW8 for example uses PS3 assets

>>376520016
Open world won't change much about the core gameplay. When it comes down to it, Musou is just about doing the same shit over and over again like an actual diagnosed autism child.

Open world DW with more detailed combat, sounds awesome in my book desu
