Unless a proper physics engine has been added then it's just the same old shitty DW but with a fresh coat of paint.

Another series ruined by the open world meme. I can't wait for another flat wasteland with guard outposts, viewpoints and collectables.

If they tone down the rampant faggotry that permeated 6, 7 and 8 like they promise I might actually get this.

Interested. I just hope it stays this way cause I fucking hate how everyone looks in 6-8. Like the series decided its costuke design wasnt anime enough and they all looked too Chinese.

Pirate warriors is p gud

Hopefully their campaign might attempt a Nobunaga Ambition-type progression. You wander around as time passes and if certain conditions are met, then historical events will occur? Otherwise, you jump straight into a what-if scenario..

The series always had a little bit of that but it really fucking got out of hand after 6. I hope they can return to the style of 3-5 but I doubt it. They should just reboot this series. It's too far gone to salvage it. Seriously almost everyone they added after 6 either looks like a Sengoku Basara reject (e.g. Deng Ai, Guo Huai, Ding Feng, Jia Chong) or looks like they belong in a dating sim rather than a wargame.

Cool designs, the famitsu coverage did say the characters would look less flashy, being more "realistic" leaned, but honestly I gotta see more designs first because these seem just small alterations from their DW9 looks.

Mostly women dressed flashy back in DW7 and DW9, I wonder if they will have the balls to piss off fans of their latest designs though, Diachan for one just kept wearing less and less each new game, now she will be covered up to DW4 levels or more?

You are joking, right? Toukiden 2's open world was extremely simple and in no way seemed like a true improvement, the game's strenght lies in its hunting and battles, not even once I was happy to explore that world.

Dynasty Warriors 9 is being ambitions and I'm wary because Omega Force and Koei did not show experience and having enough resources to pull an open world worthy of praise.

>>376602951
>I just once would like female characters to look like their Rotk counterparts.
Then play RotK man, why scantly clad women bother people in a series where everyone is a 1000 man slayer, are able to shot lightning of their weapons?

Realism was never DW's aim, pandering to fujoshi and waifufas has proven to Koei Tecmo that it works to an extent, they won't drop them.

>>376603000
Not him but the open world was done well enough. Games like Toukiden or DW are already semi-open world anyway. They provide you with the small sub-worlds you run back and forth in. So when they decide to go the whole nine yards, its only natural.
I think a lot of people miss how "open world" is the preferred or "go to" state of many titles in principle.

>>376603112

>>376602503
Yeah, I gotta agree with the >>376603000 nice trips btw

Toukiden 2's world was garbage. There was no reason to add it. No exploration, no worthwile quests, no interesting mechanics with monsters, no reactivity, no nothing. Just shit. And they're so lazy they didn't even add a single new monster type to populate it, all of them are just copypasted recolors that Kiwami already had. It was just pointless. In fact, it actually demistified the world by making it like "take two steps and you're suddenly in the Age of X instead of the Age of Y" with no transition or distance or anything between them.

They look like small alterations from DW8 so far, wait for popular Fujo characters like Guo Jia to pop up, if he is wearing a full body armor instead of his usual robes then yeah true changes are being made, if not then nothing is being drastically changed.

You are talking about the male characters that are not popular with fujoshi?

Guo Jia and Zhou Yu rape the polls, and they are pretty boys, only Zhao Yun is a fully armored popular male characters among women, yet he looks handsome as fuck.

And water is wet. He's right though. They girls in Warriors games always look like utter crap.

>>376603659
Obviously talking about small monsters that populate the area and not the large ones you occasionally come across. Which one did they add that wasn't in Kiwami? I would love to know.

>>376603000
Ideal outcome would be that they learned from all the spin-off games so far and will incorporate that into traditionally conservative series.

>>376603573
>Just pick a style and stick with it.

You mean the ones that guard the corruption stones? THE ENTIRE CLASS OF ALL THREE OF THEM??? wow

And the game treats those monsters the same way as larger ones. You can break at least one part on them, they get their own force field arena. Same thing. The fox spirit in Kiwami was medium sized as well, the fact that they're smaller doesn't mean shit. Not what I asked for.

>Is always quietly standing by as all the other people argue over Shu,Wei and Jin.

As for the game i am a little worried they haven't showed a female character yet. Call me scum if you want but i hope the more traditional clothing style they are going with isnt gonna mean no more or less tits.

Other then that looks pretty cool so far as long as this new combat style isnt shit.

Well, looks like this is my chance to get into the franchise without having to cringe at the character design.

>>376604610
I suspect only Story Mode will be open world, Free Mode or something alike will be more traditional maps.

Since story is back to being character based, then I think many of the cast will be relegated to playable roles only outside story.

Hold the gate for all eternity. Not being on a mission, just riding through China and seeing a gate that no one will ever come through again, because I'm holding it.

They fight Cao Cao, they fight for freedom


As I typed this, another commander died

>>376604753

Ce has always been designed as Japanese Alexander the Great, which makes sense really.

>>376604753
Better wait for more character design to be revealed then, they are promissing more military aligned themes but DW always had a balance between flamboyant design and serious designs, Zhao Yun for one never looked flashy, so you better wait for people like Sun Ce you already described to see if things really changed.

>>376604761

I doubt that. Free mode is probably being able to warp between the settings, you normally have to advance though step by step.
My guess is that co-op is either an extra mode, besides free mode. Or that they limit it in terms of mission area.

Hell, for all we know, every story mission even SP could be limited by a mission area

It sounds a little bit like how Kingdom Hearts 2 does it's attacks, in that game you would equip different attacks and combo enders, and it would change depending on the enemies, eg if you were surrounded you do the aoe move at the end, if the enemy is far away when you start the combo you do the dash attack. I get the feeling from the wording that it's not the main form of offense though, maybe that's just wishful thinking cause there's really no reason they need to get rid of the Charge system, but I would feel more at ease if they announced for sure that they're both in, and that everyone has their 8/8XL weapons rather than forcing the DLC weapons on them like 8E.

If they change it from being her main weapon, it would have to go to someone else, but the weapon fits her well with her whole bodyguard schtick and having plenty of ballistics. It's why they gave her it in the first place, and it's great being a walking arbalest mowing down troops as they run at you. If you just want a different weapon you could play someone else, but this one was made for her. It's partly why I hate the whole "slap DLC weapons onto existing characters because they have nowhere else to go" thing they keep doing. It's very shortsighted, rather than DLC weapons they should just do DLC characters or something.

>>376608239
Maybe because his moveset was fucking garbage. That shit C3EX makes me angry just remembering it. I was so hyped for the weapon, goddamn.

But at least it's better than Guan Xing's.

>>376610121
>he didn't learn about sending wheels into wheels with C1
The only problem the weapon had was not having any elemental charge attacks at all for whatever reason. It hurt it's damage output a lot but not the moveset itself, that's still solid. You just have to be careful where you're swinging so you don't get caught from the side, it has less aoe than it looks on some moves (which C3EX delivers on so it's not shit at all) but it's easy to get used to.

that would be amazing. and let the sw series go back to what they were in 1&2 while we're at it. i hated godspeed in 4. made pawns even more useless

after i had completed 4 and went back and tried 2 on a fresh character and got absolutely slaughtered to the first officer on the map on normal

Meanwhile on 4 i could start a fresh character on hard and have no issues. hell i even think i tried out nightmare and was able to beat the first story mission on a fresh character

>>376611454
Well, you can still technically do that, they just have to come back every once in a while, which is pretty fair since having a unstoppable explosion around you would be a bit much. It makes it more interactive when you keep putting them out and aiming them differently based on what you want.

He might be one of the Guan troop but his weapon is nuts and tons of fun to use once you get it down. You should try it out some more.

>>376611990
The issue with 4's difficulty was less to do with the Hyper attacks and more to do with the general flow of battles and missions meaning that you pretty much never have to fight in any area where the enemy has morale. They change in strength dramatically and troops can shrug off Hyper attacks if the map is even pink. Hyper attacks were alright for the most part and really fun to use, they just needed more soft counters rather than hard counters. Make them not move as far forward, but have the potential to actually flinch officers, so you're less inclined to use one movelist for troops and one for officers and can mix them together more based on the situation.

>Now we're cooking
>mfw

I love Chi Bi so much man. Easily my favorite battle of the period.

>Hyper attacks were alright for the most part and really fun to use
The novelty of them wore off for me after a few hours. All characters felt the same with it and, like i said earlier, pawns just got even more irrelevant than before. That has always been my main issue with the newer musous games. They focus to much on cramming as many pawns on the screen to the point of when you defeat a bunch of them more pop up. I'd rather have them less in number and a threat like they were in the older games.

Just my 2 cents though. I know i'm very much in the minority when it comes to disliking the hyper attacks.

That said i fucking love dash cancel in the OPW games.

I wish someone would make a nice mix of basara and musous games

Did DW8 still have the 1 on 1 general fights? Or am I thinking of a different game, maybe Samurai Warriors?

>>376613836
DW4 was the one.

>>376613836
>>376613940
Didnt DW6 also have it?

>>376614238
it did

>>376609601
No Chinese pig can hold a candle the most beautiful women in Japan.

Just fucking give Lingqi happy daddy time with Lu Bu and Ill be happy. The girl deserves happiness

>Shu and Wei throwing shit at eachother
>Meanwhile Wu sits comfyly on their side of the river

Wu anyday
Chillest kingdom

>>376610102
No offence to those brave and stalwart heroes, but I've replayed dynasty warriors 8 three times and I can not remember a single thing Wu did.

>>376613780
That's fair enough. The most recent games have been handling the pop in a bit better, but while I don't think Hyper attacks are really all the same between characters and they have a lot of uniqueness in their general movesets, there could have been much more clever usage of them from a moveset standpoint, as even though each one did have different effects, only using them on troops with no morale made that feel less important. Stuff like one of Yukimura's Hyper attacks ending in the air, letting you do an air Charge to drop down and then his Special move was really cool. I do think they don't have to focus so much on the numbers, though all they really have to do is make them slightly more aggressive, and give officers full movelists. They're not far off by any means, and getting surrounded especially on higher difficulties can be a death sentence if you're not careful.
>>376613836
DW4 had it where it cut to a separate arena after a cutscene if you accepted, while DW6 brought it back but had it seamless within the battle, with the troops forming a circle around you.
I really hope they bring back the few things DW6 did right, and from all the movement and siege options coming back it sounds like they are. There's a lot in the series they've left behind that could return really, like announcing yourself from DW4, which could work as the duel trigger.

>>376614737
Well, they like fire a lot...and at least one of them die off in every stage...yeah, that's it.

>>376614680
Considering no What Ifs this time around then no happy times to come, Lu Bu will go arrogant again and doom himself again.

>>376614737
I can help you there. Almost anything significant Shu did, that was actually Wu.

>open world
So they took some of the DQH2 formula and is integrating it into DW9?

>>376614975

Well, time to wait for the inevitable Xtreme Legends expansion then.

>>376600061
This dude looks baller as fuck. Really digging the style.

Are dodge rolls back?

>>376614737
Me neither, only things I remember at all are Sun Ce getting killed while ghostbusting and this thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm1xfl2A8lU

Stuff from the famitsu interview.

Game progression:
>battles dynamically take place around landmarks like Hu Lao Gate pretty much all the time
>there is also always one key battle you can fight to actually make progress, this is the story mission
>if you win the story mission, the state of the world changes e.g. who controls what area and what the NPCs are talking about
>there will be no branches or 'what if' scenarios in the story

Character availability:
>in story mode characters are tied to the era they were active in ( this is one of the reasons they picked Cheng Pu, since motherfucker was around forever)
>they are still not sure whether they should allow character switching at all

Map:
>map will have fast travel
>there will be a few cities that are about 1 square km large
>also boring open world questing shit like kill x wild animals with your bow or go here and kill the local bandits

Characters:
>all 83 characters from DW8E will be playable along with new ones
>they're saying they'll be toning down the pretty boys and the generic Tecmo whores - probably bullshit
>also, characters for the first time are made for PS4 instead using PS3 assets and will have high res face textures that look good in close ups but they won't make it too realistic

Gameplay:
>contextual combos are new; e.g. if you're air juggling a general you won't be getting the same attack animations as if you were attacking him when he was on the ground
>DW4&5 style bow is back for everyone

Wu? More like, Who, am I right?

>>376615251
>>376614737
Oh, and Sun Jian finding the golden seal after the battle with Dong Zhuo

>>376609369

Holy hell all this shit taste. Your taste differs from mine. I cannot allow you to live! Die!

>>376615274

What do they mean by "toning" down the female characters? Because if theyre aiming for authenticity, only Zhurong was mentioned to have actually fought. Everyone of them except ssx were made up characters to add more female characters to the roster. Look at Basara. Its a sausage fest there.

>>376614737
BTFO'd Shu real bad with the Jing Province affairs.

>>376615638
probably less waifubaiting designs

>>376615668

As a Wufag this is my favorite cutscene of all games.
Look at the impotent rage of the Shufag.
Tries to get it back to Wu, only ends up burning

>>376615274
>they're saying they'll be toning down the pretty boys and the generic Tecmo whores - probably bullshit
The actual text is saying the characters will be wearing something more akin to military uniforms.

>>376615782

As long as they still keep the pretty faces, I dont give a damn. Best girls like Lingqi never even had to slut it up be appealing. Instead id be game for more women in badass chinese armor.

>>376615931
but how will i look at xingcais pantsu now

>>376615638
That anon gave his own wording to the famitsu coverage, the actual bit about character design just says they will look less flashy, to be wearing more militaristic getups, it doesn't go into specifics for men or women.

>>376616082

Skin tight leather pants.

>>376615782
There are not really all that much waifubait designs.

Diao Chan is supposed to be a slut and both Chunhua and LianShi are MOMMY tier, but that's it.

>>376616082
Alternate costume or DLC.

KT has plenty of proof with DOA that charging for varied costumes is a huge profit because dedicated waifufags will eat it up.

>>376616197
I guess it's more about costumes
>>376615941
this

>>376616197

True. Bao Sanniang, Yinping and the Xiao sisters need a fucking design overhaul though.

>>376616197
>There are not really all that much waifubait designs.

Ahahahahah.

wait

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Yeah, only every single one of them.

>>376615638
Wang Yi is real and actually fought (helped defend a castle during a siege by Ma Chao IIRC). SSX, while real, never fought in a battlefield.

I believe Zhurong is fictional.

>>376613559

I'm inclined to think that the WO orochi series only got better and better with each sequel, culminating in the pinnacle of Musou in 3. Although OW1 will always have a special place in my heart for some unknown reason

>>376607094
>capturing Hefei while Cyclonized Typhoon plays
You cant win

On the topic of women, was there even a female character in dw who did anything worthwhile? Theyre either scheming cunts like Chunhua or just worthless fighters who always lose and just there to be eye candy.

>Tfw we will never have a warring states game

All they would need is to base it off kingdom

>>376616460
Tasty

>>376616609
There is a Kingdom musou

>>376609358
>implying
She fucked Ding Feng and Zhou Tai

>>376613559
It's the best musou game period.

>tons of content
>great weapon customization
>using glorious DW5/SW2 era character designs instead of nu-musou trash
>no shitty guest characters from various random games no one cares about
>the OC fantasy shit, while over the top, fits pretty well

It's just damn good. They should go and remaster Warriors Orochi Z and put it on PS4 and Steam.

>>376616595
Wang Yi.

She and his husband were able to take back land from Ma Chao and hold long enough so that reinforcements would drive him away for good

What about ma boi Xiahou Dun? Did they ruin him again?

Same story or different?

>>376616759
Lies and slander! Lianshi is pure and canonised Empress of Wu!

>>376604937
Yeah. He looked like a badass with long hair. Now he looks like some faggy twink pirate

DW5 had the best music.

Discuss

>>376617052
He has already been shown and he looks cool enough.

>>376599772

I like the designs. Shit got a bit out of control for 6 and 7, they toned it down a bit for 8, now it they seem to be getting back to that sweet DW5 design principle. In fact, Guan Yu's design is pretty much a combination of his DW4 and 5 designs.

>>376617052
Literally the third post in the thread.
>>376617096
Well, these games are all based around the Romance of the Three Kingdoms period of China, so yeah it'll have the same strokes.

>>376617096
Same. Probably more detail to the events seeing as they're split into eras.

No changing the outcome of the story so Lu Bu won't be killing the ghosts of everyone in China this time.

>>376617096
Why are you expecting a different story in Dynasty Warriors?

I hope Xu Shu comes back with another hooded outfit. Can't wait for the nice portrait artwork to be released, too

>open world

Why did they fall for this meme bros?

>>376617414

Because Nier and Botw sold lots of weebux.

Just accept it anon.

Just wait for Miyazakis next announcement. It will be open world souls with fetch quests.

>>376617251
Actually to me it looks like all the designs are a sort of combination of each character's best designs over the series. They've all turned out pretty well and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest. One important question remains though.
Will Lu Xun get his hat back as an option?

>>376617414
Don't you want to ride a horse on a road for 10 minutes with some fedex quests sprinkled around before you get to do the exact same shit you did in the other games?

What's wrong with you???

>>376617414
Because Skyrim is one of the few western games to ever get a perfect score on Famitsu, Japan really wet itself when Todd said "See that mountain? You can climb it." Then Breath of the Wild happened and made sure Japan will be slave to open world for a while longer.

>>376602964

Well, that's like saying you like to watch the olympics when asked if you prefer to jog or to swim. You're talking about a completely different thing.

>>376617414
To be honest, of all the games to fall for the open world meme, this is one that I think could really benefit from it if they play it right. It'll bring across the scale of the battles really effectively

>>376617001

I mean in the games themselves. Afaik, Wang Yis husband has always been killed by Ma Chao in the games.
