Six minutes of Dynasty Warriors 9 gameplay

>>385205710

Oh shit, is it actually going to be something of a strategy game now?

>Shows off the open world by fast travelling all over place.
It's like in reality they didn't even want to do this.

Combat looks really slow.

>>385205797
Doesn't seem that way to me, at least not to the player character, the menu did show some formation in planning but the Guan Yu player just stormed the battlefield like any brainless warmonger, same thing that worked most of the time in the previous games.

Fuck me, they went for that minimalist hud western open world games usually have, I kinda like it, gives it a more modern outlook, I hope it isn't placeholder.

I swear to God, I will kill Todd if this doesn't have a traditional Dynasty Warriors soundtrack because of le open world maymay.

>>385205916
Looks slow as any Level 1 beginner character to me, especially Guan Yu who is slow as fuck at early levels. That seems to be the initiative against Dong Zhuo so it is likely the begining of the game.

where's Zhang Liao?

>>385205710
China is getting their own dub as seen in that vid, can we get our corny english dub then please?

>>385206284
Not part of the rallying against Dong Zhuo.

i dont speak sub-human but it looks pretty good.

>>385205710
Looks literally the same as every other musou game. I guess we'll get silky smooth 20fps now thanks to open meme world.

>>385206039

Did you not listen to the fucking music in the trailer you mongoloid? The second he goes into battle the normal music kicks in.

>>385206039
They can't be too stupid to the point of having a Dynasty Warriors game without the ever appearing Lu Bu's theme.

>>385205710
I had some hope but it looks kinda shit again.

The hud is still terrible, animations are still poor and the open world is apparently just travelling between the usual DW maps with some bandit camps in between aka the usual boring empty open world cancer.

PS4 Pro enhanced, they are saying it's 1080p at 60fps / 4k at 30fps on it, if it's anything like they did with Ni-Oh then it's true.

Wow the open world sure is full of nothing

>>385206535
Yeah you're right. The audio quality in that video is just really low, so I didn't hear it.

>>385205710

The AI seems as braindead as it was in 8. Enemy troops stand still and hardly do anything. I wish we could go back to DW 2 to 5, where sergeants could musou you, the AI in general was more aggressive, officers were a threat and you couldn't advance too far on your own, but had to partially relay on your troops.

>>385206596
>The hud is still terrible
Modern and professional, the best hud in a while.

>>385206687
Noih doesn't have so many enemies on screen. Bladestorm runs like ass on PS4.

Movement looks stiff and janky
Combat looks simplified even more than usual
Enemies still just stand there waiting to be cut down
Open world looks like pointless empty space between battles that you fast travel over anyway

Still not seeing how this series is benefiting from open world.

>>385206452
kek. At least it's Chinese and not Somalian though

Ive never seen a formula more milked in my entire life with the smallest adjustments
How do they keep getting money for this stuff 25 games later

>>385206710
Dunno, they seem even more braindead now.

>>385206710
That was when there were around 10 enemies at the screen at most, it isn't the first people complained about hundreds of brainded enemies on screen and Koei hasn't given a damn each time, they really want to push grand scale battles that look superficially pretty but in truth is just a mindless battle, the complaints don't seem to overtake the people who like it if they still keep the system as it is.

>>385206934
dont know. maybe its something wrong with me.

>>385206934
But isn't it a big adjustment if they go from stage based to open world (le may may xD).

I agree with you on the past though

>>385206827
>Bladestorm runs like ass on PS4.
Was that even Pro enhanced?

>>385206934
>game going complete open world
>smallest adjustments
what did anon meant by this

>>385206934
Some of the best sequels are purely iterative. Each time things are changed and refined to make the experience better or more extensive. It's not like Madden where it's literally the exact same game with new players.

>>385206934
China really loves the series, like a really lot, the niche fanbase in the west and some people in Japan just complement the paycheck.

My problem with these genre is that it is braindead and there is no fucking challenge whatsoever.

Lu Bu is the only big thing and it is basically just a meme.

>>385207024
He is kinda right, despite open world being a huge overhaul on practice, technically the game seems the same as ever judging by that video.

>>385207001
Warriors Orochi 3 is a miracle of the universe.

>>385207024
what difference does it make at all besides no loading times you're just teleporting around from battle to battle apparently

>>385207253
>despite this huge change game is still technically the same
they need to do FPS or something, I don't fucking get what do you want from Musou game.
Fighting like first one?

How good is WO3? I need a new musou to play
Any other reccomendations would be nice

>>385207424
Then you really can't compare as Bladstorm is not Pro enhanced, Boost mode is brute forcing the game to try to run a little better, not officially enhanced, gotta wait and see how the actual Pro enhanced DW9 performs.

>>385207548
if you like maxing out characters and seeing them interact, WO3 is the game for you.

>>385205710
Guan Yu has a new moveset.
Whether or not thus confirms clones is still unclear. (Because that's a lot of characters to make new moveset for)

Mugshots now move. I guess this will replace having different faces for different emotions.

Chinese dub. The 'DA DUDU' is gonna be real! I wonder if it's the same guys who will do the live action movie.

>>385207347
You can also approach battle or castle to siege from different directions

>>385207548
I never played 3 but I played 1 and 2 and those were pretty good. Loved the story and characters. I doubt you can make 3 aka Tecmo Allstars a bad game

>>385207349
>Fighting like first one?
I wouldn't complain, it is odd they tried only once, with the merger with Tecmo (and Team Ninja by proxy) one would think a fighting game was in order.

>>385206934
I honestly though they'd make some improvements this time around.

I feel like a fool.

>>385207446
He is very honorable, I hope his family become actual characters now.

Didn't DW have a recent strategy game? Not ROTK but it was similar ... I forget the name

>>385207663
Guan Yu is also literally worshiped like a god by some people so I think him getting special treatment isn't necessarily indicative of the rest of the cast

>>385207938
Yes, the one where Zhao Yun meets a fairy or some shit, it was Vita and PS4, it even got localized when I thought there was no way it would.

>>385206939
Dunno if this assures some people but according to people at koei warriors and Blackkite, interview with the producer says he set the game to the lowest setting to showcase the characters moves and not die in the middle of the presentation.

Since we got some recommendations going on, how is are the Empire games? I never played one and I'm eye'ing SW4:E because I heard SW4-2 wasn't that great.

The horse still looks like it controls terrible

>>385207938

Godseekers - SRPG

>>385205710
I hope I can play with chinese voices.

I remember really liking the strategy where you can actually command your general to guard, follow, attack, etc but with often no main story to play with it's just a different map with little interactions it gets old pretty fast

>>385208301

Samurai Warriors 4 - Empires has been a really good contender from my point of view. I've played Dynasty Warriors Empires from 4 onward the previous Samurai Warriors games.

Empires 4 is really fun, also a decent challenge. The strategy side of things has been pushed pretty hard and plays a huge part in the battles now, to the point that poor strategy and planning can cost you battles quite easily. The combat is as good as ever and the character creation engine is awesome. Genesis mode is fun, especially with custom characters and the befriend/rivalry/nemesis/love system is pretty cool, if a little time consuming.

Apparantly dodging from DW6 is back.

My last Dynasty Warriors was DW2 on PS2, so pretty much I would dive anew into this franchise.

Is there some execptional entry already available on PS4 or should I wait for this?

>>385208446
Yeah that's the one I thought that looked interesting completely forgot about it

Probably best place to ask, has anyone else found Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires to be astoundingly easy? On Normal and Hard, I don't have to worry about strategies, my other officers or anything, just get in and sweep the whole field. I've had to make a character who's crap with the weapons I'm using to make it challenging on hard, with common man stats. What's the deal?

>>385208678
Go for 8XL, this entry is experimental to say the least so wait for reviews

>>385208696
I'm having fun with it but I hate how easy it is too. Only rarely do i ever need to use Unity or Recovery.

>>385208560
Worst thing about it is that you can only be a ruler. Its why I rate DW Empires higher, you can play a full game at any rank from traveling bandit to Grand Marshal of a kingdom.

>>385205710
>peons still stand around waiting to get slaughtered
looks pretty decent otherwise

>>385208809

True, I would love to be able to play as a wandering Ronin for sure.

>>385208678
DW8XL or One Piece Warriors 3 if you like One Piece

I've really gotten into musou games recently, but the only Dynasty Warriors game I've played is Dynasty Warriors 4 years ago.

Would this be a good game to start with? I know there's a ton of lore and shit but will I be totally out of my depth if I start with 9?

>>385205710
>keep remaking the same game for 17 years
I don't get the appeal of this

>>385208975

Doubtful, they rehash the same stories and events every single release

>>385205710
That looks pretty gud. I like the mountainside and the siegetowers.

>>385209005
>game about Three Kingdoms
>they rehash same stories
gee, I wonder why
>>385208975
you'll be fine.

>>385208975
They've corrected stuff in some minor places like names and added new factions later you won't miss anything important jumping in whenever

>>385208905
I honestly can't understand why they didn't incorporate that into SW4:E. Imagine wondering Japan with your best bud or waifu and building a reputation for yourself that Nobunaga himself request for your service. Or plotting some shit with Mitsunari behind the scenes as joint strategists. It could have been great.

>>385209116

>>385208437
Wait, you thought they'd improve your travelling options in the open world setting? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA silly anon.

>>385207184
You never played the game on the higher difficulties. Most of the games are as hard as you want them to be and the endgame content can be hard as hell (like the Lu Bu fight in Strikeforce, Orochi X in WO2 or nearly everything in Gundam Musou).

Don't shittalk a great franchise without giving it a fair chance.

Well that didn't look good at all but I guess there's still a lot of time until release.

>>385205710
Hahahaha, is this the best they can do? This looks fucking garbage. Poor Sony having to house this trash on their console.

>>385205710
At first I was hyped, but now not so much.
From what we see it seems like the blandest and emptiest open-world since Fuel.

Well the game is far from completed yet. And as someone mentioned the demo was set to the easiest setting (Apparently in the retail game soldiers will try and shoot you down if you scale up walls.)
So we'll see.

The good things I do see so far are:
Revamped moves (is that a finisher I see on that downed soldier)
Moving mugshots.
The world looks nice.
It looks like other characters age as well. Cao Cao looks a bit younger there.
