But I still see the map of DW5 He Fei and Hu Lao Gate. I seriously think this is not really a well polished brand new game...

Though the dream team of Hanzo-Tadakatsu-Guan Yu IS a tempting stuff.

And I do hope they include classic costumes for some characters (I seriously prefer DW4 Zhen Ji's costume...)

You're right. But didn't someone said that this is also DW vs. SW game? It's possible that you are able to play DW5 and SW2 stages in Free Mode, but story mode has its own stages.

Sigh... >_>. Too much speculation...

Well they also need to assess about the fact that DW Characters have Jump Charge, SW Characters have R1 Specials. How to balance that remains a question.

Hmm, while they're reusing the battle maps, it seems they've be "demonized" in detail. Also, that's a Japanese-style building in the screenshot at Hu Lao Gate. :huh:

Both Chinese and Japanese peons can be enemies at the same time, as well.

Oh, and three-way battles are back again!

Can someone who reads Japanese translate the story page?

Did anyone else notice that there are 3 different character types? (Blue, Yellow, Orange) Maybe those indicate the 3 different types of characters they had in Samurai Warriors 2 and they did update the Dynasty Warriors movesets.

Game looks rushed out the door judging by the screenshots. It looks like Dynasty Warriors 4 crossed with the first Samurai Warriors to me and just by looking at the character selection screen and other shots it looks like Kotaro Fuuma isn't playable or he probably is Orochi or something fused together. Wierd. Definitely downgraded to Samurai Warriors 1. I have a feeling its based off that engine/mechanics of that game.

You're right, I don't see Kotaro either. :o I also thought that the picture looked a bit like him. Perhaps he is somehow a main villain and you unlock him later? I wouldn't think that they'd cut him out when they have the three cut characters from Samurai Warriors in there.

*Hoping for Nu Wa and Fu Xi* :P

If you look at the selection screen shown it's clearly the characters from SW1 and they clearly have a second tab labelled SW2. Why do you think Kotaro isn't in it? Hideyoshi isn't shown in any of those screenshots either, for example but I'm pretty sure he'll be in the game. Wy would they make a game in SW1 style when I'm pretty sure that was the least popular warriors game they've ever made? Surely they'd just use their most popular (dynasty warriors 5) or the most recent (Samurai Warriors 2)?

The gameplay looks alot like Samurai Warriors 1 and Dynasty Warriors 4. Its probably something they had on hold for awhile and finally came out with it because its probably their last PS2 game or something.

Are there gameplay videos already? Cause I sure can't tell how the game plays by just looking at a few screenshots. >.< What's the point of saying that the game looks a lot like DW4 and SW1? All Musou games have the same gameplay. :P

You're right.
From what I've seen in the screenshots...
Red: Power (Kunoichi & Goemon)
Yellow: Technique (Zhuge Liang)
Blue: No clue, as it isn't shown

@BEO, of course there is no trailer yet. The game has just been officially announced for less than a week.. maybe wait 3 more weeks.

.....

Anyway... judging from today's screenshots, I suppose it's safe to assume that chances of SW NPCs (kojiroukatsuiekennyo) playable are slim to none.
In the character selection screen - the 'Sengoku 1' tab one, there are 15 characters, and it seems to have reached the limit of the screen.
So that means the 4 XL characters are placed along with 10 SW2 characters in the 'Sengoku 2' tab...

In short, while it's still possible to re-add Nu Wa and Fu Xi to the 'Others' tab, chances for SW NPCs are, I repeat, slim to none... :(

And damn for the 1 musou bar :)

I don't know if anyone else noticed this or not, but in the screenshots the musou bars have different colors. It might be a double musou or something when it gets a certain color or its probably when your able to do a triple musou attack. I don't for sure so look at the pictures and see what you think.

From the looks of it, I would say that the bars only flashing and there is only one bar. Which does suck... -_-

I'm not sure, though.

Hold It!

Isn't the Musou bar supposed to flash in different colors when it's maxed out? At least it did in previous games... :rolleyes:

I'd love that. SW1 was so much better than SW2... I just wish they'd keep 5 things from SW2:
1) Horse musou
2) 3 Musou bars
3) Right analog camera control
4) R1 specials
5) Level ups during gameplay and integrated Castle maps.

OMG! I have been waiting for this game ever since I bought DW and SW! I REALLY hope they decide to bring it to the US. But with the PS2's life cycle declining... :(

Actually in one of those pictures just linked to Nagamasa is orange and Oichi is Yellow. So it probably isn't the same 3 types as SW2.

You can see the rest of the SW character's colours on the selection screens. Orange does look like a power type mostly (Keiji, Kenshin, Goemon and Ranmaru) but why would Kunoichi be power? Maybe the colours just indicate what characters can go together (i.e you need a team consisting of all 3)

I was finally able to view the official site (damn lag...)

I'm also curious about those color thingies, but I wonder do they determine character's moveset? Le'ts hope so, because then there would be at least some variety between DW characters.
