If not, then Koei has dropped one hell of a game series matching Kessen in gameplay and story...

I feel a bit cynical that of all the series Koei has, they are intending to milk DW, SW, WO, etc. etc. rinse and repeat. Just because the first Bladestorm was not as well received as other Koei games doesn't mean it lacks potential. I suppose we can still be happy with the fact that we had a fun run with a great one-shot... it will stay as we know it, a great game...

Needs more Zhu Rong >:C Posts: 181 Group: Members Member #689 Joined: February 15, 2006	....That's not like them :\| I was expecting slews of sequels like the other two main historical series. It seems people prefer the hack n' slash of actually being a historical figure from that era; maybe that's why KOEI decided to bin it? I dunno, but it sucks either way.

Joan of Arc's guardian and mentor Posts: 194 Group: Members Member #17,482 Joined: August 13, 2008	That may be the case. It does feel like you are considerably more powerful if you are using someone like Cao Cao himself rather than simply serving, say, the King of England as an unappreciated mercenary. BUT consider this: I really valued the connections your character made in this game. It's a different thing to be interacting with different historical characters rather than "being" them. And if someone doesn't appreciate/understand/like the dramatization of the personalities of the Hundred Years' War, then yes, they will dislike this game. Sigh...

Why do they even bother!!!! Posts: 2,393 Group: Members Member #9,380 Joined: August 25, 2007	Bladestorm isn't that popular game like DW or SW or WO. So I am glad Koei not going to make any since now they can spend more time on future DW or SW or WO game.

Ujiyasu is not impressed Posts: 5,567 Group: Global Moderators Member #5,870 Joined: March 1, 2007 Gender Male	It's not popular because it was given poor scores from the reviewers, because they don't know how to play the damn game. I haven't played the full game but the demo was amazing. It was something fresh, something NOT Warriors and it was quite fun for starters. PLUS: Original Source: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=229238 KOEI has no CURRENT PLANS for Bladestorm, that does not mean they won't have any Future plans :lol: Here's to hoping for future plans. So don't get unhappy, a BS2 might come in 3 years time. The Destructoid source skewered some of the info. Don't get unhappy!

So I am glad Koei not going to make any since now they can spend more time on future DW or SW or WO game. Koei isn't all about Sengoku and Sangoku. The fact that they're also giving attention to Gundam Musou makes me glad about that fact. History is rich, Koei should try to expand that! Myself, I pity that they don't want to continue the HYW... but at least that's NOW. Future is always unpredictable. I hope there's a somehow more of 'HYW Warrior'. I haven't played the game, but from what I heard, you control mercenaries instead of the historical people. That may be their low point if it's true, people would rather play as Jeanne d'Arc, La Hire, or Edward the Black Prince rather than a bunch of originals that they practically never hear before.

(you may have meant this by the Originals comment, but then ofc they are unheard of :mellow:) I agree that people would likely wish to play as the specific characters more though, as much as I loved Bladestorm as it was.

Posts: 6,846 Group: Admins Member #3,636 Joined: October 5, 2006 Gender Male	Xalfrea Sep 4 2008, 02:42 PM Why do Kessen games and similar stuff always get thrown in the Koei trash bin? So it seems. They don't seem to be hinting at a K3 or another DT game either. One-off games can feel awkward when another is not production, but then again it might of turned out worse than the original. I guess Koei have been trying and can't help but stick with the Warriors series.

So I am glad Koei not going to make any since now they can spend more time on future DW or SW or WO game. LOL! While DW, SW and WO are awesome games in themselves, THEY also had to start somewhere. THEY also had to have work put into them, to gradually build them up into the gaming giant they are today. BTW "popular" doesn't mean "good". I'm not saying the other franchises aren't good, but "popular" is not exactly a dignified reason to work on something. Especially when those popular games are so incredibly repetitive. This is an objective fact, even us Koei fanboys know that.

If you read the Eurogamer article it doesnt look like KOEI closed down the series just that they are working on other projects at the moment.

It's like with Final Fantasy, should Square-Enix make something else it will attract die hard RPG fans, but not general Final Fantasy fans, they will just want more FFs instead. Same applies to alternate KOEI games, many just want more Warriors extensions. Which is why it's a greater risk for KOEI to try these things, and I guess Bladestorm, to date anyway wasn't successful enough for them to consider another right now.

Thanks GLP & CDM, anyways. Everyone has different tastes & if players doesn't buy, doesn't care enough a game, (they don't earn enough money) ... .. it's finished, even if we like that game... However, we'll see later, just hope for BLADESTORM, it'sn't finished yet & let's advertise it everywhere ^^

Needs more Zhu Rong >:C Posts: 181 Group: Members Member #689 Joined: February 15, 2006	Yeah I'm glad I got it too; and to be quite honest I wouldn't mind a Warriors version of the HYW. I'm sitting on the fence really while I do love DW and SW, by god was it refreshing with Bladestorm, I thought it was a nice real time Kessen of sorts, and with your own input you could establish character relations with either side you preferred, which was nice though not completely new since you could do that anyways... But I mean like, not going along a predetermined historical path (like, in DW you've got Gan Ning eventually getting buddy buddy with Ling Tong, or in SW you've got Kanetsugu and Yukimura etc) which you kind of know is going to happen if you're a seasoned veteran :rolleyes: . I dunno, it's hard to explain; the fact that you could deploy 3 different types of troop to suit your battle was refreshing. You can't exactly change styles in SW or DW (well, kind of in WO but you don't command a small contingent of units). GOD THIS IS SUCH A LONG WINDED POST, (tl;dr etc): SUMMARISING IT I'm just trying to say that I'd love any sort of incarnation of Bladestorm, be it Warriors style or if they keep going with the formula established now. Here's hoping it won't be too long before that happens :D. Though yeah, as Yahtzee put it: if it's not a sequel to a well known franchise, people might be too scared to try it =/.

I think Koei players would be amongst the first to rate Bladestorm highly, to be fair. I am a Kessen fan and I'm sure I would enjoy BS too if I had new generation console. It's surprising that there's no Kessen IV from Koei when Kessen III was a really great strategy game. Maybe it wasn't popular but those who played it knew it's one good game with interesting plot and gameplay. And now Koei did the same to Bladestorm. Can't really blame them, game companies stick to what benefit them the most.
