I’m a big fan of the Dynasty Warriors games, which is probably a bit stupid as it’s barely evolved since Dynasty Warriors 3, which was the best game in the series for me combined with DW3 Extreme Legends.
Despite how stale the series has became, I can’t help but get excited when I think about Dynasty Warriors 6 on PS3 (also out on 360), with (hopefully) massively improved visuals and a better combat system. Erm, maybe I should scratch that last one.
It’s out in Japan this November 22, while North America and Europe will probably get it sometime during Q2/Q3 2008, going off previous releases in the series.
This is up there with PES 2008, DMC4 and GTA IV for my most anticipated games for the PS3. Shu FTW!!! Lu Bu is going to get his arse kicked once again.

I’m so hyped for this game. It looks stunning! So many enemies to slaughter and having the ability to swim is quite interesting. Could add an extra tactical element to combat as you could swim around to the enemies less guarded weak point and make an assault from there.
I hope it has online co-op. Now that would be awesome!

So wait, you are telling me you are dissapointed with Warhawk, but anxiously looking forward to DYNASTY WARRIORS!? This game hasn’t evolved since the second one, you could even say that it has never evolved much from the original. I bought and played 4, and it was somewhat fun, but when i rented 2 and played my friends 3, I realized that it was all basically THE SAME GAME with a new number at the end. You still fight the yellow turban rebellion, Lu Bu is still the same Lu Bu, the enemies are still dumb.
Dynasty Warriors 6 cant really be expected to be any better than what the series has offered so far. It will be a fresher coat of paint on an game in desperate need of something new.

Yeah, that sums it up. I’ve played every DW game from DW 2 through to 5, including Xtreme Legends aswell.
It’s my type of game, whereas Warhawk isn’t.
I’ve never really minded the repetitive combat in DW as it was a lot of fun racking up 2000 kills on certain stages and getting new and powerful weapons giving you an extra couple of combo moves.
As I’ve said, the series peaked at DW3, and it’s barely evolved since then but DW6 looks great and I’ll definitely be buying it as I know it will be a lot of fun, added with better visuals and hopefully new gameplay elements.

I am quite contend with Dynasty Warriors staying this way in my opinion.
Do people actually know it’s based on the novel Romance of Three Kingdoms? I rather them not deviating too far from it. I don’t really want whacky/weird story development.
They’ve been adding more and more battles every new games. They have new characters. I expect the PS3 version to be a signifcant upgrade. It’s fine if the gameplay element is similar. 3 and 5 were the best in my opinion.

I do know what it’s based on, but thats no excuse for the gameplay. You could still inject something fresh to the gameplay elements while remaining true to the material. Just look at World War 2 games, there are TONS of ways to play what is essentially the same story.
While I enjoyed the Dynasty Warriors games I have played, its still annoying that they game hasnt changed much. And I’m not asking them to do something completely different, I would be satisfied if they at least improved a substantive amount on whats there. Make the enemies smarter and a little less like standing soulless meat puppets waiting to die. Make the game feel a little less like I have to single handedly win it for my side. There is alot that could be improved without changing what makes the games enjoyable.

7 of the generals have been scrapped for DW 6, most noticeably ones such as Da Qiao ( i cant believe they got rid of her, she wa such a good character), Xing Cai, Pang De, Zuo Ci and others, including Jiang Wei, Zhu Rong and Meng Huo.
Well, there goes about half the fun of the game

it looks great but they should keep some of their old weapons, like xiahou dun has a stick rod thing, what happened to his big ass sword? man meng huo was one of my favorite characters that really pisses me off!
