DW9 when?
>>340466664
After Koei Tecmo feels they have milked licensed series enough.
In a famitsu interview about the companies future, where all divisions directors were interviewed, when asked about DW, one director said he felt DW7 and DW8 weren't proper evolutions to the brand.
Then again they just felt the need to celebrate the series 16th anniversary (19th if the west was in that campaign) with Eiketsuden, so something might come up since I doubt they would celebrate an anniversary with a spin-off only.
>>340466783
>Announce a Main Title at E3 when they especifically want to hype the Western IP collaboration.
No.
>>340467126
They teased a major announcement for E3. It's going to be DW9.
>>340467601
It's the Western IP collaboration.
They just opened that "the most evil musou" teaser yesterday, it will be shown at Sony's conference.
my only worry is what DW6 did.
>cut half the cast
>cut half the movesets
>less than half the remaining cast has no story
>no unlockables or ultimate weapons
6 nearly killed the franchise, they were told to make 7 as if it was going to be the last game in the series to go all out and end it on a high note.
7 turned out AMAZING so they went further with it in 8. 8 was an improvment in everyway except for the story mode which was a big step down from DW7's story mode.
>>340467930
Might be Berserk Musou, there's a new anime and the series does well worldwide.
>>340467601
I wasn't aware DW9 will be "The most evil musou to date".
Pro-tip: It's not DW9
I want it, oh fucking lord how I want DW9, but it isn't the thing they are showing at E3.
>>340468010
>Might be Berserk Musou
It could work but no, KT released their Fiscal Report and stated they made a big collaboration with a western brand, not Berserk.
>>340468064
You never know, they could show a histroical Zhang Fei then it would be the most evil musou to date
>>340468670
They wouldn't pull a sudden genre shift on the Sangoku universe they built which has been completely "family friend" for the past 16/19 years.
unless they make DW series interesting, like focusing more on Warring states of China instead of the three kingdom romance bullshit, then nobody will give a shit about DW games anymore, it's like people buying the same sports game crap without changing anything
>>340470337
Best "family friendly" was DW4 with Dong Zhuo
>give him a giant rusty saw blade for a sword
>make him snarl his lines and consider anyone who opposes him an insect in battle
>story mode cut scene happens
>I JUST WANT TO MAKE PARADISE I DINDU NOTHIN'
>>340470337
it was more of a joke than anything, of course they would never adopt something like that. Still would be neat to see something that depicts the characters more akin to what they were in history.
>>340466539
All he did was pacify some barbarian tribes and was obsessed with looking fabulous, he's a bronze character for a reason.
Zhang He on the other hand was a legitimate badass whose mere presence was enough to terrify Liu Bei himself at Mt. Ding Jun despite their victory against Xiahou Yuan.
>>340467930
Doom Musou?
>>340467601
It's Berserk Warriors/Musou.
It's quite clearly Berserk.
>>340468010
>cut half the cast
At this point it would be a fucking blessing. New cast is terrible aside from a few exceptions. Either redesign everyone to be fuccbois and scantily clad whores or revert to the pre-DW6 art design of the franchise and keep it mostly consistent again.
>>340470548
You mean the History of Qin?
That doesn't compare to the glamour of the Three Kingdoms, only that manga "Kingdom" made it somewhat interesting and that by adding several fictional characters and events to it.
Why are so many charcters just so much worse than their historical counterparts? Guo Huai was a fucking beast of a general and yet in the games he is a sick weak vampire.
>>340470940
AIDS incarnate
What is the "male character obsessed with beauty and will not shut the fuck up about it" archetype even come from?
>>340471078
Agreed, the new cast is just that bad.

no your post, DW6 apologist, go lynch yourself.
>>340470927
I wasn't aware Berserk fans could be this delusional and immediately connect the colors Black/Red and the Phrase "The most evil musou to date" with IT CAN ONLY BE BERSERK, HOLY SHIT HOW CAN YOU GUYS NOT SEE IT'S BERSERK, THE ANIME IS COMING!
Just think of some popular western work that has plenty of famous evil characters, it is more probable that it will be what you thought of than Berserk.
>>340471234

But DW6 was pure trash, you edgy little teenager. Learn to read, you dumb fuck.

>>340470908
Musou with just one playable character? Who is even a character in the Doom series besides Doomguy?
>>340471380
Aww, the mentally defunct kid is now samefagging. How embarrassing.
>>340470940
>defending DW6
could you please fuck off and die?
>>340470797
DW is full of characters having their feats inflated to downright fictional to make its own "original" character for the series, you should really count on historical feats to consider someone as unworthy of building a rivalry.
>there are people in this thread

For all the shit talk about autism, in 8 years I've only met like 4-5 genuine autists here and you're one of them. Like, people occasionally call idiots autists but you're legit. Yours is a rare breed. Keep safe, little anon.

>>340470940
They have. They realized they fucked the bed with DW6, so DW7 was a "backpedal but not admit we were wrong", and by DW8 we were back to sensible designs again.
Remember, no fun allowed.
>>340468010
"Amazing" is a bit of a stretch. It had a nice story mode and the revamped musou attacks were a cool idea, but the movesets weren't anything special, clones were everywhere, EX attacks were just a bad attempt to fix the clone issue, the in0game character models models looked bad and plenty of characters barely did anything in the story. Conquest mode also got really boring pretty quickly.
>>340472587
Yue Jin was alright.
>>340472815
That's Eugene
Yue Jin is the young airhead guy
>>340472503
Nah. There are handful of good designs but 7 and 8 additions are mostly fuccbois and waifubait characters.
>>340472771
>and plenty of characters barely did anything in the story.
This can't be avoided with a 86 playable characters cast, something that will keep growing.
DW now focuses on the new characters for that edition, and the most important historical ones, the rest will take a back seat, nothing that it can be done at this point.
>>340472771
7 completely redeemed the series to me, honestly. I fucking hated musous on the PS2, but 7 and WO3 made the combat so much better that Omega Force is one of my favorite developers. 7 did get tiresome because of the unfortunate clones, but that's what 8's for, and 8's better anyway.
I'm glad they stopped writing him as a stereotypical bad guy. Wei was the best
>just want to play Sengoku Basara in a language that isn't moon runes
>can't but stuck with the inferior gameplay of DW until the end of time.
Fuck me.
>>340473934
Oh boy, do I have news for you! You're in luck. You can play the first Sengoku Basara in English. Enjoy!
>>340474096
fuck you, I meant the newer ones.
>>340473614
I'm glad they finally showed Shu for the lunatics they are, they got cast in a bad light finally after years.
>>340474096
You mean Devil Kings? Don't want to have those silly Americans playing games set in a foreign country!

Even by making them more fanatical, they still aren't portrayed in a bad light, hell, Guan Yu dies like motherfucking Raoh from Fist of the North Star, sending himself to heaven.
>>340472587
If the devs are gonna be lazy enough to only assign one personality trait to each new character, at least they decided to take a chance on making one of them a complete twat. Still, he was fun to use.
>>340474460
It has been years between the Wei and Jin campaign though, KT just doesn't want to show how old the characters are when they start their campaigns and in between the passage of years from each main battle.
Siman Yi is in his mid-fifties by the time his plan to have Wei under the Sima Clan begins.
Posting superior husbando from the superior musou series.
>you will never make the hard choice between honor and ethics
Was Romance of the Three Kingdom 100% real?
>>340475575
No, it clearly has some fiction added to it, Lu Bu certainly did not kill 1000 soldiers a day.
>>340475575
70% historical and 30% fiction is the general consensus, but I'd argue the percentage is even higher given how much of a Shufag Luo Guanzhong was. He literally writes Liu Bei to be Jesus and Zhuge Liang to be the most intelligent strategist of his time, when in actuality he was a very, very gifted administrator.
So like, WHERE THE FUCK IS OROCHI WARRIORS NIGGA?
DW8 - > SW4 -> all this other shit -> NIGGA IT'S TIME!
But last I checked they said the last THREE announcement weren't Orochi. What the fuck man.
