hmmm doesn't sound like co-op mode is in, unless
Competitive mode is co-op but with competitive based
ranking charts. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

good news it's coming to Xbox360, the miffed news
is that it isnt coming until September. >.<


but it's a good thing I skipped DW6 and waited for
something like this to be announced. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

what's strange is that it was released for PS2 in
Japan. so not sure if Xbox360 is getting a straight
port or they are gonna update the graphics and maybe
even have online features. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I've seen a few of the videos of the JP version of Maou Sairin- looks very promising so far.

Having said that, Koei could probably dish up anything, call it a game, and I'd play it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif I get totally addicted to Dynasty Warriors games, and have Warriors Orochi too. The graphics don't actually need an update- I have the PC version, and it looks beautiful.

While the Warriors Orochi games are blatant fanservice, it's great to have a massive, diverse character cast- only a few characters have copied movesets.

I'll wait on more details I guess, but I'll buy Maou Sairin eventually.

Edit: Before anyone comes in saying 'Koei games are too easy', you haven't played Warriors Orochi on Chaos difficulty. It's insane ._.

oh ya! even DW5 back then on hardest was no push over! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif
but ya my fwends enjoyed the co-op and team attacks and stuff.
so maybe Competitive mode is sorta like co-op, as long as there is
no friendly fire. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

um um, unlocking characters in this sequel will be decent like before
right? Koei hasn't whipped up some crazy new requirements to unlock them all, huh? just curious. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

but ya I don't buy every since one, just the best
ones I like from the current generation. like I
owned DW4. and I then got DW5. I skipped all the
XL and empires. I skipped SW, SW2, WO, and DW6, so now
I'm interested in WO2. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif


you know ever since DW:Gundam, I always imagine how
cool it would be having a Dynasty Warriors Suikoden.
or a Dynasty Warriors Bleach (shinigami vs. hollows)

I'd definately recommend trying Warriors Orochi if you can, it's a very solid game, and Maou Sairin (sorry for the JP name, I don't know what it'll be called in English- something like Warriors Orochi 2: Rebirth of Demon Lord I think) links to it, as far as I'm aware.

As for unlocking characters, in the original WO, most characters were unlocked through playing the Story Mode on Wei/Wu/Shu/Sengoku. After that, the rest were obtained by doing certain things in missions (like killing certain generals in an order, or preventing any messengers escaping). Most were pretty easy- I don't play much now, but I have about 5 more characters left to unlock, which are pretty difficult ones- the likes of Tadakatsu Honda and Lu Bu.

I'm not sure how the unlock system works in WO2, but I'd imagine it'll be a similar method to the original game.

Another Warriors Orochi!? The first one was awesome, until you get all the characters. I hope this one has a better way to acheive unique items better then the first.

[Saner]

okay thanx! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif ya I remember unlocking the special saddles/harness
for special horses in DW5 had special requirements. so sneaky! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

oh lookie! here's all the Warriors Orochi character card scans! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Does this one still have that stupid "both players have to pick the same characters" thing?

I don't know if you're referring to an offline co-op mode or an online one, but you can believe at least Story mode will allow two players to play at the same time... just as Warriors Orochi 1 and ALL Warriors games have done in the past.

There was never a seperate "co-op mode" to be selected off the main menu. Second player would just press Start during Story or Free mode.

That, at least, will definitely be in WO2.

Man, I can't wait for this. I loved Warriors Orochi (I bought the Japanese version when I wan in Japan http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif), I'll probably bring my Xbox 360 over to Japan and buy the Japanese version or that too, although I'll have to mod it to play Japanese games I think. ._.

[Xefi]

They brought back Fu Xi and Nu Wa. That's hot! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[MrNomad]

Oh boy, all im gonna say is if the gameplay is gona be as broken and easymode as the first one I might just pass on it. I cant remember the last time a dynasty game ever had any challenge for me :/

[Saner]

do you ever play on Chaos mode? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[Raine_Loire]

This thread has officially made my day. I got addicted to DW games when I played DW Gundam hoping it would be like N3, and having it be WAAAAAY better. DW6 is my current fave, but I got orochi yesterday and it seems really fun. I already had it for my psp, but achievements make it worth playing on 360 lol.

September is my birthday, too! Mebbe a dood named Laguna will get a great present idea this year! *wink wink nudge nudge nudge*

[ThaiSoup]

Dyantasy Gundam lacked Variety, and so slow.
Dynasty 5, >> Did like everything on that game out of boredem. Getting the saddles were a pain. Anyhow, this one better be like, efficiently made and not a laghole.

[Sharkyland]

I still haven't beaten the first Warriors Orochi. x_x I just don't have time anymore.

[ThaiSoup]

Da Ji was a dirty cheater, and thats why she was always on my group. lol

[Zantra]

I think I would have been more suprised, if Koei didn't make a sequel.

In 2 to 3 years, we will be talking about Warriors Orochi 4...

[Alisha]

i'm definately looking forward to this game. i played the original till i had nearly everyones personal item and all 4th weapons. im only missing wei yan and lu bu's personal items. im not big on the DW chars but i love the SW chars. Ina and tachibana being my favorites.

[Saner]

I LOVE Wei Yan's voice in DW5. his story is soooo funney! :lol:

[Vanzazikon]

I liked Wei Yan voice in DW4, he sounded crazy.
