Life is unpredictable, but of some things we can be certain - the Sun will set tomorrow, winter shall follow fall and Koei will always, always announce a new Dynasty Warriors sequel. After teasing with spin-offs, the kings of repetition at Koei have officially stated that the new-gen Dynasty Warriors 6 is hitting the PlayStation 3 soon. Currently in development, my favorite button masher will see a Japanese release in the fall, as announced at the PlayStation Premier event in Tokyo.
Koei's president Kenji Matsuhara made the announcement and claimed that the new credos for DW6 was "Extreme Action, Extreme Battlefield." I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty extreme. According to Famitsu, combos will be nigh-on limitless, there will be new weapons and the battlefield will offer an increased freedom. Not quite sure what kind of freedom we're talking about, but I can guarantee one thing -- I am going to be there on launch day, smearing my genitals all over copies of this game.
I'm ... pathetic.

I've not tried Gundam yet, sadly, but I know I'll get it as soon as it's out.

TO THE EXTREME
Aw shit who cares, it's got Lu Bu, I'll be playing it. Once I have... a PS3... and stuff... of course.
whatever, the only Dynasty game I'll be playing is Gundam, because Dynasty Warriors got OLD... but I mean come one... GUNDAMS!
LET US DEFEAT OUR FOES WITH SWIFT GRACE
THE ENEMY IS WITHIN OUR GRASP
Seriously, I can't get enough of DW. Somebody slap me.
The horse says, "Neigh."
The Cao Cao says, "Moo Moo."
Of course, now I'll probably be hung for my comments, but I knew the price when I opened my mouth.
If I am to get hung, at least use a silk rope. It does wonders for my skin...
I'm... right? How the hell did that happen? Is Hell freezing over? OMGWTFBBQ!!
like a north star of mediocrity...
good work sterling, good work. another universal truth so aptly identified.
Need this for 360. Will not buy PS3 for DW6, no matter how much it hurts.
Screw Dynasty Warriors, where's the next Dynasty Tactics????
@Jim: I have no idea why, but that picture just made me start laughing uncontrollably at work for a good twenty seconds. Well done.
