Ah, God bless my beloved
Koei Warriors. Those dedicated followers of all things Koei have pointed me in the direction of this three part video (courtesy of
GameInformer) which shows much more of the biggest cultural event since Dio's
Holy Diver, AKA
Dynasty Warriors 6.
In the above video and the two that follow, Koei's Jarik R. Sikat (who I can confirm is a lovely man, having spoken to him) walks us through three fully redesigned characters and talks a little about the new direction for Dynasty Warriors 6. Yes, to the untrained (stupid) eye, it's the same old garbage, but look! Unlimited combos, do you see? Duels, do you see? I don't care what the plebians say, the new duel system looks classy as anything to me. Do you see!?
Yet again, the enemy AI is mentioned, and yet more promises of improvements are heard. The idea of the enemy recognizing and acting upon your tactics after prolonged use certainly promises a far more thoughtful experience than previous efforts, but we'll have to see if it's a genuine feature or a shallow gimmick that only works cosmetically. Still, attack boats for the win!
Hit the jump for the other two videos. Do you SEE!?

I <3 me some Dynasty Warriors. Xhou Dun ftw!
Also, this game is looking damned good.
Now I need to change my pants.
So now it really IS a button mashing game.
Haw, I'm jes messin'. While I'd never idolize DW and Koei to the point of Sterling's obsession, I will admit the game is damn fun to play. Sure, the battle system is shallow and the story has remained the same for years, but as long as you're having fun, who cares?
YOU CAN CLIMB LADDERS AND SMASH GATES!!! This is truly the age of Next Gen gameplay
I really wish they would start releasing their other damn series over here for a change. How long must I wait for the other Uncharted Waters Koei?! How long!
Oh and Guan Yu is god. (He really is)
Btw, unlimited combos for the epic win.
I like how he slowed down when he was mentioning ladders.
And smashing the gate showing no damage.
But, I'm still playing this.
This is an epic find, Mr. Sterling, and I salute you as always for your ceaseless coverage of the ultimate game series. Top drawer, sir. Top drawer.
This game still looks awesome though.
Why haven't you ever said anything about Orochi Warriors Jim?
And no more enemy Gate Captains, yay! OMG LADDERS!!!!!!
Wait, what? A game came out in 1981 that featured a plumber who climbed ladders in order to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend from a gorilla? Oh...
jk, this looks pretty cool. Too bad I don't have a 360 or PS3, and I probably won't until they're Wii priced... so, around the time Dynasty Warriors XIII comes out. ;)
