Dynasty Warriors 6 Special: Zhang He busts out the claws photo

Make no mistake, I am bloody narked off that Koei decided to fill Dynasty Warriors 6 with cloned characters and is now making a PlayStation 2 version of the game with de-cloned warriors, but I am such a sucker for Zhang He that the return of his claws is enough to squeeze some forgiveness from me.

Below are the current CG renders of "de-cloned" characters with unique weapons that didn't appear in the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version of the game. As well as Zhang He getting his claws back, Cao Pi sports a new sword, Ling Tong's nunchucks have returned, while Ma Chao now has what I like to call "the stupidly big anime sword of bigness." 

Also, to save some time, feel free to copy and paste this pre-written comment as a response to this news piece:

How is this a news post? Dynasty Warriors sucks it is like Madden and I don't care about this post. I don't care so much about this post I am going to make a comment about this post telling you I don't care about this post. Also, it only uses one button.

You can thank me for saving your keyboard from wear-and-tear later. As for the three percent of us who actually care, is any of the DW fanbase interested in this? It's very obvious that Koei knows DW6 was incomplete in its current-gen form and is only finishing it off for the PlayStation 2 version. Not cool at all in my book ... but those claws look so good.

[Thanks, Koei Warriors]

Damnit, I want a new Bladestorm game!

Also, I wonder how much the PS2 version will cost. I'm thinking somewhere around 50 clams.

Lame! This is going to run very poorly on my invisible ps2 and future non-BC ps3 :/

At least we'll have Warriors Orochi 2?

eh, i still think Koei will do what they did with SW 2. Make the new characters either downloadable or wait till DW6: Extreme legends comes out and release the updated characters then.

not going back to the PS2 version of DW/SW series. I'll wait patiently and play SW2/XL.

They better make this DLC for the PS3/360 versions. I love my Dynasty Warriors, but I don't wanna have to play the PS2 version of a game I own on PS3. This is so backwards...
You'd think with hard drives they'd release this as a Xtreme Legends expansion, without stupid disc swapping.

I don't get why Ma Chao gets a big sword, I like him as a spear wielder who kicks ass on a horse. Give the big ass sword to Guan Ping.

also...I fear Ma Chao being the "Fu Xi" of the series now. I also prefer spear ma chao on a horse. Can we please stick to the names/meanings/what they're known for?

Holy jeez.

I jumped on board the DW bandwagon with the 360 version for DW6, and now you're telling me that everything I know is wrong? I have Lu Bu at his level cap for god sakes! I am NOT going back and playing this in blocky low-res on my HDTV... sign me up for the Orochi Warriors 2 beta test, plzthxbye.

I love my big gay Zhang He!

But unless us who bought the fancier version get our characters updated, THIS IS LAME! I mean, how did Zhang He with a spear even get past development?

I always buy the DW series except this last version after the really poor reviews of it.

This really just frustrates me to no end. It just boggles my mind that they would do a better version on an old system. must be two seperate teams doing the version

X only works on the 360 version. X on the Playstation versions is jump.

Wonder if this will actually see a release outside of Japan. They did this with Dynasty Warriors: Gundam and that stayed Japan-only to my knowledge.

I'm pissed at Koei. Why would they downgrade a series that relies on slight improvements with each installment? Shame. 0/10 for Koei.

Yeah, they definitely should release this as DLC for the current-gen HD versions.

Actually my character of choice is Xiahou Dun. I'm a sucker for eyepatches and scimitars.

Zhang He looks so magnificent with his claws back on.

And yes, this better be DLC. I've put too many hours into levelling up my guys in the 360 version to have to start over on the PS2.

I've put my journalism hat on and asked Koei about the possibility of DLC. I will keep people posted.

Jim - thanks for the update. My best friend and I don't get to spend much time together anymore, but DW always makes us happy. This is a great series and you are doing god's work.
