Dynasty Warriors 7 announced as a PS3 exclusive photo

Tecmo Koei has today officially announced Dynasty Warriors 7, the latest in Omega Force's endless hack n' slash series. Curiously, the big news is that Dynasty Warriors 7 (known as Shin Sangokumusou 6 in Japan) won't be a multiplatform release, instead announced as a PS3 exclusive.

Whether it's just a PS3-only game in Japan remains to be seen, though it would be weird for Koei to leave out the Xbox 360 when it launches in the rest of the world. Either way, there will be much more information on the game on October 26, when Tecmo Koei holds a special press event. 

All I have to say is, OH GOD YES! More Dynasty Warriors is fine by me, and screw anyone who thinks otherwise!

OH MY FREAKING GOD, YES!!!!!! I honestly CANNOT wait. I'm in the minority not just for loving Dynasty Warriors, but also for loving Dynasty Warriors 6, so I am eagerly anticipating this. Oh, and insert some joke about semen here.

Never played a Dynasty Warriors game. How does it compare to Super Mario Bros?

I hope this one is vastly better than 6, which was the ultimate downgrade in the series. I've got both consoles to hedge my bets though.

Then screw me Jim. DW has been stale for a decade. Koei's absolute refusal to innovate is almost impressive.

"I hope this one is vastly better than 6, which was the ultimate downgrade in the series."

This. I still thought it was a pretty good game, but the extra-simplified combo system and the amount of cloned characters really let it down.

why the number disparity? we got an extra DW somehow?

Coltronathon5000:

The original Dynasty Warriors was a one-on-one fighting game. Once Dynasty Warriors 2 was released with a hack n' slash format, Koei treated it like the start of a new franchise, which is was. For some reason, Koei's Western counterpart includes the fighting game in the series.

And just like that, the last person who cares about Dynasty Warriors has been told.

The rest of the internet can skip this.

I am definitely going to get this as I didn't get the last one. The odd numbered games are always better than the even ones for some strange reason (or at least in my opinion)

I actually enjoyed that Capcom demo of that Samuari game that plays like a DW game, have NO idea what it was called.

You're probably thinking of one of the Sengoku Basara games, or perhaps even the heavily localized first installment for PS2, Devil Kings.

Agreed.

Hope it stays PS3 exclusive.

Funny how every time something is announced as PS3 exclusive, it's acceptable for all the 360 fanboys and Journos to cry about how it's not on the 360, but if it were the other way around, nobody would bat an eye.

Eat it.

@Romo "Yes nobody likes exclusivity. It would be great if PS3 ganers were to get Halo or Gear of War, but unfortunately that's not how it is and i feel its unfair."

Sound familiar? I really hope Sony transfers you to a new site soon.

I liked DW5 the best, probably. Or maybe 3.

I love DW games but this hurts. This hurts so bad. :(

SW3 is Wii-exclusive, btw, so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if this sticks. But still...

DW 6 had some neat concepts, but it lost a bit from the other series when beloved characters were badly re-built. Hope 7 will be out for the D.S., mind you I'm also awaiting Hokuto no Ken Musou and DW Gundam 3!

Exclusive games aren't 'weird' - they're the most important consideration for a lot of gamers when it comes to deciding which console to buy.

Agreed, when customers ask me which system to buy between PS3 and Xbox 360, if online service or reliability history (read: RROD/YLOD) aren't a concern then I answer "Choose based on which exclusives you or whoever you're buying it for prefer."

Here's a leaked set of character designs:

Lol at the minority of people posting crap about dynasty warriors, simply if you dont like the game then why read a story about it? I wouldn't read a story about a game I didnt like i've better things to do with my time. I'm really pleased they've finally released some more info on Dynasty Warriors 7, my experience is contrary to another person who commented, I find it hard to find people who dont like Dynasty Warriors. It's a really good game and I look forward to the release of DW7. Hopefully they've moved away from DW6 since that was just offensive to long time players such as myself.

God fucking damnit! What the fuck is up with Squeenix shutting down stuff linked to Chrono Trigger? I mean seriously guys, you see all of the fan shit about Chrono Trigger and yet you somehow arent getting the hint that the fans want a fucking Chrono Trigger sequel (Cross wasn't a sequel). This almost pisses me off as much as when the shut down the Chrono Ressurection project.
