Definitely looks better than Dynasty Warriors, although the AI looks similarly brain dead. Kenshiro also looks a bit slow to me, but maybe that's something you can upgrade.
As long as I can punch someone and say "You're already dead", then walk away and watch as their head explodes seconds later, I'll give this a shot :)

So is this the long overdue sequel to the Fist of the North Star game I played many years ago on the Sega Master System?
I know it was probably inspired by FotNS, but God Hand keeps popping into my head when I watch this.
Hells to the yeah. Looks better than the Japanese arcade version anyway (see Gametrailers for the vid - oooh I just though of a use for Natal ;P)
Anyway like you I'm gonna re-watch too when I get home from work

Oh man I hope you can play as Rei and do some Nanto slicing. More than that I hope this comes to the states. Atatatatatatah!!!!!!!!!!
I normally couldn't car else about whatever Dynasty Warriors XVII that Koei is releasing, but I MUST HAVE THIS.
Eh, looks good. But the enemies just stand stock still as you hit them. Maybe it's a demo, maybe its the first easy level, I guess it's to be expected from Koei, though. It just looks kinda boring from a gameplay perspective, none of the emenies seem to put u[ any resistance or challenge, as awesome as Fist of the North Star is and all.
I hope they get Ken's voice right. Oh and AWESOME body explosions.Can't wait to see some popping heads.
Incredibly fluid character movement, graphics and tone, incredibly lame AI. Then again, it's a Musou game. I want it badly, but I hope it comes with a variety of difficulty levels, and that raising the difficulty doesn't just break the game, as it usually does.
When I come to think about it, wasn't like Kenshiro faced much of trouble with goons anyways.

It wasn't as gory as I'd expected... Hopefully it picks up through the game and lives up to its source.
That said, this better be Mature/18s.

Cool video.
Would I buy this, being a big Hokuto no Ken fan? Maybe yes.
I still see a lot of things that could be improved, because it still looks like previous DW games in a different skin. The enemies do not look like competition with AI to use some degree of intelligence. As well as that, I'd like to see them use some better camera angles, when certain special moves are executed (eg SFIV), because a chase cam perspective all the time, while very DW, is lame by todays standards (correct if wrong). Add some co-op online play and I'd buy it. Maybe I judge it too harshly, as this is only an early video.
I think the Tecmo guys, have a lot to teach the Koei side, about creating good fab looking 3D games, since they've hardly ever deviated from DW games. This is why games like Fatal Enertia failed IMO, and another tale of japanese devs stuck in a rut of game design philosophy, hoarding money and taking few chances. I hope that positive change comes from such experiences.
Overall, I'm glad this game is being made. Strangely, Fist of the North Star has a kind of cult anime classic following, but the awesome manga never found an audience in the west. Lets hope that changes.
Oh yeah, this needs more exploding grey matter, too.

Well, I've never liked Musou games ever, but this looks like a definite try out in my books.
Well, time to listen to Ai Wo Torimodose on repeat for the next hour.

Oh MAN! This makes nothing but sense! AS opposed to Gundam Musou (Which I really like) this license is tailor made for the Musou treatment, and I am definitely jazzed. And those graphics! Wow. This could be a real treat.
"Warriors games aren't exactly known for their graphical brilliance"
Eh, I think DW6 is one of the prettiest games around this gen, especially given how much they have happening on screen at any given time.
Anyway, more Warriors action is always good.

Jim: The old movie sucked! It's all about the manga and TV series!! The story was actually good and had dynamic characters!! And fuckin awesome fighting styles~!
"Gamers can also let loose with Kenshiro's signature move- a ruthless flurry of ferocious punches, triggering the instantaneous breakdown of internal organs, and death."
INSTANTLY SOLD
＂Rising pop star Nana Tanimura, who appeared on stage at the event, is recording the theme song for the game.＂

And if Nana-chan <3 isn't in the English version. HELL WILL BE BROUGHT UPON KOEI.
Can't wait for the game^^

what da hell man, koei games are bland and boring, i just dont understand u people. from past franchise experiences with koei, they can and will destroy all the good in games, no,no,no

That's my worry, dude. While I like the look of Legends of Troy and this Fist game, its still the same bland DW game underneath, that Koei have been selling for years. If you suckers keep buying these games, you are kind of prolonging Koei mediocre output as okay. Its just the same as jrpgs being stuck in a rut.
If this game played like Ninja Gaiden though, with more Tecmo influence and design, then I'd be safe in the knowledge of what I'd be getting. I hope it works out.

The understanding I heard a while back was that the merger was mainly for business reasons, but that design-wise they'd be left alone for the most part, other than the inevitable crossovers. The Ninja Gaiden SIGMA 2 purple smoke in place of blood is "ehhh," but on the other hand if it means exploding bodies in showers of blood in Hokuto no Ken... okay.
The 'Warriors' gameplay is still showing though with some iffy things, like how it seems only certain attacks can trigger such 'fatalities', and that chaining into another attack may cancel the 'blood explosion' fatality. Hopefully it's just from the video being low-res enough that I can't see that he's actually doing different moves.
