When I heard that a Warriors Orochi game was coming to the PS3, I was quite excited. Finally, a current-gen iteration of the biggest and most interesting Warriors game Koei has ever made. However, the disappointing news is that Warriors Orochi Z is not a brand new Orochi title, it's merely the first Warriors Orochi and its sequel glued together.
One new playable character is confirmed, along with another non-playable one. In addition, you will be able to choose your own characters for the storyline modes and not be limited to a select few generals. There is also the promise of "many more stages."
This will probably sell like crazy in Japan, as all Warriors games do, but I must admit that this saddens me. I want to play an Orochi game that actually takes advantage of the PS3's hardware, not just takes advantage of Japanese consumers.

dont worry jim... I heard they were making Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2...
but then again, we shouldn't complain about more games going to PS3, at least PS3-owners will only have to get 1 game iso 2 :-)
I just couldn't get into it on PS2 though, it was hard to go back after playing WO1 on PC. Even though it wasn't "modernized", just having higher resolution textures, anti-aliasing, and endless draw distances did wonders for the game. So if this looks as good as the PC port of WO1, I really don't mind... that is if I had a PS3 anyways.
I hope I'm wrong. :P
