    Some gameplay mixed in with cinematics.  It's looking pretty good and I can't wait to play it.  The Samurai Warriors titles are my favorites of the Warriors series.

    It looks good in motion. CAPCOM will also have their knock off game on display at TGS, I wonder if the Wii version (that one will also be on the PS3, they said people would be impressed with their Wii effort too -- I believe it after MH3 and RE:DSC) will look better than this though.

    Man! I really enjoy Samurai Warriors/ Dynasty Warriors/ Warriors Orochi. But seriously... Its the same.. Again.. for the 30th time!
     
    It doesn't even look slighty different from previous games.. I wish they would make a great looking deeper game.. So much wasted potential =/

    Keep crying. :P  The PS3 and 360 have plenty of Warriors love.

    I've always found it kind of funny that Capcom made Sengoku Basara to compete directly with the Warriors games, yet they take the historical aspect out of the western versions completely with that silly Devil Kings nonsense.

    The game supposedly includes a mode that is named for and inspired by an old Nintendo Famicom title.  Miyamoto and Iwata also showed up at a Koei event where the mode was discussed.

    Well, yes, they were, but I meant that the mode was inspired by a Nintendo-made game.  Not a Koei title.
     
    And Koei has been around for over three decades.  The earliest console game of theirs that I can recall was the NES version of Nobunaga's Ambition.

    @Al3xand3r: The new characters in that video look awesome.  The whip-sword especially should be a fun weapon to use on crowds.

    They still need to make one of these games set during the American Revolution, like Koei's own Liberty or Death. The newly announced Troy Musou game is a start, but I want to be able to have Ben Franklin mow down a bunch of hapless Brits with an electric kite.

    @Eirikr: A Troy Musou game?  Cool.
     
    Also, I fear John Hancock's quill-bearing might.

    Mitsuhide saying "The enemy is at Honnoji!" is always chilling. Sanada Yukimura looks great as always (my personal favorite, along with Azai Nagamasa and Nene).

    Although, I think they really messed up on Hattori Hanzo's design.

    @PureRok: Nene is one of my favorites as well.  I think I poured more hours into Samurai Warriors 2 using her and Ginchiyo than any of the other characters.
     
    But, yeah.  What the heck happened to Hanzo?  O_o

    More gameplay.

     
    Noob player though, at least at the start.

    Also they announced a micro-transaction based online Dynasty Warriors for PS3 and PC.

    Nice.  Even in that sort bit I noticed changes that help distinguish it from Samurai Warriors 2.  And yeah, the new PS3/PC game is a new version/sequel to Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, a PSP game that sort of crosses Dynasty Warriors 6 with Monster Hunter.

    I played the demo of that PSP game and hated it. Stupid jumpy tigers. And I liked the MHFU demo so it wasn't that.

    I didn't mind it so much.  It was a nice change of pace, though it's definitely designed more for multiplayer.

    Right. Because its less silly to give magic powers to actual historical figures. The Devil Kings rebranding was the smartest thing they could do for the western audience.  
    As for this, wake me when the Empire expansion comes out.

    It was so smart, why does it seem that Capcom is putting the historical aspect back into the release of the next Sengoku Basara?  And given the success of the Warriors series, I'd hardly say that giving actual historical figures magical powers is a recipe for hurting game sales.

    They don't really play that much like the Warriors games, and it was smart of them to distance themselves away from Samurai Warriors with a name that reminds people of Devil May Cry. These games don't sell in the west because of their historical precedence. In fact, I'm baffled that DK is on its third game. I never hear people talk about the franchise.
