Dynasty Warriors 7 Looks Slightly Nuts

Gatling guns? Surfing on enemies? Not sure what's going on with Dynasty Warriors, but I think I like it.

I've got to appreciate the enthusiasm with which they advertise the ability to switch between two weapons on the go.

I've played a handful of them on PS2...and they are button mashers to the extreme whether you want to admit it or not 
 
And for the record KH is a masher

@scarycrayons: I have finished one of them on hard...2 or 3, can't remember which...I haven't played since. It's derivative and boring, same reason why I stopped playing Call of Duty with any fever since 4, and I skipped 3...the combos are not special, and the officers were never a huge challenge (except Lu Bu, he was a bitch).

I HAVE been playing a DW game (actually, two), and I also consider the statement wrong: You have to press square AND triangle 800 million times
 
Oh, and I lol'd at "Conquest knows no boundaries". That's... kind of the point, guys.

Switch between two weapons...wow I remember when I saw that amazing feature in a small little game called Halo on the Xbox. Someone please time travel back in time & find whoever keeps pushing the DW series to be made & put them in another department or just make it yet another series only really sold in Japan though I'm starting to wonder if they want this series either.

I wouldn't say that.  Basara may up the crazy scale, but it's stupidly linear.  The maps are nothing more than narrow paths linking small areas to battle in, and from my experience of playing Sengoku Basara:  Samurai Heroes, the battle objectives are static and never change based on the character you use.

Uh, I'm not sure what DW YOU have been playing, but as someone who's played many of them as well as Samurai Warriors, this is entirely accurate.

And besides, he never said you only press square 800 million times.

It looks like they actually went and remade the game this time with a new engine.

Hey, this one looks decent. At the very least, it looks more like 5, and less like 6. Man...what did you people do to 6...

Whoa - Koei doesn't seem very smart ;) This is not Dynasty Warriors' 10th anniversary. Dynasty Warriors 2 came out in 2001, the original game came out in '97 or something. i don't even like the series, but even I know that!

I haven't played a DW game since the second one but it looks like I could jump right into this one without missing a beat. If I hated myself. 
Is this the same engine as Fist of the North Star? Was that one any good?

@vinsanityv22:

The original game on PS1 was a fighting game and under a different name in Japan and is not part of the Japanese series.  The 1st Shin Sangoku Musou(japanese title) game on PS2 came to the US as Dynasty Warriors 2.  Hench the reason it's a 10 year anniversary. (This DW7 is only SSM6 in Japan)


Anyway, I'll wait to see if they've finally added some online coop or something, otherwise I'll wait until the price drops.
