widget624 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Wow... that was fast... didn't DW7: Xtreme waited like 1 year before announcing? Not if your going by Japanese release dates. Dw7 Release March 11, 2011 Dw7 XL: September 29, 2011 Considering DW8 was released February 28 and XL isn't coming until Nov 28th it's actually a longer period between releases. Probably just seems quick because it took them longer to localize 8 then it did 7. I doubt the west will see XL until mid-next year Other news there is also going to be a Vita release of XL in Japan, with cross-play and cross-save features. No word on a western release of that version.

higround Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Probably just seems quick because it took them longer to localize 8 then it did 7. I doubt the west will see XL until mid-next year Then it had better be on PS4 otherwise I'll be skipping it, can't afford PS3 and PS4 games.

xdrake24 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 This was great news, and after all I'll platinum 8 today! Cheng Gong and Zhu Ran both look pretty cool to use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izorpo Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I saw on Wikipedia in the list of vita games that Japan is getting a PSN only version of Samurai Warriors 2 includes both Empires and Xtreme legends HD Please tell me this will come to the west as well please. I'll be picking up DW8 XL and I'm sure DW8 Empires will come out as well. For all the excitement with the PS4 around the corner, people seem to forget that when the PS3 was released loads of games were still being made for the PS2. The Ps4 isn't even being released in Japan before the west. Can guarantee that loads of these games will still be made on the PS3. Hasn't Sony said numerous times the life of a console is 10 years? The PS2 didn't even stop production until 2012 in Japan. The PSP still gets new releases over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrenchguy Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 This aint going to america for awhile I'm also hoping sw2 and all those HD remakes comes to america too but knowing koei prob not only dw8 xl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travey2face Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 It seems like what I hoped would happen will be happening..the addition of Chen Gong apparently means that Lu Bu will have his own story mode that follows the "historical" route, as well as the hypothetical. There also seems to be more characters not yet announced. My hope is that they do this for every "other" kingdom. Zhang Liang and Bao for the Yellow Turbans. Hua Xiong for Dong Zhuo. Wen Chou and Yan Liang for Yuan Shao. King Mulu for Nanman. I realize that this may be too much to ask for in an extreme legends, but I can hope.

cardiac318 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The NA/EU version of the game probably wont be released until Feb/March of 2014. The announcement mentioned more new characters are to be announced as well. Given that Lu Bu is getting his own storyline I think we'll probably see Gao Shun and/or Lu Lingqi added to XL. They also mentioned improving the weapon tempering system as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widget624 Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Info from the official site - New Hypothetical scenarios (ie What would have happened if Yuan Shao emerged victorious at Guan Du) - Characters will be receiving a second Ex attack - Free Mode will have additional features - Weapon Tempering will be improved to allow players more freedom in constructing weapons - Nightmare Difficulty will be making its return - Challenge Mode will now have an extra course in addition the four from DW8.

I read an article on GamesRadar that listed off 25 announced games that are still coming to the PS3. I mean, I really want to jump to the PS4 with all of these nice games coming, but at the same time, the PS3 is still going to have great games too.

ShadowKarak Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I don't like how they pump out Dynasty Warrior games so fast :/. I find the series alright but having all these Dynasty Warrior games come out just makes me crave for a new Samurai Warriors game. Wish they'd put some of that speed into SW4. I bet around the time we get 8XL, they'll announce Empires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturia Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Kinda figured this would come out but not so soon, they really are milking DW this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akari Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'll still be getting DW8XL, I wonder if it is worth it to try and make some more weapons in preparation. I only have 6 maxed ones, but there's still a couple that I really would like to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowKarak Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'd like to see more Other and Jin characters rather them continuing to pump out a bunch more of the original 3 kingdoms. Those 3 are already bursting with characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
