KOEI TECMO Games 在今(17)日举办的「KOEI TECMO 史上最大阵容特别节目 -最新 PlayStation 作品大集合-」直播节目中,正式发表人气三国动作游戏《真‧三国无双》系列最新作《真‧三国无双 8(真・三国无双8)》,将首度导入以单张中国大陆地图来呈现的开放世界设计。
目前官方仅正式发表此一系列最新作正在制作的消息,但包括平台与上市日期等都还未公布,但因为这次的直播节目主题是「最新 PlayStation 作品大集合」,加上发表当下是由索尼互动娱乐日本亚洲(SIEJA)总裁盛田厚以特别来宾的身分共同参与,因此推断应该会有 PS4 版。
此外,官方网站亦公布《真‧三国无双 8》将加入家喻户晓的绿叶武将「周仓」。
更多详情尚待后续公布。
Dynasty Warriors 9 announced
Koei Tecmo and Omega Force announced Dynasty Warriors 9 during its “Greatest Games Lineup in History” broadcast today. Its platform was not announced, but the broadcast was presented by PlayStation and Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia president Atsushi Morita introduced the title, so it’s safe to assume it will be released on PlayStation 4.
Koei Tecmo’s western branches announced the game alongside Japan.
The latest entry in the series, which celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, promises to be a “rebirth” with drastic game system changes and set in an open world. There will be towns in the vast fields that players can freely enter and exit, and the map will have considerable differences in elevation.
A Famitsu interview with Koei Tecmo’s Masaki Furusawa and Akihiro Suzuki reveals that all 83 characters that appeared up until Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires will appear in the game. Zhou Cang will appear as a new playable character, alongside several other new characters, but not too many.
Here are some more details (thanks, Games Talk):
When it came down to the next numbered title, in thinking that it would be pointless to follow the same pattern, they figured that a new Dynasty Warriors would be most interesting if it used an open world.
All of China is reproduced. While the Chinese land is a vast one, there are a lot of mountains, so places where battles can take place are limited. For this reason, they’re creating places like Hulao Pass and Zhongyuan in detail.
Know-how is shared within the company. Because the nature of the open world is different from that of Toukiden 2, that technology cannot be used as it is, but that which can be appropriated will be utilized.
They want to change input methods such as Square button for a standard attack and Triangle button for a charge attack. The concept of “being a match for a thousand” will remain, so something like Musou Ranbu will remain.
They’re aiming to make Zhao Cang a comedic character. His weapon is the “Dai Satsu Katana.” It is large and offers dynamic actions. He is a character that combines both excitement and speed, and promises to be fun to use.
