http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/p...6492052c19.jpg Samurai Warriors 4 was officially announced will be, to my surprise, a PS3 and PSVita title I was honestly expecting (and kinda hoping for) a PS4 release too. It is slated for a Feburary 2014 release. Sadly no gameplay or anything of the sort yet

I'm guessing this won't be coming stateside like the 3rd game.

[Cyber-Robin]

wasn't the 3rd game released in the west?

On the Wii?

I didn't play it but I'm fairly sure it was on there.

[WolfWood37]

Yep Samurai Warriors 3 was a Wii exclusive.

[Green_vs_Red]

^ Gee no wonder I forgot about that.

The 3rd one was on the Nintendo Wii state side (like robin said) don't worry tho you didn't miss much

In both real life and the novels. (Her historical name was not recorded and not mentioned in the books, popular culture makes it "Lu Lingqi"

Though in real life Diaochan didn't exist. And in the novels he had two wives, Lady Yan (based on his actual wife) and a second, unanmed woman that also didn't exist, and is the fictional daughter of Cao Bao.

[KaizokuJinbei]

yeah like I knew most of DW/SW/Orochi characters were based on real people/mythlogical beings of history but I never looked at their kin (aside form what the games themselves tell you)

We've known that Samurai Warriors 4 (Sengoku Musou 4) was on its way for a while now but the first big news blowout for the game is upon us! There has been a lot of reveals including new and returning characters, gameplay improvements, news on the new modes and other cool info.

Otani Yoshitsugu (the guy wrapped up in white, he's a loyal retainer of Mitsunari) and Sanada Nobuyuki (the guy with the white hair, he's the brother of Yukimura and husband of Inahime) will be making their debuts. Yoshitsugu will be wielding a saihai as his weapon while Nobuyuki will utilise a katana. The five returning characters that were also revealed are Sanada Yukimura, Inahime, Ishida Mitsunari, Kuroda Kanbei and Takenaka Hanbei. You can view all the pictures of the returning cast on our KOEI Warriors Facebook now!

It was revealed that there will be over 50 characters in the game and that includes the return of previously cut characters (Goemon, Kojiro, Musashi) and the additions from Sengkou Musou Chronicles 2nd (Todo Takatora, Yagyu Munenori + Ii Naotora). Expect news on more new characters in future!

There will be two kinds of two new story modes - Regional Chapters that will depict general's activities in a region and Unification Chapter that will go on until a new era begins. More info will be released on these modes in due time. There will also be a Vagrant Mode that will be playable using CAWs where they will gather friends and travel around Japan.

In terms of gameplay additions, it will be possible to enter battle with 2 characters at the same time, and switch between them (seems to be similar to the Samurai Warriors Chronicles mechanism) and there will be two mechanisms. The first is Godspeed Action which will allow you to attack enemies with super speed with combos that can start from not only Square but also Triangle. The second is Musou Gokui which is analogous to Musou Awakening in Dynasty Warriors. When Rengi Gauge is maxed out Musou Gokui will activate, and within the mode it will be possible to launch Musou Ougi Kaiden.

The game is currently set for a Japanese release in the Spring of 2014. No news on a Western release is currently present.

I think everyone can agree this came completely out of left field. But I am still looking forward to this.

(I actually wasn't sure if this should get it's own thread or not so I compremised and put it here)

[Insider2000]

Fire Emblem Warriors next! Please! PLEASE!

[fana]

Great news. I recently became a fan of Musou games. A Musou game by Koei with one of my favorite licence of all time is an exciting news for me.
I wonder what characters will be playable. They usually start with around 20 so I'm guessing that a lot of the past bosses will be playable.

[Cyber-Robin]

Link through the ages. So that Link, OOT Link, Child Link, Toon Link etc.

Throw in Zeldas and Impas in for variety too.

[Robby]

Put it on the 3DS and I'll get it, no question.

Not so much the wiiU.

[Enzeru]

Oh wow, that Zelda musou game looks like so much fun.

Yet another reason to think about buying a WiiU already...
