Hyrule Warriors / Zelda Warriors

[SmashFinale]

Holy shit, this game looks unpolished as hell.

[Hakudamashi]

It's a spin-off

Besides, Link looks cool

[Ioshyriku]

Well I think the game is still in development.
In my opinion it looks pretty badass.

[Hakudamashi]

People said they wanted a new Zelda on Wii U, so here ya go.

[jkid101094]

Holy shit, this game looks unpolished as hell.

It's in early development, damnit. It doesn't even have a final name yet. I, for one, am excited as all hell.

[Hakudamashi]

This just might be the 2nd Dynasty Warriors game I'll ever buy.

[jkid101094]

This just might be the 2nd Dynasty Warriors game I'll ever buy.

I want the version of 7 that lets you date Wang Yaunji.

[Hakudamashi]

Never woulda guess this series allowed you to date people...

[jkid101094]

There are three versions of each game apparently with the last one having life simulation elements. I think you manage an army and stuff too but I've never gotten to play it.

Question
Why is this a LoZ spin-off and not a Fire Emblem spin-off?

[shadowDOESrock]

Question
Why is this a LoZ spin-off and not a Fire Emblem spin-off?

Because we're already getting a Fire Emblem spin-off/crossover the same year

[Hakudamashi]

Because we're already getting a Fire Emblem spin-off/crossover the same year

When has that ever stopped anyone?

[jkid101094]

Question
Why is this a LoZ spin-off and not a Fire Emblem spin-off?

Don't worry, I asked the same thing.

[Hakudamashi]

Don't worry, I asked the same thing.

It just seems more fitting in a Fire Emblem setting right? Where you pretty much already have been using one guy to mow down waves of enemies(Chromsooopholyshit), not to mention they could give you different Lords as playable characters.
And with Fire Emblem's seemingly high raise in popularity thx to Awakening, and that Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem coming along, this could've been a could chance to "strike while the iron is hot" as they say.

I was hyped for this at first... but now it kinda seems like a waste...

[jkid101094]

Nah, I'm still pretty hyped. We still do get SMTxFE, after all.

[Hakudamashi]

Well I'm happy you feel that way.

The Game is developed by Team Ninja and Omega Force. Team Ninjas Hayashi [Ninja Gaiden 3, Dead or Alive 5] is heading the project together with Zelda producer Aouma.

The game's storyline revolves around Hyrule once again being besieged by evil forces, with Princess Zelda invariably ending up imprisoned and in need of rescuing. At the center of this trouble is Shia, a witch who was once tasked with maintaining the balance of the Triforce. Although once a good person, Shia came to harbor affections for a hero, which in turn transformed into jealousy towards Zelda for being able to be with him.
Eventually, Shia finds her mind under the control of an evil being thought to have been sealed away, leading her to bring disaster to the kingdom. The hero she fell for is Link, and she now stands in opposition to him with comrades Varuga and Wizuro at her side, setting into motion another conflict with Hyrule at its epicenter.

It is coming out it Japan in August.
The Japanese also get a collectors edition inlcuding that neat blue scarf, a model treasure-box with sound-effects, a tri-force shaped clock, art book and three costume DLCs.

If these are coming out in the west is unclear, as Dynasty Warriors doesnt have any prestige in the west.

Here we have the first screens of the more final Zelda Warriors

The Antagonist, Shia - Who fell in love with Link (lolteamninja)




Impa




Other Villians





And Mr. Handsome






Impa also confirmed playable. They promise many more, some of which you'll never expect.
And gameplay caps

[Hakudamashi]

And here I was thinking Impa was gonna be a ninja or something.

[jkid101094]

In b4 over sexualized Malon.

[shadowDOESrock]

In b4 over sexualized Malon.

We all want that.

[jkid101094]

Where's the like button?

[Hakudamashi]

I can already hear all the bitching of things that don't matter.

[Elija2]

Link looks sexy.

[shadowDOESrock]

Okay, so... This is still called Hyrule Warriors in the west, Zelda Warriors in Japan.
Shia is called Cia in the west because... I dont know.

Some renders

[Elija2]

Link's got a badass scarf.

[Hakudamashi]

Cause name changes are cool?

[Ioshyriku]

This is still called Hyrule Warriors in the west, Zelda Warriors in Japan.

I have to admit, Hyrule Warriors sounds cooler.

Shia is called Cia in the west because... I dont know.

Maybe it has something to do with the pronunciation or something.

[shadowDOESrock]

Maybe it has something to do with the pronunciation or something.

Shia is a mans name in the west, I guess.
After doing a google, it also seems to the "second largest denomination of Islam".

I guess Nintendo doesnt want be bombed.

Seriously though, muslims are really really sensitive about these things.

Remember how Infinity Ward had to take down and re-texture Favela from MW2 because it had islamic text?
Considering the character in question is also the villian... yeahhh...

[jkid101094]

Remember how Matt Stone and Trey Parker got death threats and a murder confession because they showed and joked about Muhammad?

[shadowDOESrock]

Lana Debuttt Gameplayyy


Lana looks fucking fun. She's a brand new character and has a crucial part in the story. She's even on the games' cover. She also goes by "The White Witch"




Also, Japan will get "Twilight Princess Link" or "Twilight Princess Zelda" depending on which Collectors Edition they buy.

Aaand there's this image - not just wether he'll be playable or not. But it's Zant... from Twilight Princess.

[Tanassy]

Lana is a qtpie

10/10 would play as.

[Hakudamashi]

I'd rather she was a Nayru redesign rather than a new character, but whatever.

[SmashFinale]

for the love of all that is good someone fix the title for this topic.

[shadowDOESrock]

lol

[Tanassy]

lol

10/10 splendid contribution to topic, would read aqain.

[shadowDOESrock]

this is the best thing ever

[Hakudamashi]

All that's missing is the kitchen sink.

[Elija2]

I can't believe they've managed to get people hyped for a Musou game.

[Hakudamashi]

It's not just any Musou game, it's Zelda's musou game.

[Elija2]

"It's not just a rail shooter, it's a Zelda rail shooter. Link's Crossbow Training is the best thing ever!"

[Hakudamashi]

Yeah, well, crossbows are dumb.

[shadowDOESrock]

I can't believe they've managed to get people hyped for a Musou game.

Well, it works.
There aren't any dumb samurais or anything.
And these games are fun like, once in a while and it lots of fanservice.

People were excited about the Fist of the north star warriors game as well - until it came out anyway.

I'm pretty sure most getting this would never buy any other Dynasty Warriors game.

[Hakudamashi]

I'm pretty sure most getting this would never buy any other Dynasty Warriors game.

I sure as hell wouldn't.

[jkid101094]

I sure as hell wouldn't.

I don't think Wang buys your lies.

[shadowDOESrock]

Wang

haha, wang.

[Hakudamashi]

I don't think Wang buys your lies.

Of course not, cause I didn't tell one.

haha, wang.

ohgawd.

[jkid101094]

haha, wang.

Like a tree trunk.

[Hakudamashi]

Like a tree trunk.

Um, nothx.

[Elija2]

So this game doesn't have online co-op even though every other Musou game (even the ones on Wii and Wii U) has it. There supposedly is an online mode, but they haven't gone into detail about it.

[Hakudamashi]

They probably mean no online story co-op.

Maybe there's an online mission mode or something.

[Elija2]

There is an online mode, but we don't know what it is. Every Musou game for the past couple of years has had story co-op so it's dumb that this one doesn't.

[Hakudamashi]

No, it's not
Have you tried their online co-op in their previous games? It's terrible, and noone used it anyway, and as far as I know, it's the same guys that's doing this one.

[shadowDOESrock]

Wow, I'm getting too old for this - this video made me feel like I was five.

[Hakudamashi]

You're never too old for fun.

[shadowDOESrock]

You're never too old for fun.

Not the game was the issue, but the extremely condescending explainations

[Elija2]

So turns out there is no online multiplayer at all. There's only a weird online connectivity feature that's sounds like it would be a Streetpass feature in a handheld game.

Interest level is dropping drastically.
Mainly because I'm sure Dynasty Warriors can't stand alone with just its singe player 'Campaign'

[Hakudamashi]

I disagree
Cause the netcode of these games is almost always shit, and noone plays online anyway.

Not true
There were still people playing DW Strikforce on 360 the last time I played, which wasnt too long ago

[Hakudamashi]

And there are still people playing Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike HD Edition, what's your point?

I'll be sure to note this post down.

From Hyrule Warriors artbook:



Stupid sexy Link.

Is that Femlink? Or Zelda?

[Elija2]

Is that Femlink? Or Zelda?

Femlink.

It's just concept art though. Unfortunately.

[SmashFinale]

We don't need more Zelda stuff for Draco and jkid to fap to, thank you very much.

[Elija2]

We don't need more Zelda stuff for Draco and jkid to fap to, thank you very much.

I don't care about the fap material, I just think that a female Link is a pretty cool idea.

[Hakudamashi]

Female Ezio is a cooler idea.

[jkid101094]

Female Link? Uh, yes please.

[shadowDOESrock]

So, is the story good?

'Cause I'm not sure between this and Samurai Warriors 4, though Samurai Warriors 4 seems to be the better game all around.

[jkid101094]

How about you pass them both up and get Smash Bros. instead?

[shadowDOESrock]

I don't think a Smash Bros. game is a substitute for a Beat em Up or vice versa xD

[jkid101094]

I don't know. With 8-Player Smash you could fight seven characters at once. That's kind of like a beat-em up.

[shadowDOESrock]

I don't know. With 8-Player Smash you could fight seven characters at once. That's kind of like a beat-em up.

I can finally realise my dream of having eight landmasters on screen.

[jkid101094]

Except that only one Smashball can appear at once.

[Hakudamashi]

So, is the story good?

I'd say it is
I'd also say Cia is the best thing ever.
But I also like Yuka and Kotonoha.

[jkid101094]

Keep in mind that he also thinks Nero is better than Altria so his opinions shouldn't be taken seriously.

[Hakudamashi]

He will if he loves me ;~;
