I saw a teaser trailer for it, but seeing as it was in Chinese/Japanese, I didn't know what was happening.

Anyone know what might be coming out in this "hopefully better" sequel?

Who knows. Probably the same old same old. But I do look forward to playing it, regardless.

Mind linking that trailer you saw?

It's not very long, but if anyone can translate it, that would be helpful =)

Dynasty Warriors 6:Empires Teaser Trailer

so what is there to translate?....

W00t, new forum!

Probably won't be much new content, but I hope they give everyone their updated movesets from DW6 Special.

From a pic I saw it looked like pressing r1 (I think) and 1 of the 4 shape buttons uses some sort of special attack

Some sort of special attack?
That's probably about issuing orders. I can't remember if it was DW5:Empires or SW2:Empires, but you can generally tell your army to attack or defend or whatever.

I heard that they were going to do something like that slangster. It would add some gameplay to it. If this is just the same as DW5:Empires only different maps and different clothing, then Koei will lose some credit.

'Playstation Official Magazine UK' did a preview in thier latest issue (No. 27):

New for DW6E are strategic character cards that can be played to influence battle, Subordinate, Officer and Lord ranks and surprise attacks.

Doesn't sound like anything particularly exciting does it?

I swear, I won't even so glance in it's direction of Koei is lazy enough not to put in the codes for the movesets that they ALREADY CREATED.

They would need credit to start with. :\

Whatever they earned with the original Kessen - long gone. They would be in the negatives now, if you count negatives. That's why they're merging.

There is some good news. The Return of Meng Huo:

Sorry is people have already seen this and it is old news.

Finally, I thought they wouldn't start to revive characters until Dynasty Warrio 7, I have to admit Meg Huo looks a lot better than in previous outings, his weapon is more suited to him too, but what the hell is he holding in one of those screens? A mushroom?

I hope Zhu Rong comes back as well as Jiang Wei, but they better declone Zhen Ji and some others, and for DW7 give SSX back her chakrams or a better weapon than a bow.

If Jiang Wei at the least does not come back i shall be furious and smite koei with my spam
