I've not played a Warriors game in a while, but they always had embarrassingly simplistic combat. It may have improve in probably the five or six years since I played, but then it doesn't look like a series that evolves much.
The Musou games have a small but very hardcore following online. Strangely, most people seem to openly acknowledge their flaws, but still play them anyway. I think they're fun and I do see the appeal, but they get very dull very quickly IMO. I loved the combat in Demon's Souls for instance, where every enemy can be a threat, and the Musou games are the opposite of that where you can kill hundreds or even thousands of enemies in a single battle with two or three different moves and an ultra attack.
Agreed. I actually think this would have been a good opportunity to introduce a new character in a new IP. Crowbarring this into Zelda feels like it's diluting the brand.

Be careful what you wish for, people.

I had no idea I wanted this, but the concept is so baffling that now I totally do.

That's much too ambitious for Nintendo.

Game will be nuts if they go crazy with the franchise's stable of bosses.
We've had Pokemon already.
Apparently you don't know about the Dynasty Warriors games. Their battle systems are anything but complex... Hell, Zelda Wind Waker has a more complex battle system than any Warriors game....
They are pretty much mindless button mashers, and it is obvious from the trailer this game won't be any different.

This looks really dumb. And that music, jesus christ.
like no this isn't a shark jumping franchise defining moment but it's pretty dumb.

Judging a book by it's cover? That's real mature.
Anyways, can't wait to find out who the playable characters are. Hopefully there's a ton of 'em, like other Musou games.
I'm not sure if it's because we're both Vita fans, but god do I agree with you here!
I played through ALBW recently and enjoyed, but one thing that irked me is how the combat in the series has been simply stale. It's functional, don't get me wrong, but it's very very simple and even though you have an enormous number of items, sword and shield take care of mainly everything. Everything else feels like they exist solely for the puzzles.
So, seeing this and how the bombs and ESPECIALLY the Fire Rod was used, I'm pretty psyched. It's not going to have dungeon/puzzle gameplay, most likely, but the combat looks really fun. Getting new uses for Link's iconic items seems like it'll be a blast just by itself. Now if only they could go the extra way and actually make some sort of mini-dungeons maps with 'puzzles' that could work with the fast-paced gameplay... oh boy. Anyhow, very interesting.
as a Huge fan of the Musou series im fucking excited
People like to shit on these games, but I doubt all of them played Dynasty Warriors 2, and then 3 and dropped the series after. 7, 8, Orochi, and Gundam are all pretty damn good games.
Sure, this might not look the best, but the particle effects in this game will be baller, also, the animations for attacks will always be baller
we just gotta hope that this game doesn't have just Link in it, because these games are all about fan service.

If all different versions of Link are playable and they are all visually extremely different I'm down.

Oni Link 666

I want Oni Link in this.
Two of my favorite franchises together in one game. Seriously, what's with the instant diss here? I like what I see, Link mowing down hundreds of grunts. The latest Musou games have been very good, aside of the Fist of the North Stars ones.
I'm excited for Musou game with Nintendo touches.

I had no idea I wanted this, but now I know I do. I hope Tecmo doesn't fuck it up.
To the people saying that Link's Crossbow whatever is as bad, did you hear that horrific remix in the trailer? Arent you guys even aware that they gave the franchise to Omega Force? This isnt Flagship, this is the most insipid team on the industry. A studio like Next Level Games working on something like this would have been interesting and still arise some concerns, but they just straight up gave it to a studio that even Team Ninja Dog probably makes fun of.
Considering how fast those games are crapped I wouldnt be surprised if it ends up looking very close to this,

I don't see what people see in Musou.
Played the latest installment recently after not playing the series since the PS2 years, and it's pretty much the same.
It's hard to feel anything that's not apathy on this personally, this is obviously a stopgap spin-off to fight the droughts.

Reading through this thread is amusing. Such a wide range of reactions.
Heh. I am looking forward to the next few Jimquisitions.

Looks promising but really, really early in development.
This is a Musou game so that likely means multiple characters unless it's just Link with all of his weapons as shown in the trailer. Putting my money on the following.
Adult Link, Zelda (not Shiek but ala Twilight Princess), a Goron, a Hyrule Guard, Impa.
I don't see Gandandorf being a playable character but instead an enemy. It makes no sense for him to fight on the side of Hyrule. I don't see Toon Link either due to the style of the game.

Has anyone played Musuo games here? They are shallow fighting games to say the least. I do not see why this series has such a large following.

Eh?
If you've played one Musou game, you've got pretty good grounds to judge another, regardless of the skin.
