July 17, 2007 - The hits kept coming at today's PlayStation Premiere press conference in Tokyo. Perhaps the biggest announcement, as far as the Japanese market is concerned, came from Koei president Kenji Matsuhara, who took the stage to announce that Shin Sangoku Musou 5 (aka Dynasty Warriors 6) is in development for the PlayStation 3.

Famitsu.com reports that the game's concept is "Extreme Action, Extreme Battlefield." On top of the usual updates, including all new weapons, Koei is playing around with the formula a bit, adding the ability for players to perform practically unlimited combos. The game will also give players more freedom.

While today's announcement was unexpected, an even bigger surprise is that Koei plans on releasing the game to Japan this fall! A playable version will debut at the Tokyo Game Show in September.

I don't care if it is just the same sh** rehashed I'm still going to buy it.

Did this really come as a surpise to anyone? They are going to keep making these games until the end of time. And of course, Dynasty Warriors 178 will be exactly the same as all the others.

Seriously...why don't they try something NEW for once. The world really doesn't need any more of these games.

Dynasty Warriors Gundam>This.

Koei makes more than just the Dynasty Warriors games. Also if it ain't broke don't fix it, they have never gotten a bad review. Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors are undoubtedly the best hank n' slash games on the consoles.

But why would they allow a long string of completely average reviews suffice? I've never seen any knowledgable reviewer give these games an above-average score.

IGN gave DW5 a 7.7 which is a pretty good rating. Gamespot gave it 7.1.

The best I'd give any DW game is a 7. They are undoubtedly fun games for a few hours, but the formula is outdated. I hope they actually do something new with DW6. But as it currently stands, if you've played one DW game, you've played them all.

Dynasty Warriors is fun. Though, I only own one each generation of consoles. And I am not getting this, cause Dynasty Warriors Gundam is uber awesome.

There has never been one even half-way decent Gundam game, so I'm not holding my breath for this one. It did look interesting, though.
That new Gundam game for PS3 was an atrocity.

I've always liked the Dynasty Warriors series. I'm looking forward to the sixth installment.
