The guys behind most of the current Dynasty Warriors games at Koei, who made those ol' Berserk beat'em all games (like Sword of the Berserk: Gut's Rage on the Dreamcast), and the recent beat'em all adaptation of Hokuto No Ken running on the same DW engine (Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage) will adapt yet another manga/anime series into a beat'em all title!
They seem to do these spinoffs running on the same engine from time to time.
Sometimes generic non-Dynasty Warriors games (like Warriors: Legends of Troy, or Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War based on the 100 Years' War), other times anime-based titles.
This time it's One Piece's turn!
One Piece: Pirate Musou is the Japanese title of this game they will make for Namco Bandai this time around.
It looks like mindless fun!
I guess that's one One Piece game I might give a try! (like Dragon Ball, there's been dozen of those...)
Like fans noticed, it seems it will adapt some recent story arcs (as Berserk Millennium Falcon Arc: Chapter of the Holy Demon War did on the PS2), instead of a big recap (like Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage) or an original story (like Sword of the Berserk: Gut's Rage ).
I'm guessing the title will be changed outside Japan, like Hokuto Musou became Ken's Rage.
One Piece: Luffy's Rage anyone? :B
Saint Seiya Senki? It is not beind developed/published by Koei nor developed by the same developers of the above game.
ReplyDeleteboys, boys...
DeleteGames aren't made by the publishers. They're made by the developers!
The guys who made various of these Dynasty Warriors at Koei, who made Berserk at Eidos Interactive, will now be making this One Piece for Namco.
That Saint Seiya game is unrelated, but does seem quite similar in the execution.
There! :P
Oh holy hell it's like a dream come true for me. Dynasty Warriors has always been one of my fave games for killing time and One Piece is my FAVE manga ever : B so putting these two together is AWESOME!
