Now this is one of the "must buy after getting a PS3" games.

But a Dynasty Warrior platform? Really?

Updated. Actually Dynasty Warrior's system of battle fits One Piece perfectly. Not to mention they have really shown their worth after the big surprise Dynasty Warriors 7 was. They actually put in a perfect blend of character quality, quantity, and mayhem.

Those lists were taken originally from Saiyan Island, however I updated them to be much more generous because apparently confirmed for them means straight out of the developers mouth or first person gameplay.

Don't be buthurt about it being for the PS3 as well. If it does well, it will end up like the Storm series for Naruto and they will buy the copyrights for it on Xbox as well.

Also, there is a new One Piece Gold Edition PS3 being released just for the game if you DO wanna buy a PS3 just for this.

I am waiting for the Versus XIII release, actually... Should be exactly when I get some income...

I actually like Dynasty warriors, just never dreamed of seeing OP on a DW platform.

Better quality trailer.

By the way isn't Versus XIII PS3 only? <_< Good luck waiting another 5 years for that.

It's a very possible buy for me. It really depends on what new characters they bring to the series. If it has Shanks has a playable character, I'm buying. Though even without Shanks I'd be content with Whitebeard or Blackbeard.

War of the Best at Marineford would be the ideal arc to make a game like this in. I'm hoping that they at least have the timeskip costumes available for all the characters.

I'm a huge Dynasty Warriors fan and I always viewed the Empires or Xtreme Legends games as optional sequels. They actually do tend to have a LOT added it, way more than that stupid Super MVC3 shit Capcom is serving people. Modes, characters, fully developed stories for those characters, weapons, added cutscenes. Yes we're in a video game era where cutscenes aren't rare, where we see them so often or they just don't exist like Skyrim is pushing for, but Dynasty Warriors still gives me a good feeling when I do get a rare cutscene.

So I guess I'm saying that it's different for every person and their investing privileges.

I will say that the Ps3 Gold Edition makes me excited because they actually have enough faith in themselves to make this.

I think most games that aren't RPGs have pretty much trashed character creation. Hack and Slash and fighting games once tried to do this but there were only so many possibilities they could include. With new generation consoles and software they could include it but it would only take away from time they could be putting into the game itself.

Back to One Piece though, my main wishlist for the game is as followed.
-Shanks, if he's in the game I'd buy it on the spot. Practically nothing is known about his fighting style but his sword and Haki.. but still, it's a hope.
-Dual Style: They use to have dual modes between high ranked officers in the old Dynasty Warriors and I would love to see them implemented for One Piece's epic one on one fights.
-Whitebeard+Blackbeard: You pretty much have to have the other if you're including one of them. I really want Whitebeard more as opposed to Black though.
-Some of Whitebeard's crew: Whitebeard's crew had some of the nicest abilities of the entire series. A few of the more popular ones added in would be great.

Zoro.

Damn I love the DW series,started to loving the game from DW4.Well I didn`t have DW7 since DW6 kind of let me down,they make some changes in DW6 that I'm not really fond with.Tbh I don't really care if they change the look of the characters or shit like that,but what I do care is that they remove the button combo system or whatever you called them and replace them with renbu.

As for the One Piece game,even though I never read or watch One Piece,but the trailer seems cool,this one seems better than that bleach game on PS3 though,not sure if I'm getting it,but who knows right.
