Can't find this game for PS4 on Amazon at all even though it comes out in 2 days, what is going on?

This series has always seemed silly to me so I've never actually given it a chance. One of my buddies swears by it though, so this one has my attention.
Is this not cross-buy, though? $100 to play native versions on both PS4 and Vita seems like way too much. Is there any bundle or other type of discount for getting both versions?

Haven't played a Musou game in nearly 15 years, would the upcoming PS4 release of 8 be a good place to get on the wagon? I'm currently downloading Next on Vita (was free on PS+). Is it considered a good entry in the series?

Personally I really dislike next because of the terrible minigames. They should have let you disable them. Also duels in that game are the worst ever
Next is pretty terrible, the mini games and gimmicks bring the game down.
If you're looking to jump on I'd recommend DW8 on the PS4, or Warriors Orochi 3.
DW Next is a bit gimmicky as it is trying to use as many of the Vita's features as possible. It has some pretty silly (and really boring) minigames that use the touchscreen and the gyroscope and really annoying duels with enemy characters where you have to use the touchscreen. Other than that the gameplay is quite similar to Dynasty Warriors 7. Dynasty Warriors 8 adds some new mechanics to the combat as shown in the OP, and the PS4 version includes the story mode so it would be a good place to get back in to the series.
DW8 is considered the best of the series from the last generation, so it's definitely worth jumping on. DW Next is alright but like others have said, filled with gimmicky stuff.
They can eat up a lot of your time if you plan on doing everything.

You sir, are the very essence of NEOGAF for good or ill. Lol

bad gameplay lol
Man, I want to buy this JUST because it fixes DW8's absolutely horrific weapon upgrading system, which killed a lot of my enjoyment of the game. Like, all the new changes and additions are awesome of course, but I kinda feel like I'd be paying for a patch. :lol

I have a question about the consecutive battles trophies: do I have to play like X battles in a row without turning off my ps3?
Hey guys, so what do we know about the PS4 version?
Since the game is out in Japan, do we know how exactly it runs? Resolution, framerate, etc? I read a couple of impressions in this thread but nothing too conclusive so far.
I can't find a ton of info
Not much needs to be said, really- the frame rate is still all over the place but better than the PS3 version, enemy pop-in is gone so there's huge amounts of characters on-screen, and the game looks good in 1080P but the added blur/fog field of view effect can be annoying, but can be turned down or off entirely.
The game came out in Asian territories last year and is very much a launch game PS3 port-up. Don't expect to be blown away by the visuals but you will definitely appreciate the improvements.
And check Youtube. There's plenty of 1080P game play vids up. Might need to search under the Japanese name "Shin Sangoku Musou 7 With Moushouden.
You can interim save after battle is done.

Thinking of getting this game on ps4 once it hits the psn store but what's up with the big ass map in the UI? Also this thing should be a crossbuy between PS4/Vita, not shelling another 50 bucks to play the same thing on portable especially since we have remote play :/

Is the Vita version comparable to the PS4 version?
I rented DW8 for 360 a while back, and it was the first DW I've ever played. I only played for less than an hour or so. It felt like it was all just slashing away mindlessly at tons of enemies, and nothing more. DW8 CE being on PS4 kinda makes me want to try it again though. Is there more to the game than it looks like at first glance?

PS4 peoples! I'm going to be tearing it up this week if anyone wants a co-op buddy! You can add me: DryvBy.
And my cousin Seaya1. He bought a PS4 specifically to play this in 1080p/60fps.
DW7 was my first game in the series. It's mindless to a point. It's one of those games that needs to be experienced with a friend. You sort of make your own fun with the game. It's very mindless sometimes and not for everyone. I typically don't like these games (I hated 99 Nights or whatever on 360). But DW just has a cool cast. I've played through 7 almost enough to Platinum trophy it. I have a few others and the NEXT version on Vita. They're all the same style of games just with new characters and leveling aspects. It's best played with a friend.

Anyone know if for cross play the other person has to have XL or is just DW8 enough?

You can totally do story mode co-op online and unlock stages as you go in normal DW8.

People around here saying it's 30 fps even on ps4...

whynotboth.gif. It has cross save!
Since people keep on asking, the TL;DR version is:
The Vita version has framerate issues and muffled sound quality. Weakest 'warriors' port on the Vita, but with that said everything is intact.
The PS4 version has a framerate similar to the PS3 version, but with improved visuals and no enemy pop-in. There's a foggy/blurry background effect that most hate. You can turn it off in-game.
If you have to choose between the two, get the game on PS4. You can always do remote play on Vita anyway.
And if any reviewers bash the PS4 version for that background effect, let 'em have it.

Do they share the same trophy set like FFXHD, or are there two separate platinums?
PS3 and Vita share the same list I believe. PS4 is separate.
Also found the Vita version size from the Asian release: it is 3.2GB.
I might go physical... :S

Plus remember when they release the Japanese voices DLC (yes they are doing this again), it'll probably be another GB.

Any impressions on the Vita version?
Haven't played a game since DW4 and would love to see how the series has evolved.

I've never played Dynasty Warriors. I enjoy character action games. I'm currently playing Infamous: Second Son, South Park, Thief and Tomb Raider.
Should I buy DW8 for PS4/Vita? Guide me, DynastyGAF.

I'm desperate to know how the Vita version holds up.
Muso Orochi 2 Ultimate is coming to PS4 this June in Japan: http://remoon.blog15.fc2.com/blog-entry-29934.html
It was released on PS3, and Vita last September. It has yet to be announced for localization.

Well Koei is really going to port this to everywhere.
Wonder what will be so special about this port (if any) and I guess this is the best chance to localize the PS4, Vita and why not PS3 version now.
