Ah, thank you. Really weird since I downloaded it already...

Are you sure you didn't just download the initial 4 gigs or so? You can start playing after that but only the tutorial I think.

So, it looks like my DLC weapons and animals don't get brought over to the Vita version.
I wonder if it has been completely removed if I go back to the PS3 version. :|

I am getting the same thing when I broadcast, and other Twitch channels that I pulled up for the game are exhibiting the same lack of sound.

Why are the Japanese voices not part of the PS4 release and not even available as DLC (The PS4 store is blank for addons)?

There are no checkpoints in DW games. There's usually an option to save your progress in the pause/map menu though. So you can save before you're about to do difficult things.

Well they aren't at least for now, they're planning on releasing Japanese voices later as free DLC according to the TK NA. There isn't a release date yet though. They did this with DW7 and DW8 Vanilla as well where they released them a month or so after release. Licensing issues most likely is the cause.

Same thing happened with BF4. They'll need to patch it.
Well f my l.

Right?
I'm hoping that the 1.7 PS4 update that prioritizes additions to the Share features will address issues like this one.
Any idea when that patch hits? That's the one where it drops the hdmi copy stuff. That will be even better.

Wow, just heard Zhang Liao's new voice. D:
Kinda weird how they revoiced all of his lines instead of the new ones. Kinda jarring to say the least.
I think Feep sounds fabulous though. ~_~

Yeah, it kind of caught me off guard even if I didn't notice it at first. I was questioning myself, "wait, that doesn't sound like the old voice... is it?"
Gonna miss Roger Craig Smith.
That's been really annoying. Back in Warriors Orochi 1 and 2, you kept the progression gained in a stage, even if something causes you to fail it. It was a lot less frustrating when Zhuga Booga across the map suddenly needed help, and then dies before you're halfway there, failing the stage.
Don't know why they decided to go back on that.
It's great if your into musou games. The game looks like what it should have last gen! Haha

PS4 version is fantastic. Aside from the slightly weird DOF effect (that the Japanese version apparently can turn off in-game, but we can't yet?), it runs very smoothly at 30fps. There's no enemy pop-in, no frame-rate drops that I've experienced yet, and everything just looks very bloom-y shiny and next-gen (for a DW game). I think it's the best version of DW8 hands down.
The Vita version....doesn't fare so well. It isn't bad like some of the buggy, shoddy awful ports other games have seen, but it certainly runs sub 30fps at all times. It feels to me like 20-25fps, and drops to ~15fps are not uncommon. It is neat to finally have a full handheld version of a core DW game instead of a spin-off, but I wouldn't recommend this version over the other two unless it's your only option and you know what kind of technical performance you're in for.
As for what's changed since DW4, I can't say b/c I didn't play DW4. However, I played DW2 and then none until DW7 and the differences were astounding to me, especially having listened to the games press and players complain "it never changes!". Multiple weapons, unique moves per character, a ridiculous number of characters, a story mode that made sense now that it follows houses instead of specific characters. And then DW8 came out, I picked it up and it added more stuff like the weapon triangle (though I hear it existed in some other versions), horse auto-mounting, and ensured no characters had duplicate move-sets of others anymore.
What do you mean by character action games? Like God of War and Bayonetta? Or more like Uncharted and Tomb Raider? Dynasty Warriors is not like any of those games. It's sort of hard to describe, but imagine you're watching a show that's about a handful of incredibly badass dudes and ladies who can plow through ordinary people like Sauron through elves and men.
Most reviews and detractors will say "it's just about mashing X and killing thousands of dudes that pose no threat to you!" Well, they're at least partially wrong. The hordes of regular enemies are just cannon fodder and are largely ignorable on normal difficulties. You use them to build combo score, farm for items and health, fill your super meters, and then unleash everything you've got against enemy generals. I find it incredibly satisfying.
Wrap it all up with a gigantic cast of colorful characters, a story based loosely on Romance of the Three Kingdoms that spans decades (though it is somewhat harder to understand here than it was in DW7 at least in my opinion), and enough collectibles and unlockables to keep completionists busy for weeks.

Amazon doesn't have it for PS4/Vita for some reason, but Gamestop and Best Buy do. I think it'll be pretty easy to get a hold of for a while.
If you missed DW7 and DW8, you owe it to yourself to play this one on PS4 at some point.

You do a great job. I was just saying to myself a little while ago how hilarious (in a good way) Chen Gong sounds.

This. She is PS4, I am PS3.
Honestly, I owe a lot to the director. Normally directors can be a bit reticent of that kind of performance, but he was just laughing and saying, "More, more."
It was a ton of fun = D

How is the vita version? How does the ps4 frame rate hold up on levels like chi bi?
I haven't tried Chi Bi yet, but the PS4 version doesn't always maintain 60 FPS. Luckily it makes up for its wonky framerate by having an impressive enemy count.

The DOF is... Weird. Aside from that god I love the PS4 version. I hope that we get an option to turn it off and dual audio in a patch later on (apparently in the JPN 1.01 patch you can turn DOF off?).
Also I somehow got to a point, where there were quite literally hundreds of guys on screen at once with no pop-in and the frame rate just fucking tanked super hard, understandably so of course. Framerate isn't a stable 60FPS, but shit there's A LOT going on on screen sometimes.
Aside from that, I'm really glad they seemed to have gone all out on the PS4 version. It's REALLY good. I'm really excited to see what they can do with a DW or SW game made from the ground up with a new... Well, everything, and optimized specifically for the PS4.

Does anyone know how to raise someone's leadership in Ambition? Is that related to how many bodyguard points you get?

Quick question, do the npc officers in story mode use the weapons you pick out for them same for skills? Or do they always use the default weapons? Only reason im asking is cause it takes me a while to go through all the officers weapons so i can pick/ buy the best ones for them before every battle.
Also this caught me off gaurd but gave me a good laugh.

This.
I'm actually wondering if I should unlock all the allies before starting the 2nd part of ambition mode. Any thoughts?
Also, I've not played R&C Full Frontal Assault on the Vita, but this runs worse than DW:Next for sure.
Hi, first time Warrior here, checking in, can't wait to dive in later. Sounds like this can be played online coop with no level unlocking? If so that could help me convince some new warriors to join up. I hope it's newcomer friendly, as the amount of content seems intimidating.

The best way to describe this game to someone who has never played the series before...as jim sterling put it "The 3d Evolution of the old 2D side scroller beat'em ups like streets of rage/golden axe" since those games were classics and all you did was "mash buttons " then you play ultimate difficulty/inferno/(whatever its called nowadays) and learn that mashing square will get you killed almost instantly(due to ARROWS) but yeah i'll probably get this game on the ps3 as i have the dw8 disk(since i cant find a good way of selling it and psn still has the absurd price of $59.99 for it)

Button mashing still works.

hows the ps4 version? hopefully by now they figured out how to get a musou game at 60fps with good draw distance?
how's 30fps with single digit dips and massive DOF blur sound?
Jim Sterling's review makes it sound like Diablo 3, almost a loot driven brawler.
This is why I love Jim Sterling's Warriors reviews.
Yeah after a GAF'er streamed it last night on the other page, I decided to skip this jankfest. Maybe when it's $10. Looks like a PS2 game.

Is there any sort of reverse importing? Like if I want to go back to DW8 vanilla after putting time into Complete on the Vita
Sigh, the Chinese version still has Jap voices.
Also, based on what I heard from Diablo 3's chinese dub, it would go into B-movie territory for me.

The game looks so different without all the popout
anyone else having connection issues? I've been playing ambition mode with a friend and every 3 or so matches we would disconnect

Haven't tried Chibi yet, but the Vita version is pretty nice. It's a little more clunky than Next's in terms of how it looks but I'm getting used to it.
Haven't tried fire yet cause I'm totally not worried my Vita will catch on fire.
Default weapons, no skills. Like all NPCs, their strength depends on the morale bar and I guess plot reasons too.

So, supposedly you can do online coop ps4 ver w/ vanilla ps3 version. How does this work? Are you limited to weapons, moves and characters that were only in 8?
