Awesome! Online Co-op FTW!

I haven't seen anyone from the Oda clan yet, did they get omitted?

distantmantra · Feb 25, 2010

Awesome. Still need a release date.

drkOne · Feb 25, 2010

So awesome. Thank god Capcom is localizing it.

Tailzo · Feb 25, 2010

Everytime I see it, it looks good. I've never played any of the previous games, so I can't say I know anything about the game itself though.

I think so far the only other characters that are confirmed are: Sanada Yukimura, Sarutobi Sasuke, Honda Tadakatsu, Chousokabe Motochika, Mouri Motonari

And yes I am also very happy that Capcom is bringing this over.

robotzombie · Feb 25, 2010

^yes that is true, it sucks, but there are promises of "tons of new characters" and those listed characters are going to make a return eventually (which most likely means SB3:Heroes

Thank you TC for finally making a SB topic. My favorite series and we really just don't see enough of it on this site.

Now if only I could figure out how to make a cool Motochika avatar...

This is for Wii and PS3, correct? Are we getting both versions localized?

Yes, both versions are getting localized alongside the anime.

What is the point of cutting all those characters?

Wasn't the Oda clan destroyed in SB2?

The Take Out Bandit · Feb 25, 2010

Eh, kind of put off by the silly ass juggling in the game play. Where your weapon arc is clearly concentrated in one area, but in Capcom gimmee fashion two or three other guys pop up in the air to get juggled too.

It's really obvious with the wanna-be Dio guy.

If anything it reminds me of the screwball Versus fighters from Capcom.

InfiniteNine · Feb 25, 2010

Didn't know this was getting localized! From the trailers I see I will be getting Day 1!

Urban Scholar · Feb 25, 2010

Hmm, I don't believe I'm familiar with this flavor of musou action.

Xater said:
Mitsunari Ishida: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjeTv-C1hWc

Tokugawa Ieyasu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHUHh-_4Ht0

And....I do believe I want to play with these alone especially the brawler character. Impressive and fun looking. No solid date for release yet?

I think Q2 (for Japan) is as solid as it gets right now.

dragonflys545 · Feb 25, 2010

One of my most anticipated game of the year!!!!!!!

TreIII · Feb 25, 2010

Def looking forward to this, even though pretty much ALL of my favorites are cut.

Ah well...

Damn... I hope they add more new characters.

Sad_Panda · Feb 25, 2010

So basically, almost half of the roster from SB2 Heroes is getting the shaft ? Wow, totally sucks if true. Especially since this reeks of DLC bullshit.
Still a Day 1 purchase, tho, Hopefully this time, it'll sell decently in the West.

Seraphis Cain · Feb 25, 2010

Yeah, Capcom's going heavily time-period based with SB3. The reason there's no Oda clan is because they were all already killed by the time SB3 takes place. So I can understand that.

What I CAN'T understand is making Sasuke, Kenshin, Kasuga, and Kojiro NPC's. There go all my main characters.

Oh well. At least a lot of the new characters look awesome. Female Magoichi Saika? YES PLEASE.

Lostconfused · Feb 25, 2010

Wait so there is going to be a north american release? None of that Devil Kings bullshit? Have my dreams come true?

then why is Mouri Motonari there?

Didn't he died before Sekigahara periord?

Vicetrailia · Feb 25, 2010

I liked the anime but I never played one of the games, it looks fun. Miss Gunkata, the Ippo boxer and Date look great.

What's the story with Date's voice though, maybe I am mistaken but it seems different from the anime.

Lostconfused · Feb 25, 2010

All of them sound pretty much the same to me as they did in the anime.

Edit: Maybe you are right, its a bit deeper.

Shadow780 said:

I believe it is less of a case of following history to the T, and more of the fact that there is no real way to implement Nobunaga's crew into Sekigahara without completely obliterating any aspects of historical accuracy. To make the storyline work, those guys pretty much need to have been killed in order to set up Ieyasu and Mitsunari as the main characters.

Motonari, on the other hand, is very popular and his existance wouldn't interfere with the Sekigahara storyline, thus its quite reasonable that he was added.

It does suck about characters being NPCified, but remember, we are promised "a lot of new characters" as well as "the most characters in a Basara game" and the promise of cut faves returning in the future (most likely DLC or Expansion pack) I would complain about shitty DLC "milking", but Sengoku Basara 2: Heroes proved that they really can make added material very much worth the price of admission, so we shouldn't damn them yet.

though I have to wonder why they cut all of those characters...
they were great characters (design-wise) and leaving them out doesn't make much sense

Is that the Wii footage or the PS3?

It'll look the same. It already looks like a Wii game with some antialaising. Take the PS3 image, add jaggies, remove trophies, and you have the same game.

OH DAMN HE JUST JUGGLED THOSE SIX DUDES 5,000 TIMES! </Average Versus Game Fan>

Also, what's with the bitching about Devil Kings? Did they alter the game play, or just the title? :|

Drat, beat me to it.

I'm hoping this will fill the small void that has been growing within me that the Dynasty Warriors series has been failing to completely fill lately...

I think most of the name changes/piss poor attempts to cover any and all evidence that the game was based in the Sengoku era. I actually liked the game, despite the ridiculous names given to characters. :lol

MidnightScott · Feb 26, 2010

I'm interested. But which version are the majority on GAF are getting? I have a Wii & PS3 so I don't know which one.

I've also never played any of these games before so.

If it helps? A pal of mine on another board went to that Capcom sponsored event at World Hobby Fair a few months ago. He said that the two versions were practically identical, plus or minus the fact that the PS3 version had more draw distance and rendered more dudes on screen.

So, tech-wise, it seems to be even handed. Now, if they intend to live up to that online co-op thing they talked about with the initial press release will be another altogether.

Myself? I plan to be importing the JP PS3 version. Been playing these games long enough in Japanese that it makes no real difference to me, at this point. :lol

Akainu · Feb 26, 2010

Is that gun thing wrapped around that women's leg? How does it spin like that?

It's Sengoku Basara. Even though this installment is going to be less over-the-top, some things still probably won't make much sense. :lol

robotzombie · Feb 26, 2010

Maybe it is two layers? A strap underneath that attaches to an outer ring in a way that allows it to spin? Does it matter if it looks cool?

To those complaining about the graphics and think they would be even remotely even, check out the actual videos on the official website as opposed to youtube.

The official site also has the other announced characters/NPCs/screens/vids

I know I'm going to get the PS3 version but I am not sure if I should import. I think it will depend on how soon Capcom will be done with the localization. :lol

Augemitbutter · Feb 26, 2010

i hope this will get released in the west asap, i'm drooling all over the PS3 version!

sprsk · Feb 26, 2010

mmmmmmm yes, come to me.

Glad they are flushing out a lot of the old characters.

TheFLYINGManga_Ka · Feb 26, 2010

I never got into Devil Kings, but I do enjoy the spin-off 2D fighter Arc System Works and Capcom made, although I wish they made a sequel with more playable characters.

AdawgDaFAB · Feb 27, 2010

Horray for some BASARA love. Been following this game hardcore on the KoeiWarriors BASARA 3 thread since it was first announced, and I can't freakin' wait for it. I even have friends who I got into BASARA w/ the Wii Doublepack of 2/2H that are buying PS3s just for the online co-op. Summer can't get here soon enough ^__^. I also like the fact that they are using the new Sengoku BASARA 3 Roar of Dragon manga to act as a prequel setting up to SB3's story.

IDK if he has an account here, but Nine Demons Yoshitaka has translated most, if not all, of the character voice updates on the site, famitsu scan info, and trailers like this one. This is his translation of the newest trailer:

Nine Demons Yoshitaka said:
"The Oda are no more...the Toyotomi, conquerors of the country, crumbled too. The times are about to change greatly...

It's the beginning of a conflict dividing the country between east and west.

Keiji: In the immensity of this snowy landscape, the flower of love melts the coldest snow...
Maeda Keiji joins the fray!! If you fall in love with a woman, protect her with your life!!

Maggie: Protect...? Just look at those eyes. Do they really look like eyes of someone who fell in love?

Maggie: My name is Saika Magoichi. The proud Saika faction...that's us.

Motochika: Ya know it, dontcha? That Shikoku was attacked and conquered by Ieyasu! I must avenge my comrades...He will pay for this. He broke the promise we made...he can't be called human anymore!

Motonari: If...that was me...First I would restore my deteriorated provinces' strength...and then would probably join forces with the Ishida army...

Yoshitsugu: It does not fall yet...these stars are still not enough...What I wish for is the descent from the heavens of brightly shining death!

Kenshin: You were at his side more than anyone else...what did you see of that man?

Yukimura: I did not...see anything!

Kenshin: What have you learned?

Yukimura: I did not...learn anything!

Kenshin: Thus...what have you been doing until now?

Sasuke: Watch well, commander Sanada! This is your command baton! Do you get it, commander? The strength that man possesses...strength that lets him support a province without being crushed by its weight, and continue to ride on...

Sasuke: Search for the right decision...and then make it yourself. Because you are now...the commander.

Yukimura: Kh....kkh....damnittt!!

Kojuro: Stop, lord Masamune.

Masamune: Let go, Kojuro.

Kojuro: That cannot do. The bout has been decided!

Masamune: Not yet...I have to make sure this blade gets to Ishida.

Kojuro: To keep calm especially when you are in a state of fury...did you forget what I have told you?
Would you not regret killing Sanada here?

Masamune: I gave you an order!!!

Mitsunari: You've always been like this...
Hiding your ambition behind the word "dream", you soiled lord Hideyoshi's country!!

Ieyasu: That's no good, Mitsunari! Using hate as strength is no good!
Hate and anger...are both dispelled by even just one bond! That's the strength that will unify the land!

Mitsunari: What the hell have I done to you?? You took away everything from me, and yet preach about bonds??

Ieyasu: That's my decision, Mitsunari! I won't allow Hideyoshi or you to take this country!!

Mitsunari: Unforgivable...unforgivable!! I will never forgive this whole world!!!

Ieyasu: Yes...one of us will lose and then die. I cannot lose, no matter what. No matter what..."
