I did a search (KOEI+Three) and turned up nothing relevant to this specific nugget of info, but we can probably tuck this into the no-shit category anyway.

TOKYO--During E3, Koei showed a trailer for Ni-Oh, one of the first PlayStation 3 games. But it seems that Koei is working on a few more titles for Sony's next-gen console. Ni-Oh's official preproduction Web site contains some nuggets of information dropped by Shibusawa during his speech at E3.

According to Shibusawa, Koei is currently developing two additional games for the PlayStation 3, which will "take full advantage of the machine's high specs." The company hasn't given any clues as to what the two may be.

Developed under the direction of Kou Shibusawa, Ni-Oh will be based on a script by the late legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. The script is also being turned into a feature film that will be released simultaneously with the game in 2006. The game was previously announced under the tentative title "Oni."

For more details on Ni-Oh's E3 presentation and Koei's previous announcement on its movie production, check GameSpot's previous coverage.

So Ni-Oh and two other titles. I assume that's alongside any proposed Dynasty Warrior games, or perhaps one of them is a DW game?

 

[gogogow]

Maybe DW and Kessen?
No plans for 360?

 

[sly]

So they switched Oni's syllables. I just watched the trailer, very good but pre-rendered.

 

[gogogow]

 

[Drek]

Hopefully one of them is a RotK.

 

[sly]

Is that a cap from the trailer? That looks possible on next-gen consoles.........

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

Probably some Mahjongg game and possibly a war game: Nobunaga's Ambition, ROTK, Kessen, DW, or SW.

think again . it wasnt.


this is how the game will play and look when it come out

 

[seismologist]

Ni oh looks interesting. I'd buy that.

 

[Bob White]

I want Destrega 2!!

 

[jett]

$30 million budget? Insane.

edit: dur, just noticed it's 30 million for the entire franchise. I guess it's not that bad.

edit numero dos: Uh wait, Kurosawa's son was involved with the raping of Seven Samurai? I hope this entire project bombs worse than Virtua Quest.

 

[MacGuffin]

Hopefully one of them is a RotK.

Totally, I don't care if it looks like a SNES game like they all have, just give me a new game to play

I would love to see KOEI bring back Aerobiz or Ghengis Khan as well, those games were rad.

:O :O :O You're kidding, right? It looks amazing! If this is coming from Koei I then I can only imagine what developers like PD, Tecmo, Konami and Capcom would do on next-gen consoles.

 

[MoxManiac]

It better be a DW or SW game.

 

[jett]

I thought this game looked like crap compared to the others in the demo reel...

 

[DarienA]

I'd better get a next gen DW with Empires functionality built in dammit....

AND WHERE'S MY DAMN DW5:Empires?!?!??! DW5 has already been announced for the Xbox... that means it's time for the PS2 add-on's to start flowin!

I don't think that's pre-rendered (picture that is, I forgot what the trailer looks like)

 

[SolidSnakex]

I don't think that's pre-rendered (picture that is, I forgot what the trailer looks like)

Well it didn't look nearly as good as Heavenly Sword.

 

[J2 Cool]

Sounds awesome.

The PS2 RTKs do not look like SNES games. I'm kind of hoping they decide to bring another Nobunaga's Ambition over here, myself...

Heavenly sword was amazing
