Sell outs, this game looks horrible!

NiiiiceThis is the St. Anger of Zelda games
The base franchise? No I would argue it doesn't.
However it blends really well and you can see that the base combat of Muso really doesn't actually turn people off with titles like Gundam Muso and One Piece Muso.
HAHHAHAAHAH...No.
Devil May Cry's Combat is the center of the game and is just as deep as any fighting game.
Dynasty Warriors/Muso's combat is much more shallow and it's equal part crowd control and looking cool with as little work as possible. not that it can't be fun, it can. However it is not even in the same universe as a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. Hell its even more shallow then a God of War or Lord of Shadows.

Is it some sort of compression or are those graphics really going to be that abysmal? Looks like a 1999 game.
It may be 'shallow,' but the appeal is how pure, simple, and satisfying it is.
I want to play as THE DORF!
The strangest games are apparently system sellers
These games are known for lots of characters on screen. Might be a result of that.

I've never given less shits about a new Zelda game announcement...ever
It's print screens from the trailer video.
This probably won't end up being a looker due to all the enemies etc that will end up on screen but it in no way would look like something from 1990/early 00s.
How much depth is there generally in DW? Is it all just beatem up action? How do environments work, are they like levels?
Agreed, and I said as much in that post.It may be 'shallow,' but the appeal is how pure, simple, and satisfying it is.
I love DMC and deep action games, but I also love some musou. It's just visceral and
responsive and I love racking up giant K.O. counts.

What? LOL! Why?
You had one one job Ninty, one job! -
Ah well, I love Zelda, and love Samurai Warriors. If you can play as someone other than Link, I'll pick it up. It'd be cool if it followed an original story with original characters.
Yep. It certainly sold me on it. Ordered it an hour ago. I just joined WiiUGAF!
I don't really understand all the hate in this thread. It's like nobody's ever seen a trailer for a game that doesn't interest them before. So many cries of "this shouldn't exist" and the like... If you don't like it, then don't play it. After the initial disappointing realization that the game does nothing for you, then one should cease following the game (that's typically what I do). Simple as that. This game's existence doesn't take away ANY of Nintendo's resources from the mainline Wii U Zelda title, and exists to please fans of the Musou genre. So why the hate? Just accept that not every game is made with you in mind, rather than sharpening your pitchforks or bemoaning that the Wii U is getting a new exclusive game next year. Isn't library diversity a good thing? Why would catering to a wider audience through a spinoff title that in no way damages the development of the main franchise be a bad thing, ever? This is a baffling reaction from a fanbase for a console that's going to mostly rely on having a diverse stable of exclusive software to survive.
"Third party support on the Wii U is shit," "third parties have abandoned the Wii U," "third parties put no effort into Wii U games!"
"Introducing.... Hyrule Warriors! A third party exclusive for the Wii U, coming in 2014!"
"Fuck this game. They should burn in a fire. Why would they create this?"
The amount of vitriol in this thread is absolutely stunning. I knew that the Musou games aren't terribly popular around here, but to inspire hatred of this magnitude? I've only ever seen this sort of ivory-tower posting in Call of Duty threads. You'd think Omega bought Zelda off of Nintendo, Activision-Crash-Bandicoot style.
Lastly, the whole "tarnishing of the brand" posts hold no weight after the CDi and Crossbow escapades. Along with the cartoon. Selective history is the shit!

My reaction. I want a real nextgen zelda.
That is the most badass looking Link ever IMO. Dat scarf.
normal person: oh this game sounds kinda wacky and cool / eh im not really into that sort of game
neogaf: here is a 30 page exegesis about how much i hate this game based on a screenshot i saw. iwata needs to rot in hell
My interest in this game is very mixed.
It looks like it has potential but what will be the deciding factor for me is if there are other playable characters or not. If it is just Link then this game will get a pass from me but if they add a lot of other playable characters then I will be very interested and it would be a first for the Zelda franchise (allowing you to control other characters other than Link w/ the exception of the tingle off-shoots) What other characters do you think they would allow you to control if they do?
- Zelda (stand alone)
- Sheik (stand alone)
- Zelda/Shek combo
- Impa
- Groose
- Ganon
- Skullkid (w/majora's mask)
- Tetra
- wolf link/midna combo
- Pig Ganon with trident
- controlling all four links at one from four swords
- ??????
I wish Tecmo Koei wasn't wasting their time on this garbage franchise and was working on Warriors Orochi 4 instead.
This is a 3DS game, right? That looks rough.

The reaction to to a Metroid Musou probably would have been a million times worse.
Dynasty Warriors has a pretty linear combat system, but it has some depth to be found.
An example of the DW8 movelist.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry, even being a musou player.
Most unexpected announcement of the year?
Judging from the last page of this thread, it seems like my expectations of what I was going to see here were completely off the mark. I thought people would be happy.
Third party exclusive? Check.
Out of left field collaboration? Check.
Zelda fucking Musou? Seriously? Awesome. It looks like a lot of fun.
My reaction. I want a real nextgen zelda.
I'm amazed at how many people are excited for this, yet have never heard of Dynasty Warriors.
Could a mod please put these screens into the OP so people aren't judging the game based on printscreens from a low-res streaming video?

Looking at the unlockable character list on some of those Musou games ... yeah ... I can see a Fire Emblem character being unlocable
SMT x Fire Emblem probably .... since it was the first of the crazy crossovers.
Yoshi Island DLC in Sonic Lost world is a close second because ... did you saw the amount of leaks in Sonic All Star Racing ? =P
