Playing it right now, played the second one but this seems a bit better and a bit longer. Just doing my own thing in it which is fun cause i hate games where your set in your tracks, so im liking it so far building swords and making money the story means fuck all to me really.
i remember renting the first one a long time ago and i couldnt stop playing so i was pretty excited when i found out about 3. to anybody that has this game is the system with where you can get tons of different endings by the thigns you do is the same?
To all who wonder this game is amazing especially with all the choices(holding swords bacdkwards to spare ppl, bowing in a fight then your opponent becomes your partner ect) also instant kill mode rules you can even unlock futuristic xbox armor 4 the 360
Just as I thought! I was misinformed. The Wikipedia page says the game will come to Europe in the first quarter of 2010.
On a side note, I got the game today, and played it for 3 1/2 hours before going to work. Its a little rough around the edges, but I love it. The variety of weapons is probably the best feature, followed by being able to start a fight in any cutscene.
They improved the map feature too, so now you don't have to guess where the next story cutscene is located.
As far as I know there is no U.K. release planned. Agetec and UFO Interactive are small developers. However, Agetec has released a few European games in the past. Do you have a playstation 3?
Yeah, its for 360 and ps3. Way of Samurai 3 is like an indie film. You can't expect perfection, but it does do things that you don't normally experience.
Heyyy it's coming out this october? Man oh man...I remember playing the 1st one WAYYYYYY back when and the second was pretty cool (Although I SUCKED at the second but rocked at the first). Wonder how i'll fair at the third XD
So I have been following this game for a year now and last year they did cancel plans to release a US version. I am looking on the Aquire website and they have published release of October 2009. I am glad they caved and decided to release this game abroad outside of Japan.
Sure will my friend. As of right now, ps3 is regionless. The only is issue is the translation. If Spike would just give ONE continent an english translation, the entire world would benefit. The same goes for Yakuza 3. As sad as the situation is... I guess I can't complain too much since we can at least import it without having to mod anything.
its out in japan. 31 dec 2008 I belive. As of now threr has not been announced any other releases of this game outside japan. Though I hope they will release an english version.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzan Heat Action, look up that video, this game smashes way of the samurai 3, (dont get me wrong huge fan of the first 2, and anxious for 3rd) but this is in a league of its own
I haven't heard anything new in a LONG time about these games man. One and two were pretty awesome. Can't wait for this one to come out, and if it does I hope it's out for 360 too. Well... let me know if you hear anything else please.
all these people ranting about how its not coming out ... i seen newer info then this and says its jan 29th they are starting to do this with alot of games ...i remember way back in 2005 NO earlier i was looking through some titles and saw WOTS 3 and was like OMFG!!!! but never seen any info for like 3 years untill vary recently and now im fallowing it up once again and watched some battle scenes. it looks awsome so far XD another game i want is Kengo 0
Yeah but how did you get that release date? beacause the Japanese version has been released so what other country`s date could that be,beacause it is not being released to any other country.
1 and 2 were fun but I wished they were on a bigger scope. This one still looks like it will be on a small scale, but I think the combat in the others was fun, and I liked to chose my destiny, something like Fallout...
I don't think bigger scopes would suit these series well. Way of the Samurai tries to make an interesting tale of an otherwise anonymous samurai's life, so getting him involved in the fate of japan or the emperor or something would be way, WAY over the top. =P
I'm kinda tired of games where you are the hero that saves the world. We need more games in which you play a reasonable role as a grunt. =P
Actually I agree with you, but what I meant by bigger scope was basically higher production values, larger cities and more characters, more side stories and things like that, but yeah, dont need to save the world, and please no supernatural crap, thats something I wish they would leave out of Tenchu as well.
Yeah, I see what you're aiming at and I agree. Though I gotta say that when it comes to Tenchu, it isn't really half bad with the supernatural stuff.
I mean, yeah, fireballs and that kind of stuff are uncalled for, but I think some of the unnatural skills add a little of spice to the game. ( And since Ninja lore classically has a lot of illusionism and myth going on, I think adding a bit of Japanese folklore helps make the game just a tad bit more interesting. )
julius lol your respond doesnt even make sense why are u telling me to not underestimate asians and calling me white(im not white u stupid shit) just cuz i said more people ar in U.S then Japan and that New York has 7 million people....
Afraid not, brother =( I emailed them and asked them, but at this point... We'll be lucky if they even make an english version. Spike/Acquire seems to have given up on the US.
well the ps3 has gotten alot cheaper now why not try and get one i have an xbox and a ps3 now imma getin a wii just so i dont have to worry about the exclusive crap anymore
You never no they might do a multiplatform release. Its still in they works so no way to be sure. Look at FF13. But Way Of The Samurai isnt a huge title. So im not sure XBox would pay money to gets rights for it.
i'm also fan of yakuza 1-2. yakuza 3 coming 2009! way of the samurai 2 is good i definetely buy way of the samurai 3! i also like kengo 2 and 3. and also onimusha 5 is coming out soon!!!!!
Not yet. As of right now, Spike seems to be concentrating first on Way of the Samurai PSP. That's going to be released on the 18th. Hopefully afterward, they're going to finalize Way of the Samurai 3's details.
I agree totally. I finally broke down and bought one over the weekend. I think I've managed to forgive Sony for not bringing Shinobido to the US. They've finally done away with game region locks- at least for the moment.
I actually played Shinobido last year, and though I thought it was unique in some ways and had some neat ideas, the combat was made tediously difficult and annoying because of the cumbersome controls. Still, I enjoyed it enough to finish it.
Eagerly anticipating WOTS 3 btw. Loved the second one, and let's hope this 3rd one does not lose the previous' charm and it has some neat new features as well.
Yeah, I agree with you. The controls needed some work. But everything that Spike/Acquire puts out is flawed in some way or another. But their innovative concepts really shine through. Shinobido's cause and effect system will probably have some impact on this game's setup.
of course you can most ps3s come with a built in mod converter but other then that we are not getting them in US no version is being traslated into english all we might get is way of the samurai online for 360
Evryeone,now this is my first step into this game.So,i am quite surprise that this game is set in the period reign of shikage shogunate.If this time is set in nobunaga period,then got something interesting might happen.Yahoo,those who play taiko rishidden might know who is the greatest swordsmen of all Japan,u may know who is 上泉信钢 and 柳生宗严。HAHAHAHA,GOT OPPORTUNITY TO KILL THEM,MUAHAHAHHA.
I think they were saying the Sakurai family has been a daimyo since the Ashikage Shogunate, so probably for a while. I don't know if the actual game takes place then.
i dont think so...miyamoto musashi had 2 swords....wouldent that give him an advantage?...and people say kojiro sasaki was second best...but miyamoto killed him....but im still wondering if Honda Tadakatsu was better than all of them?
Jubei Yagyu's clan were the sword instructors for Ieyasu Tokugawa. While Musashi's combat was definitely effective, he didn't seem to have any sucess in wars like Honda did. Mostly, Musashi won battles by psychological tactics.
well....your right about Musashi winning battles by psychological tactics...there was a master who used the kurarigamaa(sickle and chain) very effectivly ...musashi tricked him into fighting in bamboo forest....the kusarigama is not very effective in close quarters...so musashi won! he toemnted kojiro by being 3 hours late then used the sunlight to his advantage!
did you know Jubei was also a ninja?and really honda was ieyasus main general! and hattori hanzo was ieyasus main ninja leader!
Shishido Baiken- he was unmatched up to that point. Musashi definitely had skill, and he overcame many barriers to become a sort of celebrity. But being the best? Many think he's exaggerated. Despite that, he is my favorite samurai of course.
Yeah, Jubei was an assassin on the side. The leader of the Ura Yagyu, or secret Yagyu. A sort of secret service for the Tokugawa. His family's style was forged in the mountains and was brutally effective. Not a showy display of sword swings like some.
Yeah, its very anti-climactic. The greatest ninja, killed on a burning boat. By some filthy ninja-bandit no less. I probably would have been satisfied if he managed to kill Kotaro in the final moments. But it wasn't meant to be. At least Kotaro was humiliated by the fall of the Hojo clan.
Some of them were. But overall, they just had the objective of getting the job done regardless of the means.
They usually were in the service of some lord, and held fast to being loyal to them. Hanzo, even though he was called Devil Hanzo, couldn't finish off one of Ieyasu's sons when he was given the task.
Kotaro helped the Hojo clan. But he all pillaged boats often.
And Yukimura Sanada, who learned ninjitsu- served the Toyotomi. He knew death was knocking at the door, but still fought

well....your right about Musashi winning battles by psychological tactics...there was a master who used the kurarigamaa(sickle and chain) very effectivly ...musashi tricked him into fighting in bamboo forest....the kusarigama is not very effective in close quarters...so musashi won! he toemnted kojiro by being 3 hours late then used the sunlight to his advantage!
did you know Jubei was also a ninja?and really honda was ieyasus main general! and hattori hanzo was ieyasus main ninja leader!

Shishido Baiken- he was unmatched up to that point. Musashi definitely had skill, and he overcame many barriers to become a sort of celebrity. But being the best? Many think he's exaggerated. Despite that, he is my favorite samurai of course.
Yeah, Jubei was an assassin on the side. The leader of the Ura Yagyu, or secret Yagyu. A sort of secret service for the Tokugawa. His family's style was forged in the mountains and was brutally effective. Not a showy display of sword swings like some.

yh so did hattori hanzo....he worked for ieyasu

Yeah, but Hanzo was dead by the time Jubei started his job. Killed by that worm, Kotaro.

ahahaha!!!
my god...you know alot...im starting to like you!
but still kotaro tricked hanzo...

Yeah, its very anti-climactic. The greatest ninja, killed on a burning boat. By some filthy ninja-bandit no less. I probably would have been satisfied if he managed to kill Kotaro in the final moments. But it wasn't meant to be. At least Kotaro was humiliated by the fall of the Hojo clan.

and omg...you even know how kotaro tricked him!
but arent ninjas dihounrable bandits anyways??? they usually attack from behind...isnt that disshounrable?

Some of them were. But overall, they just had the objective of getting the job done regardless of the means.
They usually were in the service of some lord, and held fast to being loyal to them. Hanzo, even though he was called Devil Hanzo, couldn't finish off one of Ieyasu's sons when he was given the task.
Kotaro helped the Hojo clan. But he all pillaged boats often.
And Yukimura Sanada, who learned ninjitsu- served the Toyotomi. He knew death was knocking at the door, but still fought
