The Warriors hands-on (The Warriors)

Sep 30, 2005

It's two months since we - and, today, we finally had the opportunity to play the free-roaming street brawler for ourselves. Beat-'em-ups that provide players with the autonomy to wander around 3D environments have, traditionally, been a disaster. Whether it's the (now long-forgotten) PS2 fist-fest The Bouncer or the more recent Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance, it's a genre that has always sounded like a good idea in theory but left a lot to be desired in practice. Thankfully, from what we've ...

The Warriors: Street tough shots and movies (The Warriors)

Sep 23, 2005

Rockstar has released a posse of new images and movies from its upcoming sidewalk scrapper The Warriors. Besides slugging it out with rival gangs - and as we reported in our - players will be offered a variety of criminal distractions to keep them busy, namely robbing stores and stealing car stereos. Both of these crooked activities are shown in the movies below and also demonstrate how 'war chief' commands (orders issued to the crew by the gang leader) can be used during these scenarios ...

The Warriors shot riot (The Warriors)

Sep 8, 2005

Rockstar has released a selection of new shots from its upcoming adaptation of 1979 cult movie The Warriors. As we've come to expect from the GTA and Manhunt publisher, The Warriors promises to feature plenty of gratuitous violence as the action follows a persecuted posse fighting its way home through hostile New York gang turf. In addition to brainless brutality, there's also mindless miscreant mischief to be had in the form of looting, mugging and swiping car stereos. We a little while ...

The Warriors goes to war (The Warriors)

May 20, 2005

Rockstar has unveiled a trio of new shots of its retro-fuelled fist-fest The Warriors, the ages-in-the making free-roaming fighter inspired by the cult movie of the same name. While there is still little in the way of firm info known about the game, we're expecting it to have elements of prior Rockstar games like and , just with added bandanas. For earlier screenshots, . The Warriors will be released for PS2 and Xbox in ...

The Warriors: New screens emerge (The Warriors)

May 13, 2005

The Rockstar PR machine has kicked into life again today with the result of the first proper screenshots of The Warriors. However, in typically enigmatic fashion, the GTA publisher hasn't released any new information on the game. What we do already know, however, is that the game's storyline is set before the cult classic (and entirely cheesy) 1979 gang flick, which follows New York gang The Warriors as they attempt to escape from the enemy turf of the Upper Bronx back to their home territory ...

The Warriors: First shots and details (The Warriors)

Apr 20, 2005

After hearing whispers of Rockstar's take on cult movie The Warriors for what seems like years, we've finally got hold of some solid details of what the PS2 and Xbox title will entail. Not only that, we've also uncovered the first ever shots of the game in action (albeit in dodgy scanned-in-from-a-magazine stylee). The shots in question have been hosted by a Warriors fan site and are taken from the new issue of US mag Game Informer. The images aren't of the highest quality but they do ...

IGN: The Wednesday 10: Fixing Dynasty Warriors (Warriors Orochi)

Apr 30, 2009

IGN:
KOEI's Dynasty Warriors franchise has been around for years now.

Jan 30, 2008

In a surprise turn of events, Koei has unveiled the sequel to the highly successful crossover Warriors Orochi in this week's Famitsu. In the original, the demon king Orochi combines the worlds of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, and spreads chaos. The new game will feature several new additions including new characters (Fu Xi, Nu Wa, all the characters from the expansion Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends - out March 18), stages (all new exclusive stages - Itsukushima - along with SW2:XL's brand of stages), modes (Dramatic, Survival, and, the long awaited return for, Versus Mode, which will feature the signature three-on-three design the original developed). Expect all this and more as new gameplay modes will be revealed throughout the year up until its release in Japan on April 3rd.

SPECULATION: Many have begun to suspect that the new Versus mode could be similar to the Duel mode, first introduced by Dynasty Warriors 4. Further inspection has led some beginning to think these arenas will be much larger than previous entries in the series.
