"Way of the Samurai isn't just going next-gen only but handheld too. However, PSP will be getting a port of the first game in the series with new elements and supports for 2-player battle via the ad-hoc mode. The game will be revealed in the upcoming issue of Weekly Famitsu with a half-page report. Besides the ad-hoc mode, of which the main characters from Way of the Samurai 3 will be available for selection, there will also be new weapons to use. The game is coming out this fall in Japan."
Scans and more after the jump.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Cultured Vultures: If you've got a bit of time to kill before the launch of Ghost of Tsushima on July 17th, we've got a few games for you to consider.
5 games to play before you play Ghost Of Tsushima? Bih the game releases in about 2 weeks time. I want to know how I can go to sleep and wake up the minute the game is playable. I'm dying to play this game
im really hoping it's good, but i have my reservations in terms of how fun itll be. game world looked a little boring (i know its a certain time period), and gameplay/activities looked a little ubisoft-ish. Hope im wrong
Sekiro sekiro sekiro. Loved that game world. Still havent beat it cuz im a noob, but i still love the game
Ugh, while I enjoyed Nioh overall, I hated the stance dance. If Ghosts forces you to constantly adjust fighting stances as well, I'm gonna wait for it to drop in price
Jerry from BagoGames says, "Way of the Samurai has been on my "to-play" stack for quite sometime, but with the imminent release of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice I wanted to take a look at a game in that same vein. Since I can't play games out of order, I decided to start with the first game in this series which was developed by Spike and ACQUIRE."
Was such an awesome game and trying to be at the right place at the right time to help and save everyone, join a faction, or go rogue. And so many weapons. Just don't break them. I still keep WoftS as one of the reasons of still having a PS2.
Would buy a good remake or remaster of this game in a second.
Way of the Samurai was awesome when I was a teenager. I have wanted something to bring that joy back and I think Ghost of Tsushima will be that game.
Just got a hold of the entire series, can't wait to get into it. Only played some of the first and 3rd one and really liked it.
