Way of the Samurai 3 New PS3 Screens

Worthplaying: "While there is no official announcement yet, Acquire is developing the next installment in the Way of the Samurai franchise, currently only scheduled for release in Japan this fall. Way of the Samurai 3 will feature over 100 weapons for you to wield in defense of the poor, lonely, while fending off rivaling samurai clans."

Those are not next gen graphics. I laugh everytime I see these.

[TheHater]

I have to agree. Or this might be a PSN download or something. But I don't see how a game on the ps3 after these pass two years can look that bad.

[highdro]

after seeing what te ps3 can do with MGS4 do u think i am really going to by this game that looks so last year graphics ?

[Rikitatsu]

If you buy games based on graphics, then you shouldn't call yourself a gamer

Way of the samurai games have the best Combat system in any action RPG to date

[Hydrolex]

did you copy my name ?

The game doesn't look good anyway.

[Kaneda]

I hope this is early stage of the game.. but the graphic sucks! that sucks they cancelled Eight days and The Getaway and concentrate on this.. :)

[LordZ]

Looks almost like a PS2 game!!!

[kingOVsticks]

the way of the samurai games are so much fun pick your own kendo style,different weapons choices,different endings etc I hope they take advantage of the PS3 blu ray disc and fit in as many different possible ending as possible instead of the typical good guy,neutral guy,bad guy.
Speaking of samurai games SE needs to bring back bushido blade from the dead that game was awesome!

[voice_of_ reason]

Man, I completely agree with you, Bushido Blade was an awesome game... way ahead of its time. You ever play Kengo for the ps2? That game was pretty good too.

[INehalemEXI]

Yup, I been waiting for Bushido Blade 3 too.

[MK_Red]

Wow, those graphics look more suitable for PSP. Seriously, even Wii can have such graphics.

I know graphics are not everything and Way of Samurai games are a good series that are about gameplay but the devs really should work a bit more on visuals of their game.

[Alexander Roy]

I'd rather see they invest most of the development time and money into the gameplay and then upgrade the graphics as far as possible. Good graphics alone don't make a game, hence why people still play the original Super Mario Bros.

[MK_Red]

True but SMB's graphics were insane when they came out.
Also, perfect graphics and gameplay are better than just perfect gameplay. A still popular game like COD4 had both.

Still, nothing beats true gameplay. As I said, Mario Bros had superb and smooth graphics when it came out for NES. My example would be Fallout 2 which had pretty weak graphics even for 1998 but it's still my all time fave game and I still have it installed on my current system and play it from time to time :)
Gameplay indeed is more important but come on... those shots were too lacking IMO.

[KillaManiac]

Graphics aren't everything, which is why Disgaea 3 is easily one of my most anticipated games this year. (Level 9999 and stuff I can never accomplish FTW!)

[Egzekutor]

Onimusha Dawn of Dreams (PS2) looks much better than this..

This game's graphics are ....... i cant find the words to express my feelings right now.. Get the fuk out with this sh1t game...

[kevin1122]

i love this series, i hope they bring this game state side.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

just kidding.

[AppleSlime]

That's no excuse for bad graphics. Graphics add to the immersion element of gaming.

[thehitman]

Im sry but those visuals are a turn off gameplay excellent or not I dont mind mediocore graphics and excellent gameplay but terrible graphics hinder the gameplay. I dont see them overachieving anything with this game and to me they may under achieve a lot. 60 dollars is a lot these days ppl are not just throwing it and anything and everything.

[RememberThe357]

Great point. We're putting $60 down on these games, we deserve at least good graphics along with the gameplay. However if this is one of those budget titles it's all gravy, and $39.99 for crappy graphics and good gameplay works for me.

[titntin]

Way of the smaurai has never had great tech or graphics.

That's never stopped my from enjoying the titles enourmously, but it WILL stop the game from ever receiveing the kind of attention it deserves.

[drdre74]

looks like a PS2 game to me. But they this maybe a early alpha build or something and they are going back in later to add and fix some stuff. But as is this isnt close to being a top looking game.

[juuken]

It looks interesting. I love samurai and especially ninjas. :3
And I know graphics aren't everything but these graphics need a bit of improvement. :/

[Pornlord]

I agree, the way of the samauri never really relied on graphics, gameplay is amazing though. But this is the Age of HD and this is a very powerful console they are putting it on

[Says you]

I mean if graphics and gameplay were like 50/50 then that would be great and thehitman you shouldn't talk considering XBox 360 fans would throw there money at any game like BurgerKing games and Eragon for points.

[heyheyhey]

whatever, can we please have Yakuza 3 in the UK?

[SaiyanFury]

I don't give a rat's ass about the graphics. But people are right, this is the age of HD so some kind of detailed graphics would be nice. They look good enough to me though. I'm just worried that this game won't see the light of day overseas. The first two games were published by 2 different companies, being Bam! Entertainment and Capcom for the second game. Acquire seldomly brings their own works overseas. I just hope a hungry western or eastern publisher picks up the North American rights to this awesome series. I've loved it since the first time I played it.

[KidMakeshift]

The graphics look on par with Tenchu Z

I enjoyed the first two kina. They need to offer a japanese dub for 3 if they decide to bring it over here (you too Yakuza 3)

[Swiftfox]

Please, let us remember that not all studio's are capable of producing AAA graphics.

Kojima Productions, Ninja Theory, Infinity Ward, all exstremely big budget studios producing big budget games with the highest degree in graphics application.

This series, while always lacking in graphical prowess, delivers a very satisfying and unique gameplay experience that any fan of action adventure should try.

Lets not damn the book because it has no pictures.
