The fine folks at Koei sent us a notice today thatDynasty Warriors 6 Empiresis still, in fact, coming out on June 23 in both the US and EU. They probably felt the need to remind us due to the great distraction that wasE3 2009— what with the shiny motion controllers and all. They also included 100 screens that show both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions in action. Since 100 screens are a bit much to look through, I went ahead and narrowed them down to an even 30. There’s also a picture of a cat that Niero forwarded along with the PR. It may or may not be relevant.
I’ve traditionally ignored pastEmpiresreleases, figuring them to just beDynasty Warriorswith a mediocre, turn-based strategy component tacked on, but I’m actually sort of tempted to give this one a try. That’s because I’ve been hooked onRomance of the Three Kingdoms XIlately. It may be slow-paced, and have a very underwhelming soundtrack, but it’s been entertaining. HopefullyEmpires 6will turn out to be the same.

Also, I have no idea why I’m posting this story instead of residentDynasty WarriorsexpertSim Sterling. He’s probably still distracted by pictures of themotordyke.
