As the tagline of this article suggests, Dynasty Warriors 9 looks pretty much exactly like you'd expect it to - but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The current-gen sequel's looking like a real step up as far as visuals are concerned, and the action looks as over-the-top as ever. You can get an eyeful of the upcoming release thanks to the title's very first gameplay trailer, which we've embedded above.

In case you didn't already know, Dynasty Warriors 9 is opting for an open world, which in theory means that we're going to have larger battlefields than ever before. China's a pretty big place, after all, so it's nice to see the setting finally getting the scale that it deserves.
