'If This Doesn't Sell, There Won't Be a Next One': Dynasty Warriors 3 Remake Producer Asks for Support

Nothing sells games like some good old fashioned guilt!!
Hahaha 🤣✌️

No support for beggars bro

This is one of my most wanted games of 2026.

i mean the average dynasty warrior game probably doesn’t sell that much so him being this desperate about it kinda makes it sad

i mean it is what it is if it doesn’t sell then that’s it as long as it’s a good game though it will probably make it worth it so let’s hope on that hopium

Wishing them success, but Musous just aren't for me.

I really really fancy this but any new game is a tall ask financially. I really just rely on second hand prices or deep sales.

I was probably going to buy this regardless, but I'd much rather see Musou games evolve and iterate like it's been doing for years. Origins gives Omega Force a strong new foundation to build off of, and that's more exciting to me than any remake would be.

I havent bought the the last new ones God they were terrible. But to be fair i can only play the same thing so many times. I dont rather see another one with the godly power stuff.

Only if they keep the difficulty of the original. The old Musou games had a certain difficulty to them. Peons can wreck you if you charge alone and get surrounded. Plus those archers, man they used to give me nightmares.

If they make it like the last one or any that came after the PS2, then forget it. Don't bother remaking them.

Here is an idea they can have for free, make a game that people want to buy.

Was there even a market or ask for this ?
Never in my life have I read or heard any one ask for Dynasty warriors 3 remake...

Of course they'd use this old threat...I would have been an immediate buyer if they chose 4, but they chose the game before it instead. I guess I'm obligated to buy this one in the off-chance 4 can get the same treatment 😒 This isn't anything against DW3, I just started with 4 and have the most nostalgia of playing that entry specifically, especially with friends.

That’s true of pretty much any series: if they don’t sell, they stop making it. Not sure having the dev come out and say it will help, but hey, in this economy, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

I just want them to focus on dw10 or better yet, another samurai warriors.

This goes for every game. 😅
I do want DW10 more than another remaster.

I do want this, good memories, but it's not a launch game for me

DW is my guilty pleasure, DW8XL, DW: Origins are peak DW experiences, I am happy to see a traditional one using the scale and graphics of DW Origins. I'll be buying most likely day one!

@Enuo
I agree - I used to like the games, but got bored of the cycle of having to play for hours to upgrade a character only to unlock better characters, then start back at the beginning with them.
Origins bought me back to the series, and gave them a very solid point to improve upon - a character creator, and more choice / depth over individual moves and combos for example for that character (as opposed to just a change of weapons). That said, I did like the character/story arc.
After playing Origins, im just not sure I have any interest in going back. Plus, I though Origins sold very well considering.

You got me on nostalgia alone. I'm there. It better have the Opening Edit where you could put any character you wanted in the intro cutscene! Nothing like seeing Dian Wei do a dance!

The series has never been for me. So I can’t support it.

You could say that about any game ever made.

@Uromastryx The concept of Dynasty Warriors remakes generally are funny to me. They're so iterative, they could get away with changing a few things around and selling this as DW10 (or 11?).

It's like asking for a remake of Gran Turismo 3.

Is this game using UE5? if so that explains the begging before release. The next red flag will be no review codes sent out until a week after this releases

Who doesn’t love a good dry beg?

@Ricky-Spanish based on the poll it sounds like there won’t be another one. Honestly I’m tired of this attitude from devs. Enough man, make a good game and be proud of it. This just sounds like he’s angry he has to do this and is just like “you better make it worth my time.”

@nessisonett ...Hi. Have you found buying current gen games, with prices creeping up around £70+ has affected your purchases much ? Are you buying a lot less than before ?
I've been lucky so far in being able to purchase a lot of games Day 1 and using GamePass a LOT, but even im looking at Ghost of Yotei and BF6 with their prices and thinking "SCREW THAT, NOT A CHANCE"

@springer17 that’s a good point. There are plenty of games that would be welcomed with open arms if they were remade. Why this one?

@KingPev buying less? Im just gaming less. I realized I couldn’t justify the cost of multiple consoles and sold my Pro, cancelled my WoW subscription, etc. there’s not enough time or money for all of this stuff, and with prices going up consistently I just can’t do it anymore. One game a month if that now. You’re not alone here, many people share similar feelings. It’s not that the games themselves are always bad, the return on investment just isn’t as substantial as it once was.

The hardest part? We grow up, we have more standards and that means less indulgence.

Why the producer felt the need to say this when DW Origins sold well like 1-2 million copies? There's no need for them to used this lame ass tactics to sell the game when a lot of DW fans will buy it on day 1.

This is just stupid. Why have such scale/expectations. Stop asking for more money, stop changing engines, stop wasting time with the budget given. Idiot leaders, idiot decisions and blame audiences when it's always had a particular sized audience anyway. It's not going to get bigger.

Don't pull a PS2 era nostalgia on us for Dynasty Warriors 3. Like get over yourselves. Your decisions, your use of the IP over the years, your long running IP, you work it out.

It's not like I assume 3 is that different from other entries of the modern era, or any sub series stuff to revive would be better situation. So to me this is just dumb.There are plenty of PS2 era IPs they could approach. I think even Fatal Frame 1 or 3 should get remade not 2 again.

Do something different with Dynasty Warriors then.

Chibi Robo got it worse, is way more niche and Nintendo barely even marketed them well.

Dynasty Warriors games probably don't sell as well as the crossover ones with different IPs, or many people have played or moved on from a Dynasty Warriors games after getting sick of the formula at this point, people that play and enjoy them do, most other people don't, so why even bother saying 'this doesn't sell we won't make more' that doesn't convince people more to buy the ones that don't play, got sick of the series or already play the series and can make up their mind easily.

There are plenty of Dynasty Warriors games, what makes them different enough to pick them up this often, let alone be such a big scale game when they could just do other things with the other or formula or characters, or setting or whatever, but no blame audiences for their lack of ideas/direction.

Should've remade 4, it had the best soundtrack.

@Uromastryx

Yes, there were a lot of people from the DW community asking for a remaster/remake of the old games. For quite some time.
Some asked for 3, some for 4, some for 5, even a few for 6.
But that's the thing, the DW/SW community is pretty small, so I'm not sure what it is that they're expecting in terms of sales.
I don't think it's going to sell as much as Origins.

@StitchJones
I think I read somewhere that its using the same engine as DW Origins, which runs well.

DWO:
If I remember correctly (I only played on Pro), it does have some minor fps dips to 55fps on base PS5 Performance mode, but can run a fair bit higher at other times (if you have a 120hz TV), and generally its OK.

Pro sees a very big increase, and reaches 70-100fps in the higher res Graphics mode, again if you you have 120hz.

Its not the prettiest game (or the worst looking), but then you have to appreciate what it is trying to do and keep to good framerate - I played DWO at release on Pro and was pleased.

Its possible it used UE4, but im not sure.

I always like the idea of Dynasty Warriors games but actually playing them quickly turns into a repetitive slog for me.

Isn't that the case for most remakes? (that they won't continue if they don't sell)

Well, instead of remake the game that many people want to play but made 3rd and then force them to buy it to make 4th. GOOD TACTIC, LOL!!!

@Rich33 Its ashame we are at a point where when a new game comes out we wonder if its using UE5 because of a possible death sentence. UE has been dominant and the go to for years. Talk about a fall from grace. I sound like a broken record with this, but I hope CDPR knew what it was doing switching to UE5 from RED engine.

Esp after the mess cyberpunk was at launch. Can you imagine if witcher 4 releases and is a huge UE5 mess like most games have been? Any good will rebuilt with fixing Cyberpunk will be lost all over again

@StitchJones
Yes, its bad we have to ask "its not UE5, is it?" - and everyone seems in the same boat here.

Couldn't even guess how low the framerate would go with UE5 trying to render the number of enemies on screen that DWO does - it would likely be single figures... but as I say, I think I read they are sticking to the DWO engine which imo works - I think they did well, particularly on Pro, with how insane the gameplay can get in terms of moving enemy units. They used a few tricks* to lower CPU useage too I believe.

Unsure if W4 will release this gen or next, but PS5 is going to seriously struggle imo. If PS6 is already out, they may be able to get away with max 30fps on base PS5, maybe...

Edit * - I mean this is a positive sense, as it was good planning.

How about if it’s a good game we’ll buy it? Tired of these annoying Devs and publishers guilt tripping us. It’s weird

Won't be getting my money, lol.

How about some remakes that are actually warranted/wanted? Deadly Premonition, Simpsons Hit & Run, Twisted Metal just off the top of my head.
These Asain devs seem to just be remaking any and every bit of ***** willy nilly.

I really enjoy the gameplay, and the games based on other I.P. like Fire Emblem and Hyrule Warriors are addictive, but basic Dynasty Warriors is too bland for me.

@KingPev I guess you buy digital? I pre ordered BF6 of Amazon for £54.99 as there was no way on earth I was going to pay the ps store price.

I am defiantly getting this anyways as DW 3 was great it looks even better but I hope we get at least 4 complete collection and 5 complete collection

@Rich33 It might be a cross gen ps5/ps6 game, but more then likely native ps6. But that's irrelevant and I disagree with what you said about it all being ok if they wait for ps6. Cause the problem isn't the hardware, its the UE5 engine. High end PC's right now aren't immune to the UE5 problems. Far from it. So again, I hope CDPR knew what it was doing and can optimize Witcher 4 properly in the end.

I hope they stay with RED engine for cyberpunk 2. That game had a very special artistic vibe to it that was very charming. It would be ashamed to see that lost for the Cyberpunk sequel. RED engine is a beast too. I'm not a PC gamer, but i have seen Cyberpunk running on a beast of a rig and its otherwordly. The next iteration of RED for ps6/PC could be the new benchmark for everything. But we would still need to see Decima's native ps6 iteration which will be a showstopper itself. Naughty Dog, Guerilla and CDPR are magicians with their prop. engines. F*** UE5, who needs it?

I'll be all over this if it's a 1 to 1 remake of the PS2 version not with ***** added from the future games. Also it's also price as well because I expect this to be a £40+ game and I'm not paying that if they want it to sell place it around £25.

I loved DW3 during my PS2 era I spent hours playing with friends in coop split screen, shame it doesn't have coop online

I think it will sell decent. I would get it if it went to the PS Catalog, but with it selling on Nintendo Switch 2 it should be ok in the Asian markets.
DW 3 was special back in the day.. many good memories. And the PSP spin off of DW was good too.
And everyone worrying about it being UE5… it is.

If this was listed at £30 it's day one for me. Dynasty Warriors 3 brings back some very sentimental memories with a friend who's been gone for over 15 years.

Putting that entire bit aside because it is definitely not relevant, Dynasty Warriors 3, 4 and 5 were excellent, but the series really lost the fun connection I had to specific characters once they made nearly all weapons available to everyone.

If it’s good, people will buy it.

I very much doubt i'll buy it, unless it's a remaster price tag and I hear good things about it then maybe. Right now though off the bat, no.

@Northern_munkey I do buy digitally a lot, I will buy BF6 digitally but I'll hopefully persuade the wife to buy me it for Xmas ha ha.
But recently I've bought MGS 3 Delta, Silent Hill f physical special editions.
Pricing hasn't really bothered me before but even im holding back and refusing!

@Coffeeglitch...when I cancelled my WoW subscription after 12 yrs I spiralled into a deep depression 😅

Wouldn't that be a shame...

I'd be more willing to buy that if Koei Tecmo wasn't consistently one of the most profitable games publishers in Japan.
