[...] Sengoku Basara X Boooo! Devil Kings were such lame games, why make a spin-off of such a crappy franchise? On the plus side, its being made by Arc Systems, you know, that godly developer who made one of the best 2D fighting games franchises, Guilty Gear. With Guilty Gear unfortunately heading out the window though, its good there still keeping it old school. From screenshots this fighter is already looking tasty. [...]

Meh.

Devil Kings was a very very mediocre Dynasty Warriors rip-off. I heard a lot of material was changed during the translation phase when they were bringing the game outside of Japan. I heard that the Japanese one’s plot was based around the period of Oda Nobunaga and it had more characters than the American version.

The American version is just spliced with horrible voice acting and random CG and animated cinemas that make no sense.

Apparently the first one was popular enough in Japan to warrant a sequel. And now they’re making a 2D fighter of it. A majority of the characters were of poor design so this does not look interesting. It might not even be released in the US seeing as how the 2nd Sengoku Basara game remains in Japan.

SF is the property of Capcom USA now.
So keep an eye someone like David Sirlin for news of SFIV (if it ever comes)
