One Piece: Kaizoku Musou is a PS3 game developed by Omega Force, the guys behind the famous Dynasty Warriors series. The game will have the entire One Piece story following the manga from East Blue to after the timeskip. No release date has been given yet but we hope to have one soon.
Former PlayStation US bigwig Shawn Layden has weighed in on the subject of video game preservation during a chat with Lan Parties, stating that more should be done by the big players in the industry to help preserve games.
Preservation is important. I’m hoping that more people in the industry, certainly the big players, begin to realize that there’s an obligation and responsibility. This isn’t throw-away stuff we’re making. This is stuff that should be around for a long time because future generations will enjoy it in the same way that we have and it’s criminal that we’re not doing more to protect it.
Sony in particular has come under attack for its poor attitude towards game preservation, having originally announced plans to shutter the PSP, PS Vita, and PS3 stores back in March 2021. This was met with widespread backlash, resulting in the format holder confirming the Vita and PS3 stores would remain open.
"Bring him back! Or put Shuhei in charge"
I would rather have Jack as Playstation CEO and Shu as President/Head of Playstation Studios.
But Layden is definitely better than Ryan
Wouldn't your rather the government pass a law banning PlayStation and requiring all citizens to purchase 15 Xboxes and GP subs?

No.
I don´t want Playstation to disappear. Actually, I want Playstation to be quite successful and maintain its leadership on the market so MS could´t never get back to their cocky ways and f* with Xbox gamers ever again.
If you read my comment history, You´ll be able to confirm by yourself that I´d been actually encouraging your PS pals hurt by MS latest acquisitions to boycott Xbox games and support Sony instead.
So I´ve been noticing that only Jin Sakai, jznrpg and Apocalypse Shadow will actually walk the talk and boycott MS unlike some hypocrites talking sh*t about monopoly and consolidation, while giving their money to MS anyway.
Botton line, though, without Playstation as competition, Xbox gamers are doomed! Period!
It's not that they don't mind. People just know what to expect from Nintendo. They're ridiculous in many ways. Charging for a terrible counterintuitive online service? Cracking down in emulation when they don't do enough for their own game preservation? Charging a premium for the tech they've got?
People mind, but they are perhaps willing to treat their bad behavior with less weight because they do deliver with games. It's functionally an abusive relationship with good sex.
Bizarre analogy, but I think it's true.
Whilst the compang does the bare minimum with backwards compatibility?
Preservation of games isn't just BC, so many gamers don't actually know what the full meaning of preservation even means.
That's true, but the main focus from a consumer standpoint is allowing gamers to continue to play their older titles.
Preserving the history through backwards compatibility and ease of access, which Sony don't do a great job at...YET.
The ps catalogue is continually expanded and love being able to play older titles I enjoyed on PS3 like Tekken 6, so at least they're moving in the right direction on that front, albeit very slowly.
Learn grammar is a bit rich coming from you who can't differentiate between your and you're. English clown 😂
Does this mean we can have a lot more "Playstation Classics"? I don't feel like we're getting enough for what was promised, at least they added a few games this month.
True. I've been waiting for some of those old school rpgs from the ps1 ps2 Era, where f is legend of legaia Sony
Oh yes! Give me Legaia! I don't have my original PS1 copy any more (idk even know what happened to it). There's so many games I missed the first time around, I would love the opportunity to play them.
The boom of Playstation Classics seems to have fizzled out last gen. Now it's mostly remakes or remasters.
Sony is in a position where they could do a lot, with their premium games. They have all the systems in place to do something cool on the psp, ps2 and psx front, but they don't really want to, it seems.
Maul Squad: I’m a fan of the One Piece series, there, I’ve admitted it. I’ve watched the anime and I currently read the manga weekly when it’s been scanned and translated with many other mangas which I’m in the middle of reading. For anime inspired games, there are a couple of gems in the rough but I don’t really play anime inspired games for the same reason why nobody plays licensed movie games, they’re normally turd (I’m looking at you Gungrave) and only accessible for fans of the series. One Piece: Pirate Warriors falls head first into that category.
I'm a huge OP fan but the games are just boring, I've never liked the Dynasty Warriors games. I with this was more of an RPG or open world type game. The entire wave after wave after wave of the same things get so boring. I bought the first one but never made it past Choppers arc because I just wasn't having fun anymore.
Aye i know the feeling. I soldiered through, it gets better but not by much. Funnily enough if you have a PSP you can keep an eye out for One Piece: Romance Dawn which apparantly focuses more on the RPG element.
Is it so much to ask for a good game based on one of my favourite animes?I like the game but I can honestly say if it wasn't based on one piece it would suck to me.
I loved this game, though I do agree with all of the negative points about it. The way the awesome story of the series was told in the game was indeed lame, and there were way too many QTEs. I agree though, if not for the One Piece stuff the game would be crap. One Piece is my favorite anime/manga though so I'll gobble up anything to due with it; I only had two coins left before I could platinum this one, and now if they would just lower the price of the second game, I would be all up in that right now.
"They have the original Japanese voice actors from the anime with no English language setting in sight (thank god) so for fans of the anime it’ll sit right with them."
....Unless of course fans of the anime also happen to like the English dub.
Several new screenshots, featuring the Nico Robin Kimono costume DLC in addition to another downloadable scenario, has been revealed for the Playstation 3 exclusive title, One Piece: Kaizoku Musou.
Plays just like DW??Count me in.
I'm not impressed by this seeing how the developers of the Naruto games managed to translate the anime to a game.
Looks good enough for me.
wooo, I love One Piece and I love dynasty warriors!
love one piece favorite anime right now
but I'm not such a big fan of dynasty warriors
