Sharing Some Dynasty Warriors 4 Tunes For TTT

(Edited)

I mentioned in a recent post that I've bought a converter, and capture card with the intention of playing/ potentially streaming some old PS2 and PS1 games that I haven't played in a long time.

Dynasty Warriors 4 OST - EVE

In anticipation of getting this new equipment, I've decided to look up some of the old DW 4 songs (my favourite game in the franchise) and the songs themselves are class.

They're mostly instrumental (if not completely instrumental if I remember correctly) but they all have driving metal/ hard rock-inspired sounds that perfectly match up with with the type of games that Dynasty Warriors are.

Dynasty Warriors 4 OST - The Verge of Despair

I haven't played Dynasty Warriors 4 in about 17 years, and I actually remember a few of these songs from how they were used in the game itself.

This one 'The Verge of Despair' I can almost hear the prompts appearing on the screen as my allied generals and commanders say that they're being overwhelmed by the enemy forces.

There are many different types of missions in the game, and sometimes you start with the advantage, however, sometimes you do start disadvantaged by the enemy, either due to being ambushed or by losing the advantage during one of the cutscenes by being betrayed by some of your allies.

Dynasty Warriors - Intro

Here's the intro to the game, and it pretty much sets you up for the tone of the game, and the tone of the soundtrack that you can expect to hear throughout.

I'm really looking forward to cracking out this classic game and having a go of it. However, I also bought Dynasty Warriors 5, which I never played, and I have to say, I'm looking forward to playing that one too and may even give that one a go before 4.

Some of the voice acting is kind of ham, but that always added to the charm of the games so much. Many people couldn't take the games seriously due to the voice acting, but to be honest, that's part of the fun of these old hack-and-slash titles.

The over-the-top VO work is a feature not a bug. 😂

I love this series so much! It's been ages since I played any of these early games in the series, but I've got DW8 and DW9 on the PS5 right now and it proves that once you settle on a system that works, you can just... keep doing it. (Provided you don't go the COD route and make a new game every year and oversaturate yourself)

Yeah I'm glad they didn't over do it, and ruin the franchise. I only played the demo of DW 9 so haven't had the full experience. I did notice that they didn't seem to put the same effort into the cutscenes as they did in the earlier games.

But, the combat was really good as always.

I spent the day messing around with the ps2, but sadly it's not working. I do have a slim one, but haven't found the power supply yet. It's torture, because I really want to get on and play some DW 4, and try out 5 for the first time.

I don't know the game at all, but then I never played much on consoles apart from the Wii. In some games I did play I tended to turn the music off as it got repetitive. At least this one rocks! :)

I used to like playing on the Wii, the smash brothers games, and the wii fit were a lot of fun, especially when everyone has a go.

The music in this game, and perfectly matches each mission perfectly. I'm going to stream and make some videos out of my playthrough to add to 3Speak, so you'll be able to see a bit of the game. They're a lot of fun.

We got the Wii for the kids, but ended up playing a fair bit. We still have it, but not powered it up in a while.
