Just noting that if I could amend my review for ROTK8R, I'd add a whole point there now, since the lack of Chinese VO back then was a real sticking point in the immersiveness for this Chinese-history based game

Bamco has started publishing more details on the Ace Combat 30th anniversary concert set to take place in Saitama in late January 2026

However it appears that the concert's logo seems to be deliberately made to have an empty slot at that corner...?

As I head back to recuperate my arms after a packed TGS week, I'll leave some food for thought on the upcoming DW3 remaster:

What will happen to characters who would become unique in later Dynasty Warriors entries but were still generic in DW3

4 possible predictions for future Dynasty Warriors unique characters who were still generic in the original DW3 for the upcoming remaster, such as Li Dian
1. 100% Unique design
2. Unique face but Generic outfit
3. 100% Generic just like original DW3
4. Complete disappearance (like Cao Ren in DW Origins)

Gonna guess Onimusha WotS lost out because not only Capcom is already having 4 titles represented here (RE9+MMSF+MHS3+Pragmata) but also there's a very similar competition in KT's Nioh 3
