You fools, we need to kickstart PLATINUM WARRIORS n-NOW.
aka Anarchy Reigns w/ Platinum Game icons. Just imagine a Warriors game with you know... effort in the combat? Shit would steal hearts and souls.

OT: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Warriors with so many chars they could pull it off I think
I'll throw in another wish for Marvel or DC Warriors.
Also watch the finale of Power Rangers Time Force and witness what a Super Sentai Warriors could look like. It's not like there isn't a massive number of mooks to slaughter anyway. Throw in memorable villains to play as in free mode like Goldar, Rito, Ransick, Ecliptor, etc and i'd buy it on nostalgia alone.

Square-Enix Warriors, just imagine; Musashi (Brave Fencer), Tifa (Final Fantasy), Crono (Chrono Triger), Jessica (Dragon Quest), Tiz (Bravely Default), Myuria (Star Ocean), etc. all the heroes going up against all the villains from the different SE titles, hell they could use Chrono Trigger as the basis of time and space becoming mixed together and Lavos would make for a great last boss

FFS, I need to hang around here more often again.
I have a confession, I used to rag on KOEI for making so many of the Warriors games. That said, I got ahold of different games finally and have pulled an about face. DW2 is a cheap bastard, but now I see how much better DW4 is all around, and then how 5 is better. Samurai Warriors 1 is OK, but I played Orochi 3 for about 5 hours before I realized the sun was rising. The one irritation I have consistently is that my allied officers are generally as useful as a cardboard cut-out as I always seem to be having to save their asses.
As for a new 'Warriors' spin-off/team-up, many of the suggestions are good to great, but aside from the comic-book setups almost all are based on JRPG, which is not a real issue considering the ROTK-DW direct connections, but I do have some that I think would be a change. They are also out there, and likely wouldn't ever cross the mind of any sane being, but sane I am not.
-Warriors Orochi 4- Orochi attempts to destroy everything again, links Three Kingdoms China and Feudal Japan AGAIN...but also, and here's KOEI's chance to change it up, Orochi has also linked to the modern day, or at least relatively modern day.
-Brutal Warriors- The first half of Brutal Legend had me happily hacking away at enemies, and some of that was likely getting lost and slashing my way around the map, but I digress. I think the entire premise of Brutal Legend could be taken and made into something much bigger that what we've seen. Not everyone is a fan of rock, but who said ALL the characters had to be metal-based. Have another "Pull this random guy from the future" bit, and...I dunno, that's as far as that one got.

I will be honest, I thought not only the same thing, But Also I thought the Thread was about to find titles which end with "Warriors" on them....Dirty Hipsters said:

Why not go with a country that has a long fascinating history that is almost unknown outside its own borders? Find the right time period and any warriors game set in the various kingdoms that make up modern India and Pakistan would be great. Or perhaps a game set in the world of Conan the Barbarian but with a warriors format. Many of his stories feature battles where one or two brave men turned the tide one way or another.
I've only seen friends play DW so stop me if I don't understand. Here goes:
Borderlands Warriors. I guess it's not much of a jump from an FPS with lots of enemies to whatever genre you call Dynasty Warriors. I'd love to see Brick or Axton surrounded by a hundred psychos. Imagine a turret that shoots faster the more enemies surround it. Aren't some of the skills in BL already dependent on the number of nearby enemies?
Left 4 Dead Warriors. Again, not that much of a jump. You'd have to diversify the characters: big-guy Francis would be at his best at grapple range, sending enemies flying with Hulk-style smashes; Bill's military skills might make him an explosives expert or give him the ability to control enemy movement, and so on. Could be great.
Ninja Turtles Warriors. Do I win the thread?
+1 to Jedi Warriors.
+1 to Marvel Warriors, though there is already Ultimate Alliance.
+1 to 40k Warriors, though they already did that too, it was called Space Marine.

Thank you. You just gave me a new idea for a Thread.Dirty Hipsters said:
Also thank you for your kind words.
I think where games like Hyrule Warriors and Warriors Orochi (and I imagine One Piece, but I've never played it so could be very wring) fail is that it's just one team of "heroes" against a faceless hoard. I don't want to fight "Big Poe #27", I want to fight Lu Su, or Zhang Fei, or Cao Pi! I LOVE the Three Kingdoms setting of Dynasty Warriors, and all the history behind all the officers - even ones that share generic models - makes it more engaging. There's also no "good vs evil" (well, you could maybe argue Wei is the "evil" side) - each faction has its own motivations and character. This is why I don't think a Power Rangers or Ninja Turtles warriors game would work.
Also, while I like Sengoku Basara I kinda prefer the "army vs army" of Warriors over "man vs army". Feels more epic.
But on topic... what kind of Warriors game would I like? I'd like something like Dynasty Warriors but set in ancient or medieval Europe. Maybe something centred around the Punic Wars, but preferably a period of conflict with at least three major groups - and something well documented too so they can recreate the actual battles/officers (but embellished to ludicrous degrees, obviously). Maybe have the Saxons and Vikings or something - if I knew my history better I could surely find a good setting.

I think it would only make sense that ATLUS's big spinoff gets one: Persona 4-iors.
Ooh, How about Pikmin Warriors? It's already got the huge multiman battles, several factions (pikmin, puffmin, and the bulbmin) and huge boss battles. A Cartoon Network Warriors would be amazing too. Get like, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Steven Universe, Powerpuff Girls, you know, all of them.
Of course, nothing could compare to... THE ULTIMATE WARRIORS!

After rewatching an old episode of Blackaddar tonight I realized that Warriors of the Roses would work well. Lots of famous nobles fighting it out for control of a kingdom. Why would Blackaddar make me think of this? Because Edmund killed 450 peasants and about 8 noblemen. How do we know this? Because he said so! Sounds like a new warriors franchise to me!

I'm an inspirational kind of guy, it's what I do - He said without an ounce of humility.SweetShark said:
I'd like to see a Dynasty Warriors-style game with spaceships. If it has to be based on a preexisting IP, I'd go for either Star Wars or Star Control. Star Wars has the epic, larger-than-life stuff down, and Star Control has a good variety of ships.
