Man oh, man! People are really down on the ol' musou genre.

Lot of folks are already stating that, "This game is already dead." LOL!

As for the slow movement. Could be a frame rate illusion of some sort since it's a video of a video. It could also be that Koei hasn't built this up completely. Although the video on the official site looks to run pretty smoothly.

I've never really played any of the Dynasty Warrrior/ Musou Games. I've played DW Gundam2/ Gundam Musou 2. I thought it was just OK, but the controls felt pretty sluggish to me. Definitely no God of War or Sengoku Basara. Sort of made me afraid to try any more games from Koei. Since this is FOTNS though, I'm willing to give 'em one more shot! The dev has to be pretty close to being done on this game.

Yeah, Kenshiro should definitely enlighten the Zeed crew as their heads and body parts are exploding! ;D

Man, I have no idea. I'd say the chances are, say 50/50. Most folks in the US really don't dig the Musou style/Dynasty Warrior type games. I really don't like the mechanics of the latest effort by Koei, Shin Sangoku Musou: Multi Raid Special or DW: Strikeforce US. The Japanese demo was released on Jp PSN a few weeks ago. I hope that Hokuto Musou is much cleaner than this. So, having that in mind I don't hold much hope.

In any case since this is going to be released on PS3 in Japan, it's going to be region free anyways so you'll be able to import it!! If you have a PS3 that is....and a bit of cash to spare!

EDIT: Ok! Just noticed the official site has a date set 3/2010! YAY!

they need to speed up gameplay, limited move sets....... thats one of the main problems in musou games.... and jumping usually sucks too lol
