The trailer implies that it's a sort of prequel, judging by the fact Nobunaga is only starting his campaign to unify Japan, with the glimpse Akechi's betrayal of Oda as a sneak peak of the climax. So that would explain why they look younger, since this is the part were the Sengoku period really gets rolling.
Historically, he was around 16 when he started his warlord career and around 25 in Okehazama which would chronologically be the earliest battle in the SW games. Would be neat if there were evolving character models to represent different points of their lives seeing the games have the habit of showing them the same age throughout the entire campaign.
Gotta love them spending a fuck ton of money on a live-action movie no one wants, rather than using that money to modernize the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series. Last games I liked from them were the Orochi games (didn't play the last one), where they at least tried to do something different by creating a unique story.
Hey I recognize those backdrops from Dynasty Warriors 8!
The bump in resolution and framerate alone justifies a Switch port.
Wow that looks bad, i recommend the 2010 War of the Three Kingdoms tv series the chinese made (it's really good but to finish the story (last episodes skip from after Zhuge Liang death and Shu retreat to Sima Yi setting up the Jin Regency and then to his death) you need to pick the 1990's Romance of the Three Kingdoms tv series episodes that fill that hole in the story (internet archive has both shows, dailymotion has the 2010 series)
