Onimusha: "Way of the Sword" and Remasters discussion

[Isslander]

Finally Capcom stopped humping the Zombified Resident Evil franchise for five minutes and turned it's attention to one of the Greatest PS2 franchises, Onimusha. Although it ended with the lackluster Dawn of Dreams, 1-3 are all excellent games ( 2 being absolutely fantastic) and now we have a new beginning - The Way of The Sword. 2026, the countdown begins here.

Viewtiful Joe next, Capcom?

Loved the series.

Even if now there's, since it was out, way too much games looking like it on 2000-2005 it was something special.
I still love the lore of that game and a new version is still welcome. I would like to see some PS1 or PS2 classics sequel like for example Dino Crisis or Tenchu (the 2 lone examples coming to my mind)

Capcom remaking anything but Dino Crisis.
I have played the OG Onimusha just because it was a mix of classic survivor horror and action, but this seems like a modern souls like copy. Which is fine i guess, this is what sells nowdays but im not interested at all.

I suppose they could go souls like with it but there is nothing in this teaser which suggests it's gone into that territory. It just looks like a new Onimusha.

Totally, they should maintain that Onimusha vibe without expanding into "souls" mechanics. Besides FromSoftware and NeoWiz from S. Korea (creators of Lies of P) I didn't encountered any through and through good "souls like" game on the market, so I think could be a disservice for Onimusha to go on that route...

Gameplay glimpses.
Onimusha 2 remaster coming late May.
The fighting looks great, especially like when the genma get stuck undir fabrics and flail around.

Onimusha 2 remaster is quite polished, still að bit "old" to play, if you use the stick it can be rough to move around in fixed backgrounds that change perspective. Apart from that it is quite challenging at times, but I enjoy it very much.
