Game Informer - Capcom's Onimusha series took real life characters from history and retold actual historical battles with supernatural elements. The game follows a couple of ghost busting Samurai who travel through the country killing demonic monsters and absorbing their souls with a mystical gauntlet. It's probably pretty close to the actual history.
Cultured Vultures: Capcom's epic samurai series Onimusha has been on hiatus for the better part of 15 years. We're asking if it'll ever come back.
Nope, and Capcom tested the waters with Onimusha HD and nobody bought it. So, yea, we effectively killed the Onimusha franchise by not buying the game.
not true because i remember in that leaked capcom document of all their future projects "onimusha new work" was one of the titles listed.
The HD remake had a music problem due to the controversy with the original composer and replacing his music with meh music. Maybe that affected sales.
But an Onimusha game of the quality of recent capcom games (RE2,DMC5) would definitely be welcomed by everyone and the sales of Ghost of tsushima will hopefully push Capcom to give the franchise another try.
It wasn't a remake though, it was a remaster, and they could have done a better job on it, but it was good playing through it for old times sake.
Now, if they made a full remake, that would be awesome.
they just put that game out there out of the blue
wish they did it for the other games
We didn’t kill it by not picking up an old ass game with hardly any quality of life updates. That game was absolutely amazing for its time, but it’s capcom’s own fault for such a lame remaster. You want interest from old fans or new fans, you gotta come with something that doesn’t look and feel 3 generations old.
LOL....the reason we will not see another Onimusha game is not because they put out a dopey HD version of an antiquated game on current gen. The reason we will not see it is the same reason we have not seen a new Dino Crisis, Okami, Strider, Viewtiful Joe, Bionic Commando, etc. Its the same reason everytime.
Oh yea? Tell that to the Darkstalker fans then.
Same thing happened to Zone of the Enders 3.
Pass.
Ghost of Tsushima filled that void for me, and then some. I don't see Capcom reaching this level of quality for a single-player game.
Ghost of Tsushima nor Nioh is nothing like the Onimusha franchise. Onimusha is unique compared to GOT.
lmaoooo what? ghost of tsushima doesn't have anything in common with onimusha out of the character being a samurai lmaooooo
Nioh gameplay - world class (10/10)
Nioh story telling - not so much (4/10)
Nioh story is garbage tbh. plus i don't care for the characthers of that series unlike onimusha which had much better writing and characters.
"Let us celebrate one of Capcom's best franchises".
Onimusha was a great franchise. I wish they'd relaunch the franchise with a next gen entry. Until then though, I guess Sekiro is more than capable of filling the gap left by Onimusha.
Excellent game and I'm pissed we won't get a port of 2, 3, and Dawn of Dreams so I can get the platinum on them!
As part of the latest Capcom leaks, sales data for Okami HD was disclosed. Figures for each platform were revealed, which showed that the Switch version sold the best. More Capcom sales information has since leaked for three other releases: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Dragon’s Dogma, and Onimusha: Warlords’ HD version.
I love this game, brings back a lot of memories.
Still hoping and waiting they remake the original in true 1080p glory.
Hopefully the story will be a bit longer this time though...
This game was awesome. Second one was even better and expanded with multiple playable characters. Third one had a ridiculous famous french guy, but the gameplay was still solid as ever. Dawn of dreams was the worst of the series. The cutscenes these games used to have were pretty boss back in the day.
This game had the best end boss and ending out of the series. The third one had the best intro cinematic.

I do not see Cacpom returning to this series without bastardizing it the same way they did with Resident Evil. It would become an over the shoulder action game more simliar to metal gear rising and would be nothing like the original 1,2,3 so i couldn't give two shits whether not they return to it.
These games all were designed more for core gamers relying on item/mana management with the third person perspective. No way in hell Capcom is going to do a 180 and make these types of games again. It would actually be in their interest if the next gen consoles are expensive to do so but the execs at these companies are fucking clueless.
I'm pretty much done with capcom. Glad inafune and killian left them. Soul Sacrifice, while not perfect, was a great multiplayer game.
It's always surprising to think about how popular this series used to be in Japan a decade ago, and how it's fallen from the public eye entirely. Great series, though, for real.
Capcom really needs to revive this series! This series was by far my favorite during the PS2 era.
