Perhaps coming somewhere near the top of lists that could be titled ‘Defining series of the PS2 era’ as much as ‘Forgotten games of the PS2 era’ Onimusha Warlords, the first game in a series of 6 was one of the big early releases of the PS2 and has recently been given the remastered treatment on the PS4.
Capcom is looking to bring back some of its dormant franchises, according to recent investor relations communications.
Capcom, may I suggest Asura's Wrath...less QTEs
God Hand
Dino Crisis
Rival Schools
Darkstalkers
Seriously, Capcom has such an incredible history. they could bring back so many games and make it work
That new dino game made me lose hope on a new Dino Crisis.
I'll never understand why we haven't seen a new Darkstalkers, either.
Capcom seems to have tried to find an audience for Darkstalkers several times - with guest appearances and digital re-releases etc. - but if there's simply not enough interest they won't invest in a new game.
I am all down for Dino Crisis if they don't botch it, Breath of Fire would also be great, Onimusha, I am all down for Final Fight, Knights of the Round, Saturday Night Slam Masters, Darkstalkers, Clock Tower, and a decent Bionic Commando. I'd also like to see Demons Crest and a decent Ghouls and Ghosts game one thing I like about Capcom is their library of games. Capcom was another developer I really loved back in the day, along with Konami before they flipped off the gaming world, Squaresoft also use to be good as well.
I'm with both of you on Slam Masters. One of the best wrestling games ever made. Think Street Fighter in a wrestling ring, for those unfamiliar.
This is the correct answer. I'm playing both games on my Xbox and forgot how insanely fun those games were.
Word. My memories are more about the people I was playing with rather than the game itself lol. I remember having a blast swinging around and chucking shit at people though. Was there any single player content?
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!
Always like this series more that Devil May Cry. I wish it got more exposure.
