Could one of Capcom's biggest franchises finally make its grand return?
Onimusha has had a number of notable producers and directors over the years, including former Capcom head of production Keiji Inafune and current Capcom head of production Jun Takeuchi. But another name involved with the series is Yoshinori Ono, who happens to also be Capcom's main Street Fighter producer. Ono stopped by IGN's offices recently, and they had a chance to ask if fans could expect Onimusha to return.
Hanzala from eXputer says, "Onimusha deserves a proper Resident Evil-style comeback as much as the other Capcom gems, and I'm glad they might get the chance after all."
Hell naw. I voted for breath of fire. It's thr best choice imo.
Please vote breath of fire.
Breath of Fire 3 got my vote. 3 and 4 are glorious games to me, but I could only pick one.
I did vote for a Breath of Fire 1-3 remake in the remake section, and it was one of my three choices in series I wish would make a comeback.
Why, though? With Nioh, Sekiro, and every other From Software game with a Samurai build in it, what's the point? The lore? Was it really so unique and interesting that it warrant this "beg Capcom" movement Capcom keeps telling us we need to do all these years? Fudge no. Either make a game or don't but stop this "fans need to game beg or else" bs.
Take Castlevania for example. What's the point in a new entry? From Software literally gave us the entire plotline in Bloodborne with Cainhurst Castle and then some. They also let you play as a Belmont/Alucard build in most of their other games so a new Castlevania is not warranted. Now, if Konami wants to do something, sure, but otherwise? I ain't begging. I'm good actually.
These companies are ran by idiots, that's for sure. Read the market. See the games that are coming out that people are loving and if you have an old IP that fits the bill? Well? Do something about it ya goofs! Otherwise? Let the IP go to the public domain. Trust me, bro. The internet will do a far better job - and worst - than you ever will with all these dormant or dead IPs.
Some Indie devs are even making Dino Crisis like games and people are excited for it. And what is Capcom doing? Sending surveys...FFS!
Get the fudge out of here Crap.com
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?
Chris at GameSpew: Now that Devil May Cry 5 is here, here are five other Capcom games that we'd love to see revived.
Excellent selection of games. Capcom has such a gold mine of IPs to bring back.
I'm still completely baffled as to why Steel Battalion has not been ported to VR.
I would like to see:
-Beatdown fists of Vengeance
-GODHAND
-Viewtiful Joe (even if just a remaster)
Indeed, and when it gets announced as a PS3 exclusive, it will be a great day. But first, give us an HD Onimusha Collection.
Phoenix Down.
"There should be ways to expand upon what we've done while involving the community more. Perhaps implement some sort of multiplayer into a game like that. "
you gotta give credit to Ono. It's Ono's generation, while Takeuchi is kinda just out there doing something or nothing.
O yes please do!! FINALLY CAPCOM!!
