Drew Leachman writes: The From A to Z series lets our editors go back and take a look at games from past generations that are classics, overlooked gems, or just titles they remember fondly. The idea behind this is to pick five games from each letter of the alphabet, once a week to showcase. This delivers 26 weeks and 130 games to talk about. Hopefully it sparks some conversation, and of course plenty of memories.
Our second series will focus on Sony’s sophomore entry into the console business, the PlayStation 2.
Let’s continue with the letters “N and O”.
A new Okami Shiranui Nendoroid has moved closer to the production phase. Max Factory has confirmed a June 2022 launch and opened pre-orders.
From Xfire: "Sports games are the average Joe's best chance at getting to play under the big bright lights with thousands of people in the stands watching their every move. It doesn't matter if you're a hoops junkie or a baseball fan, sports video games let you live out your hopes and dreams."
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.
