New Onimusha game is 'worth considering' admits Capcom and Resident Evil 7 producer

CAPCOM and Resident Evil 7 Producer Masachika Kawata discusses a potential return for cult PS2 classic Onimusha: Warlords.

[Nyxus]

Do it!

[naruga]

if they plan to make a fisrt-person garbage with obnoxious families and japanese hillibilies inside ...thanks BUT NO...Capcom imo lost any talent left to remake or sequel these brilliant games of PS1/2 era

[trooper_]

That wasn't even a legitimate statement to make.

[CorndogBurglar]

Could you be any more butt-hurt that RE7 is successful?

Get over it. You are in the minority. People love RE7.

[cerpintaxt44]

have you played REmake? and dont insult 7 when the garbage piles of 6 and 5 exist. at least they are going back to horror

[rainslacker]

yeah, because that would fit really well into the Onimusha universe.

[trooper_]

Yes!

And bring Onimusha 1, 2, and 3 as remasters!

[AnubisG]

That would be awesome. If they remastered them like they did RE1 than that would be amazing.

[Lord_Sloth]

........Failure to mention 4....

[trooper_]

^

4 too. I forgot that one.

[CorndogBurglar]

I would literally give one of my middle nuts for a new Onimusha.

[chrisx]

Worth considering? Just take a look at NIOH to see that this kind of games have a lot of fans worldwide. Bring back onimusha!

[mynameisdon]

Onimusha warlords was my favorite Onimusha, take a few pointers from nioh but keep your own identity and good

[_-EDMIX-_]

In my personal opinion I don't want the next onimusha taking any pointers from Nioh.

I think it's an absolutely amazing game don't get me wrong but Capcom has done a good job with 4 onimushas and quite frankly I want the next onimusha being like the last 4, not chasing another game.

[Rhezin]

Exactly my feelings! Don't try to reinvent Onimusha, Capcom!!!

[Nyxus]

Agreed. Onimusha needs to be its own thing.

[Tussin187]

Yes, minus the tank controls though. It's been soooo long but it had tank controls like Resident Evil didn't it?

[Princess_Pilfer]

Onimusha 1 (and maybe 2) had tank controls. 3 definitely didn't, and I didn't even know there was a 4 but I assume it didn't.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Princess- I don't believe dawn of Dreams had tank controls.

[Relientk77]

So make it

[Nyxus]

Also, make Devil May Cry 5 while you're at it.

[Relientk77]

And a real Breath of Fire sequel, and bring MegaMan back.

[chrisx]

And also a new Dino Crisis

[Overload]

Patience.

[silvacrest]

So many good franchises mostly ignored by capcom, weird

[Perjoss]

And also a new Power Stone

[Tussin187]

And make a proper Monster Hunter sequel for this gen.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Thank God

They saw Nioh sales lol

[MoveTheGlow]

Yep! I'm glad Nioh's finally lighting a fire under Capcom's butts. Games set in Japan, and games about ancient Japan, are totally freaking welcome in games, and it's been missing for a while!

[silvacrest]

NiOH is probably the only reason this is coming up now but i dont care, love onimusha

[roboteye]

They totally missed the boat with making a Dark Souls style Onimusha game, but with Nioh now it's kinda too late for that.

[Princess_Pilfer]

Why would I want a dark souls style onimusha? I want an Onimusha style Onimusha.

[Movefasta1993]

a decade later and the best onimusha news we get is= 'worth considering'. Screw capcom.

[feraldrgn]

Don't let your dreams be dreams.

[DafunkyRebel]

Dawn of Dreams

[opinionated]

Damn right it is.

[greywolf39]

JUUUUUST DOOOO IIIIT. To me it was one of the best franchises on the legendary Ps2. I dont understand why there was no onimusha to this day

[Hozi]

Crapcom you asshats should have listened to me for the past 3 years!!!! telling you to make Onimusha 5....but no! you wait for Ni-OH to come out and mash up the place!!!! Maybe you should just sell the rights to Onimusha to Tecmo-Koei.

[greywolf39]

Make onimusha we all know and love. Dont go dark souls or nioh. Make an Action badass game. I want that feel of being badass that onimusha had. Remember demon mode of Samanosuke in Onimusha 1 and 3? Or How badass Soki was?

[Movefasta1993]

Soki was a beast.Dawn of Dreams was amazing!

[trooper_]

I loved Dawn of Dreams.

[kevnb]

make it ps4 exclusive, it probably wouldnt sell much on xbox anyway.

[Princess_Pilfer]

Why. What possible good can come from making 3rd party games exclusive? It's just stopping people who would have played it from being able to play it.

[Kreisen]

We just had one, its called NIOH! All joking aside i would love to see a proper sequel, i used to be a huge fan.

[CrimsonWing69]

No SH*T!!! We fans have only been saying that for 2 gens.

[Fishy Fingers]

NiOH might of already stole some of your thunder but I'm sure there's still plenty of appetite for a new one.

[TheGoodestBoi]

Do it!, https://www.youtube.com/sha...

[DaFeelz]

While you're at it, why don't you consider a new Dragons Dogma?

[opinionated]

Yes!

[datriax]

Make a real Resident Evil while you're at it. I know it's asking a lot of the inept staff left working at Capcom these days, but..... give it a try at least.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Oh so now that Nioh is successful, you finally want to take another look at Onimusha. Ffs Capcom.

[Shinox]

Yeah .. i can guarantee you it will happen 100% and soon .. that Nioh greatness shakes Capcom headquarters to the point that we may also see William appear in Onimusha which is crazy , a collab between Capcom and Koei-Temco is highly expected with this game .

[BassMan125]

An Onimusha remasters beforehand for warming up the crowd would be nice.

[ZombieKiller]

I hate to say this with all the remasters out there but I would love to see The first 3 Onimusha games remastered so I can play them all again on PS4. PLEASE Capcom, make a sequel to Onimusha. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Bring back Jean Reno! That guy looks like my dad no lie. When I played the 3rd one I told him he was in his own game haha

[Einhander1971]

Ps2 games were and are still great have originals on my ps2:) remastered from the ground up for ps4 or new story would be great. Can't understand why we never had an onimusha on the PS3 era yet alone PS4.

[King_Lothric]

After the amazing success of Nioh, they should consider rebooting the franchise.

[The-rain-maker]

If it can be a PS4 exclusive! It would be amazing! It's not That i don't want it on Xbox , it's just when it's a exclusive 9 out of 10 it's just a better game. Hate me if you want but the Xbox does hold back the PS4. Exclusive games on PS4 in general always set the bar to new heights.

[alb1899]

Do it exclusive for the Scorpio so the developers can use all the power of the monster!! :)

[Lime123]

Did you call PS4 a monster since it's 50% more powerful than Xbox One?

[DragonDDark]

PLEASE

[DafunkyRebel]

Just don't give it the same Devil May Cry remake treatment otherwise there will be hell to pay.

[DafunkyRebel]

Seriously though the Onimusha series is done, the story is finish and wrapped up there's really nothing they can add to it unless it takes place in the future or say a prequel about the Oni-Genma wars

[houyi111]

oh... please please and please

[andrewsquall]

Nope, just remaster 2nd game. That is all I want.

[Rhezin]

FINALLY!!!! Hopefully it's not another Dark Soul's clone. Keep to the original formula. i.e. 1-3.

[-Gespenst-]

It could so easily be a Souls / Nioh type game. I'd prefer something more like the originals though.

[Silly gameAr]

Yes, do it.

[zodiac909]

I CAN FEEL THE E3 HYPE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hroach616]

That would be sick!

[GamePeace]

After they saw Nioh's success they consider Onimusha? What retards. First they have left a lot of original from them obsolete, emarginated the Monster Hunter series from the PS brand, left the development of Lost Planet and a new DMC to western companies (and failed) tried to copy the success and formula of Pokemon with Monster Hunter Stories (and failed), copied P.T. with Resident Evil 7 (although it has been well-received, it can't match the quality of RE 1, 2, 3, 4 and even 5, so another fail by them) and now they want to copy Nioh's success (probably financial success) with a new Onimusha? FU Capcom! Money-hungry ...

[mynameisdon]

I have a question fir any nioh owners, can you take off the Japanese symbols everytime you hit a enemy or get hit? Just a question.

[hot4play]

Cinematic camera angles + PSVR support please!

[KryptonKronos]

I say do what should of been done years ago. Onimusha was the sole reason i even bought Nioh this year. I absolutely loved Onimusha 1-3 until it all went to shit. Capcom just proved they can bring a good original back to life rather than slowly kill it all the time. If they have the right people and the use of influence from titles such as souls and the re birth of Team Ninja, then bam you have a gold mine to work with. I'm still waiting for Onimusha to be released on the back hand of the PS4 (PS2 classic section.) Capcom have everything to gain from this if done right.

[brando008]

Awesome!! I really hope they port the classics to ps4 so I can enjoy Onimusha
