TGL Replay: Onimusha Warlords

TheGamingLiberty.com:

"Why have Capcom abandoned the Onimusha franchise? As one of the industry’s biggest publishers, they have some of gaming’s most reputable, acclaimed and celebrated franchises on their books. Take a look at Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 if you want to see a detailed roster of their best characters from their greatest wares and commodities. Dante is in there. Ryu is too. Then there’s Viewitful Joe, Amaterasu and half the cast of Resident Evil. Yeah, Capcom almost have too many excellent game products at their disposal and while they continue to churn out new Street Fighters and new Resident Evils at a suspiciously freakish and frequent rate, they seem to have forgotten all about poor Onimusha in the process. I mean, Samanosuke Akechi didn’t even make it in MVC3? C’mon Capcom, what the hell is going on?"

I loved this game. It was my first PS2 game.

bacrec14662d ago

Dude where is the sequel. The third game was epic. The opening cut-scene would melt a normal mans face right off.

SwilloTGL4662d ago

This one is a classic! I wish Capcom would give it the reboot it so deserves

Rhezin4662d ago

I KNOW! ONIMUSHA 5 PLEASE!

moocho4662d ago

yeah please!!! Onimusha 1 & 3 where the best imho, and this serie is still one of my favourites. Each time there is a new "Secret game" from Capcom announced, I'm sure it's gonna be Onimusha 5, but it never is... :(

CrescentFang4662d ago

hehe, I watched my cousin go through this on the Xbox (that version was titled Genma Onimusha) and the f*cking doll they included in that scared the living crap out of me (I was a kid)... I don't remember if you can kill it, but if you can, it certainly would have taken a long time. Sadly I only beat 1 & 2 (I didn't like 2 at first because it didn't have Samanosuke, but it grew to be my favorite) and i don't own 3 or 4. My of my favorite series :)

Go And Vote For Onimusha In Capcom's Survey, This Gem Deserves As Much

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."

H973d ago

I don't know man, Onimusha for modern audiences doesn't sound like a good idea

badboyz0973d ago

Loved the Onimusha series on my ps2 just as much as DmC.

shinoff218373d ago

Hell naw. I voted for breath of fire. It's thr best choice imo.

Please vote breath of fire.

CrimsonWing6973d ago

Breath of Fire 3 got my vote. 3 and 4 are glorious games to me, but I could only pick one.

Unknown_Gamer579473d ago (Edited 73d ago )

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.

SimpleSlave73d ago

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!

Capcom Looks to Revive Dormant Franchises

Capcom is looking to bring back some of its dormant franchises, according to recent investor relations communications.

gangsta_red709d ago

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

Atom666709d ago

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.

kevco33708d ago

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.

Bobertt708d ago

Asura's Wrath had a good ending no need to change it to make a sequel.

Knightofelemia709d ago (Edited 709d ago )

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.

CobraKai708d ago

I’d love a Saturday Night Slam Masters and Onimusha.

RauLeCreuset708d ago

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.

Omegasyde708d ago

Would love a 2nd Dragons Dogma!
Very underrated game.

babadivad708d ago

This is the correct answer. I'm playing both games on my Xbox and forgot how insanely fun those games were.

sourOG708d ago

So many good memories with this game. I don’t know how I would like it these days.

babadivad708d ago

I can confirm, they are still a ton of fun.

sourOG708d ago

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?

gangsta_red1879d ago

Excellent selection of games. Capcom has such a gold mine of IPs to bring back.

blackbeld1879d ago (Edited 1879d ago )

They should bring back Street Fighter EX from ps2. A remake should be awesome!

darthv721878d ago

Viewtiful Joe and Lost planet would be good little series to resurrect.

chris2351879d ago

I don‘t want freaking revivals. I want them to make an effort and take some risk.

isarai1879d ago

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)

DrumBeat1879d ago

Saturday Night Slam (lol) Masters.
