| Kyuu said: I thought Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a reboot of sorts. Happy to learn it's a sequel :') Onimusha was my first bought PS2 game, I got it a few days before the console itself. I would eventually get all 5 Onimusha games on PS2 close to their release + Genma on Xbox. I barely had the time to play Genma which had major changes and improvements, a shame Capcom chose to remaster Warlords instead. What were they thinking?... another lost code? Anyways, my favorite soundtracks that I can recall:
SPOILERS BELOW!! All my ships sunk in this goddamned series, cruel writers. Samanosuke/Tenkai X Ako/Arin ain't happening either but I loved their sweet dynamic as it was. I hope Samanosuke isn't dead yet and Akane and Ako will be present in the new game. I can't believe this series is really back. Praise Capgods! |
+1 on everything here. From the new Onimusha taking the road of the sequel, even if it just acknowledges the previous events without them playing to much into it, to the weird choice Capcom made with which version of they original they remastered. Maybe they lost the source code for that version or something.
I started with 3 and went backwards. What stuck with me is how every game that sprung up from Capcom experimenting with Resident Evil had the emphasis on atmosphere stick with it. My young self was expecting a much more arcade-y experience but between the combat pacing, camera angles and music, I got a very different experience, in a great way.
This series is also the reason I was semi-obsessed with Nioh during its troubled development as it sounded like the closest thing to Onimusha.
What exactly happened with the Another Code remaster? I did not pay attention to it but I came across a video that mentioned it kind of skipped content.
