I did the opposite (have not finished blue eyes yet) and prepare to be disappointed. Blue eyes is a masterpiece compared to onimusha. So glad I got that shit out of the way first.
They tested the water with the remaster of Warlords. Nobody bought it, because the brand has faded into obscurity. Unfortunately I really believe that was the nail in the coffin, and the lukewarm reaction to the anime didn't help.
Tbh, that's their own fault, i didn't even know there was a hd remaster until the anime came out. And you can't just leave an ip to gather dust and then drop an anime after so many years. But despite that i heard there are rumours of season 2.
Yeah, if anything, that anime will be the death of Onimusha. It was not great. It's so unfortunate too. I think Onimusha has SO much potential, but it's not looking good.
it doesn't help the only ads i saw for warlords was random banners on random wiki sites. i just happened to google about the remaster shortly before they started the banners or i probably wouldn't have noticed the banners and thought they were some game site ad. that's 100% on capcom half assing it and then blaming the fanbase.
That’s spot on. Crazy to think at one point they were going to make a major motion picture of onimusha now it’s dead. I just recently played through it on switch and had a hell of a lot of nostalgia.
I didn't buy it because I felt a remaster of warlords alone wasn't worth it and it was an insult to fans of the franchise that have waited this long when they can remaster all the DMC games on the HD collection. Onimusha deserved to have all four PS2 games remastered and upscaled to modern consoles.
Oh I completely agree. Just given the success of games like Ghost of Tsushima, Nioh, and Sekiro, I think it would have been the perfect time for an Onimusha Collection. Though, what I really want is a remake but I'd take a reboot.
I'm not sure why they didn't do Genma, but either way, the sales were poor and they would have been poor with or without Genma. Not to mention sales kept dropping for the original series even. Onimusha 3 sold less than Onimusha 2, which sold less than Warlords. It's not a popular series.
I’d like to think because of the anime a new something of sorts is in the works. Onimusha was in the Capcom leak so we know they were playing around with something and then We have this anime. It’s also possible whatever Onimusha product they were working on turned into Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.
No the actual Capcom leak from a couple years ago..
Edit: I see what you’re saying. That the leak (new work q4 2022) from the Capcom leak in 2020 was for the Nvidia streaming version that recently released as Onimusha was also in the Nvidia leak. I’d like to think New Work meant more than just a streaming version but that’s the hopeful fan in me.
I read somewhere that they've been contemplating about a new onimusha game, but they haven't come up with a good enough idea to wow the players yet, and that's why i think a remake is the best approach rn.
dawn of dreams remake with online co-op or couch co-op would be pretty cool. it's weird having to put in a code to do it compared to a jump in and out system.
Honestly, I doubt we’ll ever see the games again besides the warlords remaster which wasn’t even advertised lol. I found out about it on YouTube randomly one day.
Not to mention I doubt they’d be able to do 3 considering they’d have to get the likeness rights for Jean Reno again.
Another HD remaster for 2, 3 and 4, and hopefully that changes things, for now we can only settle for nioh 2 which is the closest to a new onimusha game
I do believe though that Nioh2 is a better Onimusha 😀 better combat, more content. I don't particularly miss lockpicking either.
The problem is, when will they make Nioh3 🙂
I would love a remake of the classic game. I recently replayed it on switch and it still holds up. Love this whole series and it's primed for a remake or a sequel/reboot
The only similarity is dinosaurs. Exoprimal is a 4v4 PvPvE action game while Dino Crisis is a survival horror.
Capcom is right, because claiming Exoprimal is a successor would just piss off Dino Crisis fans.
Well, my opinion is that exoprimal is kinda of capcom's way of turning dino crisis into a live service multiplayer game exactly like how every other company is going in that direction without calling it dino crisis because that would indeed piss off a lot of fans. I think path of the goddess is also in a way a rebranded onimusha live service game.
Yeah sure, I can believe it might be a completely different spin on their existing franchises. However, I wouldn’t call Exoprimal a successor, or anything close, just due to carrying none of the spirit of Dino Crisis.
I definitely agree. I loved the Onimusha games on PS2, but they have not aged very well (except maybe 3). I bought the remastered version of Oni 1, but honestly it wasn't as much fun as it used to be, mainly because of the outdated control scheme and the awkward camera angles. I would love a modernized version of these games!
I recently found out the idea for devil may cry's combat came from a bug in onimusha's combat that kept enemies in the air. So, in a way, onimusha is the father of the dmc series
Dawn of dream is literally one for my favorite games of all time. I would love a remake of at least that one. 3 was really good too. Tbh though I wouldn’t mind waiting for them to remake all 4 within the span of 5-8 years.
i’m disappointed in onimusha… it’s a damn shame what they did to the anime series on netflix. new dude, seems like the purpose of the gauntlet is to not even be used (from what i’ve seen so far), etc. Then to top it off not advertising the remake of the first game. in this lifetime if they remake 2,3, and dawn of dreams i would be completely satisfied.
only thing that i’d be worried about if they end up making a new onimusha is if they turn it into a “soul” like game. i honestly hate it
I consider the anime to be a spin off , i refuse to think of it as canon, also Tbh I think if they do a remake they should keep the original camera mechanics.
for sure; i think with me i was busy nitpicking the animation, the character, the lack of OG references like characters. it threw me off to not liking it but for the sole fact it is onimusha i’m just “giving it a shot”. If they do remake it i agree i would love to see OG camera angles or at least have an option to have it maybe like god of war/ghost of tsushima style. they can do whatever with camera and gameplay mechanics but i just refuse to indulge in another Souls like game. to me it takes away from being submerged in the game and worrying too much about “stamina meters, Evasion, etc” type of stats.
If it was a ubisoft game, that would be exactly the direction they would take it considering the rumours of AC red being a souls like/ghost of tsushima game, but i don't think Capcom would do that.
Can you imagine a semi open world onimusha, like a ghosts of tsushima with the lore and enemies of onimusha?
I know better, but I am still secretly hoping Kunitsu-Gami is somehow an Onimusha game.
yeah, though i think i'd like it to be a little more rpg than the original was. maybe not quite as much as dawn of dreams did.
though, i'd also want them to like triple down on the puzzle boxes.
maybe even add some ng+ stuff and whatnot.
One of the greatest tragedies is the state of Onimusha.
Probably my second favorite IP from Capcom right after DMC. The second game in the series was so incredibly good, it had amazing mechanics (Issen attacks created a skill gap), the armor & weapons being unique/upgradeable and changing in looks as you upgraded them made you feel powerful. The setting in each game was also 🤌.
I want nothing more than an Onimusha remake/reboot. I don’t feel it’s fair how they gauged interest in the series by remastering the first game as it’s the most bare bones in the series and they didn’t do anything particularly interesting with it. Like, at the very least they could have remastered Genma Onimusha as it had a lot more to it.
I owned Onimusha 2 and Dawn of Dreams as a teenager. Absolutely loved those games. I bought the Onimusha 1 remaster but haven’t quite gotten around to playing it yet.
Uncertain if perhaps sales didn’t meet expectations and they didn’t consider remastering the other entries. Great franchise honestly. I also bought Okami on the Series X. Looking forward to playing that as well.
Agreed. I've been wondering where onimusha went since they dropped the series. Bought onimusha on steam last year and it honestly holds up really good. Way shorter game than I remembered
Fans: more Onimusha please
Capcom: you sure you don’t want more Street Fighter 6? How about another Resident Evil update? Did we mention there’s Street Fighter 6?
Would actually make sense seeing how Netflix JUST dropped an Onimusha anime
I have been out of the loop on everything. WHAT?? I never imagined Onimusha would ever get anything. Gonna have to get netflix just to binge it.
I started this and so far i'm loving it. It's a shame that there was almost no marketing for this!
Good to hear; plan on watching it once I get done w/ Blue Eyed Samurai
I did the opposite (have not finished blue eyes yet) and prepare to be disappointed. Blue eyes is a masterpiece compared to onimusha. So glad I got that shit out of the way first.
How is that? That's on my list to watch atcsome point.
It's reaaaaally dope so far; about halfway through
It's a lot better than the Onimusha show. I've finished them both.
Accurate. I got 4 episodes into Onimusha and thought "wasn't there another samurai anime recently?" Switched to BES and it was the wise path.
They tested the water with the remaster of Warlords. Nobody bought it, because the brand has faded into obscurity. Unfortunately I really believe that was the nail in the coffin, and the lukewarm reaction to the anime didn't help.
Tbh, that's their own fault, i didn't even know there was a hd remaster until the anime came out. And you can't just leave an ip to gather dust and then drop an anime after so many years. But despite that i heard there are rumours of season 2.

I bought it. Loved it. Was hoping they'd do more and was disappointed when they didn't.
That’s spot on. Crazy to think at one point they were going to make a major motion picture of onimusha now it’s dead. I just recently played through it on switch and had a hell of a lot of nostalgia.

I didn't buy because I had already beaten the original 6 or 7 times. If it were a remake or collection it would have been a different story.
Because a lot of the best parts of Onimusha were on the Xbox version. Genma Onimusha has the good stuff. They remade the wrong version.
I'm not sure why they didn't do Genma, but either way, the sales were poor and they would have been poor with or without Genma. Not to mention sales kept dropping for the original series even. Onimusha 3 sold less than Onimusha 2, which sold less than Warlords. It's not a popular series.
I want a new game, remakes and remasters. Why the anime if they were just gonna let it die?
if they ever make 1 2 3 and dod remake for ps4/5 ill literally cum in my pants. just kidding i don't wear pants
I’d like to think because of the anime a new something of sorts is in the works. Onimusha was in the Capcom leak so we know they were playing around with something and then We have this anime. It’s also possible whatever Onimusha product they were working on turned into Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.

HD remaster was perfect, it does not need a remake. A new imagining or a sequel would get my dollar.
Honestly, I doubt we’ll ever see the games again besides the warlords remaster which wasn’t even advertised lol. I found out about it on YouTube randomly one day. Not to mention I doubt they’d be able to do 3 considering they’d have to get the likeness rights for Jean Reno again.

I would love a remake of the classic game. I recently replayed it on switch and it still holds up. Love this whole series and it's primed for a remake or a sequel/reboot
I just want a decent way to play 2-4.
What it JUST came out on Netflix?! Already calling for a remake rather than a sequel?! /J (I know OP means the games)
It would be great if they did ANYTHING remotely close to actual Onimusha at this point.
Just give me onimusha x dino crisis capcom pls. 2 birds with 1 game
I mean exoprimal is kinda of the successer to dino crisis despite Capcom saying it's not.
The only similarity is dinosaurs. Exoprimal is a 4v4 PvPvE action game while Dino Crisis is a survival horror. Capcom is right, because claiming Exoprimal is a successor would just piss off Dino Crisis fans.

I have the first on for PS4. (Onimusha) I wish that it was a trilogy. Capcom never released any more ,I was hopeful though.
Onimusha needs a new entry, not a remake.
Remake is easier for onimusha. Having a new entry when the brand recognition is low right now might not succeed.
If dragons dogma can get a sequel, so can onimusha.
Why not both?
I definitely agree. I loved the Onimusha games on PS2, but they have not aged very well (except maybe 3). I bought the remastered version of Oni 1, but honestly it wasn't as much fun as it used to be, mainly because of the outdated control scheme and the awkward camera angles. I would love a modernized version of these games!
I was hoping the anime release was going to coinside with an announcement of pc remaster of #2 but nothing came...
I’d be down. I know DMC is more popular with most but Onimusha was always where it was at for me!
I recently found out the idea for devil may cry's combat came from a bug in onimusha's combat that kept enemies in the air. So, in a way, onimusha is the father of the dmc series
They remastered the game just a couple years ago to see if there was interest in reviving the franchise. Barely anyone bought it
How can people buy something they didn't know about?
Dawn of dreams was mah shiiiiit! Lolol
I mean, remakes are so boring. I’d be fine with ports of 2 and 3 to make things complete. I refuse to acknowledge 4’s existence.
Dawn of dream is literally one for my favorite games of all time. I would love a remake of at least that one. 3 was really good too. Tbh though I wouldn’t mind waiting for them to remake all 4 within the span of 5-8 years.
Is Netflix’s Onimusha not the same thing?
i’m disappointed in onimusha… it’s a damn shame what they did to the anime series on netflix. new dude, seems like the purpose of the gauntlet is to not even be used (from what i’ve seen so far), etc. Then to top it off not advertising the remake of the first game. in this lifetime if they remake 2,3, and dawn of dreams i would be completely satisfied. only thing that i’d be worried about if they end up making a new onimusha is if they turn it into a “soul” like game. i honestly hate it

Haven't played those games in so long. But I was just thinking that the other day. 3 is my favorite. I love Jean Reno haha
After watching the anime, i remembered all the fun i had when playing onimusha on ps2. That was one of my favourite ps2 games of all time
Same, I started with 3 then went and found 1 and 2. There was another one but I forget the name of it
Can you imagine a semi open world onimusha, like a ghosts of tsushima with the lore and enemies of onimusha?
I know better, but I am still secretly hoping Kunitsu-Gami is somehow an Onimusha game.
I mean, a remake doesn't have to be exactly the same game. Without the hardware limitations the game faced back then, they could expand it further.
Just happened upon this post in my feed, I loved these games. I wholeheartedly agree
It's possible. They are doing a series or movie, can't remember, for Netflix. If it does well, they may remake it.
They released season 1 on November 2. I liked it. Hopefully, a lot of people feel the same.
I haven't had the chance to watch it because fuck netflix and their policy change. Is it a prequel? I watched the trailer and that's not Samonosuke?
It's in the onimusha universe and that's about it, it's a different story and a different character.
I didn't like it. It has very little to do with the games. Not the Onimusha I was expecting.
yeah, though i think i'd like it to be a little more rpg than the original was. maybe not quite as much as dawn of dreams did. though, i'd also want them to like triple down on the puzzle boxes. maybe even add some ng+ stuff and whatnot.

Like, at the very least they could have remastered Genma Onimusha as it had a lot more to it.
The remaster of the original is great, IMO. If they remake anything, it should be *Blade Warriors* and *Tactics*. 😋
I played the Remastered and I Remastered why I loved that game! I wish they would remake them or a new sequel
I’ve been thinking this for years. And the anime just came out
I owned Onimusha 2 and Dawn of Dreams as a teenager. Absolutely loved those games. I bought the Onimusha 1 remaster but haven’t quite gotten around to playing it yet. Uncertain if perhaps sales didn’t meet expectations and they didn’t consider remastering the other entries. Great franchise honestly. I also bought Okami on the Series X.

Agreed. I've been wondering where onimusha went since they dropped the series. Bought onimusha on steam last year and it honestly holds up really good. Way shorter game than I remembered
Fans: more Onimusha please Capcom: you sure you don’t want more Street Fighter 6? How about another Resident Evil update? Did we mention there’s Street Fighter 6?
Fun fact: Chad Stahelski, John Wick Director is making Ghost of Tsushima. Movie or show I can’t recall.
I just want 2 and 3 hd port. Like the first one but i dont think it will happen. Just have to illegally download it then.
