I wonder what the gameplay style will be, old style or more like Onimusha 4?

Between this and Okami, I just need Capcom to bring back Breath of Fire and I'll forgive them for all those lean years.
I have never played an Onimusha game, but the series always looked really cool to me. Like Resident Evil mixed with Samurai Action and Japanese celebrities.
Fucking awesome, hopefully they don't bugger it up chasing the modern audience.
Onimusha, I'm there day 1, I KNEW Capcom was working on something Onimusha related when they released that anime on Netflix in preparation.

I'm a huge Onimusha fan, so this is Day 1 for me.

Amazing reveal, Capcom hitting all the PS2 era vibes with their lineup, Western Developers need to take notes

The first God of War games are a shitty rip-off of Onimusha. There, I said it. Onimusha rules.
Selfishly that's perfect for me. Will land neatly between my first kid being old enough to not need quite so constant attention, and when we're planning on a second.

Honestly, first kid early may be the best time, so.many naps, plus they don't even know what a TV is, so they don't get glued to it, good times

Play the remaster of the first game, Onimusa: Warlords. It's on all modern platforms.
I've seen comments online criticizing the remaster but I played it last year and it was everything I remembered of the PS2 game. Maybe someone else knows what the complaints are.
Fun fact, the guy who did the OST was that fraud composer & ghostwriter duo who did RE Director's Cut Dual Shock Edition. Onimusha actually has a good OST but it does have some goofy melodies at times. It was rerecorded for the remaster but I'm not sure if it was drastically changed. I also played Genma Onimusha for XBOX around the same time so everything kind of blurs.
The opening cutscene was freaking mind blowing at release. It still looks damn good in 2024.
Onimusha and Dino Crisis are the forgotten series, especially DC. Everything is about Resident Evil now.

Onimusha 1 and 2 have been amazing back on ps2. I loved opening the treasure chests with the puzzles. Some of them have been really tough.
Then they released 3 with Jean Reno and it was significantly worse IMO. the other newer ones I didn't play.
Hope this one goes straight back into 1 / 2 territory.

Seeing all the advancements in Capcoms engine... That game could look extremely good. Can't wait for gameplay!

Especially if they use the REengine path-traced mode with a proper denoise routine!
Which would be awesome, but not very likely imo. Capcom has a rather sketchy RT track record. RE4 for example, so bad that even I turned the RT reflections off. Best (vanilla) RT from Capcom so far is DD2, that has some RT lighting, which looks good but not awesome tbh.

What even does RT do in RE4?
I've replayed most of the game with it on and I honestly can't really tell.
There are RT reflections, but they're noisy and bad. And they only apply to a very limited amount of surfaces, like puddles. Not even to actual water in the lake, no RT on any metals, no RT on glass etc. Making it totally pointless and dumb. Super incompetent implementation.
