Does /v/ like Onimusha?
Onimusha is the shit.
Anyone hyped for the HD collection later this year?
>>322267997
theres an hd collection?
>>322267997
>HD collection
Good luck with that
Thought I'd emulate the first one some day, I've never played them
Played the third one on PS2 years ago, enjoyed it for what it is. Would consider playing the first two at some point in time.
>>322267826
It was an ok time waster for its era. Nothing special.
>>322269018
If gonna play 1 play the xbox version
>>322267997
I hope this is true. I have the first three, tried dawn of dreams and promptly tossed it (I know it was a new system and gameplay, but I just wasn't in to it).
The fighting game worth much? It just looks kind of silly. Also posting husbando, I loved the item mechanic in 2, and always gave him the best items (though my first play through I got Ekei's route). I'll need to replay with a guide so I can max him.
>>322267826
I really liked the first one. Felt like a feudal era Resident Evil.
that new NioH game looks like a spiritual successor to it and I'm pretty hype for it.Fuck that doll
>>322269641
Actually upon closer inspection of that NIOH gameplay its literally Onimusha.
>those souls
>soul absorbing
>literally same sound effects for slashing.
>>322267826
Only played the first one, really loved it. The combat felt very satisfying i just wish you had more moves. Story and characters was on the forgettable side, the pre rendered graphics looked fucking gorgeous and so did the faces for the characters.
My favorite thing about the game was playing as Kaede, i got really disappointed when i finished the game and got a fucking panda suit instead of the option to play as her through the whole game.
Jubei a best
>>322269641
>>322269921
It looks like DoD
JUUUUUBEIIIIIIIIIAH HA HA HA HA HA
>>322269641
>>322269921
I want to be excited for Nioh but it's a Koei game, and they're shit at gameplay outside of when they have some other dev assisting them + their trailers never seem to be anything close to indicative of the actual final quality (lots of devs are like this but Koei seems especially guilty of it)
I just want an Onimusha HD Colection already man.
>>322267997
Fuck you, anon. Not fucking cute.
At least we have Ni-Oh.
I liked DoD
>>322267997
Don't toy with me anon.
>>322273762
I loved DoD.
>>322267826
Miss Onimusha is a more correct way of saying it.
>>322270798
Magoichi! Where did you take my girl?
How dare you disturb our time!
Together!
>>322270113
So you are the Jubei Yagyu who is master of the blade?
>>322268206
No, Capcom have said there's too many loopholes to jump through given that Kaneshiro and Reno (Plus the estate of the actor who played Jubei in 2. I can't remember his name off the top of my head, but he plays the Yakuza boss in Ridley Scott's Black Rain) get sales royalties from their likenesses being used. This tied with the fact that Onimusha got gradually less and less popular, they're basically not bothering ever reissuing them.
>>322275259
>>322270798
Onimusha 2 voice acting was so good
>>322268958
If you do, emulate Genma Onimusha if possible, that one is objectively the best version.
>>322275787
It hit that perfect spot of being goofy without being RE1 levels of ridiculous. Just like a cheesy old kung-fu movie dub. Absolutely spot-on.
>>322275845
No OG Xbox emulator, Anon.
That fucking doll.
I always tried to emulate Dawn of Dreams but it kept fucking with the audio or visuals. Is it actually any good?
>>322276662
I adore it. But no one else does.
>>322276852
What was so terrible about it? It looked like the only omnimusha game I would have played besides omnimusha tactics
/v/ can't handle my criticism of the control.
>>322276968
Are you the idiot who made the thread complaining about fixed cameras and tank controls, depite the fact that the two were designed to go together? If so, you had fuck-all argument to begin with.
>>322276948
I have no idea. Like I said, it's my favorite Onimusha game, so I really couldn't tell you. It's got some pretty hard boss fights, so maybe that's why?
But yeah, I love it. Music is fucking excellent, combat is better than it has ever been, and there's a whole lot of different weapons for all the characters. I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed it.
I know Onimusha came out of a scrapped version of RE4, but how on earth was that ever even considered? Was the T-virus meant to have an outbreak in a Japanese history museum or something?
I have that onimusha fighting game. Its like melee. Nobunaga is stupid broken and makes the final fight retarded hard. But it has megaman.exe in it as a playable character so fuck it mayn
>>322277956
The virus was in japan and you fight with a katana
>>322277971
Zero all day everyday
>>322275652
Is this also why the won't port it to modern systems?
>>322277956
>I know Onimusha came out of a scrapped version of RE4
That was DMC, and it was the other way around. You can tell from the castle environments in RE4. Onimusha was just fantasy action Resident Evil in feudal Japan. The only connection is has apart from that was Kamiya noticing the fact that you could juggle enemies which was the inspiration for the mechanic being a USP for DMC1.
>Doing missions with michelle on 3 and hearing her theme

I've played the first game and thought it was complete and utter shit. Gutted that I wasted $3 on it.
>>322277971
Was the best version of smash bros desu senpai
>>322278446
Almost certainly. Capcom do this all the time, they get a ton of third party IP material in their games and end up not being able to make it available later down the line due to expired licenses (ala Berserk gear in Dragon's Dogma) or never being able to publish it outside of Japan in the first place due to international copyright complications (e.g. all the extra content in MH4U that never made it across).
>>322267826
Gave my friend Onimusha Warlords for chrismas
He was really happy.
Don't know much about the series other than the fact that I've played Onimusha 3.
>>322278526
I loved those sections. Kind of like a more actiony classic Resident Evil.
>No faithful ninja gf

>>322279398
For the longest time, I wondered what the big deal was with Gargant at the beginning of Onimusha 3. He wasn't mentioned at all in Warlords or 2.
Then it turned out he'd kiled Kaede, off-screen. I remember it mentioning her dying in a battle under unspecified circumstances in the epilogue of Warlords, but what the fuck? Why was that important point never brought up? I can't even remember where it was mentioned in 3 or wherever it was, the whole thing was completely glossed over. It's bizarre.
>>322279750
This is shockingly wrong, sort yourself out.
>>322280141
It wasn't mentioned in 3. From what I remember, it's actually shown and explained in Blade Warriors.
Which is goddamn retarded, not only because it's a spin off game, but there are extreme circumstances for seeing story cutscenes in that game.
>>322280358
>it's actually shown and explained in Blade Warriors.
God fucking damn, that's unbelievable. And I distinctly remember playing through both Gargant and Kaede's scenarios and I never saw that explanation. What did you have to do for it to trigger?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8tOMsT1ohI
DoD had it's problems, but god DAMN this song is fucking GOAT. Mind you, I have no idea why they decided to make samanosuke this, but god damn...this theme is why I used Tenkai. It's like the equivalent of hearing the Mysterious Figure's remixed theme when fighting Young Xehanort in DDD.
Though, I will never forgive them for making the fucking Oni Gauntlet that Nobunaga was sealed in look like a cheap piece of plastic.
>>322270798
GOOOOOGANDANTESS
>>322280730
I remember the story paths typically requiring you play through the story multiple times with different characters in a certain order.
>>322276662
The only beef I had with it was that the cast just felt a lot more bland than in the previous games. Also, there's just a shitload of weapons, I kinda liked only having 1 per element that would actually take time to level up to the max. Other than that, it's a fun game. The different fighting styles are pretty funny.
>>322281146
NOBUNAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
>>322281146
>You will never have an honorable duel and rivalry with an ultra-camp hammy demon swordsman
I don't even know, man.
>>322281823
>that scene where Jubei says his name and title.
Onimusha 2 just slapped you with the feels when it wanted to.
>>322270113
I LOVE Onimusha 2, I had a heart attack the first time I collected all of the fossilized bones.
>>322282545
>I had a heart attack the first time I collected all of the fossilized bones.
What happens when you got them all? I never got all the luminous stones in Warlords either.
>>322267826
It's a pretty shitty series to be honest.
Beyond the whole "it's like I'm actually in a movie" bullshit with real actors being the faces/mocap for characters, it's just not very fun to play.
Onimusha 1-3 are just old school resident evil games but with swords. Issen is a fun mechanic but you don't ever have to bother when you can just button mash/use magic attacks and destroy everything and the movement/inventory stuff just doesn't work for an action game.
Onimusha 4 is actually somehow worse because they really badly tried to copy devil may cry but they didn't really and they also added tons of grinding and completely ruined what little there was to enjoy story/atmosphere wise of the original games.
onimusha 3 is the only one that's worth considering and that's entirely because of jean reno fighting demons & the CGI intro being pretty awesome
>>322283187
You unlock the signature "ultimate weapon" of the series, which decimates everything. You get it near the end so it's kind of pointless but still pretty fun.
>>322283328
I will say I think that ninja theory could've made a really awesome onimusha reboot instead of a DMC one
okay combat with really cinematic values/mocap is ninja theories entire thing and that's what made onimusha impressive back in 2002 or whatever
>>322283516
Wait, is that the Bishamon sword or the Rekka-Ken? I definitely got the second one, but that was from completing the Dark Realm. Same for the Bishamon sword in Warlords.
Now I really want to know what the luminous stones did. Fuck.
I must believe in the Oni......THEY WILL GUIDE ME!
I still get shivers.
>>322283779
>Samanosuke swearing a lot
>Nobunaga being a bald businessman
>Jubei shooting a pregnant demon in the stomach with a sniper rifle from a horse cart
>"I've got a bigger katana"
No thanks.
>>322284271
the reason you got embarasing shit like that is because ninja theory was trying to make a 'cool'/quip throwing character like dante and they have zero idea how to do that properly so you just get lots of awkward shit
there's no reason for them to make something like that for a samurai/fantasy story, they'd probably get serkis or whoever to write something like heavenly sword again
>>322269419
Is it even possible to emulate?
>>322273762
DoD Jubei was so cute
>>322284271
>I've got a bigger katana"
>>322284451
They'll either try and fail to replicate the goofy dubbed-kung-fu-movie feel or completely miss the point and make it grimdark with no respite. Even Warlords had dumb shit in it, like Osric.
>>322284116
I fucked up, the ultimate weapon for 2 was the Rekka-ken. The bones opened up a door with a black necklace. When you wear it, all of your hits trigger a critical at the cost of some healt, it was ridiculous.
>>322273614
God I hope this game is able to live up to the promise of the trailers.
>>322284451
I want to believe that. Still, it's not like I wouldn't laugh my ass off if they had rebooted Onimusha in that same trashy style. DmC gave me many moments of laughter that I will always cherish..
>>322284924
Wait, so auto-issen? That sounds ridiculously OP. Does it work on bosses? Because that would just break the game.
>>322285791
It does, They take a shitload of damage and was a pretty good way to kill Nobunaga on critical when he starts flying.
