Probably fast too. Delivering on time will get you more projects than the studio working on a delayed game or still adding features and dlc.

It's been a long while since i played the games (when they first came out) but i honestly never had a problem with their controls.Also i don't remember the controls of Onimusha 3 being any different either.
Yeah but PSM speaks about a Capcom game. :/
Jubei was based on a real actor?
Or they could outsource Versus instead lol.
This. It's probably barely the same studio as when they made Legendary. They'd also be working with Capcom.
IMO it's too early to be so dismissive. Operation Raccoon City and Dead Rising 2 were both made in collaberation with western studios, one of them was good and the other was not.
Just wait and see. I'm cautiously optimistic.
It was indeed the case that 3 was the first to use free range of movement (press the stick to go this way or that way), as opposed to the tank controls of 1 and 2.

Yeah but people also didn't believe GRIN was working on Final Fantasy.

So Lost Planet 3 will somehow manage to be worse than Lost Planet 2? That's quite an accomplishment.
Congratulations, Spark.

Ok i need to play the games again.
I'm surprised i didn't knew that especially since Onimusha 2 was my favourite in the series.Was this information always known?I'm sure i must have read the wikipedia article in the past...
It's been known since before the game's release, IIRC (I recall it being brought up in previews for the game).

*brofist* great game.
Would do alot of things for a new nonimusha but this doesn't sound promising D:.
And here is why Spark Unlimited keeps getting projects.
Doesn't matter who makes these games. They'll have shit reception but they'll still sell well. Capcom probably giggles every day about getting away with ORC. Even if everyone hated it, I'm sure it still sold well enough to be a success.

Oh my....
Onimusha peaked with 2, such an awesome game. But I just came to the conclusion that a lot of franchises I love 'died' with the ending of pre-rendered backgrounds. I mean just look at:
- Resident Evil (although I tolerated 4 and CVX, nothing came close to 1,2,3 and 5 was some utter tosh, and I don't want to mention VI because that is looking to become an ultimate shitfest)
- The awesomeness that is Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX
- Dino Crisis (let's not talk about 3 eh?)
- all those old point-and-click adventures
With pre-rendered backgrounds directors can choose more of a cinematic angle, especially with horror games instead of all these over the shoulder and first person angles.
Hell yes I just came to the conclusion that the golden age of games is the SNES and PS1 era with those awesome 2D games and games with pre-rendered backgrounds!
A new Onimusha will never have awesome scenes and atmosphere like this:

Pretty sure they are not, and this magazine went to press prior to the Ninja Gaiden announcement. And Sven more or less denied they have another project together several months ago.

I dunno who they are but the DMC Duology was ported very well IMO, so it could get at least that similar treatment.
I saw in an interview with Inafune that he said they are very good at communicating with Japanese developers. I don't know what else it could be really.
It doesn't take much detective work to realize that Spark now isn't the same Spark as it was when it made Legendary and turning point. Just look at LinkedIn.

Game would be doomed from the start.
Pretty much.

Lol, the news was almost worth it for the first page disappointment gifs.
They need to stop giving their franchises period. Hire more people, put talented designers as leaders of the teams making the games. Outsource to Platinum. It's not rocket science.

Capcom will not be satisfied until they kill off all of their franchises.

What exactly was it that made Capcom suddenly think they needed to farm out all their properties to Western Devs to better capture that market?
It's not like they had a string of internally developed flops or anything... prior to this initiative, their major releases this gen have been Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5, which were all big commercial and critical successes.

I'd prefer if they kept it internal, but I don't think there's a beef anymore. Kamiya seemed more than happy to work on DMC 5 if given the chance. Inafune is gone.

DLC for RE6 and Dragon's Dogma? Dragon's Dogma sequel?
(that is if RE6 was developed fully by Capcom.After playing the demos i have serious doubts.)
Where's the DMC team? The RE team? The MVC and SF teams? They can't all be working on DLCs that's crazy IMO.

I remember reading that almost 600 people were working on DD...that included the DMC team and obviously many others too.If they are working on the sequel a big number of people must be working on that plus on (the already announced) expansion for the original game.

Nah, Inafune probably can't be blamed with new projects now.
Call of Duty is likely the reason.
