Capcom wants to keep working with Ninja Theory, lock them down
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Businesses are about making money and DMC5 vs DMC was a judgement call. DMC5 wouldn't have done DMC4 sales and neither will DMC. They wanted to revamp Dante instead of forgetting him. Let's see what happens.

Are there people who...don't love the old Star Wars? I don't think I want to know those people, if they exist.
This is not a "new generation" vs. "old generation" thing. It's a "shit" vs. "quality" one. Just like Star Wars was.

Cool. I get that and respect it.
What I don't get, is why people feel the need to constantly shit on something they supposedly have no interest in? (not you particularly)
I get that fans are disappointing with the direction the series is seemingly taking but it seems pointless to keep being mad over it. Let's say Pokemon went in a direction, I hated or something. I;d be pissed for like a few months and if it didn;t improve I'd probably stop caring about it.I wouldn't be in every thread saying fuck this shit yo.
People have the right to hate. I just never understand why you would waste your time constantly doing so. Seems boring to me. And yet every Ninja Theory thread has been the same.

I've said this before and was called a crazy person.
I am fully aware of the situation, I was simply commenting on why you thought Uncle Dante was embarrassing. that's it
I'd have to agree.
I agree with friend Dahbomb. At least it's a more natural fit than Devil May Cry.
Pretty much. I actually think Disney will do a better job than Lucas. I don't have the same faith in Ninja Theory, given their track record.
I ain't even lying. There isn't as much of a focus on high level combat in Onimusha, as long as they get the Issen system right the game play is pretty much taken care of. They can go all out on their art style and presentation. Plus after what Capcom did with DoD... I think Onimusha is pretty much ripe for a reboot now anyway.

No, just no. It would't be called Onimusha anymore, it would probably be "Some Western Warrior"
Onimusha is better off dead. Now there's a series with truly embarrassing cutscenes.
I haven't watched the old show in 20 years so I wouldn't be able to tell you if it is or not.
But the new show is good in a way that elevates it above the usual saturday morning affair.

Welp, I think the writing is on the wall - Mega Man reboot incoming.

The series had some alright ones. Loved the opening to Onimusha 3.

I understand what NT is doing with DmC (even though I don't agree with it), but Onimusha is one of the few Capcom games that is Japanese and is part of what is left of Capcom's identity and former glory.
I'd sooner quit video games as a whole right now than to see NT even go near this.

I played a couple Onimusha games back in the day. 2spooky4me. However, I do want to give them another go.

I'd rather Wayforward work on a new MegaMan game than having them work on an established series. They'd have a lot more freedom to experiment outside of the classic or X formula.
Personally I think a Bad Box-Art MegaMan game could be cool.
The intro to Onimusha 3 is why I bought the game. I am not even joking.
The problem was that I thought I was going to be playing a Ninja Gaiden game but instead I got an Onimusha game... without even a jump button. So the whole sequence of him jumping around and killing demons in a ninja suit was a farce.

Better start packing it up son.

You know, call me crazy, I would love to see NT's take on Resident Evil, let them reboot the franchise and maybe they could make it relevant again.

I'd rather see SWERY take a crack at the series. He'd at least get the atmosphere right.
At this point anyone could reboot that series and shit out something better than RE6.

The physical form of blasphemy
Granted, Capcom made every technical system in Onimusha ridiculously easy to get a handle on in DoD. NT would probably make that shit even more op than it already was, considering shit like demon dodging and the parry in DmC... :/
DMC is not even out yet, jeez, wait until it comes out. Wait, nevermind. DMC wasn't stale to you and that's that. You wanted lots more old Dante whereas I feel like he was starting to smell like rotten milk and Capcom agrees.

i never played Enslaved, but Heavenly Sword was awful. laggy controls, performance issues (mostly screen tearing), combat too basic, too short.
Ah fuck it. As long as Dimps gets SF5 with Ono in charge.
Honestly, that part doesn't really bother me. I have little faith in Capcom anymore anyways. I'm not actually that against it, demo was fine and stuff, but NT's track record is what bothers me. I've put a couple hours into their games but got bored pretty fast. A sort of, all flash no substance. Recent capcom comments about anyone being able to be like the 'hardcore combo videos' also implies they are aiming for flash over substance. DMC was one of the few action game series that had both for me.
I know reviews have been good, and I will get the game on steam down the line, but I just don't see this as the game that completely changes my mind about Ninja Theory. Everything about the plot and atmosphere seem odd to me. The gameplay works sometimes, but seems to have weird ways to abuse the systems even on harder difficulties. Hopefully the final game is quite a bit different from the demo then, but the distance between their releases is somewhat short, so I can't imagine a ton of change.

First they are going ruin Onimusha and they bring back the goddamn Dino Crisis from the grave and ruin that too.
Oh and yeah, they are making Megaman Legends 3 now too.

You dont really need tip top shape reflexes to play Devil May Cry.
Friend, it can't get any worse than dinosaurs in space.

Pffft everyone knows that Dino Stalker was Dino Crisis 3 and that thing never happened.
The 3 was actually an mirrored E! Dino CrisisE. I know, it's confusing!

Capcom, please don't give the Dino Crisis franchise to Ninja Theory - the third game was so fucking good and the franchise went out in such a blaze of glory. It would break my heart to see those hacks get their grubby mitts on the IP and ruin it.
Except Nirolak, no one wants Donte Must Cry: FUCK YOUmC.

if heavenly sword and enslaved were "quality products", i don't know what's considered a bad game these days
either the management at capcom is delusional, or they think they can change people's opinions with poor pr pieces intead of actual games. whatever it is, this doesn't end well for capcom

I'd rather have them go back to Sony and make Heavenly Sword 2. At least that's something I want!
Also, the Demo wasn't that good. The framerate during the boss battle was horrible.

You're viewing this game under the assumption that everyone feels the same way you do about it.
If that's the case, then this game will do much better than you think it will.

Are you me? I've been complaining about that shit forever.
I don't wish NT out of work but I hope they never touch DMC again.
Congratulations. Seems third time was the charm (not counting Kung Fu Chaos) for NT.

I hope they make SF5.
