I'm 99.9% certain that it is, and that the rumor is based solely on the fact that they were hiring for a "3rd person action slasher with horror elements" based on an established IP. Everything described there fits Yaiba perfectly.
3 was fucking awesome, I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Then I would not call that rumor but speculation on their side.

The developers of DMC / DR / Onimusha, what are they doing now? I know the DMC4 team made Dragon's Dogma but what about the others?

Wut.
Same with me as well (I wound up enjoying all four main games, though I do admit that I would have preferred if the weapons acquired in DoD were more limited in number yet unique as they were in previous games, instead of working like loot complete with RPG stats).
This right here.
First of all, 3 is amazing.
Second of all, if it were terrible, I'm sure this could be much worse.
Chillin'.
Mikami and Kamiya left. I have no idea where Kawano and Nakai are. Eshiro is crazy. Kobayashi and Itsuno are locked away in some attic, after the financial disaster of Dragon's Dogma. Takeuchi must be selling hot dogs in some trailer.
I played some of it and laughed at how bad it was and I usually don't do that ever. Not sure what they tried to do with the French dude but it was hilarious.
"the French dude"
You have never seen Léon, known as The Professional here in the States?
Or French Kiss, or Mission Impossible?

Jean Reno - Badass

Yes I have but what the fuck is he doing in an Onimusha game? Like I said. Hilariously bad.
They dropped the ball with the franchise.
Yes, but in a so bad it's good way.
If you're trying to take Onimusha 3 seriously, you're waaaaaaayyyyy doing it wrong.
The gameplay was rock solid, as well. Story meanderings aside.
Laughed at what? The storyline? OK, I'm cool with that. The game itself is boss though.
Yeah I did try to take it seriously. You don't make Paranormal Activity 3 a comedy movie and expect people to like it.
I bought it for 10 euros and honestly felt robbed. :/
edit: I should add that the other game, Dawn of whatever is supposed to be better than 3 at least. I haven't played that one yet.

Ok i must have missed something but what has Capcom to do with NG?
Ok, I'll give you that it jumped the shark a bit.Yeah I did try to take it seriously. You don't make Paranormal Activity 3 a comedy movie and expect people to like it.

But I didn't even really like Onimusha 1 and 2, but 3 had the gameplay in spades for me.
I remember hearing buzz about it being WORSE than 3 when it came out.
As much as I've enjoyed the series, the level of tech on display within the story starting in Onimusha 2, as well as the final boss of that game actually being named the
should have been indication enough as to how seriously the franchise was to be taken. By that point, additions like time travel (which would at least explain the out of place technology) and Jean Reno didn't seem particularly outlandish.

Could someone please tell them to stop the outsourcing? I mean this is getting ridiculous. Next up will be Street Fighter 5.

Onimusha 3 was great thanks to its solid gameplay ( i also hated Jean Reno's appearance) but man the first two games were incredible!!!
Tank controls in an "action" "horror" game didn't really do it for me.

I don't think they're bad, I just didn't like them.
you do know street fighter IV was outsourced right

Um i wouldn't call Onimusha's 1-2 controls as "tank"...It wasn't DMC but they did their job for a hack n slash game perfectly.
Outsourced to a local Japanese company, not quite the same thing.
How were they not tank? It was the same as Resident Evil 1, 2, 3. Turn the analog stick left or right to rotate the character model, then up to move him forwards in the direction he is facing or down for backstepping.
Am I remembering the control scheme of Onimusha 1 and 2 improperly?

How big is Spark Unlimited? Three games roughly at the same time does seem pretty big to me.
By linking that you are actually convincing me to give it another look. A Destructoid writer failing to comprehend a game only puts it in good company. From the podcasts I've been listening to I haven't heard difficulty complaints (more along the lines of repetition).

What exactly does Capcom work on internally anymore? Is it just DD, MH and RE mainline now?

At least we know who will be handling DmC2.

Well Ninja Gaiden Z or whatever is apparently produced by Keiji Inafune, who used to be a "key' employee at Capcom.
What is AA5? I hate initialisms.
That's not entirely true. And Dimps has a track record of quality. They have some ex-Capcom employees working there. And the development was split between both companies.

Spark is the new Grin.
This will end the same way too.

Ace Attorney 5
Just remembered E.X. Troopers as the one other thing Capcom seem to be making themselves (which we currently aren't scheduled to get in the West, apparently because they seem to think Spark's Lost Planet 3 is what people actually want instead).
No, AA5 is the next in the mainline Ace Attorney series, set after Apollo Justice. Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney is a completely different game, which Level-5 is developing.
That's the one with Professor Layton, ya?

Is it me or is Spark the new GRIN? Lost Planet 3, Yaiba and now Onimusha all at once all of a sudden?
I don't know why they suddenly dropped the ball with 3 by including a screen actor when they did that with 1 and 2 as well.

"They" is Spark, not Capcom. Many here already guessed that they were doing Onimusha because (a) they have a relationship with Capcom from LP3, and (b) the Spark job postings seemed to fit Onimusha, but it's pretty clear that the "action-slasher" is Yaiba using basic logic.
To be fair, this Onimusha thing is probably not happening. It's just fairly baseless speculation.
