[Rymuth]

Looks great.

Still no word from Zhuge?

 

[Cyborg]

This is a big surprise...looking good.

 

[Strike]

Crazy to think that this was originally announced 10 years ago.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Looks really great. I'm always up for more big-budget samurai or ninja games, but Japanese publishers don't usually seem to agree. You can definitely see Team Ninja in this, because it does look crazily polished just from that short gameplay snippet.

 

[Firmus_Anguis]

Heh, I remember the original trailer for this game... Always wondered what happened to it. Good to see it's alive!

 

[jmaine_ph]

This game looked really good. Definitely a surprise

 

[Rey]

This is a big surprise...looking good.

Holy shiznit, can't wait.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Geralt you are a samurai now.

 

[Loudninja]

Shenmue 3
Ff7
Last Guardian
Nioh

I am going crazy here.

 

[Moonlight]

This made me realize we haven't seen a game like Onimusha in years.

 

[xzeldax3]

WTF I can't believe they revived this!

 

[Forkball]

It's 2005 again? Time for some Nickelback!

The footage looks great though. Onimusha meets Dark Souls? Yes please.

 

[MCD]

Level looks straight outta NG Ryu's village.

 

[ZoddGutts]

I don't want it to be soulsy, I want it to be Onimusha like, which it does tbh, maybe more so than Souls or Ninja Gaiden.

Yeah, weird people are saying "Samurai Souls", this looked more like Onimusha with hints of Ninja Gaiden. Far prefer Onimusha gameplay over Souls anyways, glad Ni-Oh takes inspiration from Onimusha.

 

[Macrotus]

The Onimusha-feel made me really interested.
Koei Tecmo is doing what Capcom should be doing. /prays Koei-Tecmo doesn't announce a Samurai Warrior competitive shooter

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Yup that's how I imagined a modern Onimusha game would look like.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

This looked awesome.

With the lack of other big action games from Japan, this will get my full attention now

 

[eso76]

Looked a lot like Ninja Gaiden, even moreso than Onimusha.
Even the village has a similar layout to that in NG Black.

Looks good either way

 

[AzureFlame]

10/10 Day Zero

Onimusha + Ninja Gaiden + Samurai Geralt + That graphics engine = WIN.

Now imagine Dynasty Warriors 9 with that engine.

 

[Drencrom]

Alive after all these years, looks pretty good to boot.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Looks awesome!

 

[UrbanRats]

Didn't know about this Nioh title, but it looked like Onimusha to me, so i'm down.

 

[Inuhanyou]

So this is what Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's edge devs have been working on. They make suspect NG games, but working on a new IP will do wonders for them.

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

Looked so damn good.

 

[Megawarrior]

Holy crap this looks like Onimusha.

 

[Mozendo]

From what I saw it didn't see that Souls-like to me, I really hope it's not.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Who are the devs? I know Team Ninja was on the 2005 project but are they still in?

I don't see the Onimusha resemblance much to be honest. Aesthetically, sure, it's a fantasy samurai dude, but gameplay wise it looks very different, closer to Souls

Spoiler

that's a good thing, I don't want tank controls xD

but with modern action game "finishers".

 

[Arion]

none of the monsters look "soulsy" at all lol.

 

[ZoddGutts]

For you people who haven't played an Onimusha game, play Onimusha 2, still holds up as one of the best action games ever made. It's also a stand alone story so you don't need to play the first game.

 

[Jashobeam]

this looks like Onimusha and I'm OK with that.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

It looks surprisingly good for a Koei Tecmo game. One of the surprised games out of Sonys conference. Glad to see it is still alive!

 

[Mendax]

Looks great.

Still no word from Zhuge?

lol why, did he say something funny before?

 

[Boogalogist]

Wow... 10 years in the making. Will be keeping an eye out for this

 

[unholyrevenger72]

Why is Geralt in this?

 

[Vex_]

Holy fuck guys. Are you seeing this combat? It looks so tactical and nuanced. My dream game so far....wow.

 

[Aostia]

best game of the show for me.

 

[DrZeus]

Ok that looked tastey and worth the wait. This is the gen where dreams come true. This, shenmue 3, tlg, and ffvs13/15 have the Japanese contingency covered. Need some agent and half life 3 miracles over here!

 

[crimilde]

This game looks amazing, day 1 for me!

 

[Kurtofan]

is this geralt

 

[DangerMouse]

This looked really damn good.

 

[Punished_Snake]

Damn, this looks great. I want it now.

 

[Bl@de]

I know it's not Onimusha. But the trailer reminded me of it. And Onimusha was one of my favourite PS2 titles. Really looking forward to see more of it.

 

[Astery]

Seeing this game lives makes me happy.
Looks like poor man's onimusha, enemies look kind of dumb, tho it's still under development.

May be Capcom will jump back into onimusha's wagon if this do any decent in terms of sales.

 

[scarlet]

The old trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j14e9zTnVbk

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

The Onimusha game we deserve?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Official trailer is up and Team Ninja is the developer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvfGYXIOems

 

[Elixist]

this looks cool, ill keep my expectations in check though.

 

[AmyS]

This made me realize we haven't seen a game like Onimusha in years.

a bit off-topic, and kinda pointless, but...

Here's Onimusha 3's CG intro @ 60fps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej_78fDLUAE

I wonder if PS4 could re-create that PS2-era CG in real time. Not as gameplay, just as it was, an intro.
I think most of it wouldn't be a problem, though some of the smoke effects in the more complex open scenes would have to be toned down.

 

[bacardi]

Damn, finally - i've been longing for this kind of atmosphere in a game

 

[piccio_ssl]

Official trailer is up and Team Ninja is the developer
