            And Onimusha was already an action/rpg, and capcom is actually good at those. It's an exciting thought.

                  Hey, this just might make your day.

                  We haven't seen the once-esteemed Onimusha franchise in a while, and some believe it might be dead.

                  But thankfully, Capcom boss Yoshinori Ono doesn't entertain such grim notions. In fact, he just told The Daily Star that Capcom is well aware of the fan outcry for another installment, and there have been some internal discussions concerning such a project:

                  "Capcom as a company know we have many brands, IPs and series that are beloved by players around the world, and we always have fans asking when is this or that coming back. I've spoken internally with people who made Onimusha with me originally and talked about maybe how interesting it would be to revisit that series."

                  Ono added that a new Onimusha game hasn't started development and frankly, he can't think about it until Street Fighter V is out the door. Speaking of which, you should check out the full-length CG trailer if you haven't already. As for another Onimusha , I'm so down for that. Loved those games!

                        I'd like to see more Onimisha but thankfully what I've seen of NiOh scratches that itch for me already.

                                                but they need to keep DmC's camera.

                                                            I know the fans hated it but the critics disagreed. It's hard to tell what Capcom will do. Though I wonder if pretending DmC didn't exist will repair the damage of fan loss.

If it is, then every single action game on the planet would also be an "action/RPG." Bloodborne is an action/RPG. Mass Effect is an action/RPG. Onimusha definitely is not.

If it is, then every single action game on the planet would also be an "action/RPG." Bloodborne is an action/RPG. Mass Effect is an action/RPG. Onimusha definitely is not.

They better not mess with the formula too much if this goes through. Although i guess a lot of what I perceive to be wrong with the new REs could work a lot better with Onimusha. Has anyone done over the shoulder swordplay before? Could be interesting.
