Struggling to find the new trailer featuring dismemberment for Onimusha Way of the Sword that was mentioned during the stream.

Wild to remaster it and not put out a native PS5 version with higher frame rates..., especially if it is hitting Steam...

It's a PS2 port... there's no reason to exclude PS4 and with that it automatically gets PS5 support too, which would certainly be identical if it was only on PS5.

Seems to be a minimal effort job like the first. No idea why is taking so long.

What do you expect it to be?
It'll be just a 4K/60fps port with minor tweaks like the first one. No reason to skip last gen consoles.

Hell yes. I've only dabbled in this game, really looking forward to giving it a full playthrough.

Higher framerate and loading times for a native PS5 port. Unlocked frames and VRR for PS5 Pro... no brainer...

That would be the third one, with Jean Reno.

That, but they also used Japanese actors likeness for each of the MCs in these game. That was always talked about in the marketing.

Capcom has been on FIRE lately. Very commendable efforts from them.

I'll buy it, it's an old favorite. Can't promise I'll play it, though. I was over the moon when Onimusha 1 remastered happened, happy as a pig in shit as I downloaded it and started a new game. Pretty sure my last save was right before that damn sliding panel puzzle that drove me nuts every play thru. Been telling myself "I'll jump back in soon" for however many years it's been.

I had this one but never really played it unlike 1 and 3. Will get it.
the remaster for one sold like shit that is why it took forever the 2 and 3 remasters where a go but canned do too the shit sales of the first one.

Good shit. Probably my least favourite of the originals (never played 4), but still a fun time.
My guess is that they put a port of the second one on ice because the first underperformed. Now that 5 is coming, it's a good way to promote it. That said, the first port did receive quite a bit of care and attention. All of the backgrounds were upscaled and retouched by hand, and the entire ost was recomposed due to legal reasons.
That's clearly Matsuda in the art. Crisis averted. Japan would have been very unhappy if Capcom didn't use his likeness again, so they probably figured it was worth coughing up the dough. The guy's a megastar over there.

They could have gone beyond that and add a "Genma Mode" with the Xbox version features.

you actually think the engine can run above 60fps without breaking the game in some way?
if you do you clearly don't know how games back then (especially japanese ones) were developed.
even RE4, whose code was adjusted for the newer HD releases to run at 60fps, still has multiple issues due to the framerate increase, because the game logic was originally coupled to the framerate.
on top of that the loading times will probably be shorter than the fade-out/fade-in transition animations are... because that was already basically the case on PS2.
so loading times will be basically not even a thing even when playing on a base PS4
this will run at 4k 60fps locked with no load times (outside of transition animations) on PS4 Pro and One X.
and for a simple remaster like this they would never go in and reprogram parts of the game to decouple the engine tick rate from the framerate either.
