Surprise Surprise: Onimusha is INDEED Capcom's Soulslike
https://youtu.be/Z7aApuPGOUA?si=dj7qCN27U0uR1HRc
It plays exactly like one
It has the same centered camera and movement
It has the same lock on
What these retarded directors actually mean when they say "Out game isn't Soulslike" is "this game is braindead easy"
5 journalists so far in their preview mentioned how easy the game is and how the parry windows are huge
Capcom learned nothing from Monster Hunter Milds

Capcom currently is a bunch of jeets and changs trying hard to appeal to the western market with legacy credit not from their own work but the generations of Japanese and American workers from years before. Realize this before talking about Crapcom again.

Could you answer some questions for me please?
1) Have you actually played an Onimusha game in your life?
2) If yes, how did they play before?
3) And also did you expect them to put static camera in the year 2025 when even the old Resident Evil devs said that it (combined with tank controls) was a mistake and they'd have done it differently given the chance?

capcom regressing again...it's sad. This onimusha looks slower than the previous ones and the parry mechanic being more prominent is not the direction I would've liked to see. I think it would've been cooler to base the game more around issen. Although I haven't played onimusha 4, no character swapping looks like they didn't want to revisit it again

There is a part in Onimusha 2 where the game makes you save before a bossfight with the demon guy on the beach and you just have to survive by either perfect parrying his every hit or tanking it while hitting him, you cant farm healing items before and you cant go back.
One of the hardest fights I ever had, I had health for 2 hits and had to use some speedrun tactic with the spear to barely survive, savestating all the way through

This game reminds me of some other niche games of a series I might have played some years ago. I think their dev studio was called Fromhardware or something. Can you help me figure out the name of this genre?

FUCK YOU dude. how is this exactly like Onimusha? they are not even hiding the fact that it's a Souls slop. look at the UI! look how the pacing of the game is! In DoD i could dash cancel sword attacks into sword attacks. fluently doing infinites. DoD Jubei could juggle Genma's! Issen was much more fluent and chained into another Issen for crowd control. here it's just a glorious kill animation.

I absolutely didn't. It's in the same trash heap as shit like way of the samurai, samurai shodown/spirits and ninja gaiden. Absolutely nobody remembers these games or actually wants them back. Watch as NG4 flops catastrophically and KT is forced to just keep rebooting dynasty warriors and making nioh sequels because it's a safer bet.
These meme genres are meaningless.
Lose any progress at all? That's a roguelite.

'Issen' was a term that floated around a lot, meaning 'flash', though the games themselves usually just called them critical hits. There were two ways to do it: Attack just before being hit, or parry and then attack. Parry crits were weaker and rewarded fewer souls if it killed, but were safer to do.
Its a core game mechanic, being in every Onimusha game.

Fromsoft has moved so far away from the original des and das1 gameplay that what constitutes as a soulslike is such a far reaching genre now. Especially when it also encompasses Sekiro which has created its own mini subgenre of parry focused games.

Sekiro is also not a Souls game. Its its own thing, and it excels at it despite basically having no depth to the combat. Like attack is like 3 hits, a single type of heavy attack you can charge.

and Stellar Blade is a really shitty ambivalent concept. they tried some DMC stuff but in it's core it feels as slow and sluggish as a souls game. don't know how to categorize that one but the devs are bad at gameplay design

Because it's a defensive game that just happens to have dmc style flashy moves.
You can of course get rid of the slowness by equipping the speed gears that make you move sonic fast but it will still have inherent slowness because the game loves to slow down the camera everytime it wants to show you eve's tits and ass.

Alright, found some gameplay without commentary. Looks alright but I really wanted something more along the line of Dawn of Dreams. It feels like they're going for a more "grounded" and cinematic approach. I'm admittedly not a huge Onimusha fan, I only played DoD back in the day and 3 as well. DoD was one of my favorite PS2 games though and I have huge nostalgia for it.

The sword clashing mechanic looks nice. I know it first started in onimusha but I am reminded of weapon clashes also in for honor. That was sick.
Wuchang also had weapon clashes which is a mechanic that almost no soulsgame has, because stuff like parries and blocks were a dedicated button instead of making your weapons hitting the enemy weapon at the same time being the trigger for it.

DoD was the most action oriented gameplay-wise but it was also the outlier in the series. This looks more like it's leaning more on Onimusha 1+2's sensibilities while combining gameplay elements and combat from Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima.

So which Onimusha games have you actually played? Because I actually played all of the mainline games and Blade Warrioes. Hell I still own all of them on PS2. Most of them barely had combos and what little "aerial attacks" the games did have could barely be strung together into other movesets beyond poking motherfuckers out of the sky. In other words, you're full of shit.

Yeah I know, this looks like it's going for something closer to the first ones which I didn't play. I don't think it looks bad though, it just not what "Onimusha" was to me since I started with DoD which has always been the very different one. But I like a wide variety of action games including Sekiro so I'm still interested in Way of the Sword. I still want that DoD remaster port though.

If you consider the very first game, even DMC didn't have much combos in early 2000s, and you would still slide and do animu shit because it wasn't designed by ripping off Fromsoftware

So have we discovered any arguments as for why this isn't a soulslike other than "capcom said it isn't"?

And your example is a fucking webm showing an Issen counter? A counterattack that can't even be strung into other movesets besides chaining more of the same counterattacks? I knew you were full of shit, I didn't know you were fucking dumb either.
>Onimusha teleports behind you
Pfft, acting like Issen is some special teleporting move when it's basically a counterattack.

>Onimusha was fast as fuck

Yeah, it was about fast counters and fast attacking
Then it changed into flavour of the month combofagging, and now it's Souls

Modern capcom games have such lifeless animation. There's no punch behind anything, it feels like watching a fat old man training in a dojo

Niggers, Onimusha as a series is fucking easy. Extremely brain dead if you actually have above 80 IQ and do all the chest puzzles, Dark Realm floors and getting all the upgrades. The average casual player didn't need Issen autism to beat these games.

Gotta give the people what they want. Just make sure you can be actually OP after clearing some ridiculous challenge. Reject modernity. Embrace Tradition. Hope there's a ton of weapon styles like someothing out of Way of the Samurai.

The centered lock on camera is just a modern โsensibilityโ that weโre never escaping. Iโd be happy if Onimusha had a classic camera but I think the game would sell worse if it did and clearly Capcom does too.
As for nuDoom resource mechanics I do agree itโs a very hamfisted way of forcing you to use your different tools but itโs hardly the worst thing in the world.
Other than that itโs about as best as I could hope for from an Onimusha sequel. The deflection system is a great addition from the usual parryslop.
