i really-truly miss this series! whoever made part 4 should be shot, game was awful!this series needs to be brought back! co-op with jubei. by the way, onimusha 2 was always my fav..
@Kakalake95 consider me part of the team!. it's gonna be a loooong journey. most likely, the asshole is hiding in japan! never thought it was possible for one single game to kill a whole series!
agree with SH: shattered memories! the game is complete shit! combat is shit, graphics(wtf was that?!)shit! the overall experience is complete SHIT!!!! but luckily, that shit game didn't kill the series. can't wait for "downpour"! oh, and the SM guy is a bonus! first objective is the dawnofdreams ahole
@PumaDown i personally loved every good guy and bad guy in the game(specially gogandantess)! haven't had that much love for characters since FFVII and MGS1. if someone ever-EVER decides to make a film on onimusha, i pray to god that they choose part 2's story!!!!
One Of The Greatest Most Epic Cinematics In Gaming History. Donnie Yen Is A Freakin' Genius & Not Just Cuz He's One Of The All-Time Great Martial Arts Film Stars Of Them All.
But Why The Hell Did They Cut Out Jean Reno's Jacque Blanc At The End?
I lost my copy of this game. Even if the rest of the game sucked, it'd be worth it to buy another copy just for this scene. But it's an awesome game anyway.
why we don't have a CGI full length onimusha....is beyond me. this is perfect evidence for video game movies, make them CGI. Remember Advent Children?
@cyberbru That had to happen since Kaneshiro was credited as a special guest creator for the games. I wouldn't have it any other way because Samanosuke Akechi is awesome.
damn i remember i had this intro on a dvd i got in a magazine years ago...i watched it over and over again i thought it was the best looking thing ever...right after the dude blows up and he's walking away even now the shit still looks sick...never got to play it though =(
The only thing I don't get is samasnusuke a ninja or a samurai I mean you can't be both but this is a cool opening movie I think I watched this thing like 3 times when I first got the game before I even started playing the thing.
I don't know why people are giving you thumbs down. A samurai would find it cowardly to act as a ninja. A bit of realism lost there, but still badass.
I think with a foe like Nobunaga, though, a samurai would be willing to undertake a stealth mission to take out the tank.
I mean, I think he'd understand that it's important to take it out and entirely worthwhile since a head-on, nonstealth approach would be a wasteful suicide.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
to bad hes not tenkai u idiot...they were real ppl back in the 1500s and they were 2 different ppl.and dont try to fight me on this cuz i can prove ur ass wrong!!
Samanosuke and Tenkai are the same person. In Dawn of Dreams he was called Tenkai. If you watched the ending for Dawn of Dreams you'd know Tenkai is Samanosuke.
they are actually planning on making a movie... as far as I know it's gonna be ready about 2010 or 2011.... And i believe that Kaneshiro Takeshi (Samanosuke) is in it. I HOPE!
Brilliant opening sequence. Seems like a waste spending so much money on it when the gameplay doesn't even match up to it. Metal Gear Solid has great cutscenes and great gameplay and an amazing story-line. It's not that hard to do. Devil May Cry 3 had great cutscenes and some what decent gameplay but similar story-line to Inuyasha, don't really know or care who came first but you get the point. Very few games have that complete feel to it, over all. I guess every game can't be a masterpiece.
The Onimusha series is awesome. The gamplay was suppose to be reminiscent of Resident Evil which it was designed after. It started out being developed as a "ninja resident evil game". And it does that perfectly.
That's why I didn't like the Onimusha series, because of the Resident Evil gameplay. Those controls were broken and frustrating. I remember when the remake of the first Resident Evil for the Gamcube and the graphics were really good for a GCN game. But to a great surprise they didn't fix the controls, or at least tweak them a bit to not alienate newcomers to the series. Then Resident Evil 4 came out and blew us away. That game was a masterpiece. I'll be patient for an Onimusha re-build.
the boken control sceam was intentional. It was used to highten anxiety and fear. Which i also think worked perfectly. Sort of like that damned flashlight in Doom 3. Besides they fixed the broken control issue with 3 and Dawn of Dreams. If you use the analogue stick the direction you tilt the stick is the direction you move. It made it a hell of a lot better so check it out. 3 is my personal fave. I have all the onimusha games including tactics for the GBA.
i hope if they make a movie of it i hope that it will not directed by uwe boll because he is dumb fuck always ruining my favorite games.. he is a piece of shit.. if they want to make a movie of it, it will be nice if takeshi kaneshiro will be portray samanosuke akechi not others.. thats all
To reassure you firebreathin... capcom had stated that they will not let Uwe Boll go near any of their games. He was interested in making dmc for a while and now capcom are srious abt their film adaptations quote "we do not want another streetfighter" lets hope they learn
Nope. Onimusha 3 is a fine game, but a disappointment as a sequel to Onimusha 3. It should have finished on a God of War scale. Not just a touched up version of Onimusha 2.
I gotta say that this is the best fight scene in a game hands down. Few things can compete. I like Onimusha 1 alot - it had that resident evil feel to it. And yeah 4 was a let down.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Despite the cinematics, Onimusha 3 was a disappointment. The story was nonsense, and the battle system hadn't been developed much from Onimusha 3. Hardly an epic way to end the trilogy.
I feel slightly trapped when playing such games as Onimusha. Things,such as climbing to a great extent, are sorely needed. But I couldn't say if that would upset the balance too much.
