Pragmata better not end up as the new Deep Down. All the hype I had for the game's premise has been lost.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
What's more concerning is this is In-house developed

Onimusha was the first big game to release on PS2. Definitely one of my favorites of that era. How Capcom has mismanaged this franchise is truly sad.
Even more so given how well they've managed Resident Evil, which I often suggest should be a template for the industry in modernizing classics.
I was happy they announced a new Onimusha, but it's sad that they put such little effort behind this.

I'll be playing it on the Steam Deck. Perfect device to coincide with the PS5.

I wonder if they will actually remaster Dawn of Dreams after 3. It's the one game no one mentions (due to an unfortunate 2006 PS2 release date), but I'm very curious to try it out.

Thats a great game! Ever few years I play the whole series and Dawn Of Dreams is a lost gem.
I feel Capcom should have just made a whole collection with all the games a long time ago.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I hadn't really considered that Capcom might censor the game, but I guess I should've expected it given every retro compilation they've put out lately.
Not buying it now. I'll stick to the PS2 version.

On the one hand yes, I probably wouldn't have even noticed as I was never planning on using such a costume. On the other, why would they even bother censoring something so minor? It also makes you question what else in the game is censored which makes me stay away at full price. They should know their audience better.
Those censorships (the extra costume and Oyu in the intro) are completely useless and stupid.
But they're just a couple of small things in a great game. The costume is shitty and I'd never use it even in the uncensored version.
Also people forget that even the original Onimusha was censored in the west back in 2001 in a particular transformation scene.
So in the end people who are making a huge deal out of this stuff are just not interested in the game imo.

Pre-ordered and ready to play tonight!
I don't care about titties in real life, so I'm not bothered in video games either. Would the gore/blood had been censored though... that would be different.

Disappointing to see such a lacklustre remaster. Think I'll emulate instead. Definitely won't be wasting money on this.

There will always be a fickle side of any consumer base who will not buy something based on any miniscule reason. You could raise the question if they're looking for any tiny excuse to not buy a product, but it honestly isn't worth it
We will see what happens down the line when a random modder comes out and simply replaces the few changes with their original versions. Some people may finally buy after that, and others will suddenly create a new line in the sand.

What were you expecting? A RE2 Remake or Dead Rising remaster?

Just like in real life titties overshadow the other good parts.
Reigniting interest in the IP ahead of the revival next year

More along the lines of Dead Rising after the announcement, but the disparity here is that Onimusha is a much bigger franchise than Dead Rising.
WORST case scenario we should have much higher textures and resolution as well as 120fps. Ninja Gaiden 2 goes significantly further.
Ideally it would have been an RE2 remake given the stature of the franchise, but short of that, they could have put more effort into this. It's just disappointing. I won't pay 30 dollars for this because I'm not sure I'd play it for free. So at best I'll wait for a PS+ version.

Played this like 80 years ago on PCSX2.
From the sounds of it, that was a wise choice.

So you didn't like the Warlords Remaster either I supposed.

I think games this old require more than a cheap remaster.

Yes, but what about the rest? Are they going to skip them all? Or will we be getting PS4 and Switch 1 remasters of Dawn of Dreams in 2029?
We could have gotten these on a yearly basis until late 2021/early 2022. Or at least each two years with DoD already remastered by this year instead of only O2 getting one now.

The Last Of Us 1 PS3
The Last Of Us 2 PS4
The Last Of Us 3 PS5
GTA skipping gens lol
GTAV PS3
RDR2 PS4
GTAIV PS5

Came to gush after about 2 hours. This is such a solid upgrade from Oni 1. Improves in all categories. Plus where you end up after using the red donut in the mine!? Dope!
I feel like I royally fucked it the giving items stuff. Didn't realize stuff in the item shop is limited time so you want to farm and buy it all asap before store refreshes with new items. Plus I was just giving anything the guys would accept at the inn even if it wasn't exactly what they asked for. Oops.

Having everything unlocked at the start kind of voids any reason to play this game. Wtf. The Man in Black costume is still only limited to the mini game?

Yeah, I don't understand this expectation or logic. Would it have been cool if it was a complete remake or remastered like RE2 or Dead Rising? Sure, of course. But there is nothing wrong with this "cheap" route either.

Sure, there is. It makes it less worthwhile to revisit, which is a shame for a franchise of that stature.
Like I said, I won't be buying it and I'm not alone in that.
Edit: Currently on page 7 on the US PS Store... it's a complete flop. It's on page 1 on the JPN PSN store, but ranked 20th out of the gate....

Just tried the beginning of the game, they have done a really good job with the backgrounds, they're much better than the blurred one used in the Onimusha Warlords remaster.
I've just found the bow and you can now swap weapons on the fly.
So far so good.
