New Onimusha announced.

For fucking smartphone and browser

Capcom is resurrecting the Onimusha franchise for a new browser and smartphone game. Titled Onimusha Soul, the game will begin service on PC browsers on June 28, with a smartphone version to follow in the Fall.

 Onimusha Soul is a Sengoku era strategy RPG featuring characters from the classic PlayStation 2 series. Players play as a Sengoku era legend, build up their own kingdom where they raise generals, then face off against other players in battle. The game will also have an original story.

 Capcom is making use of the Unity 3D engine for the game's development. This promises to give the game high quality visuals beyond what we're used to seeing from conventional browser games.

 Like most browser games, Onimusha Soul will use an item transaction system, meaning basic play is free.

Nope, nothing wrong with Japan!

Nope, nothing wrong with Japan!

They made a Civilization game for Facebook.

What exactly is your point?

[Human Snorenado]

By and large, the videogame output for Japan has sucked since last gen ended.

[Himu]

On consoles, sure.

I mainly own western games for console games this gen, but I have ample amount of Japanese portable games, because that's where they're being made. By your logic, I could say that western gaming sucks this gen because I have like 5 western games on psp and ds combined.

Where's that .gif of Al Gore vomiting rolleyes?  HANDHELDS, MOTHERFUCKER?  gtfo with that bullshit.

[Human Snorenado]

Japanese developed games I enjoyed this gen: RE5, Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey.  And LO was just "kinda good" not really awesome or anything.  By way of comparison, I could probably name 50 games developed in Japan I enjoyed last gen.

BUBUBUBUBUBUBU HANDHELDS isn't gonna cut it.

I own more japanese games than western games and had more fun with the Japanese games overall. (Console, Pc and Handheld)

Yes, but you have shitty taste.

Capcom going the Sega route of trolling their own fans.

Capcom is set to release its first ever browser-based game later this year, as part of its push into the social and mobile gaming spaces.

 The company first established its Beeline mobile gaming subsidiary last year, and has gone on to have success with mobile releases such as Smurfs' Village and Snoopy's Street Fair. This new push into browser gaming boosts Capcom's plans to grow in the social gaming space.

Onimusha Soul will be an RPG browser game based on the PlayStation 2 Onimusha samurai survival series, and will feature both action and puzzle elements.

 Utilizing the Unity 3D engine for its visuals, Onimusha Soul also boasts a number of community and social gaming elements, with players able to band together and play through the story co-operatively, or fight against each other online.

 The game will be released on June 28 for web browsers, and later in the year on smartphones.

 Capcom also revealed that the Onimusha series has now seen over 7.9 million units sold across all versions since the original release for PS2 in 2001.
