Onimusha Remake Unveiled in PlayStation Showcase

The most impressive trailer from the recent State of Play showcase was undoubtedly the new entry in the Onimusha series. Onimusha: Way of the Sword unveiled its protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, whose striking resemblance to legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune is achieved through meticulous character modeling by Capcom.

The trailer showcases Musashi's valiant battles against demons emerging from the underworld into Kyoto, punctuated by moments of humorous evasion. The narrative reveals Musashi's transformation into the wielder of the Oni Gauntlet, empowered by his faith. His mission: to combat the monstrous denizens of the mortal realm, absorbing their souls to replenish his health and unlock potent abilities.

A remastered trailer for Onimusha 2 was also presented, providing a stark visual comparison that underscores the remarkable advancements in gaming graphics over the years.
