@Ralizah ROFL! That's so spot on priceless....that needs to go in the internet vault of very important things Actually that description applies to quite a few games, particularly where "lore" is applied. It became a phrase with Souls, but it existed for a while in other games. It's a fun euphemism for "boring game where the artiste (with an e) designers were so interested in setting mood for the post-events world they had in their heads they forgot about story and threw in some background as a post-story-board add-on"

Spot on about the "youtube lore videos"....I've often wondered who these people are that have time for story (or gameplay strategy) by watching every youtuber known to man....I'm convinced nobody over 19 can understand.

@FragRed This brings MCC and Quantum Break to near parity at 200GB a piece. Though at least MCC is actually just a collection, so it's not one 200GB bloated game like Quantum, it's 4 "normal sized" 50GB games.... The trouble is they're digital-only even if you have the disc, and 75GB is double some people's monthly bandwidth cap. I do love how the game industry just assumes everyone lives in Seattle with Google Fiber.

@NEStalgia Just imagine living in a country like Australia having to download these games! You’d need a second hobby whilst you wait for your first hobby to be playable. And just wait for the next generation consoles. Those file sizes are going to be keep on growing

@FragRed A new purpose of the Switch, to play games while your other modern console(s) have to download really large updates

@Grumblevolcano Well, that's perfect, when your others systems are downloading, you can drive to the nearest shop to buy a box full of SD cards for your Switch

@FragRed I feel you! I have good internet now but for a long long time, I was capped. A >5GB patch was basically a "you're not allowed to play" sign. There's a serious, serious sickness of the modern tech and gaming world that assumes if something is good for a >50% majority it's simply the way of the world now and everyone else has to keep up or be left behind, else they don't exist. Like own own little Midgar.

@Grumblevolcano Lies!!! The Switch takes longer to download a 10GB game over fiber than the X1 can download the entire MCC with tin cans and a string.

All you guys complaining about 100 GB games and I'm sitting here angry at OBS recording my games at 22 GB or higher for 1.5+ hours of footage. I don't care about huge games as much as huge video files that THEN need to be compressed with Handbrake.

Onimusha Warlords is getting a remaster....wow

Wow about time. Guess the facial captures weren't enough of a hurdle? Or was that just in later games?

@EvilLucario This is a PS2 game to be frank.

Haven't even thought about Onimusha in a decade lol. Have to keep my eye on this one.

Now the question is...this is a Capcom game...whats the catch?
Retail release on all systems and all regions?

Retail only on PS4/Xbox, all regions?

Retail only on PS4/Xbox, but not Europe?

Digital only?

@Knuckles-Fajita What?

Ehh I loved the Onimusha series but man watching that video it's aged pretty poorly. Hopefully it lays the groundwork for a new one though!

@GrailUK It's a Capcom game.

This means it'll either be digital only, or it'll release at retail on all platforms in every region.

Or what I THINK will happen is it will release at retail on PS4 and Xbox One, but only in North America and Japan. Switch users will have to go digital only, and in Europe it'll be digital only regardless.

Dreams DO come true! Here is hoping they bring the other three ...and announce a new one. I have the whole PS2 series, plus the gba game but I have been dying for a new one.

All I care about is the price. Will it be like their $20 budget price or more like $40 for a remaster. Doubt I will pay anything over $40 and if digital only I'll go as high as $30.

@Spoony_Tech $19.99 for US. Digital only in Europe (at least for ps4, but probably switch too)

They've already confirmed its digital only on Switch in all regions.

So that's half of my prediction right. Now to see if its retail on other systems in the EU.

Never mind. Full listing is as such.

Digital only in Europe.
Physical on Xbox and PS4 but only in North America.
Digital only on Switch everywhere.

Hey I was right.

$20 is great and another buy from me. Capcom can keep giving me their old library at $20 and I'll be there for most day one!
