@SG79: They've been scratching off the years day by day. When the site first launched, it was 1560, then 1560 was scratched out and 1573 appeared. Now 1573 is scratched out and 1582 appeared.
As I've said multiple times, they're doing this on purpose.
Jean Reno was the best thing about Onimusha 3. Also loved how he spoke in French until that little stupid fairy thing made the gibberish understandable...
@MalariaMan21077: What always confused me was why they didn't just...y'know, let Reno voice act his character speaking English. Jean Reno is perfectly good at speaking English, and he DID record his character's French dialogue. I don't know why they hired some random American VA to take his place. Time constraints, maybe?
I doubt it's a new Onimusha game, or rather, I hope it's not a new Onimusha game. The trilogy was great, but I seriously could have done without Dawn Of Dreams. Not a terrible game by any means, but it felt like the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull sequel within the Onimusha franchise.
@SG79: Then why take those specific dates that happen to coincide exactly with the first three Onimusha games?
The Sengoku Basara games take place all throughout the Warring States period. Those specific years were picked out for a reason. Either Capcom is openly taunting its fans (which is possible), or it's an Onimusha game.

@(Zombie) Goldwings: The reason why i bought DMC in the first place was because of how much i love Onimusha so go ahead Goldy give it a try awesome series.
I would be interested to see this, but it is being publicized on the Sengoku Basara website. So either Capcom's playing a trick on us, or the Onimusha series has changed development teams, and will be more of a DMC-type action game as opposed to "Resident Evil with swords".
Well if it's publicized on the SB site, then that settles it.
Onimusha series leads are pretty much the guys who worked on LP and RE5. Incidentally, the lead programmer of the PS2 games was the one who started the work on their current MT Framework engine.
@SG79: Well, it's entirely possible they're advertising it on the SB website because Onimusha is a dead franchise this gen, while Sengoku Basara gets a bunch of games released a year and (I believe?) has an anime based on it, so people would be LOOKING at the Basara website.
Why advertise in a place where nobody's looking? You gotta draw 'em in somehow. I think that if anything, it just means that Kobayashi (the DMC/Basara guy) will be leading the project, not Inafune or Takeuchi.

Nah, I'd say it's time to jump to conclusions. It's pretty obvious that it's a new Basara, possibly for the PS3/360.

I hope that SB3 makes it stateside. I had such fun times with SB2. (too bad SB2:Heroes cut out so many missions...)

No Dawn of Dreams = FAIL
Seriously, what the fuck? Dawn of Dreams is only 2 years old.
