10 knivskarpe Omimusha 2 screenshots

Onimusha var en kærkommen nyhed indenfor Hack and Slash Adventure genren, men det gik tabt af dansen da Devil May Cry dukkede op på scenen med sin fantastiske grafik.

De seneste billeder fra Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny lover imidlertid bod og bedring.

Historien i Onimusha 2 tager tråden op 13 år efter den originale historie. Som spiller skal du atter en gang tage kampen mod det onde op. Du spiller som Yagyu Jubei i 1500 tallets feudale Japan. Din opgave er at hævne et brutalt angreb på en landsby, foretaget af den nådesløse krigsherre Nobunaga.

Yagyu Jubei er en genskabelse af den døde japanske skuespiller Yusaku Matsuda (som nogle måske kan huske fra filmen Black Rain, med Michael Douglas). Og Yusaku Matsuda skulle efter sigende se meget livagtig ud i Onimusha 2. Spillet kommer (forhåbentlig) i løbet af sommeren 2002.

Her følger dog 10 ferske screenshots fra spillet, efterfulgt af spillets feature liste:

Features:
- New battle system - Players will gain access to the fighting styles of not only the main character but up to five unique sub-characters.

- Enhanced sword action - A simple control system allows players to easily execute a new set of moves called 'Oghi' which deal devastating combos

- New and diverse environments - As players progress through Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny they will delight in the diversity of settings, exploring the lively gold rush town of Imashou, the mysterious Ogre Island with its legions of demons as well as foggy canyons, hidden forests, a gold mine, caves and more.

- Realistic presentation - Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny will feature twice the amount of CG storyline sequences as its predecessor.

"Once again the opening cinematics are absolutely stunning and immediately draw the player into the game's universe. You actually feel panic and fear as Nobunaga and his henchmen terrorise the village," sier David Miller, Marketing Director, Capcom Eurosoft. "Onimusha: Warlords set new standards when it was released last year and this sequel is certain to exceed them."
