7 Upcoming Video Games That Will Waste Their Biggest Selling Points

5. Making People Want More Onimusha - Onimusha: Warlords

One of Capcom's best business and artistic decisions was splitting Resident Evil 4's prototypes into a series of games. Devil May Cry saw great success, and Onimusha became many PS2 owners' favourite hack n' slash title, its usage of Japanese history and mythology being icing on the cake.

Five years of sequels followed, and then... nothing. Until now.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Capcom announced a full PS4, Xbox One and Switch remaster to land in 2019, only... it looks almost identical to what we got in 2001.

If this is indeed a way of testing the waters once again, potentially green-lighting the mythical Onimusha 5 if Warlords' remaster does well, then it's just about the most flat way Capcom could've gone about it.

Yakuza finally took off in the West because we got the immaculate Yakuza 0 (a new game, albeit a prequel), then came the remakes of Yakuza 1 and 2. It'll be a miracle if something straight out of 2001 makes the average consumer yearn for more.
