The most impressive trailer from the recent State of Play showcase was undoubtedly the new entry in the Onimusha franchise. Onimusha: Way of the Sword unveiled its protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, whose striking resemblance to the legendary Toshiro Mifune is achieved through impressive character modeling by Capcom.
The trailer depicts Musashi engaging in intense combat against demons that have invaded Kyoto, interspersed with humorous moments of him attempting to evade his terrifying foes.
The narrative reveals Musashi's transformation into the wielder of the Oni Gauntlet, a power granted through his unwavering faith. His mission: to battle the demonic hordes plaguing the mortal realm, absorbing their souls to replenish his health and unlock devastating special abilities.
A remastered trailer for Onimusha 2 was also shown, providing a stark visual comparison that underscores the remarkable advancements in gaming graphics over the years.
