Liam Robertson: "a lot of interesting rumours about Capcom" Re: Onimusha

Yep, Capcom was clearly testing the waters with the remaster. RE Engine Onimusha would be amazing.

Excluding Dragon's Dogma, I kinda surprised CAPCOM didn't try an Onimusha Souls yet or something like that.
Team Ninja already run ahead of them with Ni-Oh & From with Sekiro.

He goes into a lot more details on his podcast but the idea is Capcom is planning on remastering more Onimusha and making a new one if this game sells.
The context isn't quite the same considering the time that has passed since the (original) release.
Since the remaster was also released for Switch, I really hope a potentially new one gets released for the console too.
Do you think remasters/remakes aren't made to gauge interest in franchises and genres?
Partially yes, but even if a remaster sells 'well' and don't think that's an automatic green light.
Of course not.
But that's a greenlight in a process of seeing if something is worth doing or not.
Saying "maybe they'll do it if it sells well" is really obvious.
Unfortunately, especially with Capcom, that's not how it works. The Switch version could be by far the best selling version and, based on past behavior, Capcom would come out with a new game for anything but the Switch. Then watch the excuses range anywhere between 'this can not run on the Switch" to "we are still figuring out how to do something for the way the Switch works". RE4 sold great on Wii. What did Capcom do? Made yet another RE lightgun game for the Wii.
I would say there's definitely a chance of a new Onimusha having switch as the lead system. It really depends on what their ideas for a new game would be.
Especially when you consider Oni seems to be the biggest IP where no one on this forum knows what to do with it. They just want it.

I want a new Onimusha badly, but nothing of what I've seen of that "remaster" makes me want to buy it
If Capcom's behavior the past 4 years regarding re-releases and sequels is any indication, a new Onimusha is already in the works. RE7, DMC5, DR4, MvC:I and more were all preceded by remasters and ports while the new games were in development. Capcom hasn't been doing "the test" for years now.

Another sequel huh?
Has Capcom even made 1 new IP this generation? RE2R and RE7 were GOTY material but I'd still rather have had new IP's from them. The last thing I can remember is Dragon's Dogma 7 years ago.

Considering how much people complained about Virtual Console prices I think people expect old games to always be $5 just because they're old.
"Testing the waters" with HD port of original, great. The gameplay feels weird because of the camera style. Anyway, people who like this would say "Sure, I want a totally different version of this, cause I like it!"? Because it's obvious if they make a new one the gameplay / camera will be different.
Last time Capcom went in with new IPs, things didn't really work out. Even DD wasn't this big success like some think.
They have so many old IPs in their vault that bringing them back basically counts as a new IP. So why have the risk of a new IP when you can essentially have a new IP & a safety net with returning IPs in new forms or reboots.
