Dino Crisis, Onimusha not forgotten
But reboots unlikely for now.
Reboots of Dino Crisis and Onimusha seem at least a long way off – but the cult action franchises have not been forgotten, Capcom has said.
Onimusha and Clock Tower film updates
One next year, one in 2011.
Capcom has celebrated its 25th birthday today by saying a big thank-you to everyone and issuing a couple of dates for big-screen adaptations of its games.
The first is a 2011 projection for Onimusha, according to the publisher's US blog. The film was recently delayed after the death of actor Heath Ledger had a knock-on effect on various projects stacked up with related personnel.
Onimusha is Capcom's sixth-biggest selling series, according to information released by the publisher last month. The games have been largely for PS2 and are based on historical Japanese figures with a bit of a supernatural twist. Most of the games are made up of a mixture of third-person combat and puzzle-solving.
Onimusha film delayed due to Ledger's death
Won't start shooting in June after all.
The Onimusha film has been delayed and the death of Heath Ledger is to blame, according to a aintitcool's translation of a French source.
