If we had to pick the standout trailer from the recent State of Play, the crown would undoubtedly go to the latest installment in the Onimusha series, "Onimusha: Way of the Sword." The trailer introduces us to the game's protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, brought to life with the striking likeness of the legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune. In the trailer, Musashi valiantly battles demons that have invaded Kyoto from the depths of hell. Yet, in a humorous twist, we also see him attempting to evade these fearsome creatures at times.
The storyline reveals that Musashi, empowered by his faith, becomes the bearer of the Oni Gauntlet. His mission is to confront and defeat the monstrous beings that roam the world of the living, absorbing their souls to replenish his health and unlock powerful special abilities.
Additionally, the State of Play showcased a trailer for the remastered "Onimusha 2." The side-by-side comparison of these two trailers vividly illustrates the remarkable advancements in graphics technology over the years, highlighting the evolution of visual storytelling in video games.
