Saw the re-release trailer yesterday on YT, so excited and can't believe this game is coming back. I'm not happy with this generation of gaming when it comes to modern gaming (indie titles aside), but when it comes to retro gaming, I'm happy to see older games from another decade getting re-releases giving me another chance to play the game. Also retro games are more fun then current gaming trend.

The industry is in real dire straits were most of the good titles current gen are either remasters/remakes of older ips rather than legit new games/ip.

In fact i can count the number of new modern games that i actually want to play within my ten fingers. This is like 4-5 years after current gen was released which is not ideal.

Yeah, that's my beef with today's gaming industry, the last time the gaming industry had a lot of brand new titles/IPs was during the PS3/360/Wii era, after that there was not a lot of it in the PS4/Xbox One era. I don't see a lot of AAA new IP coming out from the industry (other then indie titles, which they're becoming harder to keep track of these days).

This and Dino Crisis are definitely the sorts of series that are in need of having a comeback. To think a new Onimusha AND Ninja Gaiden are on the horizon is actually kind of cool. I wish Mega Man Legends would get this sort of love, but I'll take what I can get.

The third one needs be released next, though it will be interesting to see how they navigate the rights for the one actor that was in it, as it was always said a re-release of the third game would be difficult to using a real actor's likeness.

I second Dino Crises getting a remake. Been hoping for it for years.

All the best games have already been made and the talent to make new ones just isn't there. The only choice is to keep releasing them over and over again with worse releases and diminishing returns each time.
