Capcom is in the midst of a Golden Age, and we spoke with producer Masachika Kawata about how the publisher / developer has managed this during an era of extreme industry volatility.
We traveled to Capcom’s Osaka offices to learn about the resurrection of its long-dormant Onimusha series and toured Kyoto to see the real-life inspiration behind the game’s “gorgeously eerie” dark fantasy action.
Moving, shooting, improving (both in stats and skill), winning, and even losing is an unequivocal joy, and I only wish I could write this final sentence faster so I can hurry up and get back to planet Carcosa and attempt another run.
This weekend we recommend checking out Pragmata, prepping for the release of Saros, playing a noir detective game inspired by Doom and classic cartoons, and more.
