Comment on Darksiders 4 | Announcement Teaser

Wow, OK, now we kind of have to start talking about an action game resurregence: DMC5, GoW reboot, Bayonetta 3, NG4, Onimusha reboot/spin off, and now Darksiders 4. What even is missing at this point?! MGR 2? Even Shinobi got a new game…
For the love of any and everything holy, Capcom, please, there's no better time to open the vaults and release Viewtiful Joe and God Hand! You even got Kamiya back and resurrected both Okami and Clover, come on!
I'd also ask KOEI TECMO to release NGII on Steam, but we all know they'd rather shut down than touch that codebase for some reason.

I suspect a mix between the popularity of more old-school challenging games such as Elden Ring and the current trend of not taking any risks on new IPs so everything is getting remade, remastered, or rebooted.

I agree, and I said this in another discussion and I'll say it again: this is 2nd best case scenario for action games. I'd rather we get Project G.G. or Scalebound than Bayonetta 3 or Ninja Gaiden 4, but if new iterations are all we can get for now, we'll take them—it's better than nothing, and may eventually lead to new IPs, who knows.

NGL, I would love a new Onimusha that blends a bit of soulslike combat into the RE4/RE2 remake changes with the survival horror elements of the OG. But for the love of god, I do not want to see any half-assed slide puzzles. 😬
