Though that could easily have been a lie. Either way, I look forward to hearing more about the game. ( I can not speak english well ) The playable character "Samurai" looks like a "european" Samurai. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. Is the playable character "Samurai" a european Samurai?

The picture also shows an European woman on the left, so I'm guessing this game will deal with some foreign relation. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing that. I liked some of of the European influence in the Onimusha games.

I think Nioh means something like the protectors who stand guard outside a gate at Japanese Buddhist temples. I'm pretty sure that's what it is or just protectors of Buddha in general. Anyways, if you guys already don't know Ni-Oh is based on a previously lost script from the legendary Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. The movie, which was set to be Kurosawa's sons directoral debut, was cancelled. The funny thing is that the name of the movie and game was going to be called Oni. Though there is already another game called Oni so I think that's why they originally changed the name to Ni-Oh. http://www.gamedaily.com/games/samurai-warriors/playstation-2/game-news/kurosawas-oni-announced/2441/7893/

LOL that would work if it wasn't for the fact that this game takes place in Japan rather than China Though it worked for Gundam Maybe something to clarify the game more. NI-OH: Ultimate Warrior NI-OH: The Oni Warrior

Torment of the underworld Posts: 715 Group: Members Member #10,635 Joined: October 27, 2007	they cant sue for having that in title.......... Thats like saying you could sue for something like Total War: Medevil. Just cuz there a game called Medevil. Its not the exact title

Thats like saying you could sue for something like Total War: Medevil. Just cuz there a game called Medevil. Its not the exact title I'm 100% sure that Onimusha is trademarked by Capcom. The copyright laws are different though in Asia, but I'm sure Capcom would take some legal action against KOEI if they ever did that.

Considering that Capcom could easily sue KOEI for putting "Onimusha" in their title. If this is impossible, then KOEI can make the title of the game: "NI-OH: Ultimate Warrior" or "NI-OH: The Oni Warrior" I think, these titles also very good titles Edited by Andreas-andi, Apr 10 2009, 07:38 AM.

What Do You Fight For? Posts: 854 Group: Members Member #14,759 Joined: April 15, 2008 Gender Male	Oh, so this game is going to happen. 'Looks' pretty cool anyway . Maybe Tecmo are going to have a say in it seeing as they merged and now Ni-Oh is confirmed to happen. Wonder hoe the gameplay will be too?

Tiger General Posts: 534 Group: Members Member #11,892 Joined: December 13, 2007	( I am from Germany. I can not speak english well ) I think, this is a very good and very interesting Samurai Action game. One of the best Samurai games. And, one of the best Samurai games of KOEI. I hope, "KOEI" and "Omega Force" and "TECMO" and "Team Ninja" work together on this game. Then the game will be better, and then the game is a very good Hack and Slash & Action Adventure game, like the game "God of War 3". And, here are another two current News about "Ni-Oh": 1- http://www.destructoid.com/koei-s-ni-oh-resurfaces-after-four-years-128126.phtml 2- http://playstation.joystiq.com/2009/04/10/koeis-ni-oh-is-back-from-the-dead/ Edited by Andreas-andi, Apr 11 2009, 05:28 PM.

Does that mean the game's been cancelled as well? I haven't heard like, anything since it was announced. Sorry for bumping an old topic.
