  Rockstar acquired Oni to get it’s engine and killed its sequel because they got what they wanted

    Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.

      Rockstar is pretty shitty to devs, but okay, the Midtown Madness devs did have a glow up because they were under new management

        That’s interesting, I didn’t know it was the basis for the Rage engine. Thanks.

        Oni still had better hand to hand combat gameplay than all of those games though 😅

    Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.

  I absolutely loved Oni. I didn’t own a copy for a while but I’d play it round a friends house once a week… Those fighting mechanics just felt so tight (for the time) and the gun play was weighty and responsive.

  Shame to hear about the fate of Oni 2 from here, I had no idea
