Well that came out of nowhere, but I'm hyped
After all this time we’re finally getting a direct sequel to the first game? I never thought I’d see the day.

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.

I guess breaking the seventh seal also revived Fury’s horse. But also, no solo game for Strife? Sadface.

Technically we got one with Genesis didn’t we? Unless the fanbase doesn’t count that one, I haven’t actually played the games really so I don’t know the general reception of that one.

I personally enjoyed Genesis, but it wasn’t a solo Strife game. You play as both Strife and War.
