This week in the comments
Across the 360 comments sampled this week, the mood stays largely festive around Capcom's ASMR-style video and the demo, though the usual physical-disc battle and some technical gripes (blur, washed-out visuals) add friction.
An 'ASMR' video catches everyone off guard
The unusual format (hushed sound design, no music) amuses many commenters who praise Capcom's boldness — a genuinely new topic this week.
The disc war rages on
The 'no disc, no buy' rallying cry appears throughout many low-engagement comments, extending a protest that's been running for weeks.
The demo keeps winning people over
Several commenters say the demo won them over and announce pre-orders, continuing the enthusiasm seen since its release.
Visuals called out as too washed-out
Several critiques target dated-looking textures and a blurry, grayish look — a complaint that feels sharper this week than during earlier trailers.
The English accent still mocked
Jokes about Musashi's British accent keep resurfacing, a running gag since the first gameplay trailer.
Top reactions and controversies
The relief of 'not a soulslike'
Dominant takeSince the earliest gameplay trailers, one refrain keeps returning: fans are relieved Capcom didn't chase the soulslike trend, citing genre fatigue.
The rallying cry for physical discs
Dominant takeFollowing the announcement of disc-less consoles, a massive and constant wave of 'no disc, no buy' comments targets Sony, largely independent of the game itself.
20 years of waiting finally rewarded
Dominant takeA steady stream of nostalgic comments recalls childhoods spent on the PS2 and the emotion of seeing the series return after two decades away.
Capcom, the publisher that can't miss
Dominant takeThe community repeatedly praises Capcom's exceptional 2026 lineup — Resident Evil, Pragmata, Onimusha — viewing the studio as being at the peak of its creative form.
Musashi's English accent divides fans
ControversyThe British dub for Japan's most famous swordsman has sparked debate since the protagonist reveal: most find it absurd and plan to switch to Japanese, while a minority defends it as a beloved Capcom tradition.
The demo deemed too easy
ControversySince the demo dropped, a real split has emerged between those demanding more challenge and aggressive enemy AI, and those pointing out Onimusha was never meant to be a punishing series.
