I spent three days at Summer Game Fest blasting my eyes with an endless stream of videogames, and the one I'm still thinking about is Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Tragically, I didn't play it: Capcom shuffled press into a room to watch theater demos for both Onimusha and Resident Evil Requiem, the latter of which was pre-recorded, but Onimusha was played live.
That's an important distinction, because it would've been less impressive to watch a playback of perfectly coordinated fights. Instead, a Capcom dev was on the sticks to showcase the swordplay of Miyamoto Musashi, Way of the Sword's protagonist, whose face was modeled after legendary Japanese cinema icon Toshiro Mifune.
