The February 2001 issue of Playboy picks Oni as the "game of the month." Here is the blurb:
Japanese cartoons are no Cinderella. These anime are filled with gunfights, shapely women and all the other trappings of a good Schwarzenegger shoot-\'em-up. Rockstar Games hopes that energy translates in ONI, its videogame version of these cartoons, created for PlayStation 2, PC and Mac. Rockstar even brought in anime artists to illustrate the game\'s story of Konoko, a policewoman who is charged with bringing down a crime ring. Using new animation technology, Konoko can kick ass with a combonation of martial arts and gunplay, allowing players to disarm opponents and turn their own guns against them. Let\'s see Snow White top those moves.
There\'s also an ad in that issue for the game. I know little about the game, but the ign.com preview was favorable and since bouncer sucks, is this game worth a look?

hmm, I thought Oni was a Bungie game?

PUBLISHER: Rockstar Games
DEVELOPER: Bungie Software

it doesnt say Rockstar anywhere. But it says Take Two. :)
So this is basically nullified since they were fabricating this news, since publishers usually don;t go round changing the way the game looks!!
I would take this, like all mass media reviews, with a grain or two of salt, and wait for the real game reviewers take it for a test drive, or better yet, rent the sucker on release!

Distributor: Take Two:)
NYSE Ticker symbol TTWO....
-
The game developer is listed as Rockstar Games on amazon.com
It\'s on my wishlist if anyone cares :D
-
Oni was developed by Bungie, but when Bungie got bought it went to Rockstar. Maybe Take-Two is the publisher.
-
Whoops... When Bungie got bought by Microsoft, is what I meant to say
-
RatBoy, I think you nailed it:)
-
Perhaps its a case of Rockstar handling the conversion to PS2 while Bungie are sticking to the PC and Mac formats, makes sense to me - btw I think the PC/Mac versions went gold a week or so back.

I replaced the PC cover with the PS2 cover. The PS2 game has a little "R" and a "star" in the corner. Does that stand for Rockstar???
Anyway, was trying to read the back cover, but couldn\'t make anything out... but it looks like it\'s TWO DISCS! I didn\'t know that... all you guys probably did, but that\'s news to me. I haven\'t seen a 2-disc PS2 game yet.

DailyRadar.com has a little preview of it today on their site and it looks like they have the launch date down for the 29 of this month. Most likely that will be pushed back at least once.
-
Yes the R with the star is Rockstar\'s (http://www.rockstargames.com) logo.
WoW!!
---Two Discs!!
---The save file says ? MBytes
-
Two discs?!?! WoW!
This game must be massive...
oh, could I get some pics of it please? :)
Hmm... it sounds interesting...
and yes, cygnus, I think it says MB\'s... :eek: I hope not.. poor memo-card of mine...
-
Darth Joyda, hit the Rockstar link in my previous post. They have a Oni link to it\'s own website, with Pic\'s and videos:)
-
Yes.......another must buy game.....but sorry PS2...ill be getting PC version....hehehehe....... :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

1.) I doubt that Memory Card Save data is correct. No PS2 game uses that much, and I don\'t expect Oni to either. Probably just a typo, like with the Street Fighter EX3 box.
2.) If it really is 2 discs, then one is most likely the main game disc, and the 2nd is probably just full of art work or something special.
3.) I think Oni will be good. :)

I got the demo off the PC Gamer cd [ Feburary issue] and it didn\'t do it for me. Although it was fun at first the levs started getting repetitive and the fighting was basic. the grafx where OK but even running at 1200x1000 [ can\'t remeber the ACTUAl res] with full 4x aa and vertical sync on [ I had some clipping issues which the Vsync fixed]. I can\'t wait to see what the game looks like on the ps2. If anyone with a high band connection wants the demo I\'ll PM me and I\'ll set up a transfer, or go buy the PCgamer mag [ which has a wicked section on ww2 games and previewed this amazing massize online ww2 game :0]

Its already been pusjed back 2 times. I think jan 29 sticks
I have a feeling I will be getting this game by default.
This game is supposeed to be prety cool int th efighting area, rolls flips, boots to the head, gun fights attacks from the side etc...
I actually think Oni will play better on a dual shock then an key-boards and mouse IMO
Still I\'m not overly excited about the game, but I will probably play it as i said by default cause all the really good games come out in March. Of course this gives the game a good cahnce to exceed my expectations
-
I\'m hoping for a Syphon Filter on roids.
I was going to ask Sony for this as my free game but they were all out of PS2 games :(
-
I think the JAn 29 date is a reliable date. I read that the PC and MAC versions of Oni have gone gold and they want to launch all three versions on Jan 29th
The only problem I had with the PC demo was that when people fell down, sometimes they layed through solid objects.

An ad in Playboy said "Coming in February," the ad also says it\'s by Godgames. http://oni.godgames.com
Which takes you here:

Jan29th.

Daily Radar said that a few hours into the game and it was already better than the Bouncer gameplay wise.
Supposedly there will be some cool acrobatic style fighting moves and every button does something.
They also go on to say the 1st half of the game is to bring you along on the controls.

Cool, that\'s my birthday! :D
Ok, so it didn\'t have anything to do with the topic, but I just wanted to share it. :)
Oni is looking pretty cool IMO and I\'ll be sure to check it out when I get the chance (the PS2 version that is).

I wonder what effect microsoft had over the game ?
