Oni was a slapper. Would love to see it done justice. Not by Bungie though.
Rockstar acquired Oni to get its proprietary engine and killed its sequel, Oni 2 because they got what they wanted
Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.
But I admire your hate version.
Rockstar is pretty shitty to devs, but okay, the Midtown Madness devs did have a glow up because they were under new management
I just recenly learned about Oni 2s leaked prototype existence and I’m salty that they piecemealed that IP into oblivion… HOWEVER…Oni’s engine would become the RAGE engine that powers and gave life to GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 (…and perhaps GTA VI…?)
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
Fuck yeah Neverhood!
The Never Hood is so good.
I thought neverhood was just a fever dream I had as a child
Bungie’s Oni was really good for the era. Right before halo and when they were still releasing games for Mac. Think I still have that disc in storage somewhere alongside my Mac copy of Halo CE.
omg the Neverhood.
I still use the song “Operator Plays a Little Ping Pong” from the Neverhood OST as my ringtone. Never fails to amuse.
My favorite was always “dum da dum doi doi.”
Everybody waaaaiiill
Potaties, love
My gravy, love
Potaties, love
My gravy, lovePotaties and my gravies and pa-peas…

Man, my brother and I were obsessed with the Neverhood back in the day. That game was so weirdly satisfying
I swear one day I’ll beat it.
The day I figured out the mouse cheese puzzle was a major milestone of my childhood
Oni is so good.
I seriously don’t think this game gets enough credit. It basically invented the combat system used in a bunch of AAA titles today. Like the Batman games. Sure they have been refined and improved it, but it was revolutionary at the time.
Neverhood was a fantastic experience. If you like puzzlers.
And that soundtrack was so good
Bandcamp link here - one of my all-time favourite VG soundtracks. Never heard anything like it before or since!
Looove Dues Ex. I just looked up The Neverhood, and it looks so interesting. Definitely going to need to watch a long play of that.
Can’t believe that woke garbage Wolfenstein is in there. /s
Oni! <3
Ahh the paperboard case for Deus Ex. That brings back some memories. It’s amazing that it is in such good condition.
The Neverhood is deeply underrated. It got a spiritual sequel a few years back.
Now I can finally activate my RtCW
