I imagine there will be Dino Crisis fans screaming from the rafters here (Capcom is often asked about a new Dino Crisis game in interviews). We haven\u2019t had a new Devil May Cry game in a while (Devil May Cry 5 came out in 2019), but I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d pop DMC in the same bucket as Onimusha, which hadn\u2019t had a brand new game in two decades. Ace Attorney is another popular pick, as are Viewtiful Joe, Breath of Fire, and Lost Planet. Capcom has published a long list of games over the years. Take your pick.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"game-scoop-751-the-top-10-playstation-games-of-1999-ott\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Onimusha: Way of the Sword, meanwhile, continues Capcom\u2019s hot streak, which has seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/pragmata-2-likely-after-sales-success-publisher-capcom-says\">Pragmata establish itself as a potential franchise<\/a> following strong sales.
