      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…?)

              That’s interesting, I didn’t know it was the basis for the Rage engine. Thanks.

        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

      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.

        It was one of the early games I got for the PS2.

        I didn’t really like it tbh. Ammo was way too sparse. Don’t think I ever finished it.

        There is also a platformer set in the same world, using the same main character, on PS1 called Skullmonkeys.

      Some classics in there for sure. For those that haven’t played it, Oni was a quiet favorite of mine from around then. I don’t think it got a lot of attention at the time, or even today. This was Bungie near the end of its Mac-first pre-Halo era.

          I remember the levels being copy/paste rooms, but things like bathrooms and break rooms were absent. It didn’t really feel like a real world people live in.

            I remember them boasting that an architect contributed to the level design. Turns out, real world environment design didn’t map to early 2000’s game design very well.

            Now designing a modern VR game or something, that might be a different story.
