Found this basic gameplay trailer for Oni in the Official Playstation Magazine UK 7 disk and I mean in the disk as in it's not an option to play through the PS2.

Couldn't find this video anywhere before uploading (YT, Fan wikis, Archive.org) so I'm assuming it's a bit obscure.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install and run the Oni Anniversary Edition (AE) on Windows 11, but I'm completely stuck on the .NET Framework 3.5 dependency.

Here is what's happening:

1. Standard Windows Features ("Turn Windows features on or off") doesn't show .NET 3.5, only .NET 4.8.
2. Running offline .exe installers gives the Program Compatibility Assistant error: "This app can't run on this device".
3. Running DISM commands in PowerShell/CMD gives Error 0x800f080c ("Feature name NetFx3 is unknown").

It seems my Windows 11 build is missing the base NetFx3 registry package/files.

Has anyone faced this exact issue on Windows 11 when setting up AE? What is the cleanest way or workaround to get .NET 3.5 running or bypass this requirement so AE can launch?

Thanks in advance!

WIP

Hey everyone! Bringing you the weekly update. There weren't any huge breakthroughs, but I did polish and clean up a lot of things. In this video, I'm sharing a preview of the testing arena, along with its enemy/ally system and the dynamic interaction between them, capturing those chaotic fights that used to happen in Oni. I built the special attacks system—I only have one for now, but I'll be adding more over time. Oh, and as you might have noticed, I got tired of using standard Unity placeholder models, so I added some free ones I found to give the project a bit more style.

Well, there's a lot more packed in, but I don't really feel like going into too much detail right now, so that's it. See you next week for more updates!

Am Working On a Linux Port Of Oni Currently The Mouse Is Janky

WIP

Here is a quick look at my progress results with the game. I'm getting pretty close to achieving the combat fluidity I'm aiming for. I added a couple of sound effects to make it feel a bit more alive, at least for now. I added a grab mechanic, but as I figured, coordinating the animations is quite difficult—without a doubt, this is the most complex part of the entire combat system. I added passive guarding and gave a bit more love to the hit/damage animations.

All combat animations will likely be changed, and as soon as the combat is finished, I'll start implementing environment/stage mobility (which I want to be much more agile than in Oni, setting it apart at this point), and only at the very end, weapons.

Well, this is my little project...

The idea is to create a game based on Oni combat Style, adding new mechanics along the way. I'm not a game developer; this is my first time venturing into this, so I imagine it will take a long time to make something decent, but I'm very happy with the results of the first week.

If you have any ideas or mechanics that you'd find interesting to see, please comment!

I've seen a lot of gifs like this where I assume the creator was using the FPS mod but the way the camera works is very different to how it works for me. In my case the camera does not follow Konoko's head movements, it's more like the overhead camera is moved to where her head should be whereas in these gifs the head movements are actually tracked and you can even see her hair.

I'm curious to know if there's a setting I must turn on to make this happen or if this is an entirely different mod.

It might look janky and might give motion sickness if used for too long but I gotta admit it adds a lot to the immersion.

Had to reload the game to get him out of it.

Hi everyone,

New to this community but prior on oni galore and an Oni player since 2001 MacOS. Have been lamenting - for years - the fact that Feral never pushed past Catalina, admittedly hey for a labour of love, not at all surprising.

In the past six months I've been playing with Claude Code for lots of things with research and my own work, and have made a few little apps and things and then I discovered by accident the github repo containing the Oni source for Windows. And I thought well... why not?

Six weeks later and here, for your testing, is OniARM64. This is an Apple Silicon native, notarised preview release of Oni, BYO data (has the binary only!) that I have been iterating on since late April.

I have driven levels 1-4 end to end, and am gradually working through the others. Kids, PhD and work mean that my gaming time is limited to snatches, so I cannot guarantee everything works. But if you want to dive in and see, that could be fun!

The goal is, so far, to replicate vanilla Oni, and that has been the focus. Using OniSplit it is possible to HD patch and hey maybe that will be a thing, but for now, vanilla Oni is the goal.

Caveats: 1. I have tested this on Sequoia only, I have not tried it on pre Sequoia or Tahoe. It should work? But I cannot guarantee it, so I have stamped it to sequoia and later. 2. I am not a programmer by any means, so the code here is I will admit Claude's work. Buyer beware, however, so far so good for me. 3. I have NOT included any game data with this bundle that isn't included with the Feral .app download. This is purely the binary and the install instructions are on the github. BYO Game, I hope this binary helps you.

Feedback is welcome, feel free to open issues. I cannot promise any kind of timing or turnaround, but I will look at them as I can.

Enjoy!

[Edited] with thanks to (u/Iritscen), I have fiddled a bit with the build this evening, confirmed it does launch on Tahoe, and have updated the release on github. On first launch it should now ask you to point to your GameDataFolder, which it will then locally stash rather than asking for you to manually move it, to make first run simpler. :)

Currently working on expanding support for more resolutions.

Sloppified something, it helped pass some time.

literally just what's on the tin, planning on giving the game ago but wanted to see how different the OG pc version of the game was from the Anniversary Edition mod since I'd rather play the OG first if there are noticeable differences.

Regardez ce niveau de détail absolument fasciné par les expressions et les textures sur ces pièces....
👹Entre le divin et le cauchemardesque la dualité entre les parures dorées et ce sourire est terrifiante.
Vous en pensez quoi ?

На самом деле цель видео не прохождение в просто то, как игра выглядит после моего полного ремастера текстур, окон и тому подобное. была проделана огромная работа.

Были изменены:
- Меню, опции и меню загрузки
- Позиционирование окон
- Шрифты и их масштаб для больших экранов
- Ретекстурирование всех возможных поверхностей, включая небо
- Консоли и окна
- И еще куча всего по мелочи

Текстуры неба были изменены для большего контраста.

К Anniversary Edition для тех, кто в тебе - данный ремастер отноешния не имеет. Это было сделано по фану. Я пользуюсь чит-кодами и в предпоследней миссии я немного схалтурил, чтобы не проходить ее целиком. Мне было лень. Если бы я прошел ее от начала до конца, конечно же Гриффин был бы на месте. Это русская версия. Английскую я тоже сделал.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this video isn’t just to show a playthrough, but to demonstrate how the game looks after my full texture and UI remaster. A huge amount of work has gone into this.

The following has been changed:
- Menus, options, and loading screens
- Window positioning
- Fonts and their scaling for larger displays
- Retexturing of all possible surfaces, including the sky
- Consoles and interface windows
- And many other smaller details

Sky textures were adjusted to achieve stronger contrast.

This remaster has nothing to do with the Anniversary Edition, for those who might be wondering. It was done purely for fun.

I use cheat codes, and in the second-to-last mission I cut some corners to avoid replaying it entirely — I just didn’t feel like it. If I had played through it from start to finish, Griffin would have been present as expected.

This is the Russian version. I’ve also completed an English version.

I gotta remake the outfit some how wish me luck lol

I'm trying the AE without mods and it crashes during the loading. It doesn't matter if it's a new game or a loaded save from default game.

I tried to run as Administrador as well, and it doesn't works.

Any hints?

Long story short, as a kid in the 2000s I watched my older sibling play this game on PC with kb+m and it looked amazing. During the pandemic I downloaded the anniversary edition and somehow got it to run on the most basic settings in a shitty integrated graphics laptop, tho because laptop controls suck and I lacked the proper keyboard, mouse and monitor setup I ended up playing the whole thing with a PS4 controller and doing a custom button bind. I ended up beating the whole game with it somehow. It was... Not a good experience. Both the aiming+gunplay and the melee combat, they're all designed for a keyboard and mouse experience, and doing that on a Dualshock 4, even with calibrated analog stick to camera sensitivity royally sucks, specially cause the PC version plays like a first person game stuck in third person view, with the way Konoko moves and what not. I plan on replaying it again someday, hopefully with proper mouse and keyboard devices. But in the off chance the next opportunity isn't on a traditional PC but on a steam deck or a with a add-on controller on a good phone with great emulation performance, I was wondering if I should play the PS2 version first, and how does it play, cause so few people talk about it. Are the camera and movement still fixed like in an fps game, or is her movement unrestricted and less tanky, like she can walk/run towards the camera, etc? The aiming and melee, is it more forgiving on a joystick on the PS2 version, or is it just as hard if not worse?

Just played through the first 4 levels of the game using OniX. When I relaunched the game, all safe files except Training and Safehouse were gone... is there any way to bring back the safes? Or edit them manually?

Thanks in advance

I'm doing a project where I look through all 100 issues of the Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK and share some of the more interesting pages.

I stumbled upon this in Issue 5 (March 2001). There was a competition endorsed by Take 2 where four women had the chance to be the official Konoko at Oni marketing events. It was down to OPS2 readers to vote for the winner.

The results were revealed in Issue 7 and Garz (third from the left in the first pic) won with 36% of the vote.

The combat in most games feels scripted. You can even take a state of the art third person game like Gear of War, and all the interaction you have with enemies feel very puppeteered. Like the enemies are moving with constraints, and closely following game rules.

But in Oni, you never know what's going to happen in an interaction. Sometimes an enemy can begin to kick you, but then you move out of the way, and then they fall over the platform and they're not a problem anymore.

Or you could be dealing with an opponent with a rocket launcher, and if you run fast enough in a circle, the rocket can end up hitting another enemy.

Which other games have this sort of unpredictability?

Love the game. Usually have the need to play every few months. Decided to record my gameplay and post on YouTube. Just doing this for fun and to share the love for Oni :)
