Onimusha 3 Whipped Into Shape

Jacques Blanc shows enemies what for in these new screens.

Following up on our Electronic Entertainment Expo coverage of Capcom?s lovely and entertaining Onimusha 3, today we?re lucky enough to present a fine batch of new screenshots, most of which involve Jacques Blanc (modeled after French actor Jean Reno) and his rather non-Onimusha-like weapon.

As he merrily time-slips between 17th-century Japan and 21st-century Paris, Jacques will use a magical whip that emits an eerie sort of paranormal light. This whip is far more powerful than the standard leather-and-barbs jobbie the Belmonts use?one screenshot montage shows Jacques wrapping his weapon around an enemy, throwing him into the air with it, and then dropping him into the ground like a drill. Jacques can also use the whip to swing across gaps and other dangerous places, assuming there?s a suitable hook nearby to latch on to.

Onimusha 3 is due to come out on the PlayStation 2 worldwide sometime next year. Stay tuned for more coverage soon.
