When Okami was released back in 2006 for the PS2, it received stellar reviews. Unfortunately, in spite of the positive feedback, not too many people purchased the game. Once Okami launched on the Wii however, people began to hope that there could be at least one more sequel down the line, as the game was given new legs. Still, the ruinous situation with PS2 sales continued with the Wii version. For this reason, it is probably not too surprising that Capcom's Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development, Christian Svensson, is doubtful of an Okami sequel. "I think we need a lot more people buying the current version before we seriously consider a sequel." The one striking detail about this quote is that a new game wasn't fully denied. One would expect that when Clover Studios dissolved, there would be a 100% assurance that Amaterasu would be taking a very long rest. Based on the quote though, the fact remains that more Okami in the future is highly improbable.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
While Sven said that, he actually meant it having higher sales in Japan as well.
With Clover Studios closed down and reintegrated into Capcom, it's highly unlikely that any Okami sequel would be worked on by the same team who made the original.
Pity, a Okami 2 on PS3 would absolutely kill!!!
Okami was a great game i really enjoyed it , it was fun
if they make Okami 2 it's gonna be an Xbox 360 exclusive cuz it's the superior console in the gen and Capcom hates the stupid PS2.5
no! bad capcom! no sequel!
sit!
sit!
honestly this game is just perfect, make something fresh just as okami, not another sequel.
clover was closed down,most of the key devs like hideki kamiya(creator of DMC1,director of viewtiful joe and okami) are gone and are now at PLATINUM GAMES.
if capcom made a sequel,it most likely wouldn't have that same feel as the original creators would intend the game to be.just look at every other dmc after the first.i wouldn't buy it anyway just like i didn't buy dmc4 out of respect for kamiya.capcom makes a game where the star was no longer the star of his own game.
which was a slap in the face to kamiya.and the game came out and didn't add anything new or is considered cooler than dmc1.
no platinum devs.....NO BUY.
apocalypse.........
