-Okamis director, Hideki Kamiya, stated recently:
"The last male character I want to touch upon is Issun in Okami. He isn't a playable character, not to mention you don't really see him during gameplay (LOL), but I think that people who have cleared Okami realize that he was a great main character. Conceptually, Issun is a childish character who manifests this immaturity in his extreme perversion and foul mouth; however, he is also a good-hearted, loyal, and compassionate figure. As Okami is an adventure game, Issun holds a special place as the character with the largest number of lines I have ever written, and as you move through the game, I think he is also the most fleshed out of my characters. Among all the characters I have created, he is the only character that hasn't been used by another creator, and even now, he is a character whose story I feel I'd like to continue some day."
Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, and Silent Hill 2 are some examples of games that still offer a mighty good time in 2024 if you pick them up today.

Japanese game designer & creator of Okami and Viewtiful Joe IPs, Hideki Kamiya, has asked Capcom to let make Okami 2 & Viewtiful Joe 3.
Both are great series, but I particularly want an Okami 2! Okami felt like one of the best non-Nintendo Zelda-esque games ever made. It's funny now hearing Kamiya talk about its troubled production, as the game seemed pretty amazing for its time. I'd like to see how a new Okami would turn out that is not a troubled production!
Veiwtiful Joe 3????? Good Lord in Heaven I've been waiting soooooooo long for any updates on this game.
Day 1 for me
I thought they were at least being worked on with them both being MvC3. Hopefully he get what he wants
Yes, let him make those games! Also, bring Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2 to modern systems, I missed out on those game the first time around.
A new Okami Shiranui Nendoroid has moved closer to the production phase. Max Factory has confirmed a June 2022 launch and opened pre-orders.
I would love an Okami sequal but on the PS3 not the wii.
I WOULD KILL FOR AN OKAMI SEQUEL!
But the problem is those bastards at Capcom own the IP,Oh well bring on Bayonetta
/sigh
This generation just keeps getting better!
Hell i'd even sttle for an HD remix with a couple of motion control additions..
i think it was one of the best looking games when it came out. too bad it didn't get "game of the year" as it should have... bring on the sequel.
I just find it odd that the director stated you didn't really see him for gameplay. What about when you got tiny. He was full sized then... maybe he just didn't want to state any spoilers.
