Okami Creator Itching for Sequel

timmyp53|6871d ago |Article|37|

Okami was one of PS2's best adventure games and if designer Hideki Kamiya has anything to do with it, there'll be more epic wolf soon. Kamiya has a sequel in mind, and has revealed that it's something he'd really like to do. But unfortunately for Okami nuts, it's not he's decision to make, so his hands are ultimately tied for the time being according to Kotaku.

Imagine how Okami 2 would look on the PS3 *drool drool*, there would be no limits to what they could do...but too bad it's a Capcom game :( Capcom doesn't seem to like Sony as of late

people kept talking about God of War looking beautiful but to me, even though I didn't play it, when I saw the review for Okami on Xplay when I had G4 (dumb-a$$ Jamaican cable company doesn't have it anymore) it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw. Better looking than any 360 or ps3 game by miles IMO. I still want to play that game.

OKAMI was an incredible game. A PS3 sequel would be great.

After Clover dispanded, haven't they gone off and made another Dev house which is now being catered to by Microsoft?

EDIT: Yup, they're called SEEDS now, Microsoft seems to be doing to them what they did with Mistwalker.

that Clover disbanded. And yes, Seeds Inc. is the new Dev company. Made up of former key members of Clover Studio, Shinji Mikami, Atsushi Inaba, etc. But I never heard of Microsoft having anything to do with Seeds. I'm not saying your wrong or calling you out or anything. But more information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance bro.

Does not cater exclusively to Microsoft. In fact, they did publish games for PS2 in the past.

On a more important note, the former Clover Studios doesn't have the right to make another Okami game. The Okami franchise was created through Clover Studios, which was fully owned by CAPCOM, and therefore the rights belong to CAPCOM instead.

Basically, CAPCOM can give the Okami sequel to another developer within the publisher's company (since all major publishers such as EA, Sony, MS, Nintendo, Ubisoft, etc. have their own development studios they either created or bought).

This could either be a good or bad thing, since history shows that franchise sequels that aren't developed by the ORIGINAL creators has a tendency to be really crappy (e.g. Tomb Raider series, CRASH Bandicoot series, Spyro the Dragon series, etc.).

i always thought the way the game ended, the second part was certain.

anyway, an amazing and beautiful game!!! a must play by all the PS2 owners. took me 63 hours to finish (even after skipping most of the side campaigns). q:

i honestly think OKAMI should have won the "game of the year" title.

bring in the sequel, i'll be the first one to buy! ((((((:

but I loved God Hand more. Fiendishly hard, but once you got your reactions sorted, it was a very entertaining game.

The fact thing is that unless companies like Clover/Seed keep going, this generation is going to drown in FPS and driving games.

nix6871d ago

the game industry needs smaller boutique types developing companies to bring something new to the table apart from shooters and races.

but i think sony is certainly moving in that direction with HS and Lair and not to forget LBP.

anyway, i tried god-hand but wasn't impressed probably because by then i had already finished God of War and Okami.

This would definitely have a place in list of games to have if they start making a sequel. They have too, we loved the first one, it only seem right that they make sequel of Next-gen style. Well I hope he gets some free time to think over.

When Nintendo Wii was introduced and the Okami game was out, the first thing I thought of was that this game would be perfectly suited for the Wii.

Any chance you've heard of the motion sensing PS3 controller... what's it called? Dang, what's it's name?

Anyway, If I want a last-gen Okami I'll replay the PS2 version. Okami was a graphics MASTERPIECE, and deserves a next-gen update, not a wii-make.

The paintbrush motions with the Wii controller would feel way better and way more natural. You'd probably be able to do more paintbrush motions as well. Even the DS would be a more suitable platform.

Armyless6870d ago (Edited 6870d ago )

The original concept behind the game was to create near-photorealistic graphics. The brush strokes worked very well with the analog sticks, and I agree that tactile control with motion sensing would be better. The Wiimote meets this demand better than the SIXAXIS, but there is no denying that the PS3 controller can meet that demand functinally, if not a bit clumsily. HOWEVER, the Wii is not geared in any way to bring out the original vision of photorealistic graphics in this mystical game.

"Ōkami was originally planned to be rendered in a more photorealistic 3D style. However, Clover Studios determined that the more colorful sumi-e style allowed them to better convey Amaterasu's association with nature and the task of restoring it. The change was also influenced by limitations in the PS2 hardware to render the photorealistic 3D graphics.

As a result of the switch to the watercolor style, the idea of the Celestial Brush came about. Atsushi Inaba, CEO of Clover, noted that "Once we fixed ourselves on a graphical style and got down to the brushwork, we thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if we could somehow get the player involved and participate in this artwork instead of just watching it?' That's how the idea of the Celestial Brush was born."

Okami 2 would be amazing but ever since Clover closed my hopes were dashed, I really hope there is a sequel to on of the best games on the Playstation 2 bar none. Now I just hope it's on any platform other than the Wii... don't want to fiddle around swinging and whatnot to play a sequel.

Its the most logical thing to do, the on screen drawing fits better with a Wii-mote, its a no brainer.

even if you dont want it, IF there is going to be sequal its gonna be on the wii for sure.

Man, I clocked in 90 hours for the first game with all the sidequests. I hope they make a sequel for this game. Too bad that Clover got disbanded for an argument between producer Atsushi Itnaba and Capcom management. Must be a heated one. Oh well, one can only hope.
