Games Radar reports: "Okami was brilliant on PS2, its lush visuals and dreamy atmosphere combining to excellent effect and helping to make it one of the console's greatest games. Even the 'draw shape/line to trigger attack/event' gameplay, which could have been awkward, worked adequately with the analogue sticks."
"But on Wii, the paintbrush now commanded with a flick of the Wiimote, Okami comes together like a masterpiece. At least, we expect it to. Our first look comprised of the first trailer at a recent Capcom event, complete with details on how this Nintendo-bound edition will work. But we've yet to brush test the motion-controls for ourselves. Even so, when the idea makes so much sense, how can it fail to work out wonderfully?"
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.
Okami 2 would be on the cards if things went the right way for Hideki Kamiya, and PowerupGaming love for those things to line up just right.
As many ports as Okami had... youd think Capcom would want a sequel but it probably would just end up losing capcom money if they made a sequel.... how ports does the first one need plus the ds got its own version? Did this game even sell? It would be nice if platinum games would stop relying on publishers and just self publish their own games already.
Ask Capcom iirc Ikumi Nakahra was willing to direct it would love if the company gave her the opportunity to do so.
Since Okami was all about the godess of the sun, why couldn't Okami 2 be about the goddess of darkness?
it looked cool on the ps2.. so i think i will at least rent this... since i'm strapped for cash now.. but looks really really good... (art style) and i think with the wii controls done right this can certainly be something that won't feel gimmicky..
I REALLY hope they can do justice to the masterpiece Okami is, and by the way MR. Gamesradar article writer
"when the idea makes so much sense, how can it fail to work out wonderfully?" the same was said about a LOT of Wii games that ended up with HORRIBLE controls so dont get your hopes just yet >.>
and that it gets the sales it deserved on the ps2.
