Okami sequel coming to PS3?

TVGB: "Okami was the kind of game that won us over in our hearts, though not in sales. The poor performance of this PS2 gem spelled doom for the future of the franchise, but Capcom were willing to give it another shot with a Wii port and Okamiden on DS."

[Yi-Long]

... the game always seemd very interesting to me, but I missed out because I didn't have a PS2 or Wii.

Would be nice to see the original get a HD make-over and get a re-release on XBLA/PSN.

Same goes for Power Stone and Viewtiful Joe btw.

[hay]

If it'd happen it'd say one thing to Capcom:

[lociefer]

if there's a game that proves that games are art this is it

[RedPawn]

I agree w/Fry

[colonel179]

Me too!
I hate Capcom, but if they release a sequel and get it right (and uses PS3 power) all that hate will become love.. and it will be all frogiven

[Rikitatsu]

Without the original team that made the first Okami, I can't get excited by a sequel.

Okamiden felt like a rehash of parts of the first Game and its decent at best.

Unless they get PlatinumGames (the original developers) to make it, then I won't care.

[crxss]

Loved the first one and about to play Okamiden since i just picked up a 3DS! can't wait!

[mt]

you didn't have a PS2 ? now that is weird.

[NeutralGamer]

I actually never owned a PS2 my self :(

Always borrowed my friends for completing games like MGS3...

I had the redesigned Playstation One though:

[Yi-Long]

...I don't know. I just never bought one.

I had a Dreamcast, which was cool, and I followed that up with an Xbox (the original one), and I had fun with those two and never really felt a need to buy a PS2. Not sure why btw.

I do have a PS3 now though, so I'm happy many of the old PS1 and PS2 classics are getting HD-releases now, so I can still check them out and enjoy them :)

[AyeGee]

Definitely agree with you bro.. Okami was one of my favorite games. And Power Stone? I haven't played that game in ages!

[HBK619]

I believe the rumours started when Capcom released Okami avatars on the PSN.

Now, one has to ask, why release Okami avatars when that specific game isn't on the system? BECAUSE IT'S COMING, THAT'S WHY!

Will be great to see it on the PS3 with Move, might even just be worth HD-ing Okami as well.

[tdogg06051991]

Marvel vs Capcom 3

[BlackTar187]

yea okami is a playable in MvC3 and a pain int he ass to fight against at first

[MasterChief3624]

Indeed. Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and that also explains Viewtiful Joe avatars showing up.

[princejb134]

excellent game
loved the ps2 one currently playing the ds game love it

i hate the fact that it didnt sell much, i guess ones people see the cover art is about a dog that paints they seem to turn their head around

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

Okami on the PS3, like how it's meant to be played.

[MasterChief3624]

No offense, but the PlayStation Move is not precise enough for the Celestial Brush stuff. Since it relies solely on the camera and not on infrared (a la Wii), it's much more sensitive and not nearly as practical.

But goodness gracious and by the magical tail of Amaterasu, would I ever love another Okami game. I can't get enough of it! :D But I think some Kingdom Hearts people said the same thing... and also some Katamari Damacy... and look what happened to those series - totally bloated with unnecessary games and sidestories (well, okay, the sidestories aren't unnecessary for Kingdom Hearts, but it is getting way too annoying having to sift through all the side games until we get the true third game).

So I hope Capcom doesn't oversaturate the market with Okami, as Okami was the only perfect game I've ever played, and it ended on an impossibly epic and perfect note. Okamiden is adorable but hasn't quite reached the same heights as its predecessor (as can be expected), but a great little game nonetheless :)

[kikizoo]

Are you kidding misinformed masterchief ?

it's much more precise than wiimote, and perfect for "painting job" (just check the little game on psn)

[MasterChief3624]

Perhaps it's just my personal experience, then... I find the PlayStation Move to be way too sensitive at times, and very touchy in terms of the range. I'm not knocking the Move, I'm just saying I personally don't feel it's the best place to put Okami on.

A PS3 Okami would be gorgeous and amazing, and it would be cool if PlayStation Move were an optional control setting, but still be able to use the regular PS3 controls if you're like me and don't have the best experience with the Move.

[ComboBreaker]

LOL. I guess you haven't seen the writing and paiting demos of Playstation Move by Richard Marks.

Don't make me pulled it up. Go Google it.

[hazelamy]

i do agree that making move optional would be the way to go, not forcing players to use it.

i've never actually used move myself so i can't give an opinion one way or another as to how accurate it is.

but i would speculate that move is significantly more accurate than the wiimote would be, i've got a wii and it's not the most accurate pointing device in the world, i don't know if the motion plus add on would make any difference.

[BaYo182]

i missed on this game too and so many other great games like: Viewtiful Joe, the firs Shadow Hearts Ico and SotC etc etc.. good thing is that Ico and SotC are coming out this gen :D

[zeddy]

hey hey slow down wheres my hd remake first?

[pain777pas]

IT will be with the PS Move and nav controller for sure.

[soren]

you saying it shuld be released on xbox live and psn is a insult ur saying its not good enough of a game to released on disk thats why i disagree with you if it would be relesed on the ps3 it should be redone just like they did on the wii though i dont think it should even be made on the ps3 at all do to the fact no one buys games like that on ps3 ppl would over look it and call it kiddie

[AKS]

Okami without Clover/Platinum is kind of like the Call of Duty games without Infinity Ward. I don't buy either from the pretender replacements for the original developers.

[TruthbeTold]

I don't know if it's true or not but, Yes please?

[GodofwarGoty]

these would be Great Okami wasnt just a game it was Art literally ( you use paint brush and you get to cut trees and make path ways and many more)

[TheBrightIdea]

Omg....i will adopt a puppy if this is real.

[Jack-Pyro]

Adopt one anyway, everyone needs a puppy! =)

[vickers500]

Puppies and Okami bring happiness to this bleak world.

[Rage_S90]

one of the best games of the ps2 era and imo far superior to zelda

[Djinn]

i agree

[soren]

not even close to better then zelda now ur just bein silly o.0 every one knows its not better then zelda the bosses arent as good in okimai and its not as open and the dungens arent even close to zeldas lv so lets not say that

[Rage_S90]

thats your opinion not mine i think its better and love the artstyle where in zelda its to bland imo. The story in zelda also bores me its the same thing since the nes.

[soren]

wind wakeres art style was great and so was tp with its drak and gloomyness the stroy on zelda does pritty much sucks tp story was pritty good actully but gameplay wise zelda beats okami

[BabyTownFrolics]

i would be interested in an okami sequal on the ps3

[SoundGamer]

The only thing for Okami that I have on the PS3 right now are some avatars and Marvel vs Capcom 3.

It would be great if we had a full game release on the system too!

[Alos88]

As much as I want this, I can't see it happening. Okamiden hasn't performed amazingly either. A HD port of the original to the PS3 seems somewhat more likely.

[bearses]

even for an okami hd remake, i would orgasm. i liked the brighter colors of the wii version, but HATED the broken controls.

[TheKindRoost]

if so then move compability would be a no brainer, please make it happen. I loved and enjoyed it very much when it came on the ps2.

[ZeroChaos]

I want a HD remake of the calssic PS2 game with move support!

[bearses]

yesyesyesyseyes. i would never leave my house.

[koehler83]

I kind of doubt it, considering Capcom's less than stellar support of PS3; Multiplatform maybe.

I wouldn't count out an HD rerelease of the original though.

[TronEOL]

Given the fact that they're releasing RE4 and Code Veronica HD (PS2/Dreamcast/GC games with no relation to Microsoft) on 360, it wouldn't surprise me if they'd milk the original PS2 Exclusive by putting the Okami HD version on 360 as well.

Gotta love how Capcom takes Sony's Classic HD idea and whores it out.

Although can you really complain? As long as you're getting the game you want in HD, it should all be good I guess.

[Xof]

I suppose it would be the next best thing to a PS3 Valkyria sequel.

Honestly, though, I'd rather see a remake or an HD port of the original. Okamiden was... not very impressive.

[Jdoki]

"The poor performance of this PS2 gem spelled doom for the future of the franchise, but Capcom were willing to give it another shot with a Wii port and Okamiden on DS."

How can a doomed title spawn a port on the Wii, and a new game on DS. Don't think the PS2 doomed Okami at all!

[ndl1531]

WOW this wuld be great i really loved the first one guys did 72hrs on it very goog game allot like zelda in a way and the graphics were gorgeous even today

[Tdmd]

Hope it's true. My girlfriend would Love this with capital L!!

[ps3rulz]

Please make it happen capcom.

[mamotte]

This, ICO Colletion and The Last Guardian. And Catherine. Finally, no FPS. Looks like it's time to buy a PS3.

[Moerdigan]

FPS were never really center stage on PS3, so I don't know what you mean.

[mamotte]

Agree. It's just that lately, all I can hear is "Crisys 2" "BF3" "Killzone 3" "Bulletstorm" "Black Ops". Later years, there were a lot of variety, like Assassin's Creed, Dante's Inferno, Dark Siders, GOW, LBP... and I can continue. But -and you can see it in N4g- those games dont get attention anymore. Not even the great Red Dead Redemption, or the hyped GT5. And PS Move. They're out of the radar. Completely.

I feel like PS3 is getting back to the variety, and I cant wait for great titles to come, like Mortal Kombat, Uncharted 3, Infamous 2, Twisted Metal, LA Noire, and the ones I mentioned in the previous post.

Dont you feel this like a breath of fresh air, compared to the last six monts?

PD: I'm pretty sure there'll be a lot of people telling me about games that aren't FPS. And I appreciate that, so, please, go ahead! That way I'll be making my to-buy list with my PS3.

[HBK619]

The PS3 has always had variety mamotte. However it just doesn't do business like FPS business.

While I'm a fan of FPS's, I also love variety...it's why I bought the PS3 in the first place. And from that I have rarely had a down moment in my gaming time with the PS3.

I will agree though that it's VERY hard for anyone with a gaming soul outside FPS to really pass up on buying a PS3 now. This year is the epitome of the PS3's exclusive variety power.

[Spaz_01]

I always wanted to give this game a try... just missed out on it. Hopefully my wish will be granted now.

[Swiftfox]

I would happily purchase an HD revamp of the title should Capcom release one. I so loved the game on the PS2.

However, the thought of a sequel without the talented Clover studio behind it doesn't sit well with me.

I'd be afraid in Capcom's haste to rush out a sequel, they wouldn't give it the love the title needs. What's more, it would be very very hard to top the original.

[bearses]

apparently okamiden does a damn good job, at least living up to the original. however, yes. i'd rather just see an hd remake.

[PSjesus]

Dont think Mykami well work on this though.

[Croash]

I've never played Okami (well not more than 2 hours actually, and that's too bad), I guess if a sequel happens, they'd really have to re-release the first one on the PSN and let Platinum Games develop the sequel.

Even if they don't give us Okami HD, as long as Platinum is chosen as the developer, it's great. Any other developer = no, thanks. It's like giving Devil May Cry to someone else than...err...Platinum Games?... Oh wait, it actually happened?...

Well, no more hope.

[blackburn5]

Okami was an engaging beautiful game. It did not deserve the bargin bin status it was given. It should have been the next Zelda. It should have gotten 2 or 3 more sequels.A sequel should have been made for the PS3 with brighter more gorgeous graphics.Make a sequel PS3 Move version of Okami, right now! ......... please.

[devilhunterx]

HD remake of the Wii port please.

[TheLastGuardian]

I just bought Okami on PS2 but haven't opened it yet. I really need to play it soon. I hope Okami 2 really comes to PS3.

[zackacloud]

Capcom create Exluive for ps3

Impossible !!!

Okami sequel i can't say true or false but it gonna be multi 100%

[baodeus]

nice. I can see some move implementation on this as well. Great game and please also bring back power stone 2.

[RockmanII7]

I would buy it

[Aarix]

Why is xbox360 in the tags? I have a ps2 for this game and crash bandicoot and I'm looking forward to playing this game.

[sasuke99]

cuz its a capcom game, and they will never make a ps3 exclusive not this gen

[jc48573]

i blame everything on Call of Duty.

[soren]

agreed lol

[zackacloud]

Of couse

[typikal82]

Give me Okami and Monster Hunter for PS3 and I'm set.

[Relientk77]

I hope they do make a sequel it would be epic

[Newtype]

Need more games like this.

[JasonX43]

It's really sad that great games are being overlooked because most gamers nowadays just wanna aim a gun at enemies and shoot! Okami was a great game that so many people passed over probably because it wasn't a hyper violent first person shooter! I still have my PS2 version and I'm half tempted to pull it out and play it again!

[Lucreto]

I would love a sequel. Okami is my favourite game on the PS2.

[N4Gsukballs]

At this point i would be happy for an HD port.

[madara0sama]

Okami with move support and PS3 graphics = Must buy
I was one of those ppl who bought Okami for the ps2 simply because it looked awesome and I was right.
Zelda+Painting+Awesome = Okami

[Nate-Dog]

That's be great if true, but I don't buy it yet. This rumour corner of the magazine has had a lot of BS that people have gotten hyped over the past few weeks / months that have so far come to nothing. I'd like to see it, but I'm not going to get my hopes up yet until I see or hear something a bit more concrete.

[kevnb]

almost nobody was interested in the game, but those that gave it a chance were rewarded.

[rataranian]

Release the sequel as part of a box set with an hd version of 1 for those that didn't play it.

[cb4g]

That would be a sweet deal.

[Northtouch]

Is it just me or would an okami sequal for the NGP be awesome? O_o

[lizard81288]

viewtuful joe 3 would be nice.

[TheLastGuardian]

An Okami sequel on the PS3 would be amazing, especially with Move support. If it's real there will probably be a Wii version with that has worse motion controls and will only do 480p. The PS3 version will be the best version.

[Seferoth75]

Yeah that is why most games that are on both using motion controls score higher reviews on Wii. Tiger Woods being a prime example... Oh well don't let me ruin your fantasy there fanboy. Go back to whatever world you live in besides reality.

[cb4g]

I've been playing Okamiden on the DS and it hasn't pulled me in as much as the original on the PS2. If this sequel is true, hopefully it can bring back the same magic on the big screen.

[barb_wire]

One of the finest games I played last gen - I must been one of the 40 or so people that actually bought that game.

I'd be happy if Capcom gave us a HD remake of it BUT if a sequel is on the cards.. then yes please!

[newn4gguy]

Kamiya said he won't touch the franchise because of Okamiden.

[MechaGear]

Capcom. Please make it happen, お願いします。

[Ravage27]

The PS3 definitely has a fanbase(HeavyRain,Flower,TLG,J ourney) that appreciates unique games like Okami, do it Capcom!

[ILikeTurtles]

DAMN Okami would be awesome in HD!

[Seferoth75]

Gotta love the ignorance of some people...
Game sold more on Wii with an install base of 20 million than it did on PS2 with an install base of 140 million yet people are stupid enough to believe a company would spend millions to put a game on a conosle with the worst software sales this gen. Makes perfect sense... Oh well I'll wait for the 30 disagrees from hurt fanboys who cant handle the truth.

[barb_wire]

Wow - talk about grasping at straws..

Lifetime sales on the PS2 - 270,000
Lifetime sales on the Wii - 280,000

Ooh, take that butt hurt fanboys, the Wii out sold the PS2 by a measly 10,000 copies.. and yet, you're dancing around like it was a million or more.

No, matter how you cut it - despite being one of the best games (never played) regardless of platform - this game bombed and bombed big.
