Late Request To Game Developers: Please Cut "Okami" Wii

Stephen Totilo, Editor of MTV Multiplayer writes:

"Okami," lovely as it is, was loaded with busy-work. So Capcom and Ready At Dawn, now's your chance to step up. Don't give us bonus levels for the Wii version. Give us bonus cuts. Make like Ameratsu's paint brush and chop that thing down:
1. Make that intro shorter; or at least auto-scroll the text
2. Cut at least one Orochi battle
3. Replace in-game currency with a natural progression of skills for the player to gain or find some other way to remove some of the game's collectibles

This is a new era, game developers. Now's the chance. Take out the pruning shears. Show people that the best way to honor a classic game is to remove the old game's warts, blemishes and unsightly extra growths.

Don't mess with perfection

[Rikitatsu]

Changing it will only lead to massive failure

[skynidas]

Okami was the best game on the ps2 after god of war 2

[Timesplitter14]

Okami, SotC and MGS3 are my top 3 PS2 games. I couldn't tell you which one is on top

[bootsielon]

Wiitards ;)

[DeckUKold]

Fanboy I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES BILL GATES D--- hit your throat a DAY!!!=(^o^) OPEN WIDE AAAHHHHHHHH GULP!!!
srry caps

[socomnick]

correct me if Im wrong but I believe boot is a ps3 fanboy :/ He has a white knight story avatar.

[DeckUKold]

replace bill with phill harrison

[Robeezy]

He is right though, I have a Wii and it is so dusty.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Those demonic bosses was so f**** awesome!

[Timesplitter14]

What a bunch of noobs. Okami was perfect as it was (but being able to fast foward the intro would be nice). We must try to keep longer games alive, not shorten them.

4. Just go and play Halo instead if you're going whine every time someone tries something new.

[ChickeyCantor]

i bet if Okami didn't go Gold on the PS2, but on the Wii you guys would be bashing it into the ground.
" it looks kiddi"
" cell shaded? thats just stupid"
yada yada yada.

o bootsielon and rofldings, i hope there is a cure for you 2 because it seems you guys have some fanboy illness.

i have a PS2 but i never liked the idea of drawing objects with a controll stick, now its coming to the N-wii it got my attention alright.
hope its good.

[malingenie]

Who the hell does this guy think he is?

[DrPirate]

Trust Ready at Dawn to do a good job. They are excellent developers with some pedegree on working with low-powered systems (like handhelds)

I'm not worried about how this game will turn out, if you own a Wii, and never played Okami, you should get it. Enjoy this one guys.

[sandip787]

please, messing with this game is blasphemy

[sandip787]

whattt is this guy on about?

"You must know that many people who played the game thought it was over when, technically they were only halfway through it. I’ve spoken to a few players who feel that way."

i thought it was awesome that a game i believed had just finished ended up being no where near the end!
this guy should shut up, before people get really angry

[Timesplitter14]

Yeah I was really happy to see that the game didn't end after the first Orochi battle. That was great

[Charlie2688]

Is he F-ING INSANE!

He is basically suggesting chopping the masterpiece for the lazy?

[Megaton]

Arg, no cuts! (though 3 of the same exact Orochi battle did kinda suck).

[DeckUKold]

i never played the original

[The Snake]

Do it. You owe it to yourself.

[gamesblow]

23 minute, non skippable, intro... = Uncalled for. It's a complete and total snooze fest, at that. Most people will be turned off of the game because of their stupid ass artistic integrity.

[cooke15]

i approve this message.

also please spice up the graphics if possible..

[Enigma_2099]

... like David Perry, he has the right to voice his opinion, but why in god's name would anyone care what it was?

you want to improve Okami... make those friggin' stone wall puzzles easier to deal with...
