Okami Sequel Rumored to Paint the PS3 Red

Okami Sequel Rumored to Paint the PS3 Red

Okamiis the definition of unrecognized beauty. Anyone who sat down with the title to experience the vibrant Japanese art ****and calligraphy inspired action couldn't help but be swept away by it's charm. Unfortunately, the original PS2 title sold terribly in early 2006. Against all odds,Capcomreleased a pseudo-sequel,Okamiden, for the Nintendo DS, but fans pleas and prayers for a true successor to Amaterasu's original journey may have finally found their way into the 13 Brush Gods' ears.

Just released in the May issue ofOfficial PlayStation Magazine UK is a one sentence hint in their rumor section:

Despite selling like yellow-snow ice cream, OPM favouriteOkami could still get a PS3 sequel.

Clover, the original developers of not onlyOkamibut alsoViewtiful Joe 1 & 2,was closed by Capcom not long afterOkami'sfinal sales figure came in. Although the creative minds moved on tonew studiosandprojects, only a few of the original cast stuck around to help work on Capcom's latest successorOkamiden. No word on ifAtsushi InabaorHideki Kamiya, the producer and creative mind behind the original concept are tied in with the hint, but both have stated in the past they would have some interest in a sequel.

Okami'scelestial brush techniques asked the user to interact with your surroundings by creating brush strokes on parchment that would be used tobring sections of the world back to life, perform attacks on enemies, or create elemental effects like a breeze.A re-release ofOkamifor the Wiiutilized the motion controller to bring the brush strokes to life, allowing users to step even further into the Wolf God's world. We can only imagine a true successor would continue this trend and utilize the PlayStation Move.

Keep your fingers crossed. You can bet we'll be following this one closely.

I'd want the people who made the first game to make the sequel. :|

Off Topic: i wish the ps3 would actually come in different colors......i liked the final fantasy 13 japan verison

I still wonder why Capcom added Okami as a character in MvC3 if the game didn't even sell. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!percech

Yeah I know. I'll have little hope for the sequel if it ever does get announced.

Yeah, if anyone is going to know who Amaterasu is it's probably the people who play MvC.

And of course they realized the cross-promotional angle with Okamiden.

Since the guys from Clover are long gone I gotta say no dice. Maybe if Capcom wanted to do a carefully crafted reboot/reinvisioning of Okami some day I would give it a chance, but a direct sequel to the original is completely unnecessary, especially after Okamiden.

Get Amateratsu known.

Recognition will have people garner more interest in the original game that character is from.

Probably would b multipltform, for WIi/PS3/360

Awesome if they do bring about a sequel to Okami, regardless of platform.

Well, maybe not as awesome if on a handheld :P

Okami sequel will be named Konami (the added n stands for next). It'll totally work!

i can't take it anymore...

too many games. :shock:

Okami would look beautiful with HD graphics, I fully approve it going to PS3. This game is all about artistic design, it can't evolve beyond whats already been done if it goes to the Wii.

I doubt it. If so, Okamiden was a disappointment.

It's Capcom, not Sony, and the game is most likely a multiplat.

Even if it doesn't, it's still not exclusive. But I'm sure that if it's Wii/PS3 cows will start making threads about getting an "HD exclusive."

Okami without Hideki Kamiya is not Okami.

if it's HD it'd be for the PS3.

but yeah, the Wiiboys would have something to boast about as well for sure though :P.

Getting another multiplat that is better on another system is something to boast about?

i disagree.

Okamiden was fantastic. though it was a huge difference from the PS2 and Wii versions of the original Okami, obviously.

You had me thinking that someone I didn't even know was dead, and I was feeling sad.

He's not dead, and I'm no longer sad :D

they'd find a way. probably something along the lines of "but Okami fits better on the Wii!11!!" even though it was released originally for the PS2 two years before the Wii version :P.

It's not like Capcom ported it themselves. While the wii may be a low budget alternative, it's unclear as to whether it's more profitable to develop for the Wii, given 3rd party sales.

I doubt we'll be seeing a PS3 sequel though.

I'm a believer that a 3rd party can do as well as any 1st party if handled right.

Metroid Prime is a great example (along with DKCR). Super Mario Galaxy is as well. It was handled by the Jungle Beat team. Not necessarily the same people who worked on SMS SM64 etc... In many cases the original guys do worse. I mean, look at where Metroid headed under the same management that created previous titles. We got Other M, Fusion, and Zero Mission. None are bad games, but they are certainly not better than the Prime series at all. They made Super long ago, but that was as I said, Long ago.

DKC Returns was pretty good, apart from the cheap kart rides, and the unbalancing between Donkey and Diddy.

and if you don't know what i mean, try to do co-op with a friend and choose to play as Donkey Kong. you'll almost want to beat your friend's *** for how much it caters to Diddy and how unbalanced it makes Donkey.

It's supposed to be like that though...Donkey Kong is supposed to go to the more experienced player.
