Okami Sequel Rumored to Paint the PS3 Red

[QUOTE="TheKing012"]

[QUOTE="jasonharris48"] You have a point Retro did an amazing job on DK Returns. It's just I would like to see Kamiya work on a new Okami title. That would be sweet.

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.

I'm a Wii owner that owns 2 wii motes, and only 1 nunchuk :P I remember telling myself I would buy one over 3 years ago haha.

On another note, is that Dexter I see? I literally started watching that show today. Got through the first 9 episodes on netflix. I love it so far!

Even if such a game was made, most will care little about it even if it receives high praise by critics, just like the original Okami. I would warn against removing Japanese mythology just to make it more accessible to gamers as the mythology is part of it.

I haven't got around to playing my copy of Okami yet, I just have too many games to get through & so little time. Maybe it's one of those games that would be cheapened if made into a series? I get that vibe from it anyway. Maybe it could be like Zelda & be unrelated (or perhaps not so unrelated) & keep each installment feeling unique.

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

A character does not have to be part of a franchise that sells a million copies to be a character in a fighting game.

Look at the Ice Climbers and ROB in Smash Bros. The Ice Climbers come from an old NES game that has never gotten a sequel, and one is an peripheral that was dumped early in the NES' lifespan.

Who's to say they don't deserve to be in the roster just because they aren't as well known as Mario, Zelda, or Pokemon? They are still good characters that help represent Nintendo's history.

A character from Okami does the same thing for Capcom.

First and most important of all, I also just started watching Dexter. Three episodes in and I'm loving it!

As far as talking about 3rd parties doing well with established series, well, I haven't played Donkey Kong Country Returns yet, but Metroid Prime 1 and 2 are both two of the best examples of a studio paying true homage to a series while striking out on their own. Metroid Prime 3, not so much. Crappy game.

Regardless, what Retro did with Prime was take Metroid within their own vision. It was refreshing. Same with Galaxy 1 and 2. They were so different from Sunshine and 64 that it just felt like this team had a vision of their own and used Mario as a way of showing it off. But none of these games were similar, at least in a direct sense, to the games that they were previously based on.

Of course, original developers do falter at times. Take a look at Monolith, making F.E.A.R. one of the greatest shooters of all time and then following up with a mediocre sequel. However, looking at Hideki Kamiya's track record of game releases I know he's the one that should be working on a sequel to Okami. Chances are he's working on a sequel to Bayonetta instead, but hey, Bayonetta is just as good as Okami in my books.

Issun needs his own side story game on 3DS

Sounds great. I like Okamiden, so I'd be sure to give this one a try.

No Clover no sale!!

Okami is one of the last games that needed a sequel, let alone TWO sequels.

Why not take the animation technique and make something new and fresh? An Okami sequel would just ruin the magic of the original. Sequels aren't an inherently good thing... and can very much showcase the problems in the original.

Yes i would like to see okami sequal on the ps3/wii, okami was one of the best ps2 games.TheGuardian03

Clover made it great though... Capcom wouldn't be able to back up the greatness of the original Okami and Okamiden has proven this.

Welp guess I'm buying a PS3 then...

[QUOTE="kuraimen"]This is probably the best news EVER!!! And to all of you who didn't buy Okami, shame on you!!nervmeister

This rumor has a much validity as the Shenmue 3 threads. Also if Okami sold so bad on the PS2 why should they make a sequel for the PS3?

I think Sony should finance the game development if they want it on the PS3.

PS3? Uhhh, while a sequel would be awesome wouldnt the Wii make more sense?

Low developement costs and IR?

Did the port not sell well?

Maybe they don't want to be limited to such outdated hardware?

Great, now all we need is Viewtiful Joe 3!!!

Capcom...MAKE IT HAPPEN!

i think they should release a version for wii and ps3 and 3ds

Thinking more on it, I sort of agree with the notion that a sequel would be unecessary. Ookami was a huge game and included a ton of Japanese folklore.

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

waltefmoney

i know that.

and if anything, you know it's not coming to the Box :lol: (referring to all the other Okami games).

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."

[QUOTE="Blabadon"][QUOTE="Blazerdt47"]Okami is the definition of unrecognized beauty. jasonharris48

so true.

:D
