Retro_Link Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mission/2012/06/19/okami-returning-to-ps3-in-hd/ The PS2 classic is coming back to the modern console with a graphics upgrade. Okami will get a re-release for the PS3 with a new high definition look, according to Adriasang.com. It's going to get some kind of adaptability for the PS Move and has a tentative title "Okami Zekkie-ban," which the blog roughly translated to "Okami Magnificent Version". We're sure the edition that heads to the States will have a title that makes more sense in our native language, but part of me hopes they don't. It also has a release date of Nov. 1 and a special offer for those who buy the first printed copies. Could this news get any sweeter? So sounds like it's gonna be a full retail title! Can't imagine playing it with a standard controller after the Wii-mote, but I might pick this version up if the 'special offer' is any good; plus the HD visuals should look great! It's a surprising release though! I mean why?... and why now?... I'd love to think it was because a sequel was in the works, but dare to dream?

Aimless Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It's confirmed for a European release. The game's a digital title outside Japan, though. It has Move controls, a Platinum Trophy and will allegedly be full 1080p, so it already sounds more loved than RE4 HD. One similarity it does have with the latter is that it'll cost you £15.99, €19.99 or $19.99. Two questions remain: Will the PS2 version's paper filter be an option? Why isn't this a Vita game? The machine was practically made for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Does this version require the Move or is it an optional extra? I'm asking because I never played the PS2 version of the game, so I bought it on the Wii. However, I found the motion controls a bit of a nightmare and it stopped me from getting into it. If this has standard controls, then i'll be all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'd imagine Move would be superior to the Wiimote anyway, so it shouldn't be as janky as the Wii release provided they put the work in. Does it make too much sense to put this out on the Wii U with GamePad touch screen controls...? Even if they did, Okami's a monstrous game (that I haven't finished) that I'm not sure I will ever fancy going back through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Will wait to see if the port job gets fucked up like most HD re-releases first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Will buy it and it can join my sealed PS2 and Wii copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I still have the Wii version sealed and waiting to be played which isn't going to happen anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fused King Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It looks sharper, but this game has a distinctive artstyle which doesn't benefit all that much from HD. Still pretty-pretty though. Haven't decided on when I'll enter the Ark, but it won't be long now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathjam Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 And I was just recently contemplating whether to get the ps2 or wii version just recently. Now I can just wait for this. Hopefully will be tied in with ps+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Vita version. Naaaaooow pleaze. As awesome as this game is I'm just becoming less and less bothered about playing games on my TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Whilst I don't think the HD version looks hugely different to the Wii version (because the clarity and colours had already been improved for that)... it really is a testament to the art style that this game looks this good and just continues to improve with each version! I mean, this could be a new PS3 game, it looks that good/beautiful! Gives me some hope for Wind Waker on Wii U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATtheHAT Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Wow, I was just thinking this would make a fantastic port to PS3 with Move, and I had a massive urge to replay this game. Guess I can delete my eBay watching list for the Wii version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Amazing game, really. I probably won't be getting it though, having done everything in it twice (PS2 and Wii) and Okamiden once. I'm Okamid'D out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) That looks like it could be awesome! I'd be interested to see a translation to find out what the tree actually is, whether it's a statue, or some kind of grow your own tree thing or something... didn't they have something like this for Zelda 3DS with the Deku Tree? Also what's on the scroll, or whether that's an in game thing. EDIT: Ooooooh it's a Snow Globe!! Box contents •PS3 Game: "Okami Zekkeiban" •Issun Fluorescent Strap •Okami Cherry Blossom Globe The e-capcom edition comes with a snow globe. The unforgettable scene where Amaterasu descends to the world is printed into the player's memory. Now they can put that memory on display. Give the snow globe a shake to see the flutter of the sakura petals. Edited June 22, 2012 by Retro_Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Apparantly the port is being done by Hexadrive!

A quality HD port! I'm on board for sure now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thing is I know I'm never really gonna have to time to play through this game again, what with other new games taking priority. But pointlessly I still feel like I want to download it just so I can kinda keep it! :p Looks so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hmm... I know that's only a Youtube video but I don't think it looks visually improved enough over the Wii version to warrant another purchase actually. Plus there's no way I'd want to use analogue sticks in this game over the speed and precision of the Wiimote (I'm not gonna buy a Move just for this).
