Yeah no worries. The shitty YT compression hides such small details but when you get to the PS3 vs PS2 parts, where the original image is scaled up, you can clearly see the filter is there.

No way the PS2 version looked like that

They did the same thing where they posted some very small blurry image of re4 and said that was the gamecube version.

 

[injurai]

How do you spend 3 years looking for a game, buy it, and then not play it?

backlog... and I was more or less passively searching for it.

PS2 is still definitive. Keep it.

Oh I will for sure.

 

[jett]

If it's an HD remake then why PS3 only?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The Witcher 2 approves.

 

[MrFortyFive]

Day 1

This will be my third time playing through this game and I couldn't be happier about it.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Is there a way to gift games on the PSN? I want to buy this game for a friend, but I don't know if I'll have any way to do it.

 

[zroid]

Yea, it helped close out the experience beautifully and had an amazing song. Wii players had to go on YouTube to see it lol

Haha, man. I can definitely see how that could piss people off.

 

[TTP]

Ehhh, that's not really a big deal to me. Waggle = button press. This is, after all, the same mechanic used by the Mario Galaxy games, which I would be remiss to complain about.

It really depends. Waggling is terrible in games that require precise combo-making. Just look at Ninja Gaiden 3 Move implementation.

Not really, you could get him a $20 PSN card....or hijack his account.

Aw yeaaaah. I'm so freaking happy right now, seriously.

I think I'll have to try it out. I've had the Wii port sitting on my shelf for ages; double dipped because I had always assumed it was the better version, just never got around to replaying.

This thread has kind of shattered my supposed delusions.

 

[Elios83]

Not trying to port beg, but is there any reason this couldn't come to 360 at some point? The Clover games are some of my favorites, but I'm not going to buy a new system for them. It was on Wii so presumably a 360 version wouldn't be out of the question, crossing my fingers that this is a timed exclusive.

I don't want to go with stereotypes, but that's probably Capcom's reason behind their PS3 exclusivity... a japanese centric Zelda clone to an american shooters fan-base?? It won't sell, we won't bother.

 

[Edgeward]

I only had the wii version and the waggle and game not interpreting your drawings correctly put me off. I was looking into a ps2 version after giving up on the wii version. Glad that this is now real.

Trailer remind me how much I love Okami's soundtrack.

 

[klee123]

Will most likely play it using the D-pad. Controller was much better than the Wii mote.

Capcom is always known to do a few exclusives. Look at all the exclusive and timed exclusive stuff they gave to MS this gen.

PS3 is hitting its stride

Spoiler

for the 4th time

 

[WrenchNinja]

Wow, those PS2 comparisons are bullshit, I just played a little bit of it yesterday, it doesn't look that bad.

Wish it would be out sooner than "Fall".

 

[boiled goose]

Time to kill orochi 5 more times!

 

[suzu]

Wtf, the PS2 version didn't look that bad did it?

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Christ, the Vita port beggars on the blog. Like spoilt children.

it's a ps2 game being ported to the ps3. i see nothing wrong with sony folks wanting to play it on their vita, happened with mgs.

 

[Madrugador]

Amazing news, I don't have a PS3 but this makes me really happy.

Okami was one of my favorite games of the PS2 generation, It deserves more love.

 

[Seraphinianus]

I spent 3 years trying to find a PS2 copy of Okami, and now this... btw I still haven't played my copy yet >.<

this thing called the internet has had plenty of copies the whole time. how could you be so bad at shopping?

 

[McArkus]

Oh yeah!!!, so happy to see that there is till love for Okami, must buy it again!!!

 

[Gameboy415]

Awesome to hear about Okami HD, not so awesome to hear it'll be digital-only in the US (most likely). :S

I've already 100%'d the game on PS2 and Wii already so I might actually go for the Japanese version this time.
I'll get the nice physical copy I want and I can compare the US/JP versions to see if anything was lost in translation.

 

[injurai]

this thing called the internet has had plenty of copies the whole time. how could you be so bad at shopping?

HA, nice punch in the intelligence. But I was just occasionally looking in various game stores if I happened to be near one.

 

[KTallguy]

I actually appreciate this very much, because the game is soooo gorgeous. But man I kinda wish they made a director's cut or something, and made the pacing better. The game is fucking long.

 

[harriet the spy]

If it's not a spoiler, can explain why people keep pretending there are three okami games?

Spoiler

do they repeat the game three times by revisiting the exact same areas with minor variations?

 

[Kaizer]

Sweet! Can't wait to buy this, Day 1 for sure. Ironically, the original PS2 copy has been sitting on my shelf for years. I tried to start it up twice now and quit after a few hours. I'll have to give it more of a chance this time.

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

Was considering this but since it's DD only I'll pass. Game is way too long to replay anyway.

 

[cacildo]

I hate Okami

 

[outunderthestars]

I hate Okami

good for you.

There are multiple times where you felt you're foghting the final boss only to have some plot twist that reveal the real bad guy and you havent beat the game.

All new areas etc too. Its a great game with lots of content.

 

[Father_Brain]

Because maybe EX Troopers is Japan-only.

la la la la la I CAN'T HEAR YOU

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

i'll wait a bit. This looks like a game that could be potentially a PSN+ free game *fingers crossed*

But if not i'm in for a purchase

 

[MrDaravon]

I haven't played Okami yet, neat! I half-joked that I scrapped it from the backlog because I expected it to be re-released like it seems everything else is, and I was actually right.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

I spent 3 years trying to find a PS2 copy of Okami, and now this... btw I still haven't played my copy yet >.<

I bought my copy fairly close to release I think for $40 tops. It has great cover art. Probably one of my favorite games even though I didn't finish it.

I'd me motivated to get a Vita for this at least eventually if we get a port there. Kind of late in the cycle for me to be buying a PS3. The HD visuals sure are pretty.

 

[Tizoc]

YE-*looks at price*-ye..hey wait what?
20 bucks? Sorry will get it on a sale, I would've gotten it Day 1 if it were 15 dollars (that's how much Stranger's Wrath HD went for I believe)
...unless the HD-ification is done REALLY well...and it's size is around 10 GB...then I might consider it.

This has to be one of the weirder things I've read in a while. You won't buy it if it's [much?] smaller than 10GB?

It's 5 dollars more. What were are you going to do with that extra 5 dollars?

 

[Blablurn]

since i never played it i'm reallly interested in this digital entertainment product.

 

[Giolon]

Triple dipping.

 

[olimpia84]

I might have to import this since I much rather have a physical copy =/

I ISO'd my own PS2 copy to play it on PCSX2 at work, and it's sitting at 3.8GB. You honestly hoped they'll triple the texture size?

 

[Paznos]

Bought it on the PS2 and never finished it, bought the Wii version and barely played it at all but now that it's in HD and gives me an excuse to use my move controller maybe I'll finally complete the game.

 

[Platy]

Still think this part is were they used the DLC filter ....

 

[C-Jo]

How dare they charge $20 for a 40-50 hour game.

 

[elcapitan]

Ha, I just beat the game today. I finally cleared it out of my backlog and they announce an HD remaster. Same thing happened with GoW and Shadow of the Colossus.

 

[Killthee]

Best Buy & Gamestop sell PSN voucher codes, but I'm not sure how good they are at keeping up with new releases.

 

[Yjynx]

Awesome price would gladly double dip if there is Vita version too.

 

[C-Jo]

Do me a favor and beat SMT: Nocturne next.
