Did they say who did the restoration work? I'm wondering if one of Sony's internal studios restored it like the God of War Collection.

Damnit, now I wish I had a PS3.
Sad though that a 6 year old game might be a system seller for me.

Long huh? Like how long? As long as Xenoblade?

Wan't all that interested...until I watched the trailer.
Such a pretty game, but I really want a physical disc. Hope the Japanese version has an English text option.

40+ hours
Something tells me profit margins would probably be too low on a $20 retail release. I haven't seen a game launched at retail this gen for less than $40. Oh, and Okami has already bombed at retail twice.

It's about 30-40 hours for your first play through.
That said, people say its long because you will constantly think the game is over only to find that it's not. To ME, this is one of the best things about Okami. How could more of such an amazing thing be bad?
To apparently a lot of others though, this is somehow a bad thing. I daren't attempt to decipher such bizzare logic.
40-50 hours,in terms of story it's much much longer than xenoblade,okami is essentially 3 different games

Isn't some of that data 'dummy data' or such? GoW 1+2 together are 12-13 GB on PSN.
OK fine maybe i was exaggerating the size issue, my bad.
Capcom (and other Japanese companies) still do exclusives, especially if the game is heavily Japanese-themed/styled.
I loved this. To hell with the naysayers!
How many of you guys have gone back and played a PS2 on an HDTV? Most games look terrible.

Never played Okami, but I've heard the music. It's nice. Too bad I don't have a PS3 yet to try this.

Finally Capcom doing something right.

Interesting. Never played Okami before so I might just have to get this.

So, is this just going to be an updated port of the Wii version?
Exactly. If this ends up like the Wii version, I'm not going to buy it.
Yeah, they looked fine on SDTVs due to the nature of CRT and being SD and stuff but when upscaling to HD + higher clarity display technology, things get nasty. Especially when you run into some of the shortcuts/tricks devs used to use or were forced to use due to hardware limitations. Numerous games were sub-SD (RE4 was like 360p), interlacing, that weird flicker filter (I think it was called that) AA method that just sort of smears the whole screen and causes ghosting, etc -- all these things become painfully apparent on HDTVs. They do not look nice.

right title, right price. sad the original crew won't see the $, but even so, bought so hard.

Not even a little bit. Game was made with the PS2 controls in mind.

The drawing did
For whatever reason (I guess to avoid being compared to Twilight Princess' controls), they made it so the attacks with the shield have to be done in a rhythm. You need to basically move the wiimote like a metronome to combo.
Beads could still waggle to win and I don't remember if swords were particularly different but I am pretty sure they were like a much slower metronome. The problem is, seeing as how this was a ported game by developers not even tangentially involved with the original version, there were no instructions to explain this rather unnecessary change.

If they don't fuck it up, this will be the last Capcom game I buy.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
No 360 version makes me sad. =(
On another note, VJ1&2 should also be HDified.

So bought. Only game I could describe as brilliant that I could never finish.
It's real!?
Day one, woo!
I love brony reactions.
Define most? I played Shining Force Neo and .hack//G.U. 1-3 to completion on my PS3 just last year. Plus bits and pieces of other PS2/GC/DC & older games on my hdtv! Stuff all looked fine to me!

Why not 360/PC?
I imagine because the source code is pretty much lost. Part of the reason the Wii version wasn't identical to the PS2 version (I refuse to say it was worse because ultimately, it wasn't) was because they had to rebuild large chunks of the game since Capcom lost so many of the original HDDs and workstations containing the original code.
That was less than 2 years after the game came out. It's probably much, much worse 4 years later.
