Rumour: Okami HD In The Works

Andriasang are reporting a rumour (and stress it is a rumour) that a HD PlayStation 3 remake of Capcom’s superb wolf ’em up may be in the works.

The game may be titled ‘Okami Zekkie-ban’ (‘Okami Magnificent Version’).

Okami combined Japanese myths and legends and featured the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu – who just happened to be a wolf who was rather nifty with a paint brush.

Sounds like an obvious choice for a PlayStation Move release, make it so, Capcom!

  1. The more people that play this seminal game, the better. Pity Clover are no more.

  2. According to andriasang its confirmed now! http://andriasang.com/con1j1/okami_ps3_confirmed/

  3. Does it actually need it though?
    (Well other than a version to play on non backward compatible machines.)

    Personally, I’m finding this whole “classics on HD” a bit of a money grabbing
    affair – a bit like buying a tune on vinyl/cassette/CD/MD/MP3/FLAC?iOS…

    • While it mostly is a money grabbing afair, I dont see how thats a problem in this case. We’re getting what we want for the most part, Classic games that look how we remember them on a HD screen or a chance to play games you missed. And at the same time game developers are getting easy profit aswell as outsourcing to other developers who then get a percentage for their work (take bluepoint for example). So feels like a win-win situation to me.

  4. Never played the original so i may pick up the HD version if it’s something that i like. *waits for Roy to tell him to die*
