Okami on PC confirmed to be locked at 30 fps
- Thread starter R.T Straker

Welp. I mean. Like. What do I say? No. I'm not buying this. Shame. I've always been interested in it, but I have other games to play. This is nonsense.
Like idk it's a shame reading they couldn't fix it, but that just doesn't seem worth it, at least not a priority.
EDIT: I may have been a little harsh. I'm sure this isn't easy, but I dunno. Sucks for the devs that they couldn't make this work :/

I mean PCSX2 has a hack that enables the game to run at 60 fps without breaking it on the PS2 emulated version...
Game would look even more beautiful at 60. I understand the game was not built with that frame speed in mind. For most, it will play just fine.
But that herculean effort comment well be met with many "challenge accepted"
Such as Durante?

Eh too bad. Still buying it also props to them for making the Celestial brush working with mouse or steam controller ;)
I also hope someone will find a way to make it 60fps.
Although if WBacon is reading, maybe Capcom could allow for a 60fps branch path on Steam, warning that it may not work as intended ?

In comments of that video, someone said it does break the game. Not in that it wont run but like WBacon said, it fucks with the animations and logic.
That said, I imagine there will be a 60 fps workaround that will have caveats like the Dark Souls 1 fps unlock, which is something Capcom can't get away with as an official thing.
How is it incompetence? They admitted that they could fix it, but that it just wasn't feasible given the time and budget constraints they had to work with.
Okay, let's hear how you'd so easily make a game built for 30fps run at 60 with no issues.
Ports, especially for niche games, aren't going to be given the budget to do a deep engine rewrite.
It kinda does break the game. Wall and double jumping dont work properly. Run speed is wonky too.
Here is a blog by Durante on what I'm guessing was a similar problem for Little King's Story. I imagine the work he did to get that game to do a not-quite-perfect 60fps would have to be exponentially bigger for something like Okami.

Yeah it seems like it... but still.
I hope modders will take a look at this and try something.
I can't. I'm sure it's very difficult. But it's not the experience I rally care about having when I have many other ones. Maybe I'll pick it up down the line, who knows.
Did you read?
I sound hold off from comment such as this until modders get a chance at it. No need for "lazy developer" comments.

I can understand it in this case. If they're selling the game for $20, they obviously didn't have a huge budget for the remaster. Something like the $50 Final Fantasy XII HD remaster has a lot less of an excuse for not sorting it out, for comparison.
Still, 60FPS would have made it an insta-buy. At 30 I can wait for a sale.

That is unfortunate, but in no way a deal-breaker to me. I am just happy that we're getting a port of Okami, with or without technical improvements compared to previous versions. That said, it is nice that we get Steam Controller support.
Fine by me. Can't expect too much from old-ass PS2 Clover ports and Capcom have otherwise generally done a pretty outstanding job with their previous ports so i'll take em at their word that it would've been out of scope to try to get it running appropriately at 60fps.
Picked up the PS3 port but never played it. Guess I'll stick with that though, as there really isn't enough here to warrant a second purchase on PC.
Guess it can't be helped when a lot of stuff are tied to framerate, if it's moddable perhaps modders/the community can look into it.
Would've been nice though.

Not the best video to show it, almost everything on that video is running faster than the original. And some essential gameplay mechanics are not even working with that hack. It's definitely broken.
I... don't mind. But I'm in the minority that don't notice such things after the first 30 minutes. For example, I played Bloodborne after the loading patch, and had a blast while everybody else was busy whining about framepacing "issues."
I think this trend of "everything should run at 100000000000fps/1000k" is hurting PC gamers. People are having fun with Switch/3DS!!!! while you're worrying about such things.

Come on, guys, this shouldn't be a dealbreaker. It's not like they locked out of ignorance or incompetence, it's a PS2 game. It's also not a downgrade, it's not like the game was unplayable on PS2 before - I understand the desire for it to be 60 fps, but it's not always that simple.
