Okami turns 12 - Okami twitter releases some new art from the original artists still at Platinum
- Thread starter WrenchNinja
- Start date
I keep telling myself I don't need to put another 80 hours into Okami. I have a life to live.
But that art...
You can still put another 80 hours into Okami and have a life. Just balence your time better instead of overloading time into one activity at once.
Seriously can Capcom work together with Platinum to produce a new Okami game? Or maybe a spiritual successor? I just need a new action adventure game from Kamiya.
You mean 3, right? I believe Okamiden is supposed to be Okami 2 (unless I'm mistaken).
Yes please
It's a straight up Zelda clone, you'll like it. Get ready though, it's basically got enough content for 2-3 games.
So its a huge game? With lots of fillers also, or fun little side quests like Zelda? I might buy for Switch, but maybe I should watch some reviews first.
No, the main quest line is huge. There's side stuff but progession (and world design) is pretty linear, even moreso than Zelda, but there is just a ton of stuff. It's a huge game and not on filler.

I really wish / hope it gets a physical release on the system. I'd love an Okami cart.
Actually that would be Okami 5.
Okami is the first trilogy
Okamiden is Okami 4
There is a way to have Okami 2.
SONY buys exclusivity rights and announced for PS5
Amaterasu appears in God Of War 2 and lends her brush to Kratos
Then she gets her own spin-off in Okami 2. If you have a save file from God of War, you get the BRUSHES OF CHAOS weapon

It might in Japan but in the west it's confirmed eShop only. It's probably going to be $20 though so it's kind of an amazing deal.
I agree it's a deal, but I still want it on my shelf. If it's physical in Japan, I'll import.
Yeah, it's probably digital only in the west because of the low pricepoint. There's just no way you can make the math work for a 16GB card at $19.99.
Capcom (and other major publishers) need to learn they can still release physical games for a higher premium though. I bet people would jump on a $39.99 limited physical release for example.
Agreed. Include like a poster and key chain and people will pay.
My favorite game ever. It brings me joy each time I play it. The only flaw for me is the gibberish sounds instead of real Japanese for voices. I see the comments about it being long enough for 3 games are already here, but I wanted it to be longer.
Nah. Kratos is a trash tier shit-stain of a character who would try to kill Amaterasu and Chibiterasu. Sony would probably force them to use the original graphic style-
- and take away her ability to jump. Okami is the antithesis of God of War. It's humorous and uplifting.

Cool, a depiction of Amaterasu's myth when she (and thus the sunlight) was driven inside the Amano-Iwato, and the other gods threw a party to make her curious and lure her out!
Since she hid inside the cave for a long period of time before coming out, I hope this symbolizes the franchise hiding for a long time and everyone doing their best to make it come back... but I know that's too farfetched. Still, an Okami 2 is a possibility I think, after Kamiya teased it a couple of years ago along with Bayonetta 3, which was recently announced.

Then you have not played the new God Of War, it's much more to your liking
My heart is filled with joy! Okami is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time. Can't wait to play it again on Switch come summer, and I still hold out hope for a new game someday. Maybe Nintendo can pull some magic strings again and fund a sequel like they did with Bayonetta.
lol.
Okami did feel like at least two games. The shift in the last chapter(s) seemed far and away different in tone from certainly the first chapter.
12 years and it's still my favourite game of all time. By far the best Zelda Game ever. Replayed it this year for the Platinum already to tie in with the Year of the Dog celebrations.
(I also recorded a playthrough through the PS4 share feature that is currently in Limbo because they don't let you record the final boss but lets not talk about that).
One of the best things about the game is that the very first major mechanic it teaches you after getting the basic controls is not how to fight enemies, but instead it's the Rejuvenation Brush Technique to fix what is broken. Puts you in the mind that you are out there trying to fix Nippon and restore it to it's beautiful original state.
If there is a complaint about the game to have is that it's not very difficult, which is a subjective complaint at best (Just because you found it easy doesn't mean everyone will). The battle ranking system helps solve that issue (If the game is that easy, why aren't you getting Perfect Cherry Blossom rankings for each fight then?) and if you want challenge, there are some challenging bonus fights to go through like the Demon Gate Trials and the Kusa 5.
I do wish the game was slightly longer than it was, as others had said. it feels like there should be 4 acts, one for each Season of the Year.
Eastern Nippon with Kamiki Village, Sinshu Field, Agata Forest, Taka Pass and so on is the act of Spring.
Western Nippon with the Ryoshima Coasts and Sei-An City is the act of Summer
And the Northern Lands with Kamui, Ezo'Fuji and Wep'keer is the act of Winter
But where is Autumn? Feels missing in the game. Maybe they had to cut it due to Time and Budget restraints, if you look at the Promo Art in game when you beat it you can see they had a fully fleshed out Dragon Palace City area (instead of just using a retextured Sasa Sanctuary in the final game) and they had a 4th set of standard enemies with the Clay Warriors that only shows up in the very brief Spirit Gate area, so maybe they wanted an Autumn act but didn't have the time/budget to do so.
Regardless, Okami still is a must play for anyone into Games, It's avaialble on just about every major platform (With Switch being very soon) so no excuses. Go out and play it. You will have a great time.

Have you played through the original Okami?
There's an ongoing joke that it feels like 3 separate games due to it's structure.
i'm beyond excited to replay one of my favorite games of all time on switch. it's been so long since i played the game (i only played once, the PS2 version). i'm disappointed that there's not gonna be a physical release but what can you do
I just played the okami remaster in 4k on pc, it looks so fucking good, probably my all time favorite art style in a videgame.
Also the best zelda game until breath of the wild was released. ;)
