Critically Acclaimed Okami Now Gorgeously Painted in High Definition
Everyone get on the Magic Brush!
Published: June 19, 2012
There are a lot of ways to spend $20, but the best way I can imagine is on Okami HD when it hits the PSN this fall.
If you didn't know, Okami was in the running for "most beautiful" game of the last generation. Developed by Clover (who you now know as Platinum), Okami was out-doing Zelda at the Zelda-like genre (is that a genre?). A sprawling 30+ hour adventure that blended intriguing Japanese mythology with a stunning watercolor art style, it was the sort of game that would invariably come up in "games as art" discussions.
As the trailer below shows, there isn't really any other game that looks quite like Okami. If you don't fall in love with Ammy that you clearly have no soul.
How can you not find this adorable?
On top of high definition graphics, Capcom is adding in Move support, which is a natural fit since much of the game centers around drawing on the screen with your celestial brush. They've also thrown in trophy support, so get ready to track down a lot of different animals to feed!
Take if from all of us here at TPS, Okami is a game you want to play.
