What makes this extra amazing, no one would have thought this to ve possible, simply because of circumstances. When Geoff said "the stars had to align", he wasnt kidding; multiple things had to happen for this to be remotely possible. Hideki Kamiya didnt just return, he revived his old studio.

[@frtd12345]

@@RicochetForceI think one of the reasons Capcom has given the series and Kamiya another chance is the success of the HD release. It sold a lot better than the PS2 and Wii versions especially on Switch.

[@Roboto82]

​@@frtd12345Also I think this is the kind of thing that can only happen when a publisher is riding high and has generated an overwhelming amount of good faith from the community. It can afford to take risks, something that you rarely see these days.

[@renren47618]

​@@Roboto82Yes, at the moment Capcom is probably the big publisher with the best reputation among the game community and they are so safe that they could afford to make a move like that and if things go right, Okami may make a lot of success and become a new big IP of theirs and Clover Studios can come back as a new big studio to bring them more money while having a couple of great IPs with them.

[@vencelfoldi8236]

Even with Okami being a beloved cult classic aside, this is surreal on so many levels. The studio behind it had closed nearly 2 decades ago, and Kamiya had seemingly long moved on. But now the studio is being rebuilt with Kamiya at the helm again, presumably just so that they could create a true Okami 2, worthy of the first game's legacy. Within the gaming world's rules, this is nothing sort of an actual miracle, and I'm glad that Geoff himself managed to convey that.

I've never played Okami, but I've never seen a game reveal elicit such strong emotional reactions in so many people. Tenma of all people saying she's fine with not getting Silksong speaks volumes about how much she must love Okami. I'll definitely try it sometime.

[@ThatDudeWithBoobs]

Absolutely do. It's art style is beautiful, it's based off Japanese mythology and is just super fun in general. I've played it countless times at this point, and it's my all time favorite game. I've seen it essentially compared to Zelda a bunch, so if you're into that style of play, you'll enjoy it as well 😃

[@Macabrellian]

_Ōkami_ has been in my top ten games of all time since 2006, and one of the very few I consider to be practically perfect in every way. I'm so excited for all the folks who will get to experience it for the first time after this announcement, (which, by the way, the fact this has been announced at all is nothing short of a miracle if you know the history behind Clover Studios and this game's development.) All that to say... you have to play _Ōkami,_ dude. The HD remaster is on pretty much every platform, a damn solid substitute for the OG PS2 version, and super affordable.

[@brancracker]

The HD version is on sale right now on Steam and Switch

[@Kejosruler]

I also haven't played it yet but after watching all those reactions to the announcement of the sequel I will change that in the near future

Okami isn't the most widely recognized game, like an Elden Ring might be, or The Last of Us. But most who played Okami adore it. And it's not just the art and the music. The story themes and charming characters have a way of staying with you. The way the ending made me feel is something I will never forget. It is, perhaps, my most precious of gaming memories.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

I hope this game sells way more than the og game.

[@claytabulusshogun]

I love how the hype for Okami was already huge as soon as we realized it then they have to bring in "Game Director Hideki Kamiya" for good measure...

I never played okami but my roommate grew up with it and recently replayed it, when i tell you she jumped to the ceiling when i showed this to her lmfaoooo!!! Started screaming so hard her voice cracked multiple times saying "OMGOMGOMGOKAMIIIII"

[@kenwayconnor4216]

Then what are you waiting for? Play the game and feel it. It's only 5$ on steam. It's a fucking masterpiece. You won't regret it, trust me

[@yeetkunedo]

Capcom killed Okami. Let me explain. Clover wasn’t a moneymaker. They made quirky games in an era where AAA was starting to become a real thing. Capcom wanted to take that money and invest it into blockbusters that made shareholders happy, not keep producing games that would be appreciated by a few at launch, but leave legacies that would live forever. So, to justify closing Clover, they approved a game with the biggest budget the studio had ever seen - Okami - and then refused to market it in either Japan or the west in order to “prove” that there wasn’t a market for the games Clover wanted to make. What they didn’t expect was for that game to be the single greatest example of concept-to-product harmony the video game industry had ever seen, and even to this day, has ever seen. Everything about Okami fits together cleanly - its story, its world, its characters, its music, its art style, and its gameplay mechanics all fire in perfect synchronicity to provide an experience that isn’t possible in any other medium except video games. And as Capcom intentionally hamstrung the game by rushing its development and not marketing it post release, Okami began to garner the sort of “game of the year” praise that caused it to eventually become the Guinness World Record holder for the video game with the most critical accolades despite being a sales failure. Capcom was now caught in a serious situation in which they slaughtered a golden egg laying goose. They released the game on the Wii, they made a pseudo-sequel for the DS, they remastered the game in the PS3 era and rereleased that remaster on every platform imaginable, just to try and make up for the crime they committed. Fast forward to the recent past. Capcom, under new management leadership, put out a survey asking fans what series they wanted to see the company revitalize. Okami scored _shockingly_ high on that survey, the results of which are available on Capcom’s 40th anniversary website. In October of 2023, Hideki Kamiya announced that he was leaving PlatinumGames. It can be theorized that Capcom is the reason for that departure, as he was the creative engine behind every facet of Okami’s production. It is _his_ baby. And Capcom not only knows this, but probably feels a great deal of responsibility about how they fumbled every meaningful bag in the industry’s history with regard to that game and the creative staff at Clover. So not only are we now seeing the announcement of an in-production sequel to the world’s most deserving game, but we’re seeing a resurrection of the creative team responsible for it, and Capcom likely knew that it couldn’t happen unless they made the kinds of amends that would align those stars. Capcom is taking responsibility for killing Okami.

[@Kerem-mf9oy]

Omfg... The last line hit me hard. And it took them 18 years to take accountability and responsibility for butchering Okami... Idk if I should feel happy that Okami is finally getting a sequel or angry that it was Capcom all along that contributed to the failure of this gem...

[@RedGamerFox]

@@Kerem-mf9oyWe can be two things at once. Capcom can’t take back what they did, but given the effort they seem to have put in to make the sequel happen, I’m willing to give them a chance to do what they should have done the first time. Edit: As long as they don’t pull some greedy bullshit with it, I should add.

[@Tony2-Dirty]

Pat Stares At said it best in his live stream of it. All the people Kamiya basically said f off to are likely gone by now since Capcom is under new leadership, so he was free to come back if he wished.

[@yeetkunedo]

@ I don’t think it was quite like that; I think the current leadership knows what kind of fuckups the prior leadership made, and they have to get away from making what makes Capcom the most amount of money and get back to what makes Capcom the beloved company it is. Capcom has multiple generations of fans, and they’ll alienate all of them if they just stick to MonHun and Biohazard ad infinitum. The best way to solve this problem is to ask fans what they want, and then give them what they want. When they say “we want Okami” _worldwide,_ then you really need to get the man responsible for that original vision if you want fans to respond positively to the end product. So, it’s less about Kamiya feeling welcome and safe back home again, and more about Capcom making sure Kamiya has a welcoming, safe place to come back home _to._ And that’s what we’re seeing. I guarantee you his comeback deal was both lucrative and contractually beneficial for his long-term goals. He’s in his early fifties. As someone in their early forties, I get the need for something both stable and reliable, and it’s a safe bet that he’s going to be there for the remainder of his career.

[@teleitda8805]

it's honestly funny how little "mainstream" reactors are here. aside from like max and roger, it really shows exactly how okami had an impact: either you have never heard of it once, or it was there for your BEST childhood years.

[@Dreikoo]

Bro I was like 19 when I played it. And it hit right as I was fully into learning Japanese too. Literally the perfect game to motivate you to learn 2000 kanji haha.

[@drudle]

Unfortunately, the game is still nearly 20 years old. A lot of mainstream reactors were like 8 when this came out. It being a sales failure on top of it doesn't help. 😢

[@BJGvideos]

I have no emotional connection to Ōkami in any way and yet seeing all these overjoyed people is making me cry as if I had a personal stake in it. Same as the reactions to Metroid Dread!

[@adityasivaram6175]

I think more than anything, Ōkami’s return, with Hideki Kamiya directing speaks to how the industry isn’t a lost cause to pure capitalism and financial greed just yet. By all accounts this is not a game that should receive a sequel, because despite it being one of the most creative and artistic games ever, it sold like shit. Enough to shut down the studio that made it. So it’s really a wonderful thing to see Ōkami back.

[@sewaprolo]

​@adityasivaram6175, but there were many big reasons why it sold so poorly. Capcom gave it zero marketing, the PS2 was already on its last legs, PS3 was just a few months to be released, completely overshadowing the game, and Capcom was concerned at the time with things like SF4 development. And yet, the game was critically and publically acclaimed. This very deserved sequel is Capcom owning up to past mistakes. Capcom owed us, and this is them finally making amends for doing their fans dirty back then. This game very much deserved a sequel.

[@peachymiku6432]

Same! I love seeing my fellow gamers happy!

[@rogueraccoon1840]

Dude you gotta play the first game then cause it is a fucking masterpiece

[@adityasivaram6175]

@ oh yeah I know. Not saying that why it sold poorly rested on Clover’s shoulders. Capcom is 100% responsible. But regardless it became one of those real cult classic games that was a genuine artistic masterpiece. So happy to see it get a sequel. Just that financially, corporates will not see a reason to make this game. But glad they did. Enough to let Hideki Kamiya restart Clovers as a whole for this.

[@dogvip]

As a Japanese person, I'm surprised that Okami was so awaited overseas.

[@zacharyw213]

It's a cult classic for sure. Amazing game!

[@TrinityBloodFan02]

Shinto mythos isn't well known in the States and Europe, so for a lot of us, it was our first real introduction to old Japanese folklore. And because we don't know the old stories, it gave us more room to enjoy this new one. Okami's Amaterasu is very popular for being a kind and slightly silly divinity. ❤

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

It is a niche IP, but very beloved.

[@CeruleanRogue]

It's incredibly beloved in a lot of gaming circles over here. A lot of us count it as either our favorite game or the game that got us into gaming in the first place.

Huge props to the people who recognized the significance of Kamiya as a director back at Capcom. Clovers is back, and I hope they can continue making absolute peak games, but without Itsuno we'll probably never have the greatness that was God hand again.

[@renren47618]

Now that Itsuno is out maybe Kamiya could be the next person to take control of DMC since the series are in an uncertain place now, especially since I personally think that the best move they could for for DMC now is making a Remake of the first two games.

[@MrVince329]

Shinji Mikami was the one behind God Hand. But yeah I wonder how Capcom's character action games will be without Itsuno.

[@AirahsELL]

@@MrVince329 In good hands. People praise Itsuno because of DMC3-5, mostly because of DMC3 since 5 has engine issues and is a bit slippery in places. They also forget Itsuno directed DMC2.

[@Callard22]

​@AirahsELL to be fair, itsuno kinda got slapped into dmc 2 with barely any time for work to be done. When he had joined, the only actually fully programmed thing that was completed was the stinger move and you remember how trash that was. He made dmc3 because he didn't want dmc2 to be the last thing tied to his name so I still have faith in his direction.

[@northwindkey]

@@AirahsELL You're insane if you think it's only DMC3 that people love Itsuno for. People love 4 and 5, only a very, very, very niche crowd has any problems with 5. Most find it the best game in the series. It's not my favorite, but I'm also a weirdo who liked the reboot fine (Story was kinda edgy-the-hedgy nonsense, but gameplay it was still pretty top tier). Also Itsuno didn't really direct DMC2. He was shoved onto the project at the last minute to make it at least function because it was borderline Sonic 06 level broken, the actual director ended up uncredited.

[@SentaiYamaneko]

When I first saw the trailer, I was too excited to notice the little hints leading up the the reveal. But on rewatches, I realized that I recognized the sound of Ammy's pawsteps.

[@KooriGraywolf]

The fact that so many people forget, didn't know, or don't acknowledge Okamiden is precisely why we needed a proper sequel. Okamiden was alright but nowhere near the calibre of Okami.

[@rushalias8511]

Okamiden is and I say this with respect....it feels like a sidegrade probably due to the nature of being made for a handheld and thus built on a smaller scope. Than okami

[@Ellert00]

I played Okamiden but it was a game that left me very frustrated. It had a lot of potential but the low specs on the original Nintendo DS which it was designed for meant maps that had been designed for a PS2 game got cut up into 3-5 parts so any momentum the game ever had got cut short by endless loading screens. And a map being cut into 4 pieces may not sound so bad on the surface, just 4 times the loading screens right? But no, the quests in the game were not designed so you could finish them within each section of map, instead (as would make more sense normally) sending you back and forth across the larger maps meaning you'd go through those loading screens multiple more times. It's hard for me to describe just how horrible all the loading was, never have I played a game before or since that made me stare at loading screens as much.

[@MaxusFox23]

​​@@Ellert00 the only other game that comes to my mind when it comes to eternal loading screens is Sonic06, didn't know that was also a problem with DS games. And keep in mind Ōkamiden was developed as a spiritual successor rather than a sequel, that's why they added "den" ("chronicles") to the name, more akin to spinoff territory despite continuing the story in its own way.

I was late to the Okami game, only having played it during Covid lockdowns and dealing with my stepsons epilepsy at the same time. This year, things got even worse with his epilepsy and I really, really struggled with everything that went wrong for us in 2024. This announcement is exactly what I needed to lift me up and keep me going, and give me something to look forward to. This game is everything I love. It is perfection to me. It is comfort. I even have a full sleeve tattoo of Amaterasu, Oki and soon to be Issun. I have been watching so many reaction videos and crying everytime I hear The Sun Rises in the trailer. This game got me through so much and I cannot put into words how freaking excited I am that Hideki Kamiya is back and Capcom are finally doing something huge for the fans 💖 we NEEDED this.

Everyone kept asking me if it was Okami, and so last year I got the game for switch to try it out for the first time and IT IS SO GOOD (only like halfway done) I feel so bad for the people who had to wait so many years for this announcement, but oh my god this news right here already tugs at my heartstrings

[@mr.ilikespam6081]

shout out to the people who knew the deal with the naming of kamiya's new studio Clovers

[@madmulk9]

Every time I see the trailer I tear up immensely. Even though I didn't have the most attachment to Okami in the past, it's still so incredible. I might just have to get the hd version on steam in celebration

[@NoMereMage]

Everyone’s collective reactions remind me of all the people who were part of her journey at the end of the first game lending her their hope and praise so she could regain her strength

[@roqm0z666]

The thought of Ammy having no 0 faith and the fans recognizing her giving her her markings and divine instrument back makes me cry like you wouldn’t believe

[@ryanjenkins9067]

I love that most of these reacts, it doesn't even register until Amaterasu's defining features appear, but for me, it was when the painted trees appeared with the flute. I was shitting and crying before a wolf was even onscreen.

[@galactirabbit]

Haha it was the strings for me. I think I link that instrument with Okami way too much and freaked out by that first note...

[@sansfangirl4life439]

the genuine, pure happiness not just for okami, but its director also QAQ may we travel with Ammy again!!

[@Cruxgg]

You HAVE to check out Snuffy's reaction, it was the most wild reaction I've seen of the reveal. She absolutely adores Okami and lost her mind. Surprised it wasn't in here!

[@gatangela2008]

honestly, reactions like this remind me that truly this community is NOT that different so many of us screamed and cried at this announcement, it's genuinely insane

[@xxargonautxx9790]

This is why we love Geoff. Yes he might advertise the HELL outta his award shows but him choking up with this announcement. He knew how special this game was to us. Can’t wait for it and i have to play the game AGAIN! Like NOW!

[@chief664]

So many freaking franchises just rose from the dead Okami, onimusha, Ninja Gaiden, Turok I never thought I'd see any of these again

[@wewetan1]

I love nearly everyone just omitted the existence of okamiden 😂

[@picaludica]

Okamiden wasn't really a full sequel, though - it was a "gaiden" game, a side-story/spin-off on a portable console. =) It also wasn't directed by Kamiya. Even without that distinction, though, it's been 14 years since Okamiden, and neither of the games had done well. For all intents and purposes, that IP was dead and buried. This is why this announcement and the way it was done - a high profile production - feels like a miracle =)

[@FluppietheRockruffFan]

​@@picaludica It was more of an Okami 1.5 to be exact

[@nugget3687]

Okami is just one of those games where even if you've never played it, if you play games, you've heared of okami. And yet despite that, all we've gotten is ports keeping it alive. Omami deserves this

[@silverlightyoake9938]

The IMMENSE chills I get when The Sun Rises starts playing... I owe a lot to Okami as an artist and as a writer.

[@darcidious99]

I waited 13 years for this to finally happen... I was about to lose my shit but my grandpa was sleeping so I just settled for hyperventilating and tearing up for like 10 minutes.

[@Khaoscntrl]

Y'all when I say I did NOT know about this until this morning, hearing it second hand and then SEEING IT. REALIZING ITS REAL, KNOWING ITS SOMETHING THATS ACTUALLY HAPPENING. I could cry man.

[@lady-aries-wolfy]

I’m so happy to see people truly love Ōkami, shows that the game truly has a special place in our hearts. I cried the third time upon seeing everyone’s reaction, if you haven’t played the 1st game please and I am begging you, play it, now.

[@OtakuMan26]

If you own a Nintendo Switch, the game is on sale for 75% off making it $4.99 USD. No excuses for anyone who hasn’t played it yet (me included), this is the time to get it!

[@lady-aries-wolfy]

@ had the switch version for awhile now lol. Need to replay it again.

[@SlavKnightVlad]

Okami being my favorite game ever made this super emotional to me, I even shed a few tears when this happened

[@nathanzavala2861]

Shoutout to the two peoples who mentioned Okamiden

[@robikkupegasus7039]

Our queen of the sun has returned...and it's about damn time! All hail the origin of all that is good, and the mother of us all! Dog treats and headpats will be given upon her arrival! ♥♥♥♥

[@Castersvarog]

I didn’t see the initial reveal, but the freaking hype I had when I heard someone say they’re making a sequel was crazy. It’s a day 1 purchase for me

[@elgigante2001]

When i saw this i was blown away. Not only because we're getting a sequel, but because Clover is back as well. My hope is that we also get a new Viewtiful Joe game as well after this.

[@raricheta]

Watching everyone's reaction to the Okami sequel makes me soo happy knowing how beloved the game is. It's in my top favorite games of all time and I'm super excited (my gamertag has okami in it!). I think I'm gonna replay it again.

[@voidlockdragon1406]

All those Capcom polls throughout the years that had Ookami placed high up for their favorite Capcom game has finally caught Capcom's attention for this sequel.

[@A_chocolate_bar_review_channel]

I don't know how people didn't catch on that it was Okami sooner. Soon as I heard the sprinting sound and iconic instruments buzz up I was like "OKAMI!!!!"

[@jayli6658]

完全可以體會，這款遊戲真的是代表日本文化的神作

[@miy4554545454545]

My reaction to seeing this is as if a loved one had left saying that one day they could return, and that day has finally arrived. I was really moved and I'm glad I'm not alone.

[@neckzt603]

Being someone who’s never played the first can’t overstate how excited i am, watching a gaming legend cone back to life I know most gamers know what okami is based off appearances alone hell yea

[@ChronoSpectre]

So, so happy for the Okami fandom. They’ve deserved this for so long!

[@Vaisre]

I have never played Ōkami before, but even still, I was really hyped seeing it come back from the dead, stronger than ever. As a side note, since Hideki Kamiya is back with his revived studio Clover and working with Capcom again, does that mean we’ll FINALLY get a DMC1 REMAKE after the Ōkami Sequel!?!?!?

[@עומרשרייבר-ל4ר]

My face still hurts from how much I smilled when they reveld it. God its so beautiful.

[@dannysimion]

Glad HIdeki Kamiya is back and helming the Okami sequel! Now I am stoked for this classic game's sequel to come. Time to play the original and get the soundtrack back on again!

[@SoulZERO15]

This is the only game reveal to have ever made me cry, I was hype and in disbelief when onimusha was revealed, but okami was the one franchise that I never in a million years thought would ever happen, nor did I ever think hideki kamiya would ever return to capcom, I never even grew up with okami but I absolutely adore okami and ammy, seeing this makes me choke up so much, God is it good to be a capcom fan

[@clackman622]

This comp made me legit cry. Glad I sub!

[@Sylvieboy72]

Like Probably many people, i have never played Okami, yet like probably many people, i couldn't help but scream and cry the moment Ammy started running and hearing the beautiful "The Sun Rises" Theme Music playing! Welcome Back Okami!🔥🐕

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

The game is five dollars on Nintendo Eshop and Steam.

[@4.1132]

You know a game is beloved when the universal reaction is excited screeching and tears 😂❤

[@InchonDM]

"You cannot sit still and retain the name of CAPGOD."

[@flashtheshapeshafter]

One of my old friends jonic used to love this series to no end we drifted apart but I know wherever he is he's freaking out looking at this

[@abbiem5357]

It's actually insane that this game is getting a sequel, genuinely, so many things had to align for this. The original wasn't even a commercial success! Just goes to show the power and love of the community that kept this tiny hope alive for over 15 years.

[@ihopeyouandicanbefriends]

hiiii ragged. Im so glad you made this xd Im a huuuuge Okami fan
