What We Know About the Okami Sequel

[@thgritic102]

Japanese mythology is HUGE w/ an abundant of stories for existing characters. Even Ammy have some of her own where there's a Dawn goddess she's friendly w/, & she also has a husband too. Would be neat to bring them out, but if not, it would be cool to explore the genre some more 😊

Hideki Kamiya bringing Clover studios back from the dead was the greatest resurrection since Jesus

[@retroman3960]

Remimds me of how LucasArts went out of business and then got resurrected under a new name.

[@Kruspe12]

There is so much they can pull from Japanese mythology, I don't think there is a shortage of material for a sequel. I am so excited. Everytime I see the announcement trailer I cry 🥹

[@Autumnityyyy]

I'm so glad my girlfriend introduced Okami to me a year ago, in that short year Okami very quickly became the BEST game I've ever played. And in terms of what I would like to see from the sequel, I'm hoping to potentially see a return of Ninetails?

[@luckymapache]

The only game ever made me, a 46-old cried 😭 It was Issun's speech before the final battle by the way. Awesome game. Thought the sequel would never come to reality.

[@KabegamiTheGreat]

To celebrate i bought okami on all available platforms that i owned, except ps3 cuz thats digital only

[@AeonCalcos95]

I definitely think the sequel will take a lot time in the Celestial plain. Maybe we’ll meet other fellow Shinto gods that Capcom will take the form of animals to keep the theme of “if your a deity, you look like an animal” shtick. Cause I’m really interested to see learn more about Waka’s backstory and his history with Amaterasu cause it feels like they set him up to be a new companion in place of Issun. Maybe we’ll need to bring someone back from the land of the dead cause if you’re into Japanese folklore, Amaterasu’s mother Izanami is like a ruler of the underworld so we can get some family drama there. Perhaps they could introduce like new brush gods or a counter pantheon of like dark brush gods to counter Ammy’s arsenal. Oh yeah I hope we get to hang out with the brush gods and maybe get some character development. Maybe learn some fighting styles that switch up the combat gameplay? I’m just throwing ideas out there, but I’ll be excited whatever Kamiya and Clovers comes up with.

We cannot forget Okami's most enigmatic character: Kaguya. It was always clear to me that she was a character created to be the link between Nippon and the celestial plains. Her whole story is made to make us think that there is more than the world we are contemplating, and she herself is the first to set out on this adventure of (re)discovery. She will definitely come back in some form.

Okami sequel has a serious chance to be the most breathtakingly visually gorgeous game of all time. And also has a chance to sincerely be one of the psychologically enthralling games of all time. Geeked AF. Okami HD is ALREADY the single greatest 3d Zelda style game, including all the Zelda titles. Only Wind Waker HD & Link Between Worlds come close, IMHO. I sincerely hope CAPCOM also does a remastered Switch2 Okami HD physical cartridge, which fully takes advantage of Switch2’s DLSS3.1+ upscaling technology, to display the best possible 4k/60FPS visuals when docked. And of course, it comes with all the extras/artwork-galleries/history/etc. & speaking of CAPCOM & Zelda/Nintendo…. … I’d love to hear about some beautifully hand-drawn remakes, of top down Zelda titles: 1. an OG 1986 Zelda remake (made by Nintendo R&D4, which had some future Capcom employees on the team IIRC) 2. Oracle of Ages or Oracle of Seasons remakes (made by Flagship-Capcom) 3. Minish Cap remake (made by Flagship-Capcom) So excited for 2025-2026, seems like a gaming-golden-age / renaissance may be upon us. 🌹🐺🍁🐺🌹

They are about to cook a masterpiece and i will faint the day it releases ❤

[@pockystyx4087]

Side news; from what we've been hearing on twitter from sources: RIP Platinum. Kamiya coming back and starting up Clover*S* (lol) is some wild stuff though; he's got to feel like CAPCOM has changed enough for him.

[@yeetkunedo]

More likely explanation is that Capcom leadership realized that fans really wanted this game, the HD remaster sold really well once it hit multiple platforms, and that there’s no way they could make a sequel worthy of everyone’s time and energy without having the father of the franchise directly involved.

[@retroman3960]

Those people leaving Platinum is only a rumor, though, so we'll wait and hear if it's true or not.

[@yeetkunedo]

@ I’m pretty sure Platinum is being disbanded and its assets are being folded into Clovers. I get the feeling that Capcom is ready to put weight behind being Capcom.

[@retroman3960]

My sister LOVED The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess (so did I) and I think she'd love Okami as well.

[@DestinySpider]

I remember ages ago I asked Kamiya on Twitter whether he'd consider Okami canon if he ever got to make a sequel, and he responded that he "wouldn't ignore it"... before blocking me as he is known to do lmao. At the end of Okamiden Chibi and Issun make their way to the Celestial Plain on a moon tribe UFO so.. I guess we'll see if that actually happens. Last year I drew a little thing with a more skimpily dressed Waka and an Issun with a beard lmao. I think having them aged up a bit could be pretty cool

[@tobibilbao]

you should play through it all again and make a video series of it. would watch

[@TheAzNheadbanger]

Shinji Mikami is free so I’m also holding out hope for God Hand 2.

[@projectbmc5509]

This game has dog 🙌

[@luckymapache]

I played it on PS2 and didn't buy any remastered or HD version. If they remake it with Unreal Engine, I'm definitely buying it. 😊

[@tempestnova6715]

Good on you, cause unfortunately ever since the Wii port in every single international release the ending credits vocal song "Reset" got replaced with generic instrumental slop. That means that the only instance of that song existing is the "thank you" version when Issun comes in clutch with handing out his Ammy flyers. If anybody else reads this and you want the HD version, either buy PS4 copy from Japan (the game language will be set to your console language but with the original music) or mod the PC version on steam. That piece of music hits so hard after the journey is over, and without it, it's less than a shell of it's former self. P.S. If they did come out with an actual remake and not just a remaster, I also would totally buy it.

[@yeetkunedo]

@@tempestnova6715 > good on you No. Sales numbers are the sole metric that companies use to determine viability. If you don’t support the HD remaster, you don’t get a sequel. The reason why you’re getting a sequel at all is directly because of everybody that didn’t take your advice.

[@thetruestar6348]

Unreal no RE engine

[@tempestnova6715]

@@yeetkunedo That first three words weren't advice. And the later advice was for new people that haven't played Okami at all. At this point further Okami HD sales in the west is a moot point since we're already confirmed for a sequel, so why not tell them how to get the superior version. And half of that advice is still more western sales on steam for those willing to mod. Don't go twisting what I said, it's very disingenuous of you.
