Okami is one of PS2's best adventure games in our opinion and if designer Hideki Kamiya has anything to do with it, there'll be more epic wolf soon. Kamiya has a sequel in mind, and has revealed that it's something he'd really like to do. But unfortunately for Okami nuts, it's not his decision to make, so his hands are ultimately tied for the time being according to Kotaku. Meanwhile, Capcom's Kenji Infane is considering porting the PS2 title to Wii - something which had been rumored and ...

The ugly truth about state of UK gaming

PS2 News | Okami

Tuesday 27 February 2007 This week's UK entertainment software chart (all formats, all prices) makes us sad. It makes us sad because no matter how hard we look at it we can't see Okami anywhere. One of the most utterly original and delightfully entertaining games to ever bound its way to PS2 has vanished just two weeks after its debut at number 12, before sliding to 30 and, now, it's plummeted with a forlorn howl into the abyss... Little Britain: The Videogame, on the other hand, is still ...

PS2 - Okami - Clover vets reunite, form Seeds

Hideki Kamiya, Atsushi Inaba, and Shinji Mikami resurface with new game development studio.

Shortly after Capcom announced the dismantling of Okami developer Clover last year, it was revealed that two of the studio's big names--Viewtiful Joe producer Atsushi Inaba and Devil May Cry director Hideki Kamiya--had already left the company in search of "fresh challenges."

They appear to have found one, as the pair are listed on the Japanese language site for upstart developer Seeds, along with fellow Clover veteran and Resident Evil creator, Shinji Mikami. While Kamiya and Inaba had left Capcom entirely, Mikami last year was still working for Capcom as a contracted producer.

GamesRadar's potentially annual Platinum Chalice...

PS2 News | Okami

It's the end of another great year for gamers. Two new systems launched. Two handhelds waged bloody battle. And next gen gaming got a big kick in the pants - thanks to a year of lonely rule by the Xbox 360. PC gaming fought fire with nukes, waging its battle against the console-based onslaught. In short, it ruled. How do we handle this? We're handing out our gleaming Platinum Chalice to those games and systems which gave us the business. No boring list of 37 different strategy games, divided ...

Let the sun shine in

PS2 News | Okami

The distinctive and beautiful Okami, Capcom's god-who's-a-dog watercolor PS2 platformer, won't be turning up over here until September. But, like a news-hunting canine with a nose for updates, we've dug up a new gameplay video to remind you why Okami will be so special. It's all in Japanese, so we're still unsure as to the finer points of Okami's plot, but here's the lowdown: the canine heroine is the physical embodiment of the goddess Amaterasu, who has beamed down to Earth to save the world ...

It's all in Japanese, so we're still none the wiser as to the finer points of Okami's plot, but here's the lowdown: Okami is the physical embodiment of goddess Amaterasu, who has beamed down to ...
