Okami dev critical of current games market

PS2 News | Okami

Jan 16, 2008 Choosing a console to develop for in the current generation is a tough decision it seems, as ex-Clover boss and Okami producer Atsushi Inaba points out the issues with all three platforms. Inaba, who's now in the top seat at the newly-formed Seeds studio, highlights Nintendo's dominance of software sales with its first-party titles as the key problem with Wii and DS. "The Wii and the DS are selling very well, but in terms of software Nintendo is obviously the best-selling ... » Read More

2007's worst kept gaming secrets

PS2 News | Okami

18th Dec, 2007 There are some things that developers and publishers just don't want you to know. And given the unnaturally high number of game announcements, hardware revelations, industry shake-ups, and all round cool things going on this year, they've wanted you to not know a lot during 2007. Thankfully though, the internet exists, and thus nothing is sacred. That's the eternal irony of the games industry. It's a business which tries to shroud itself in secrecy, but whose patrons congregate ... » Read More

Capcom talks Okami 2 and Wii port

PS2 News | Okami

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 ... » Read More

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 ... » Read More

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.

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 ... » Read More

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 ... » Read More

Thursday 27 July 2006 The distinctive and beautiful Okami, Capcom's god-who's-a-dog watercolour PS2 platformer, won't be turning up over here until early next year. 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.

A better look at Okami

PS2 News | Okami

Sometimes it's beautiful, and sometimes it's ugly. Either way, Okami is unlike any game you've ever seen. Casting players as a Japanese sun-goddess-turned-wolf, its gameplay involves a mix of platform-hopping, traditional adventure-game quests and using a "celestial brush" to paint objects into the game world. It's hard to comprehend until you've gotten a good look at it, so click on the images tab above and feast your eyes on our new shots of the game. Showing friends, enemies and a lot of ... » Read More
