Support NeoGAF

[Damn Silly]

I mean, I'll buy it again.

 

[Guymelef]

This is why they hired her?
I hope this won't become a tendency on Kotaku...

 

[LordKano]

Yup, she just decided to take credit.

To be fair, it's right that she was the first person to mention the game with a certain amount of details.

 

[Novocaine]

Sure I'll bite again. I never did finish it.

 

[Oemenia]

LOL I hope the rumour isn't true now!

 

[Kholdy]

Triple dip day1.

Damn right!

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

I think I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. I mean, this isn't some crazy or impossible deal like Activision remastering one of their Shrek titles. It's Capcom, they I'll port their entire library to current consoles before the gen is over.

 

[pislit]

Yawn, remasters of remasters, talk about milking it to the last drop.

Not everyone played all the games released the last 20 years.

 

[Atolm]

But the PS3 version was already 1080p with 4xMSAA.

Unless they up the framerate to 60 and/or release a PC version, I'm out.

 

[Unai]

Well I am buying it again for sure. Surprised at no PC release though

It's really not surprising that a PC version wasnt's spotted at retail chains.

 

[Pachael]

I could get along to the remaster and platform(s), but not sure about the timing since it'd probably be crowded. Maybe early next year?

 

[EvB]

I’d be up for this, only played a little bit of it on PS2 (demo?)

 

[PhilipDoesMatter]

Will gladly take it as a GwG/Ps Plus game.

 

[Playsage]

If this is true, I'm going to double dip for the first time ever

 

[SlipperyFishes]

The evidence we've seen shows that two different European retail chains have recently added Okami HD to their internal upcoming physical releases calendar.

This means nothing. Would be a nice surprise but it depends on whether those two Euro retailers share a common database or not. I mean, you can own two chains in two countries under one umbrella.

 

[kc44135]

I don't really see why anyone would doubt this, even if LKD hasn't always been accurate in the past. Capcom have straight up said that remastering games has been very profitable/successful for them, and that they will continue to do so. They've also been absolutely port happy this gen. Even if this isn't true, I'm sure we'll see Okami ported eventually, because that's just how Capcom rolls.

 

[J@hranimo]

No Switch version of a Capcom re-release? This is probably 100% legit then.

Yeah lmfao this is my stance as well.

Good 'ol Capcpom!

 

[FelipeMGM]

Capcom and re-releases - a love story

 

[The Giant]

Yup, she just decided to take credit.

Gameblog leaked it a month or two before LKD, when they referred to it as a yoshi/rabbids game.

But everyone ignores Gameblog.

 

[Guymelef]

BTW pretty weak journalism talking about "two different retailers" and the article comes with no source...

 

[Velcro Fly]

Capcom and re-releases - a love story

except Onimusha =(

 

[LordKano]

Gameblog leaked it a month or two before LKD, when they referred to it as a yoshi/rabbids game.

But everyone ignores Gameblog.

Everyone should ignore Gameblog.

 

[cws]

But the PS3 version was already 1080p with 4xMSAA.

Unless they up the framerate to 60 and/or release a PC version, I'm out.

Well you cant play the PS3 version on current-gen consoles. Thats the point of Capcom re-release strategy.

Everyone should ignore Gameblog.

That one was legit though...even i knew it this point. Just sounded too stupid to be fake.

 

[Shadio]

Okami gets a second remaster and Gotcha Force doesn't get any. Capcom, what are you doing?

 

[Ridley327]

except Onimusha =(

There might actually be licensing issues involved with the actor likenesses holding up a remaster for the original trilogy.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Gameblog leaked it a month or two before LKD, when they referred to it as a yoshi/rabbids game.

But everyone ignores Gameblog.

Gameblog didn't brag about getting it right on Twitter, maybe that was their downfall! Rabbids was honestly the worst kept secret. Everyone in the industry knew about it.

 

[AAMARMO]

She was right on quite a few things, i think now ill give her the benefit of the doubt

Okay, she got most of the hardware stuff right because of smaller studios and indies were leaking stuff from left and right center. However, her software rumors are always likely to be made up or false information.

Here are some examples:

[NippleViking]

Every leaker knew about that game, it wasn't a big secret. One of them had a pic of the game as his Twitter avatar and no one realized until the leak got public.

Yup, she just decided to take credit.

She wasn't first to oust it - I believe it was an obscure French outlet, in Q3 last year.

But she was definitely second, and was talking about it long before other leakers came out of the woodwork. Hell, the one with the profile pic (Liam Robertson) only began talking about it in April/May. Laura was touching on it December 2016/Jan 2017 - and even provided name before any others.

Her software rumours were flimsy, but on the whole she's still someone to listen to, even with a pinch of salt.

 

[kc44135]

Capcom and re-releases - a love story

Yup... unless you're a fan of their PS1 catalog. RE1-3 and Dino Crisis 1 and 2 aren't playable on any current console, and the old PC versions never even got re-released on Steam or anything. I'd play them 240p on my PS4, I don't care. I just want 'em re-released in some form.

 

[Lylo]

The PS3 release was kinda flawless, i can't see Capcom screwing this one up, but we never know...

 

[ianpm31]

yep.

I hope Onimusha is next.

That would be awesome. I've beaten the entire series and would buy the collection in a heartbeat

Not holding my breath for this (not mentioning PC is weird since Capcom ports usually dont skip it).

and then there was this...

 

[Maximo]

No Switch version of a Capcom re-release? This is probably 100% legit then.

Ice cold.

 

[EVO]

More remasters of remasters 😗

Yawn, remasters of remasters, talk about milking it to the last drop.

I take it you guys don't read classic books, watch old movies or listen to music from decades ago?

 

[Phoenixus]

Would love it if there was a discount for already having the PS3 version but I doubt that'll happen. :/

 

[Omnii-chan]

Put me down for a physical copy.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Seriously hope there is some truth to this but take it with a huge grain of salt.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Gameblog leaked it a month or two before LKD, when they referred to it as a yoshi/rabbids game.

But everyone ignores Gameblog.

Rightfully so.

 

[Atolm]

By the way, where are the remasters for Viewtful Joe, PN.03, Killer 7, Onimusha and God Hand Capcom. Even Maximo.

Just stop giving us Revelaitons that no one cares about. Wanna remaster everything in your library? Do it but bring everything.

Its crazy how much of the ridiculous Switch launch expectation on GAF came from these rumors. Mario at launch, that low price, Splatoon bundle etc. - really feels like she posted just everything she heard because no one could prove otherwise at that time....lol.

 

[Symphonia]

I'm taking Okami in any possible form but I'm not trusting Laura Kate Dale on software rumors.

NeoGAF is absolutely disgusting when it comes to how Laura is treated.

 

[LordKano]

NeoGAF is absolutely disgusting when it comes to how Laura is treated.

¯\_(&#12484_/¯
I think it's perfectly fair to not trust her considering how wrong she was on software rumors.

 

[HardRojo]

I take it you guys don't read classic books, watch old movies or listen to music from decades ago?

Maybe they think we're not getting a new game because they spent the budget on this remaster. Lol.

Definitely getting a physical version of this if it's real. Never got to play the original and was bummed about no physical release in this region.

 

[Mr. Phellps]

I mean, what else is Capcom doing these days? This sounds believable...

 

[FantasticMrSnake]

I would bet is on PC too.., RE 1 came out on pc.., so let's hope.

I would love this game in any portable anyway =(.., vita , switch or 3ds.

 

[Audioboxer]

Got my platinum and I'll do it again. Amazing game.

Need a physical release this time though.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

NeoGAF is absolutely disgusting when it comes to how Laura is treated.

credibility is earned not given.

 

[Oemenia]

NeoGAF is absolutely disgusting when it comes to how Laura is treated.

Getting shit wrong multiple times, being blacklisted by Nintendo, ruining someone else's career for attention and then getting a journalism job despite all that.

Nope I can't see why anyone wouldn't like her.
