The much loved and highly acclaimed BAFTA award-winning visual masterpiece Okami HD will be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One both physically and digitally and as a digital download for Windows PC across North America on December 12, 2017 for MSRP $19.99. Experience a tidal wave of colorful action by downloading the new trailer and assets from the press site here.

The original game, released to critical and consumer acclaim in 2006, was hailed as one of the most beautiful games ever created, and this latest release with its renowned Sumi-e ink art style is now even more breath-taking as the graphics have been updated to take advantage of modern high resolutions. Okami HD will be compatible with Xbox One X and PS4 Pro while featuring stunning 4K graphics on Xbox One X, PS4 Pro and supported PC hardware.

In Okami HD players take on the role of Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess who inhabits the form of a legendary white wolf Shiranui on a quest to defeat Orochi, an eight-headed demon and tyrannical monster responsible for turning the world into a ruined wasteland. Players must use Amaterasu's magical abilities and arsenal of items, attacks and Celestial Brush techniques to restore the land of Nippon to its previous glory full of life and color. Along the way, Amaterasu will be called upon to help a cast of quirky and intriguing characters and defeat a bevy of brutal enemies to rid the land of Orochi's curse.

Players will be able to choose between playing in a modern widescreen format or the original 2007 release's 4:3 ratio. Interactive loading game screens from the original game are also included, allowing players to earn bonus demon fangs which can be traded for in-game items.

[Ahasverus]

$20? Aaaand bought.

 

[RPGamer92]

Nice at just $20. Good work Capcpom.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Hey Capcpcom.

Okami launched in 2006.

 

[KZXcellent]

Boxart

 

[wanders]

You don't say

 

[LegendofLex]

This year is the year I will have more ports on my PS4 than original games.

 

[Yohane]

PC? real nice

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

I like that boxart. In for physical at $20!

 

[Jawbreaker]

OK, that's a day one purchase at $20. Bought.

 

[Cake Boss]

So the orginal X1/PS4 won't have the 4K functionality?

Also, any HDR?

 

[Damn Silly]

Yup, will definitely be jumping in again at that price. Lovely box art too.

 

[Okami Haundo]

Dat boxart! Might honestly buy three copies. (Digital, PS4 physical, XBO physical)

 

[black070]

Another well priced port by Capcom, sign me up.

They mention resolution but what about 60fps? If it's still locked to 30fps im out, don't care much about resolution

 

[Zeyphersan]

MY BIRTHDAY YAY

 

[DJwest]

I like that boxart. In for physical at $20!

All my friends and I are buying it digital.

 

[GhostTrick]

20 dollars means instabuy.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I already finished the HD version on PS3 so i'm not gonna buy it again but i can not wait for Okami 2.

We know it's going to happen.

 

[sinonobu]

20 physical!? Bought

 

[spindashing]

Twenty bucks? Yooo bought

 

[Neoxon]

Oooo, a physical release, nice.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Thats a great release for current-gen systems so that new players can pick it up. Could have been even better but still great.

Do we know who is working on the port?

 

[Smellycat]

I need this now

 

[hughesta]

oh I'm in. Somehow never played Okami before.

 

[GhostTrick]

Maybe QLOC.

Slow clap 😂

I'd love 60+ FPS but I'd still buy at 30*. It's always nice to have stuff on PC for the forwards compatibility.



*Capcom typically does a good job with their PC ports so if there aren't any framerate improvements, I assume it's for a good technical reason.

 

[dumbnumb]

Hooray!

 

[Brandon F]

Move support?

 

[HabeeNo]

Day 1

 

[yukimeans_snow]

Boxart

how long until someone makes an IGN version

 

[Kenzodielocke]

30fps sucks.

 

[silva1991]

Man, I can't wait to dive into that world again.

Up there with SoTC when it comes to great music.

Boxart

I was hoping for a better boxart

 

[Gestault]

I want a fast-forward mode like the recent re-release of Final Fantasy XII. This is a cool game that wastes the player's fucking time like it's air.

I also demand an IGN logo on the cover and title screen.

 

[Roldan]

That boxart makes it hard to go digital on this one.

 

[wwm0nkey]

I'm in

 

[oldmario]

i wonder if this will fix what was wrong with the western PS3 version, iirc the credits are entirely different if you have your console set to anything but japanese

So the orginal X1/PS4 won't have the 4K functionality?

Also, any HDR?

they only output at 1080p max so i figure that 4K support won't be coming to them

 

[Lonely1]

30fps sucks.

Has this been confirmed?

 

[The Omega Man]

I love this game, I 100%'d it on PS2 back i the day, will buy on PC

 

[Mass Effect]

wellthereitis.gif

and only $20? Day one. Gonna get on PC so I can use the Wii remote.

Do we know if the PS4 version supports PS Move?

Hey Capcpcom.

Okami launched in 2006.

lol

 

[LordKano]

Welp, 20€ on Steam, gonna day one that.

 

[Zaventem]

Cool for those who want it i guess, i don't see a point in double dipping since i own the ps3 disc version.

 

[Gbraga]

I'd love 60+ FPS but I'd still buy at 30. It's always nice to have stuff on PC for the forwards compatibility.

Yep, completely agree.

 

[Kaako]

Aaaand as good as bought. The price is right!

 

[jbug617]

Day 1 purchase

 

[Pandora012]

It's collectors is in Japan right? I might double dip and get both. Then again, I still have my ps2 copy....

 

[Toadthemushroom]

$20 is a surprise. While Okami is worth more than that I suspect it at least reflects the effort put into the port, where most the legwork was already done for PS3.

Also worth noting that, for PS3, Hexadrive put the game's textures went through an algorithm/upscaler to make them faux-HD, similar to the Bioshock collection. Because of the game's stylised look it doesn't fare too badly, but it'd have been nice to have had hand-drawn upgrades.

 

[Jawmuncher]

At least Okami fans can eat

$20 is in-line with the last gen HD port and every other HD port they had done outside Dragons Dogma. Had this been more than $20 it'd be a death sentence for the game.
Especially with the changes being small in scope.
