That's... weird. Can you be more specific on how it's handled? Is it just like menus are in English and dialog is in Japanese, or are there some instances of dialog in English and some in Japanese?

54%. Getting there. Is there a trophy list I can look at somewhere?
If you're using Chrome: ever noticed how some of the animated gifs AREN'T animating? And how you have a top half (or quarter, three quarters, whatever) not match the bottom one, like it's further ahead in the frozen animation? That's what you see in real time on games without V-Sync. Alternatively: just download a demo of some PC game (or a free one like Team Fortress 2) and keep the V-sync off, you should see what it is even on a crappy computer.
Some games are really good showpieces for this effect though, like Lollipop Chainsaw on PS3, Jak 2 (and 3?) on PS2, and probably a lot more I'm not remembering right now.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Honestly, all this post made me think about was "yeah, Chrome used to be good... why is it such a pile of horse shit now?"
Metal Gear Solid 3 on PS2 is the first game I ever noticed screen tearing in. I was mildly confused as to why it was happening.
Haha. Frustrating thing is I switch back to Firefox, only to get that to hang for several seconds.
Maybe it's from running NoScript, but why do these browsers keep getting worse?

I'm getting zero tearing in 1080i or 720p

Just started the US version that I downloaded yesterday, and it has no language options. I really hope the Asian version has a English option in it!
It's probably one of those things that conforms with your system's settings. Experiment quickly and see?

I just checked, and after changing the language on my console the game still had English text.

That's weird, Aeana at the top of the page is saying hers is running it at least semi-Japanese.
Now I'm really interested in seeing if DigitalFoundry will ever get their hands on this.
That sounds nice but I'm not paying $44 for it.

Sadly it does screen tear for me at 1080p. Oh well. Thankfully it does not in 720p. The paper filter effect is easier to see at 720p. I had troubles telling it was even in the game at 1080p when I first started playing.

Now the guys at Gamefaqs are saying that Ebay sellers are confirming that the Asian version is in Japanese. I am gonna be so upset if this is the only language option!

Do we have screenshots showing the different filters yet?
85% after five hours. This would take five minutes on the 360 or Steam. Christ

Hmmm... Maybe I'll just buy the psn version for now... I have a sneaking suspicion that even if one of the disc versions is in English, it's gonna be one of those ghetto discs where it basically just installs the downloadable game... A la Journey: CE
A dude I know also asked the Okami Twitter if the Japanese version has English and they confirmed once again that it does: https://twitter.com/OKAMI_CAP/status/263656234593419264
So screw it, I'm diving in.

I like how you are teased that you are playing a downloaded version. (download ver.) But you can't go out and buy the disc version. Anyway, loving it as I use to did back a few years ago.

Thanks! I just noticed this was also posted earlier. I should have looked a bit harder...
Excellent, I'm glad someone has tried it, I'll switch to 720p, thanks.

Will wait for more confirmation of English on the Asian copy, would prefer a disc based copy for this game!

Nothing like HD rereleases to rub in the fact that I buy games and don't play them, then buy them again just to have them in a form where I'm at least more likely to play them, but realistically still won't play them.
I'm not sure if having made a decent chunk of progress in Okami makes it better or worse. Better because I at least got some value out of the PS2 version. Worse because I lose 20-30 hours of progress (not that I think I could pick up where I left off at this point anyway, it's been like four years).
Six years? My life

You know, I think I appreciate HD more for the paintings than the in-game graphics. It's a style that scales well, though I'm sure it'll look much sharper than my memories would indicate of the PS2 version, but there's a lot of fine detail in those paintings that couldn't really be shown in 480i.
Does seem to ignore the minor concession they made for HDTVs though (LCD TV mode). I'll compare later.

I'm pretty sure I just got that one in the first real fight outside the tutorials.
Edit: Ah no, that's the lesser one. Carry on.

Haven't tried them myself but IGN said to stay away even though they might be servicable.
Huh, I see.

Been playing for a while and I only noticed screen tear in the beginning section of the game at 1080p. So it could be stable after that or I just don't notice it.
I've never had to download something > 6 Gb on PSN before. I now know what a terrible service PSN is. I lost the download twice, once at 60 something percent and once at 30 something percent. After some googling I've found that if you move the download to the background, it supports pause/resume.. wtf sony engineers, no wonder you're failing.
Protip: Go into background download for this ASAP.

I only played the opening section so far but they seem pretty good so far. Unlike the Wii version you only use the Move for painting so you don't have to waggle to attack.
I didn't know anyone didn't do that.
I know. I don't feel very smart but I have a fast internet connection so I don't normally do that.
If I feel dumb I can't imagine how Sony engineers feel...
