What do you guys consider slow for psn? Mine is going at about 2 mb/sec. Is that slow?

No, that isn't slow. That is my usual speed.

This particular download is going much slower than that, however. Like about 500kb/s

edit: annnnd the speed just picked up into "WHOA THAT'S FAST" territory. Like 3 mb/s wow

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Actually, I wonder if the Asian version of the game is like the RE4 and CVX compilation where it's basically just the downloadable version, on a disc.

Why are game review sites all so useless?

I've been going through a bunch of review for this game, and they all babble on and on about the story, the characters, music, etc (things that haven't changed at all since the game was first reviewed on PS2 seven years ago). I skip over all that looking for an evaluation of what's actually changed in this version: the technical details.

Is it really 1080p?
What kind of AA, and how much?
AF?
Pop-in? (actually, IGN mentioned this was bad)
Tearing?
Examples of the different paper filter settings?
Effects missing from Wii version restored?

Can't find answers in any of these childishly-written reviews.

I'm with you; but again, all I really want to know is if they added an option to disable the wonky voice FX without disabling all sound FX. :|

there are two options to 1) disable background music 2) special effects with voice. I never played Okami, hope this helps.
yeah, third option for voice only is missing.

You'd think with a somewhat sustained argument over the years between "like them/hate them" that it's something they'd have considered for this remaster. But I guess not. I liked the original game, with my main complaints being the length (a little too long) and the voices. Oh well, I guess it's a no-buy for me then.

Thanks again!

Ideally you would be able to mute them, yes.

However, being able to skip the text will help that a lot, and it is hardly a big enough reason to pass on such a great game.

Was just thinking the same thing. I own and LOVE the game on PS2, so what's really key for me is finding out how the HD port holds up technically. Bizarre I can't find out details.

Just decided to buy this to fill up my $100 on psn. I realized I've never played okami before and know nothing about it other than a lot of people like it. Ha, guess it was worth missing on ps2 to be able to play this version.

Yeah, I've known that for awhile. I'm interested in an analysis of how it actually looks and how it compares to the PS2 version. Does it look good? Are there any gotchas? Is there a setting that looks exactly like the PS2 version?

Just as a reminder to Okami newbies: When it comes to the constellations you just need to dot the missing stars not draw the whole thing out.

I thought this was supposed to have skippable text?
I can't figure out how to skip any text, and it's just as slow as it ever was.

I caved :(

And by god, this download speed IS atrocious. This is not normal either, these downloads are usually faster, even on PSN

Once I got control of Amaterasu (after AGES), and walked around examining stuff and Issun started talking, I was able to skip that text. But story text seems to be a no-skip thing so far.

I have to say, I'm already feeling way better about it now that it's letting me skip Issun's text.

EDIT: However, once I got up to the first constellation, his text commenting on that wasn't skippable. How irritating.

On this day you are remembered, Clover.

This game is fantastic. If you're on the fence, jump off it and enjoy a truly wonderful experience.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Oh so the game is partially skippable?

I'll check it out if the Asian version is in English.

Ok for veterans: is the problem of non-skippable text the slowness of it or or the annoying accompaning voices?

The combat was unplayably bad in the Wii version. It made the game a *lot* less fun, even though it's not primarily a game about combat.

Fools are always so certain of themselves, but wiser men so full of doubts.
Nonskippable text is a slight boner kill.

But god damn does this game look AMAZING in HD. Seriously beautiful. Capcom and HexaDrive did sooooo well on this.

What is meant with unskippable? Unable to make the dialogue fastforward to the end of a box, or unable to press a button to skip a scene? I haven't tested the latter, but the former works just fine past the prologue stuff.

Doesn't seem to be 60 FPS or anything to me, but I guess any dips the original had got stomped out.
