Okami HD Revealed, To Support 1080p HD, PlayStation Move
OkamiNow this is a game that should really benefit from glorious high-definition.
You know you're going to want it. Thanks to Famitsu and several Japanese sources, we've learned that the artistically accomplished and critically acclaimed PS2 title, Okami, is being remade in high-def for the PS3.
The new version will be called "Okami Zekkie-ban," which translates to "Okami: Magnificent Edition," and it will boast 1080p HD, PlayStation Move support, and although it hasn't been confirmed, we're going to go out on a limb and say Trophies will be included as well. The Move is a nice touch because that can be used as a paintbrush in the game. It seems Okami HD will be ready to go on November 1 in the Land of the Rising Sun, and those who pick up a first-run copy will get a voucher code to download the digital version of "Okami: A Caricature of Beasts," a Japanese book adaptation of the game's plot.
As for North America and Europe, gamers in those territories can expect a digital version of Okami HD, which should retail for $19.99. Along with Shadow of the Colossus, we're talking about one of the prettiest games of the PS2 generation, so...yeah, this is sweet.

I will definitely get this when it comes out. I think I'll appreciate it more now than I would have then anyway.

And now that it's being HD enhanced & with 51 trophies too it's going to become even more majestic.

I'm definitely picking this game up Day 1! Take my money, Capcom. But only $20 of it. Not really interested in anything else you have to offer (unless you release a Viewtiful Joe HD Collection too).

Anyway, this is an automatic buy for me. And for $19.99, that's a bargain! I would pay $60 for this because it's easily among the best games I played on the PS2.

Running through the areas and making things bloom are gonna look so pretty. I can't wait to get to Ryoshima Coast and bask in the glory of it all while listening to the awesome in game music. Gaming news hasn't made me giddy with anticipation recently, but this announcement sure did!
I said this another post, but I was imagining a couple days ago how awesome it would be if this game got an HD facelift and what do you know! I willed it to happen. The gaming world owes me some thanks! No, not to the developers! To me, who single-handedly utilized all of my karma reserves to will it so.
