Okami HD Announced

Update: Capcom confirmed the game is coming to North America and Europe this fall for $19.99. It's available through PlayStation Network. This HD version includes PlayStation Move and trophy support.

Per Capcom:

Ōkami HD brings Amaterasu’s epic tale to the PS3 with fully integrated HD graphics and 16:9 aspect ratio. The trademark sumi-e ink art style lends itself perfectly to HD allowing players to experience more of the awe-inspiring world displayed in greater detail than ever before.

--------------------

Original story: Capcom is releasing a HD remaster of Okami for PlayStation later this year in Japan. Details were confirmed in the latest issue of Famitsu.

The game is called Okami Zekkie-ban, which roughly translates to Okami Magnificent Version. This version will have Move support, but It's unclear if this is based off the Wii release of Okami or the original PS2 game.

Capcom USA has not confirmed if Okami HD is coming to North America at this time.

  • Such an original game when it first came out on the PS2, glad to see an HD version coming to the PS3.

  • I am flipping *** right now, this is the greatest gaming news I've heard in a long time. I am so happy :))))))

  • Neat! I have the PS2 original, and have contemplated getting the Wii version...maybe I'll get this version instead.
  • Capcom HD remake, totally unexpected.

  • I can't wait for this!!!! When developers started making HD remakes this is the first title I wanted more than any other remake they could think of. This game is amazing and is the best example to support games being art. If you haven't checked this game out you should and no excuses. Okami is well over a fifty hour game where you enjoy ever minute of it.
  • Nice. I might have to think about this one as a better option than finding a hard copy at Gamestop.

  • Now I can die happy
  • Nice but I rather have it on disc rather than waste even more space on my crappy 60 gig hard drive.

  • btw this game was way better than the new zelda.
  • Bloody awesome! I was wrong!
  • Please let there be a PS Vita version!!!!

    Using the ink with multitouch features is win in my book not to mention how beautiful it would look on the PS Vita OLED screen.  

  • just for PS3? booo :(

  • Downloadable Title!!!! I was hoping for a case with magnificent box art :(

    Oh well, I'll still get this. Like the inclusion of Trophies, though :)

  • this news made my day. This game was already beautiful. Can't wait to see it in HD

  • Glad to hear America is getting it.

  • That update just made my day and I am only 30 minutes into it.

  • awww yeah.

  • Capcom is still trying to sell this one huh? Meh, its a great game, but I'm not beyond the abundance of HD re-release.
  • $20!? Nice! I thought it was going to be two games, though.

  • YES!!!!!!!
