![]() Okami HD places players in control of the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu (also known as Ammy), who takes the form of a white wolf throughout the game. That being said, while I hold this title dear to my heart, I'm also taking on more critical eyes to see how this eleven-year-old title holds up and how additions impact the base game. So back in October when it was revealed that the previously PlayStation 3-exclusive Okami HD would finally see the light of day on current-generation consoles, I was excited.īefore I dive into this review, I want to disclose that I am a huge fan of the original Okami as well as its subsequent re-releases so much so that I've been hoping that this re-release on current-gen platforms will help spawn future installments. Not only that, but the Mega Man X series will also receive resolution upgrades to be playable on modern hardware. Of course, it isn't new for Capcom to bring back classic titles onto other consoles, even this year they re-released the Resident Evil Revelations series to current-gen platforms, as well as Mega Man 1-10 in the form of the Mega Man Legacy Collections. ".2006's action-adventure title Okami would be considered Clover Studio's legacy project." ![]() Which isn't to say that Okami didn't get another chance in the sun - in April 2008 a Nintendo Wii version of the game released, and in October 2012 the original Okami HD came to PlayStation 3. Games like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Bully, and Call of Duty 3 were busy creating their own impressions on the gaming world, whereas the original PS2 release sold less than 300,000 units. Unfortunately, Okami was an art-centric product that got lost in the mix of 2006's other blockbuster releases. Although God Hand would be its last game and Viewtiful Joe was the studio’s longest-running series before officially closing their doors, 2006's action-adventure title Okami would be considered Clover Studio's legacy project. Despite their influence on video game history, Capcom subsidiary Clover Studio was only around for less than three years following its formation.
