Sorry Okamiden Followers, It Sounds Like The Okami Sequel Will Mainly Ignore The DS Comply with-Up

We had been greater than a little bit stunned when Hideki Kamiya and Capcom popped up at The Recreation Awards to announce an Okami sequel. Stunned, however excited. The title continues to be in early growth and we all know little or no about it, however in a latest interview with IGN, a few of its creatives started to elucidate what we will count on from the sequel and the way it’ll match with the sequence’ earlier entries.

All through the interview with Kamiya, Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, and Machine Head Works producer Kiyohiko Sakata, the trio check with the upcoming sequel as “a continuation of the story that we noticed within the unique sport”. However, as any Okami fan will be capable to inform you, we have already seen a follow-up (of kinds) within the 2011 DS follow-up, Okamiden.

If this new sequel is continuous the story of the unique sport, the place does the transportable entry issue into the equation? The brief reply, it appears, is that it does not.

After clarifying that it was Amaterasu we see within the sequel’s transient teaser trailer, IGN’s Rebekah Valentine requested whether or not the crew goes to “acknowledge” Okamiden within the upcoming title. Hirabayashi-san responded, noting that the sequence’ DS entry has each its followers and its detractors — for whom the follow-up maybe did not meet expectations — so the crew is trying to the following title as a continuation of the right “unique base Ōkami,” slightly than one to its extra divisive follow-up:

We all know that there are followers on the market that like the sport, in fact. And we additionally know the suggestions on the sport on the market, of how the story was taken and the way maybe elements of the story weren’t aligning with what individuals had been anticipating. With that, we even have the sequel now that, as we defined earlier than, is a continuation from the story of the unique base Ōkami. That is how we will phrase it.

Regardless of following a distinct protagonist for many of the sport, Okamiden was set straight after the primary title and stored a lot of its predecessor’s hallmarks (the visuals, the ‘celestial brush’, the… wolf). Calling it a correct “sequel” by no means actually rang true, nevertheless it’s fascinating to see that Capcom is seemingly sidestepping your complete storyline for the upcoming entry. Give the individuals what they need and all, eh?

Though we think about that we will have to attend a superb whereas till we get to see the upcoming Okami sequel, we’re already crossing our fingers that Change 2 is part of the launch plans. Mmm, mouse-controlled paint brush…
