IGN: Why remake a game that didn't sell all that well in the first place? A comment we hear often from users is, ‘I heard Okami is a great game, but I’ve never had the chance to play it.’ That is one reason why we are releasing this HD remake. For example, the brush system and the fact that the main character was a wolf, might have made it hard for users to imagine themselves. Natsuki Shiozawa: The game had many elements that many have been unfamiliar to Western players. Why do you think it suffered from poor sales? IGN: Many of us believe it should have been much more of a commercial success in the West. We worked on preserving the original Okami experience while providing a new way for players to enjoy the game, and we’re very excited to share this new version with fans who have played the previous versions as well as new players who have never experienced Okami before. There aren’t a lot of titles which truly live up to that kind of praise. I am able to say to anyone and everyone, ‘This game is amazing. Natsuki Shiozawa: I feel extremely proud. IGN: As a creator, what are your feelings about working on this game? However, you’ll find that when playing with Move gives you a whole new experience, since it allows you to use the Celestial Brush through natural motions. Having played the PS2 version a lot, I am used to playing with the normal controller. Natsuki Shiozawa: Choose the control scheme that you feel most comfortable with. IGN: Do you see this game as being pitched at Move users or will it have appeal for people who prefer traditional controllers? In fact, other Capcom staff that just happened to be walking by all stopped in their tracks to marvel at the beauty of the game. However, when we finally saw the game running in full HD, all of us thought, ‘this is truly what Okami was meant to be,’ and were floored by the results. Natsuki Shiozawa: Actually, when we first started development, we weren’t sure how the game would look when converted to full HD, and all felt very anxious. IGN: How do you plan to ensure that the unique fluid style of the original PS2 version be retained in HD?

All these things put together is what allows the game to make such a lasting impression on players and fans. In addition to the distinct visual style, fans resonated with the characters as well as the story, which focuses on universal themes such as love, belief, and compassion. Also, the visual style matches the various game environments, which show the beauty of nature and all the color it has to offer. Various filters were applied to the graphics in order to create that feeling of a calligraphy brush painting on Japanese paper. Natsuki Shiozawa: The unique Japanese visual style of the game is something that separates it from other titles. Why do you think gamers love this look so much? IGN: The game's visuals are what people remember best about Okami. We caught up with Natsuki Shiozawa, producer of the game, to find out about its progress. Shown at Gamescom and at TGS, Capcom’s game puts you in the role of a wolf-god with an artistic ability to recreate its surroundings, using a paintbrush and calligraphic skills to swish through an ancient world. Released in 2006 for PlayStation 2, it’s coming back as a HD re-release for PS3, with Move support. In the Settings window, switch to Interface tab and disable ' Run Steam when my computer starts'.Okami is one of the most beautiful games ever realized. In order to do that simply start Steam, click on Steam menu, and choose Settings. In that case, please disable Steam from automatically starting when your computer is booting.

Closing Steam does not always resolves the issue. Quite often Steam controller support is interfering with the game. If you are not sure if a particular game will work with non-Xinput controller, please feel free to contact our support before buying the game. If your controller does not utilize Xinput standard, but instead uses older, DirectInput then it might simply not work with the game. For example used by Xbox 360, and Xbox One controllers. Most of modern games are utilizing Xinput standard. Some of our older games might indeed had controller support in the past, but might no longer be supported with modern systems. Please double-check if 'Controller Support' tag is present on the game's store page.
