Based on the original Playstation 2 and Nintendo Wii releases, Capcom and Clover Studio have decided to release a HD edition of Okami through the Playstation Network for Playstation 3.
While the last trailer I shared for the game was a tad dull, focusing on a short dialogue scene, Capcom have released this new trailer to mark Tokyo Game Show 2012 which provides a look at English-localized dialogue and the overall gameplay.
Initially released to critical acclaim on the PlayStation 2 system, players take on the role of Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess, who inhabits the form of a wolf. After a tyrannical monster turns the world into a ruined wasteland, she must use her magical abilities to restore the land to its previous glory full of life and color.
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.
To create an even more immersive experience, players can take advantage of the PlayStation Move motion controller and naturally make brush strokes with the essential Celestial Brush to defeat enemies and solve puzzles. Ōkami HD will also support the DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller for those who wish to re-live the original experience.
The company also announced that the game will be released on the 30th October 2012.
