Ôkami komt naar je Wii!
De PlayStation 2 topper van Clover Studios komt binnenkort ook naar de Wii van Nintendo, aldus Capcom. Eén van de pareltjes van de laatste tijd is Ôkami. Het spel verscheen begin dit jaar exclusief op de PlayStation 2. Het spel kreeg wel de kritische waardering, maar deze werd niet echt omgezet in een gelijkwaardig verkoopresultaat. Het spel daalde snel in prijs en ten tijde van de release werd er al gesuggereerd dat dit spel perfect zou zijn voor Nintendo's console met de Wii Remote. Het hing al een tijd in de lucht dat dit zou gebeuren, maar vandaag heeft Capcom dit pas officieel bevestigd. In Ôkami bestuur je de wolf / zonnegodin Amaterasu, welke bezit heeft over een Celestial Brush waarmee je met inkt dingen tevoorschijn kon toveren danwel vijanden kon vernietigen. Ôkami zal begin volgend jaar uitkomen onder naam van Capcom aangezien Clover Studios onlangs in Capcom is opgegaan. Ditmaal zal Ready At Dawn de ontwikkeling op zich nemen. Tot die tijd een stukje art en drie wallpapers van deze topper die qua speelstijl veel op de bekende The Legend of Zelda serie lijkt, wat trouwens ook nooit is ontkend door producer Hideki Kamiya.
CAPCOM TO BRING THE AWARD-WINNING ÔKAMI TO THE WII A Stroke of Genius Brings the Incredible Action/Adventure Game To Life Using the Wii Remote SAN MATEO, Calif. — October 19, 2007 — It’s finally time to experience the magic of Ôkami™ as it was always meant to be played. Capcom’s award winning game -- hailed as “Game of the Year” for 2006 by multiple magazines and websites including Associated Press, PSM, Village Voice, IGN.com, Game Revolution and more -- is set for release on the Wii™ home video game system in Spring 2008. Featuring a re-imagined control scheme built around the intuitive Wii Remote™, Ôkami offers players an unparalleled level of control and an opportunity to rediscover a critically-acclaimed and beautifully crafted adventure. TMkami tells the story of a mythical sun god who sets out to restore a dismal world, decimating the forces of evil who stand in the way by commanding the elements and mythical abilities the deity possesses. Mixing Japanese folklore and a stunning traditional Japanese art style, players must utilize an inventive control scheme to overcome the challenges and evil that await. By enhancing the unique gameplay, visual style and story line of TMkami with the control of the Wii Remote, it is sure to be the ultimate version of the game. Originally designed for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and released in 2006, Ôkami now comes alive in an entirely new way on the Wii with its visually stunning art style and beautiful scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art. Throughout the vibrant and distinctive surroundings, players must use the Wii remote to interact with a dynamic world and cast of characters. The blend of stylized graphics, movements and unique gameplay will result in a rich and dynamic experience never seen before. Ôkami includes the following features: • Innovative gameplay and control scheme optimized for the Wii - Defeating monsters requires both motion-controlled physical attacks, but also use of the Wii Remote as Amaterasu’s ‘Celestial Brush’ to paint the desired powers for decimating enemies and solving puzzles. • Create and destroy at will - Play as a god to re-establish order and beauty to a world laid barren by evil. • Intense action-packed battles – Rooted in Japanese folklore, fight against a diverse line-up of demons and monsters. • Utilize various gameplay styles – In addition to the Celestial Brush, Amaterasu can wield three types of offensive weaponry, each with their own unique abilities and effects. Depending on how a weapon is equipped, it can be used as the main or sub weapon: o Reflectors – These well-balanced weapons are suited for close range combat o Rosaries– Sacred magatama beads are great for quick long range attacks o Glaives – These can be charged up to unleash powerful close range attacks • Intriguing main character – Assume the role of the sun god, Amaterasu, who descends upon the earth in the form of a wolf. The Japanese translation of the word wolf is “TMkami”. • Original visuals and revolutionary design– Vibrant and inspiring graphics, reminiscent of traditional Japanese art created on paper scrolls, produce a large variety of stages with a watercolor-esque appearance. • Interact with a unique and dynamic cast of characters.
