Really feels like everyone has Mandela effected Okamiden out of existence. We already HAVE an Okami sequel! This will be the third one!

Okamiden kinda has a Sticker Star Story thing going for it, but in its case that's midly earned. Not because it's bad, but because Clover didn't make it--and Kamiya wasn't involved with it. I love Chibiterasu and I resent folks dismissing the game offhand for being on the DS, but I get why it might get some skewed glances. Even the producer called it more of a spin-off, instead of a sequel. |

Does that include Tales of Destiny 2, a direct sequel to Tales of Destiny? That one missed the Western audience completely, instead we got Tales of Eternia, which Namco 'conveniently' renamed Tales of Destiny II here in the West... |

This was a pretty good week for me. I have a lot of Tales of games that I would love to play, so these remasters are coming at the right time, and now I have an excuse to finally play Okami.

I don't remember This Week In Games ever mentioning the ONE. visual novel at any point. Was there a column that did and I just missed it? |

Probably doesn’t help that it’s a Gaiden game hence the the partial pun in the title. |

Part of me wanted Elden Ring 1.5 to win just because it would've been really, really funny. Probably for the best that it didn't.

That's why I'm hoping we get some nod to them, I wouldn't be surprised if the plot diverges completely and contradicts Okamiden, but acknowledging that those characters exist in some form would make me really happy, even just a little cameo to see them in full HD glory. |

It's always hilarious when people take Keighley's latest trailer fest so seriously. Apparently Game Science, the Wukong studio, made a giant deal of losing claiming they wrote their GOTY acceptance speech two years ago and then questioned how awards are picked. Dude, you're complaining about the gaming equivalent of the VMAs. Save that kind of drama for the DICE Awards, which are managed by people who don't have complete disdain for designers and artists. Keighley's had ten years to get this into a proper awards show and he can't do it. He's done, it is just a hype event until the end of time. Good day, sir.
-Okami: Neat, but I'm hesitant to get too excited because Kamiya has two glaring issues: 1) he has a gigantic ego and 2) he refuses to stop making the same designer mistakes like the tedious minigames despite years of complaints because of said ego. Though ironically a game like Okami is better-suited for that kind of variety pack design due to it being about being a big epic adventure. Doesn't work so well for games like Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101. Still, something to keep track of. Hoping to see what Chibi and Issun have been up to. -Onimusha: New Onimusha, neat; now which dramatic actor is the character gonna be based off? Maybe Ryuunosuke Kamiki, Takeru Satoh, possibly an appearance from Hiroyuki Sanada? I also know way too much about Japan when I recognized Kiyomizu-dera, confirming the game is set in Kyoto. And yes, I'd rather we just have an action game as Nioh already has the Samurai Souls-like niche covered. As for other CAPCOM properties, I'd say Darkstalkers is the obvious revival choice. Put some new monsters in it like a version of Hasshaku-sama, a banshee, and an obvious Toxic Avenger homage. -Ninja Gaiden: About damn time, interesting that they're going with an apprentic instead of Ryu. Says something about him when all this is going on and thinks "Eh, you can handle this, I take care if the BIG stuff." Hopefully we get another hack and slash at all times, and with a camera that isn't half drunk. Anyway, now to watch people go "are you KIDDING me???" when they play Akira in Virtua Fighter only to realize his difficulty curve is so steep it has an overhang. |
