The high-definition port was also released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in December 2017 worldwide and with a Nintendo Switch release planned July 2018. A high-definition port of the game, remastered by Capcom and HexaDrive, was released on the PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network in October 2012 and for retail in Japan in November 2012, supporting the use of the PlayStation Move motion controller. The Wii version has earned similar praise, though the motion control scheme has received mixed reviews. Although it suffered from poor sales, the game received critical acclaim, earning the title of IGN's 2006 Game of the Year. Ōkami was one of the last PlayStation 2 games selected for release prior to the release of the PlayStation 3. The gameplay itself is modeled off The Legend of Zelda, one of director Hideki Kamiya's favorite titles. Clover Studio switched to this cel-shaded style to reduce the processing required, which directly created the concept of the Celestial Brush gameplay mechanic. The game was initially planned to use more traditional realistic rendering, but this had put a strain on the graphics processing of the PlayStation 2. It features a distinct sumi-e-inspired cel-shaded visual style and the Celestial Brush, a gesture-system to perform miracles. Set sometime in classical Japanese history, the game combines several Japanese myths, legends and folklore to tell the story of how the land was saved from darkness by the Shinto sun goddess, named Amaterasu, who took the form of a white wolf. Despite the closure of Clover Studio a few months after the game's initial release, a version for Nintendo's Wii console was developed and produced by Ready at Dawn, Tose and Capcom, which was released in North America in April 2008, in Europe in June 2008, and in Japan in October 2009. It was released for Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation 2 video game console in 2006 in Japan and North America, and in 2007 in Europe and Australia. Utilising the power of a celestial paintbrush, Amaterasu dispatches enemies in a swathe of paint, bringing back colour to the land of Nippon.Ōkami ( Japanese: 大神, literally "great god", "great spirit" or "wolf" if written as 狼) is an action-adventure video game developed by Clover Studio and published by Capcom. ![]() In Okami HD, players take on the role of mythical Japanese Sun goddess, Amaterasu, as she sets off on an adventure to cast aside the curse of the eight-headed demon Orochi. Okami was later ported to the Nintendo Wii in 2008, before receiving a visual enhancement with an HD release on PS3 in 2012. The Hideki Kamiya designed title received high praise on its original PS2 release in 2006. The loading screen mini-games that used to be feature on the PS2 original (before being removed from the Wii and PS3 ports) will finally make a return, with players able to earn bonus demon fangs that they can trade for in-game items. Players can also change the aspect ratio to 4:3, just like the original PS2 game. This upgraded version of Okami HD will receive a 4K resolution boost on the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, resulting in even more splendid visuals and bursts of colour. Unlike Japan, which will only have a physical release for the PlayStation 4 and digital versions for the Xbox One and PC, Okami HD will be receiving physical and digital releases in the West.
