Okami HD Announced for PSN. Adds PS3 Move Support

Capcom recently announced that their award winning PS2 & Wii game Okami will be re-born in Fall 2012 as a digital download on the PS3’s PlayStation Network for $19.99/€19.99. Already one of the most beautiful games ever created, the addition of HD graphics will make this new version of Okami even more stunning. Okami HD will also feature PlayStation Move integration as well as a full suite of PlayStation 3 system trophies! Awesome! 😀

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.

Okami 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 Paintbrush put in the players’ hands to defeat enemies and solve puzzles. Okami HD will also support the DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller for those who wish to re-live the original experience.

Watch the Okami HD reveal trailer.

I already own Okami on the Wii and I can tell you painting with motion controls is fantastic fun! Please check out this gem of a game! Then we might get Okami 2/3 some day. ^_^

Will you be painting some life and color on your HD TV with Okami HD?
