Okami was highly praised form the critics, but It wasn't successful neither on PS2, nor on Wii. I don't think we need another version of the game.
I played the PS2 version, when it came out, and in my opinion It's an overrated game, maybe with motion control is better.


What you mean by success? Not every game has to sell CoD like numbers. Team ICO games still produce original games eventough they don't sell millions. Its a critically acclaimed game and ranked one of the highest of last gen.

 

Ôkami was one of the best PS2 games last gen, I hope they release a retail HD remaster of it. Will buy it again. 50 hours of awesomenes, and its not even an rpg.

Yeah, every game doesn't have to sell like COD  to be called a success, but Okami sold poor, you can't deny that. It was hyped by videogame's media, but it didn't do any good, at the end.

When it sold bad on PS2 everyone said that it was because of the PS3 launch. Then, it sold poor on Wii and there was no excuse.

Obviously Okami is a charming title, and even though I didn't like it, it doesn't mean it was a bad game,, but if we can argue about quality, we can't discuss about sales.

Hyped? Is every good hyped game that doesnt sell considered a flop? Killzone 2 was also hyped to death but didnt sell great numbers, yet its generally accepted as a great game, with a nice 92 on metacritic. I dont remember there being any hype at all for Ôkami. It became a cult hit like Demon's Souls, a small fanbase that was very fond of the game.
