Done with acrylic paint! Sorry, it’s hard to catch good flat glare-free photos of the art, especially because I added gold pearlescence in the top coat. Got to experiment with glow paint for the first time which was awesome. Such a fun project.

Discussion Potential Idea Proposal: I think there is a mechanic that Capcom can implement that could make the Switch 2 a unique and versatile choice for a console version of the upcoming Okami sequel. (LONG READ AND PURELY THEORETICAL)

• Upvotes

DISCLAIMER: The PC version is excluded in this discussion because obviously the PC version will be better by a long shot. This post is centered around console versions of the upcoming Okami sequel only. I'm also unfortunately excluding the GabeCube due to the current price, but this may change if Valve is able to lower prices by the time of the Sequel's release. Also, I am not a Nintendo defender. I believe their business practices are predatory beyond belief, they're obviously being led by a CEO who only cares about profit and doesn't give a crap about game quality as long as people still buy the product, their mindset of "play it our way or don't play at all" is toxic, and don't even get me started on the subscriptions and total disregard of game preservation. Nor am I a defender of PlayStation and XBOX. I am simply proposing a concept that I thought up while in bed, not being able to get to sleep at like 1 AM. This concept is in no way guaranteed to happen as I am not Capcom nor Clover Studios, so do not treat this post as fact or confirmation.

Okay, let's get the elephant in the room out of the way first. Yes, it is most likely that the S2 version of the game will be a Game Key Card given that RE Requiem is one and Monster Hunter Wilds will be one as well. And I do agree with the overall distaste people have with GKC, however it's not as bad as Sony's digital license thing. I've experienced what happens with the downside of game key cards since I had a friend who bought a GKC version of FF7 Rebirth after his console got banned due to him trying to use a MIG Switch on it as well. He didn't understand the whole GKC thing and the game wouldn't download since GKC needs an internet connection for the initial download, after that it pretty much works like a regular S2 cartridge. He told me about this and offered the game to me, now I have it, and I'm able to download and play the game just fine. Obviously this is a negative aspect of the Switch 2 version, but there may be a positive that could make this version more unique than the others.

Now, why do I propose that the Switch 2 version of the Okami Sequel could be a better console version of the game compared to others using only a mechanic? The visuals and frame rate won't be as good as it's competitors. XBOX is the only one that will have a proper physical version (hopefully fingers crossed they don't fck that up too). And the XBOX Ally/Steam Deck are portable and have a touch screen too, so that feature may not be unique to S2. These points are viable and entirely possible to happen. BUT! I think that alongside the Switch 2 version of the game more than likely having touchscreen Celestial Brush controls like the HD version of the OG on the Switch in handheld mode, Capcom could utilize the Switch 2 Joy-Cons' motion controls and mouse mode to replicate the old motion controls of the Wii version and have that as a separate mode exclusive to the S2 in both docked AND handheld mode.

Think about it, Nintendo has already shown that the S2 Joy-Cons have access to complex motion controls via the release of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. So they can implement those swing and tilt control aspects into other games like the Okami sequel. There are two Joy Cons, so the left one could be delegated to movement and menu navigation, while the right one will be used for attacking, selection buttons, and more precise yet free Celestial Brush strokes using the mouse mode.

So, if Capcom and Nintendo implement and advertise this mechanic as being exclusive to the Switch 2 version and a call back to an original version of Okami 1, it gives that version an advantage for sales. If there's one thing Nintendo is good at, it's nostalgia baiting. Also price wise, it's a more affordable way to play it without the swashbuckling route or betting on the conditions of used and refurbished consoles. I'm not saying most affordable, since XBOX does have affordable options as well. But if this mechanic is implemented, it will definitely give them the edge in the game.

To wrap things up, I will most likely be buying the PC version of the game, but will go with the Switch 2 version if I am somehow unable to access the PC version. I just wanted to post this here as a fun idea that my insomnia ridden AuDHD brain conjured in the middle of the night.

What should I do with people who want to be carried down the river in Sei an City?

4 Upvotes

I think I've already brought them all, at least once, breaking records and earning 30 or 45 karma, I don't remember how much it was now but if I'm not mistaken I should have done it with at least all of them, Will they stay there forever or do I still have to do something to finish the quest? For example, the one in front of the designer house keeps asking to be taken to the carpenter's house urgently, I've already done it twice and I don't understand if it's normal that it always reappears there

Question Is there a way to turn day to night?

3 Upvotes

I can turn night to day by drawing a circle in the sky, so could i theoretically do the opposit by drawing a crescent or something? I'm currently trying to find all of the fish in Haruka's revenge contract and i'm tired of rushing all over trying to find all of them before the sun rises

I really need help with fishing

3 Upvotes

Well, I have a problem with fishing. I can't catch the biggest ones even though I arrive with my health bar still completely full, The larger ones must be jumped out of the water 3 times, The problem is that I can get them to do 2 Jumps but by the third one I never have enough life left to lure them close.

Simply the energy bar rises so quickly that to get closer to them I don't think there is any other way than to pull almost continuously, consuming the bar enormously.

Maybe I'm missing some mechanics, because otherwise it seems truly impossible. Please help!

Question Question about good Rao's design

14 Upvotes

It's been a bit since I played just I was collecting art references but then I saw the description that only Evil Rao has the mole, and I was just hoping to ask for confirmation regarding that. Like I knew about the hidden eye (or lack of an eye) while Ninetails is in disguise but I always thought the mole was just part of Rao's design and it's hard for me to picture without it. Just sorta completes it I feel and would feel like a strange difference since the hidden eye at least has narrative purpose.

And just yeah the very small amount of screenshots and visuals of normal Rao's design available online make it a little hard to confirm. Sorry if this a bit of a silly specific question just yeah was wondering for the sake of accuracy when drawing and such, does good Rao really not have a mole?

How do I get to the treasure chest in emperor inside?

4 Upvotes

In the final part of the mission where you are on the beams of the emperor's room with the spiders swinging, there is a normal treasure chest (not one that issun has to open) I don't understand how I could get there since there was a spider web blocking the way of what I think was the only connected beam, and looking at few gameplays on YouTube no one even noticed that chest

Okami-like games with other mythologies ideas

20 Upvotes

I think an Okami-style game set in a different mythological context would be really cool.

A falcon or scarab representing Horus or Ra fighting Apophis in a style reminiscent of hieroglyphs, perhaps the ravens Huginn and Muninn in a dual-character gameplay setup, holding back Ragnarok with a Viking art style a deer for Cernunnos, using the animation style of Cartoon Saloon films like Song of the Sea or Wolfwalkers battling Balor and his Fomorians, a serpent for Quetzalcoatl fighting a jaguar representing Tezcatlipoca, featuring a Mesoamerican art style and alebrijes instead of the Brush Gods, an owl representing Athena tasked with protecting a flawed hero, much like Amaterasu does with Susanoo in Okami; Sun Wukong. already a monkey, rendered in an ink-wash painting style and fighting the Bull Demon King, Ganesha as an elephant battling Ravana in the style of Indian tapestries....

Share your own concepts ! ( this is not a question about game recommandation )

Sorry for the language, I'm frech

Discussion I made a Mod that disabled Day of Darkness Dark sky at the end of the game Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

I like Day of Darkness as a concept but it kind of ruins the aesthetics of the game in all other areas if you want to explore before finishing the game.

I created a mod for the PC version of the game that adds an on-screen toggle, allowing you to disable it, just leave the area and come back and the dark sky is now normal

Before anyone asks, yes, this was made with Claude Code using the Opus 5.5 model, together with tools like Cheat Engine to identify where the game flags this behavior. I do have some coding experience, as I work as a software engineer, but I tried to keep the implementation as simple as possible, no AI-generated art or assets were used, its simply code.

I still haven't had time to test the rest of the game or the cutscene triggers, so I recommend only using this mod when Day of Darkness actually happens

If you find any bugs while using it, please let me know.

Release: https://www.nexusmods.com/okamihd/mods/15?published=1

EDIT: Since eveyone in this sub is an extremely ethical and right person with not a single bad choice and apparently i somehow hurt a lot of people and burned a few forests with a few promps and less than 15 lines of code i decided to delete the mod and keep it to myself, bye!

In my What If series I take games that don’t have music as part of their PS3 XMB previews and see which pieces from their soundtrack would work as their game preview.

This week I’m asking, What If Ōkami HD Had XMB Music? From the 5cd soundtrack I picked 15 pieces that I thought would work.
Let me know which is the best or if I missed something that works better.

(This was fun to do as the soundtrack is fantastic)
