Registered 16 years agoThat's okay, there's no rule that says you're required to enjoy games just because they're critically acclaimed.
I find Mario Galaxy to be totally uninteresting, nothing written in any review or posted on any forum is going to make it a better experience for me. -

For whatever reason I just can't get into okami I've tried and failed twice already. Maybe it's just not my type of game.
To life with those amazing visuals never gets old. -

Registered 16 years ago@FuzzyDucky PC version is a complete mess (buggy, technical issues and a 30fps cap), but at least you can turn off the camera motion blur there. Thank god for that, because when it's on, it looks exactly as you describe. General motion blur is also ugly.
When the game isn't moving, it looks absolutely gorgeous in 4k. But the moment things go into motion, the illusion is broken. -

Registered 16 years ago@FuzzyDucky It's certainly not the remaster that such a classic game deserved. Fingers crossed it gets proper post-release support and patches to fix some of these issues.
Over on PC, that 30fps cap was only announced a couple of days before release. Moreover, controller support is badly bugged. The game sometimes refuses to recognise controller button inputs on startup, until you quit and reload the game. Button prompts sometimes change from keyboard or controller prompts to motion-control prompts, which is utterly bizarre. -

Registered 7 years agoThe camera also has the blurry effect (motion blur) on Wii, the version I have, which was criticised a lot back in the day. I expected the current-gen version to be either 60 fps or at least silky smooth. Xbox One X and PS4 Pro have more than enough power for that to happen. It should be a real remaster, no new content is required but to still have a wonky version on these powerful consoles is sad. -
Wasn't there a thing in options to toggle the blur? Or something about LCD vision?
Btw, does it run on non-pro ps4's at 1080p 60fps? If it's still 30fps, then it's just the PS3 game. -

Registered 6 years agoThey've said changing it to 60fps breaks some of the logic in the the game. Don't expect ever seeing it in 60fps. It doesn't sell well enough to be worth doing a proper remake. -

Registered 16 years agoIt's a 30fps lock on all platforms. Game-logic reasons, apparently.
Some speculation that the Wii version may be the technical base for this. Would explain why motion control prompts sometimes pop up on the PC version. -

Irritatingly, for much of the PS2 generation (and, indeed, into the PS3 generation), locking game-logic to framerate was an all-too-common development shortcut, particularly for Japanese developers (most PC-centric developers have known better for decades now).
This is depressing, one of my favourite games ever and I should be receiving it for Christmas, I’ve been looking forward to getting stuck in to it Christmas week. Since it’s such an old game I was expecting a flawless 4K 60fps experience. Gutted.
When it's baked into game logic, it's generally very difficult to pull it out again, as any number of game mechanics plug it in. For a lightweight remaster like the Okami one, the sheer level of technical effort needed to unpick it is unfeasible.
Even relatively high-budget remasters like FFX/X-2 HD have been stuck with it. -

Registered 7 years agoOkay if it has to be 30 fps fair enough but even basic Xbox One and PS4 should get a smooth remaster without those technical issues and blurry and dizzy effects. I'm not asking for new textures, just make the game run smoothly and improve or remove that motion blur or whatever. I liked it on Wii but I got a few headaches too. -

Registered 4 years agoSo I played through the game last weekend (on PS4 Pro) and never really noticed anything wrong with motion blur?!
Maybe it's because I like Motion Blur in games or maybe I thought it's part of the artstyle of Okami? I played it on PS2 and PS3 and think this one here is the best looking of the three.
The whole cell shading graphics are wobbly and never stand completely still, even if you don't touch the camera/controls.
Maybe you guys remember it wrong?
For me personally, the overall soft look is part of Okami and this is what's making those beautiful graphics absolutely timeless. -

Registered 7 years agoI don't know about the current-gen version, I would love to try it, but I remember the blurriness of the Wii version. I agree about the artstyle being timeless, though. The Wii version was never very well received and I haven't played any other version. -

Registered 4 years agoI was in bed already but I had to stand up now and started the game 
I'm playing on a 4k tv and it's sharp. Even when running. There's a slight blur when panning the camera but it's not distractingly bad. And the overall blur is nothing like the Wii version (took a quick look at YT). Now, back to bed. -

Registered 9 years agoThe PS3 version has the blur, so does the PS2 version, I didn't buy it at the time because I found the demo difficult to play because it was difficult to make anything out. -

Registered 10 years agoIt was never going to be 60fps, it would have to have been remade from scratch for that to be possible.
I wait to see if I should get it on pc or PS4. -
IT looks very nice in 4k, at this point though i think the blur must be a (poor) design decision. It is still a vry very good game though .gif)
.
Hopefully this is perquisite for a proper Okami 2 -
@Armoured_Bear Probably a tough call. You can certainly clean up those motion blur uglies a bit on PC, but the controller bugs remain annoying. If the controller issues get patched, then PC probably becomes a no-brainer, but it's slightly tricky to recommend it in its current state.
