oh shit! Okami and Yakuza (sameday release!)
 

2 of the most aniticipated games, released simultaneously!! what are the odds of this? Capcom and Sega have formed some sort of alliance against my wallet..:shock:

Yakuza finalized!

Okami!!



:boom: 9/5/06

That Okami game sounds really strange but interesting, are there any trailers available? By the sound of it we're probably not gonna get this, despite the capcom worldwide releasing announcement(if I remember correctly).

It's already been translated into english, and is due out on September 5th. Capcom wouldn't have translated the game if they had no intentions of releasing it.

As for the trailer..find it yourself, I'm officialy finished from contributing any kind of news to this forum.

I've seen some trailers don't know what to really think of it, like the graphic style though. I was talking bout the european release though, capcom has a tendency to screw around a bit with the europeans.
Here you can find all sort of trailers(for those interested) Clicky
When I see games like this I think it's a pity that we don't have any blockbuster or other decent places around here that let you rent games, cause by the looks of it I really don't if I would like it.

Okami recieved a Gold Award, and Game of the Month honors in the newest issue EGM. beating out the highly anticipated 360 title Dead Rising amongst others.

ok now..that's all.

Okami got pushed back till the 19th. :shame:

yea i would've updated, but haven't posted in awhile. I was hyped for Yakuza but it's looking more and more like somehing was lost in the translation probably all the generic sounding f-bombs, Okami now that game is looking great!

I know, I was so bummed too. :(

Ugh, tell me about it. When I read reviews on Yakuza and they said something about the laughable overuse of profanity, I just got frigging annoyed. Yeah because, apparently, US gamers can't accept a game about gangs unless they hear f*ck and sh*t every few seconds. :sarcasm:

:laugh:

I can tolerate lots of profanity, but as long as it sounds authentic and not forced or overdone for the sake of usng it to set the mood. That's just seems so cheesy to me, and cheese has no place in Yakuza...except for the hostess mini-game.

Me too, but I have the feeling the overuse of profanity will be for the sake of the mood. I don't really know, but I don't think the original version even used that much. O_o;;; Just have to wait and see I guess.

Hehe, those hostess stuff is funny...I highly doubt I'll spend my time in those bars wasting my hard-earned money on some fugly chick though. :laugh:

Gamespot gave it a 7.4, they were kinda dissapointed with it. Has anybody played a demo??

Yeah, Akuza sorry I should have stated that since this thread is about two different games.

That's what I'm reading everywhere, seems a bit dissapointing cause the whole setting and things seemed so promising.

:laugh: yea, and it's so expensive too.

Hostess: I'm thirsty..
Kazuma: okay hold on. Hey, can we get some wine over here!?
Bar guy: yes of course, that'll be 4 million dollars.

Okami is getting awesome reviews, it comes out tomorrow or this wednesday , make sure to get it. :D

Vic I want to get this game so bad, but i'm broke right now. I'll get it eventually probably in October. Post some impressions if you can.

The demo was great, the only thing i disliked about it was the combat, it seemed really simple. Zelda's combat is more complex than Okami's, and Zelda has a pretty simple combat system. I gotta play thru that demo some more maybe i'm missing the depth, but simple button mashing seemed to get me thru.

The music, atmosphere, celestial brush mechanics all great. I read the game is pretty long too, which is great to know. I was expecting maybe a 15 hour max title..i read it's closer to 30 though.
