Eye This Game was Game of the Year in 2006, but never achieved the sales success that matched its critical acclaim. Well, its sequel would be fitting, even if it’s still completely insane The Legend of Zelda– Inspired adventure game to be announced at this year’s Game Awards. The musical medley on stage reveals what we’re getting Master 2 from the original director some twenty years later.
What made players fall in love with the original game in the era of PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii was its evocative art inspired by Japanese folklore, and its innovative drawing mechanic that let players simulate brush strokes on the screen to solve puzzles and fight enemies. . Nothing like it has ever happened since, and perhaps until now.
The film is directed by Hideki Kamiya of Clover Studio. A Capcom veteran, he has also previously directed Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry. After the game’s release, he and the company’s other creative leads left and founded Platinum Games, where they built the game Bayonetta series and other action games. At The Game Awards, Keighley revealed that Kamiya has returned to Capcom to lead a new studio called Clovers, which is developing a sequel.
“One thing I want to make clear is that I am not exiting PlatinumGames to make specific games elsewhere or to work with specific partners under better conditions,” he told IGN In an interview last year after leaving the previous company. “I’ve heard baseless rumors that I’ll be working with this or that person, but no decisions have been made yet. When I left PlatinumGames, I really had no other plans. After resigning, I spent some time watching movies and TV show. But as I started thinking about it, I realized that I already had a clear idea of the game I wanted to make. I couldn’t begin to put those ideas into action yet, but I had already started thinking about ways to make it happen. That being said, making games rarely goes the way you imagine, so I wanted to explore my options and find the route that works best for me.
In the years since its release, Eye Got a spiritual successor named okami field On the Nintendo DS and later the HD port, it is currently available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. We still know very little about Okami 2, and it sounds like it may still be in its early stages. The original game was something very special and fans have been waiting for it for a long time, and I’m sure they’ll be content to patiently wait a few more years to play the sequel.
