Title: Okami comparison thread of shitty captures and washed out colors
Post by: Don Flamenco on April 18, 2008, 01:19:02 AM: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32960.html

yeah, stole it from gaf, but I can't post there, so here we are.

I'm not against the Wii version, but I wonder what the hell GT is trying to pull with this. I've played Okami for the PS2 on a CRT at 480i and upscaled on an LCD, neither looked nearly as bad as it does in their little comparison vid. I mean, there are no colors on Amaterasu at all...

Post by: Smooth Groove on April 18, 2008, 01:22:16 AM: I find those comparisons to be mostly uninformative. Combining both versions in a tiny video makes it hard to see the differences.

Post by: Mupepe on April 18, 2008, 01:25:35 AM: the ps2 version looks black and white at some points in that video. wtf?

My friend just brought over the game on the wii. It's pretty fun I guess, PS2 is still the better version. I have a question though, why is there a fucking IGN watermark on the cover?

lol what?!

Title: Re: Okami comparison thread of shitty captures and washed out colors
Post by: muckson on April 21, 2008, 10:22:27 AM: the game does have better coloring in the video. unfortunately it doesn't matter since you have to use that ridiculous wiggle controller that is starting to suck more and more as games come out. also, to get it on the wii you had to wait two years.

the only point proved is that one of the better games on the wii came from ps2.

Capcom FTL on the box art design.

Holy Crap at Capcom CHEAPINESS.

It's like they said to their box-art art guy: google some Okami PS2 images, we can't be bothered to do anything new.

Well, clover studio was shut down, so the artist is either gone or working on something else.

Ahhh... I forgot about that.

Capcom = redeemed.

You'd think they could have at least pulled a version of that pic from the game's press kit/FTP directory, rather than using what they found on IGN (and taking the time to partially clone out the logo).
