Okamiden producer says his game isn’t a sequel
“I should clarify for you that I don’t consider it a sequel so much as a spiritual successor. I think the team is just happy to be involved in an ?kami project, and for them the joy of being involved in an ?kami project is greater than any pressure or stress they might feel to make this game good. In fact, I think being able to to work on this motivates them further, and spurs them on to try to make something good, and they want to make the best game they can on the DS.”- ?kamiden producer Motoshide Eshiro
There are in a sense two brands of Okami, according to Eshiro, and he is interested in keeping them “seperate.” There’s the brand on the Wii/PS2 and then another one for the DS. I wonder if this means that there’s a chance of a “true” Okami sequel hitting consoles in the future.
