In a year that gave us visual masterpieces like Horizon Zero Dawn, which also benefited from the PlayStation 4 Pro’s ability to push 4K graphics, I still can’t help but be in awe over how lush the Okami re-release looks.Īnd if you don’t have a 4K TV, don’t worry. Capcomįrom the simple moments, like watching a small bird eat some seeds, to the full-on visual assault of boss encounters, Okami HD’s vibrant visuals seem like they were always made for brilliant displays. Beauty is something so deeply ingrained in the game’s DNA, so it’s wonderful to see all of those details realized at such a high resolution. But what really piqued my interest was the ability to play this re-release on 4K, which is a level of visual fidelity this game always deserved. Okami was stunning then, and now that the game is in 4K, it’s only become better.īased on the original PlayStation 3 HD remaster from 2012, Okami HD borrows the ability to set the game to widescreen, which is definitely the best way to play the game. I’ve always been impressed by how stunning Okami looked, especially as it launched when so many games were dreary-looking and far less visually inspired.

That’s until I spent a few days with the Okami HD re-release, which is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. I respect giving classic titles a second lease on life with crisper graphics and more detailed textures, but I’ve rarely felt like most games have benefited enough from the upgraded visual polish to warrant the replay. HD remakes have only become more and more common - and I’ve only gotten less and less interested in them.
