Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

I wouldn't blame Phil one bit for not funding it.

Funded Scalebound and it sounds like he bungled it. Now they're funding Ninja Gaiden 4 while Kamiya pulls staff away. He has talent but isn't being a very reliable partner, to say the least.

Maybe finish Okami and pitch something new after that.

Thats how game looked/played on extremly weaksauce xbox one back in 2015, rebooted version would come out on next gen xbox earliest holidays 2026, imho worth it to at least give the game a chance :)



Yes.

It's not like a reboot will be the same game that was shown.

Kamiya comments on it enough to see that the cancellation has eaten him up inside over the years too.
 
Would love for this to happen.

Clovers looking for business.

They have multiple projects under their belt already, multiple already from Capcom based off rumors of a DMC remake on top of Okami 2.

Then there's Bayo 4 with Sega if the cards are played right, not Platinum.

This would be the icing on the cake, now that Xbox is multiplat.

two months ago he announced okami's sequel which is probably at the beginning of development, why the fuck is he thinking of anything else?

Why not? They will need projects to survive as an independent developer. If they're already lining up the next one, they can stay in business.
 
thinking about other projects when you're only at the beginning of one is crazy for me...

Or desperate
There is nothing desperate here. It's clearly a passion project based on the way he's looking at the old footage here. Kamiya sees the collaboration with Team Ninja and Platinum for NG4, the appeal of high player numbers due to Game Pass + Steam, PlayStation and Switch 2 all being possible platforms, existing artwork and assets built for UE4, etc... Why wouldn't he be pushing for this kind of thing?
