Capcom has a released an almost-five-minute video showing off the improved visuals in the upcoming HD re-release of Okami.

As a big fan of the PlayStation 2 version, I am definitely excited to play Okami again on my PS3, but I’m also laughing a little at everyone getting so hyped over how “exciting” the “HD visuals” are. Okami has ALWAYS been a gorgeous game, and the “new” graphics look exactly the same to me as the classic! I also think it’s interesting that Capcom chose a dim and dark cave adventure to show off the updated appearance…

But this is just a YouTube video; maybe my untrained eye will be more impressed (than I already am with the original PS2 art) when I see it on my TV screen.

Regardless, I’ll still be checking Okami HD out when it releases through the PlayStation Network later this year, and racking up some trophies!
