Hideki Kamiya, the industry legend who departed from PlatinumGames last year, has once again expressed his ongoing interest in developing new installments for both the Okami and Viewtiful Joe series. He believes that both narratives are left incomplete and that it is imperative to finish what was started.
During part two of Unseen’s “Memories unblocked with Ikumi Nakamura,” Kamiya shared how he took matters into his own hands by participating in Capcom’s recent survey and specifically requesting the creation of a new Viewtiful Joe game. Despite his direct appeal to the company, his plea seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. The frustration is evident in his statement, “What the hell, Capcom?”
Kamiya also pointed out the popularity of Okami in Capcom’s survey and reiterated his desire to bring closure to the story of this beloved game. He feels a sense of duty as a creator to fulfill the expectations of fans who are eagerly anticipating a sequel. His dedication to completing Okami’s narrative is unwavering, even though he has moved on from the project.
This is not the first time that Kamiya has expressed his desire to continue the Okami and Viewtiful Joe series. His passion for these games is undeniable, and he continues to advocate for their revival. The question remains – will Capcom heed his call and give fans the sequels they have been longing for?
As fans, we can only hope that Hideki Kamiya’s persistence pays off and that we will eventually see new entries in the Okami and Viewtiful Joe series. The legacy of these games lives on, and it would be a dream come true for many to experience the continuation of these captivating stories. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and wait for Capcom’s response to Kamiya’s impassioned plea.
