You know that games are revealed years before they're released, right? According to Wikipedia, Okami was shown around 2005, and Twilight Princess's first trailer came in 2004. It's not like games just come out with no prior knowledge of them. A game can be announced, and someone can say "Oh hey, I like that...let's do that!" And make a clone. Have you ever heard of Gameloft? They do this with all of their games. Take something that's in concept, and clone it.

I'm trying to let people who have no idea about the game know that it's very clear Okami draws heavily from Zelda. I simply wondered...how heavily? This isn't even new information, it's been discussed since both games were released. Sorry I committed a crime here, by asking questions and trying to discuss something. In my original post, I even indicated that it could be complete coincidence. But like you usually do, you stuck onto one small point, assumed I was an idiot, and tried to be confrontational.

Okami is a Zelda clone. There's no doubt about that. Just like Darksiders is a Zelda clone. I was simply wondering if anyone had any info on Clover Studios taking an idea from a game that was already in production.

PS+ Members are gonna get 30% off the new Portal 2 Move-enabled DLC (full price is $9.99), and 30% off Portal 2 when it becomes available on PSN next Tuesday. All of Portal 2 is also being patched to include Move controls.

I actually didn't even know they were working on something like this, otherwise I probably wouldn't have sold my copy of Portal 2 on PS3 and re-bought it on Xbox. Too bad the Move-enabled DLC isn't standalone...

Trust me, I didn't assume anything: you just compared Gameloft making iOS games to full length console games. Look how defensive you got.

Oh wait, is this you being "sarcastic" again?

Well that's what I was trying to do...and just ask a question. Apparently that's not allowed.

But like I said...if anyone hasn't played Okami and is on the fence about it. If you like Zelda, you'll like this game. Also, if you don't like Zelda...this game out-Zeldas most Zelda games. I think this game does a lot of things right that Zelda games could do better. I like the concept of drawing with the brush a lot more than constantly switching items in your inventory.

Sometimes I wonder why you find the need to be such a DB? All I was trying to do was ask a question. Just because you don't know the answer, doesn't mean you have to chime in with an idiotic post about games not being made in a couple months. You could just...not say anything? I guess it would be hard to not boost your ego and try to correct everyone. Gotta make yourself feel special somehow. And do yourself a little research. Gameloft makes console games too, buddy. And most of them are rip offs.

News flash, Okami is a great game and those who missed out on it should definitely check it out as the HD port is done elegantly without issue.

The answer is no, they did not rip each other off.

What kind of answer you want me to give him then? I can't hardly find any article online that details the what segments did they rip each other off. They are troll post and for some reason this thread comes up as the third one when I search for "did okami rip off twilight princess"

Eh, you're not a douchebag. You actually answered a question, without the need to talk down to someone. A rarity in this thread lately.


Back to PSN...what are the plans for your $20 credits? Since I spent $100 on most of the stuff I actually wanted, and the $20 expires after 30 days, I think I'll pick R&C: FFA.

The $20 expires after a month? Hmm, maybe if Jet Set Radio ever gets released for Vita (unless SEGA and Sony are going to give it away to launch the new PS+ for Vita ), I'll pick that up. I have plenty of options since I went with 1 year of PS+, Okami HD, and Sports Champions 2 to get over $100.

Maybe I'm wrong, and just the voucher expires?

There are two conflicting reports on that page. Morgan says it will be there as long as you redeem the voucher within 30 days. Then Kristine says the free money expires. Just to be safe, I'll use it on R&C and not risk it. Maybe Frisky will know more.

If the money is on the wallet i don't see how it will expire.

They announced it at E3, which is why you may have seen Portal 2 in some of the sizzle reels, and they also said they were looking into adding it for the whole game during the show.

The last money back offer they did had an expiration date for when you could no longer redeem it, so don't procrastinate like some of you already do for normal sales.

Money in your wallet never expires as far as I know.

Wait so is all of Portal 2 30% off for PS+?

The way I read it on IGN was that it was just the Move DLC. Haven't gotten around to listening to the blogcast yet.

From the announcement on the PS Blog:

We are timing the release of Portal 2 In Motion to coincide with Valve’s release of Portal 2 for digital download on PlayStation Network, which now includes PlayStation Move support (implemented by Sixense) for the entire single-player and cooperative campaigns. PS Plus members will also receive 30% off on Portal 2 when it launches on PSN.

When Vikings Attack looks like a fun, unique game, and 30% off (PS+) to boot!

Anyone know the price for When Vikings Attack? I don't know anything about the game but 30% off and cross buy sounds appealing.
