Go for the HD version, says Hideki Kamiya (Capcom)The director behind kami has expressed his dislike for one version of the game, as he continues work on the follow-up.Developer Hideki Kamiya is known for directing some of the best games ever, between his work at Capcom like Resident Evil 2 and Bayonetta at PlatinumGames.One of his most beloved titles is kami, which he directed under Capcoms Clover Studio. The action-adventure game was originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2006 (and 2007 in Europe), but was later ported to the Wii by another studio, Ready At Dawn, in 2008.While the Wii version arguably had superior controls, with the motion controls allowing you to draw with the celestial brush, Kamiya has told players to play the other versions instead.In response to a fan who asked if they should play the Wii version over PC, Kamiya replied: The Wii version is not the original. I made the PlayStation 2 version.If youre going to play it now, the best version is the HD version. Personally, I dont want you to play the Wii version.While he doesnt give an explicit reason for his preference, kami on Wii has a troubled history. The creative director on the port, Ru Weerasuriya, previously described its development as a technical challenge.https://twitter.com/HidekiKamiya_X/status/1885827363419894090We started with no assets and literally reverse-engineered the whole thing back onto Wii, he told VG247. It was not your typical port, but it was fun.Kamiyas distaste for the Wii version might be because it doesnt feature the original credits created by Clover due to legal constraints, something which he expressed back in 2008.More TrendingIm not disappointed because my name was removed from the game, Kamiya wrote (via Eurogamer) at the time. Of course, we all have pride in our work; we all want to stand up and say, I made this. Yet more importantly, I find it extremely regrettable that the [thoughts, emotions and messages] that went into the staff roll are gone from the game as well.Another ding against the Wii version is its box art, which was found to have an IGN watermark on it shortly after release.Kamiya is working on a sequel to kami at his new studio Clovers, alongside some of his former PlatinumGames colleagues. Little is known about the sequel, but Capcom has warned itll be a few years away yet.This isnt the first kami sequel though, with a spiritual successor, titled kamiden, being released for the Nintendo DS in 2010.
