This December, we are delighted to bring you one of the most beautiful and heart-warming action adventure games you will ever play: Okami HD, now with updated visuals that take advantage of modern high resolutions.

Rooted in Japanese folklore, Okami has you taking the on the role of Amaterasu, the sun goddess, as she embodies the legendary white wolf Shiranui. Your wolf part can tackle, and use a number of different weapons—you’re a legendary wolf after all—while your goddess side brings to the table divine powers of the Celestial Brush, a powerful way to breathe new life to the world around you.

In addition to the three platforms mentioned in the headline, you’ll also now be able to experience the art and joy of Okami HD with beautiful 4K graphics on Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and supported PC hardware. Speaking of visual settings, you can now play the game in a modern widescreen format, or if you prefer, you can play in the original 4:3 screen ratio. Fans of the original release, rejoice: we also brought back the original loading screen mini-game where you can earn bonus demon fangs that can be traded for in-game items.

Okami HD will be available on December 12, 2017 in both digital and physical formats for $19.99. For more beautiful screenshots and artwork, follow the Okami pages on Facebook and Twitter.

UPDATE:   Pre-orders for Okami HD are now live!

Get 2 custom themes when you pre-order Okami HD on PS4. Available only through the PlayStation Store:  “Okami”  and “Providence”.

Last week, our larger-than-life Rathalos flew out to Seattle for PAX West 2017, and along with it, went 16 playable stations of Monster Hunter: World, so we could host our first major hands-on event in North America. If you were one of the lucky players to test your hunting skills against the Great Jagras or the Anjanath, please share your thoughts below.

But if you couldn’t make it to the show, you can live vicariously through the awesome folks that came by and recorded gameplay footage, like veteran Gunlance and Bow master Shepard. I saw some other Pro monster hunters get some quality time with the game too…

Speaking of pros, right before PAX, we had fighting game expert Maximilian come by the office and go out on a few hunts. Check out his impressions here too:

Patrick Kulikowski: MAGFest (Music and Gaming Festival) made its West Coast debut in Santa Clara, California as “MAGWest” at the end of August, and you better believe that several game music cover bands assembled and rocked out to some classic Capcom game tunes during its nightly concerts.

Imagine the huge smile on my face as I personally witnessed cover band Kirby’s Dream Band, joined by several other musicians on stage, jamming and dancing with the crowd to the short “Get Weapon” tune from Mega Man 3 for five straight minutes. And then there was Viking Guitar, who busted out a surf rock arrangement of the familiar Ghosts ‘n Goblins stage music as well as a heavy metal medley of Mega Man X2 goodness.

While no video recording has been made available, VGM cover band The Koopas also put on a mighty fine Mega Man X medley, so shout-outs to them as well!

Kirby’s Dream Band

• “Ken’s Stage” & “Guile’s Stage” from Street Fighter II (originally composed by Yoko Shimomura) – 10:56
• “The Moon Stage” from DuckTales (originally composed by Hiroshige Tonomura) – 55:15
• “Storm Eagle” from Mega Man X (originally composed by Makoto Tomozawa) – 58:17
• “Get A Weapon” from Mega Man 3 (originally composed by Yasuaki Fujita) – 1:00:39

Viking Guitar

“1^st & 2 ^nd BGM” from Ghosts ‘n Goblins (originally composed by Ayako Mori) – 25:10

“ Mega Man X2 – Charge Shot” (Mega Man X2 medley including “Opening Stage”, “Magna Centipede Stage,” “Flame Stag Stage,” and “X Hunter Stage 1,” originally composed by Yuki Iwai) 32:27

And once you’ve finishing bobbing your head to all of the above, feast your eyes on this epic Resident Evil cosplay photo . This S.T.A.R.S. vs. Umbrella battle took place on a giant staircase at Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia this past Labor Day weekend.

Who do you think would win? Umbrella may have Wesker and Nemesis, but S.T.A.R.S. has two Barry Burtons. ‘Nuff said!

If you’re looking for yet another way to get your Monster Hunter fix before Monster Hunter: World comes out, allow me to recommend The Carve Podcast , a weekly show where SBJ and Micah sit down and talk all things Monster Hunter. They’ve just released their 10 ^th episode, and, much like the Monster Hunter: World hype train, they show no signs of slowing down. Keep on hunting those monsters, carving those monsters and talking about those monsters!

See you at PAX!

The most common question I’ve been asked as the Community Manger for Dead Rising has been, “When is Dead Rising 4 coming to PlayStation 4?”

Uniformly my answer was the safe go-to, “We haven’t announced additional platforms at this point.”

From today on I’ll be able to say, “#$%& yes we’re coming to PlayStation 4 and we’re bringing some #$%&ing cool stuff with us!” See it’s not just Dead Rising 4 that’s coming to PS4 but it’s the all new super-sized collection Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package .

What the #$%& is Frank’s Big Package? #$%& I’m glad you asked, because otherwise this transition was going to be awkward. Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package includes:

• Dead Rising 4: the latest, greatest version of the game including post-launch difficulty settings and upcoming updates
• Capcom Heroes: an all-new way to experience the Dead Rising 4 story that lets our hero Frank West wear over a dozen outfits and perform outrageous special attacks inspired by classic Capcom characters
• All downloadable content: costumes and weapons from the Stocking Stuffer Holiday Pack, additional single player content in Frank Rising and multiplayer action in Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf .
• All bonus content: Street Fighter Outfit Pack, My Bloody Valentine Pack, Candy Cane Crossbow, Slicecycle, Sir-Ice-A-Lot, Ugly Winter Sweater, and X-Fists.

Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package will be coming to PlayStation 4 on December 5, 2017 for $49.99 MSRP. Current Dead Rising 4 players on Xbox One, Steam and Windows 10 will receive the all-new “Capcom Heroes” mode as a free update when Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package is released along with the upcoming updates.

I’m excited for you all to see Frank’s Big Package. Stay tuned to Dead Rising’s Facebook and Twitter accounts for more details on Capcom Heroes and Frank’s Big Package .
