Hideki Kamiya regrets insulting an Okami fan

Hideki Kamiya, a video game director who is notoriously inflammatory and controversial on Twitter, expressed regret for offending a fan of Okami on the social media platform. The original Okami is considered one of Capcom's cult classics and passion projects due to its unique art style and gameplay. Hideki Kamiya is known in the gaming industry as the originator of a number of Capcom games, including this one. He is also one of the most outspoken directors in the industry Tekken Producer Katsuhiro Harada, as he is not afraid to express his opinion on things or block fans on Twitter who upset him.

While Kamiya is known as the face of Platinum Games, he recently left the studio and returned to Capcom to found Clovers, a successor studio to Clover Studio 20 years ago. The announcement of this new studio coincided with the announcement of one Okami Sequel at the Game Awards 2024. A sequel to Okami was one of the last games viewers expected to be announced, especially fans of the cult classic since there hasn't been a new entry in the series since 2010 Okamides.
