Hideki Kamiya Reveals Spider-Man 2 Scene That Inspired Key Game Sequence in Okami
Hideki Kamiya revealed that Okami's main planner took inspiration from a scene in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 movie to shape one particular moment in the highly-acclaimed 2006 game.
Okami's lead planner, Hiroshi Shibata, drew inspiration from a scene in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 movie to create a key moment in the game. The scene in question involves Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker stopping a runaway train using his webs. In Okami, players must cross a raging river, with an NPC repairing the bridge that spans it.
A log suddenly flies downstream, prompting a timed segment where Amaterasu must use her Vine power to slow the log down. Hideki Kamiya, the game's director, confirmed this connection to his official X/Twitter account, revealing that this segment was planned by Shibata, who took inspiration from the iconic Spider-Man 2 train scene.
