KATAMARI THREAD

Depends how you're playing it. Are you on a PSP? You're just going to have cramps and pains after an hour or so. If you're on an emulator you can probably make it more manageable. I just found it really painful and tough to play in comparison to something like the original PS2 one or the 360 version.

Yes, it's a pretty popular series.
Bamco even tried to ride its success with infinite mobile and portable spin-offs after the original creator left.

Played only two Katamari games (original and the PSP one) and enjoyed both. Is every other game more of the same, or are there unique differences or gimmicks involved?

if is anything to go by get the ps2 game "we love"

>Took one of the most original games of modern times
>Shamelessly rehashed it until nobody wanted to buy it anymore and the creator quit video games
Bravo Namco!

Of course a new Katamari game would work on the Xbone or PS4, it would be able to be the biggest and best Katamari game yet.
But Katamari Forever was basically a big ol' celebratory farewell to the mainline console games. The main director didn't want to make anymore entries while now they're constantly trying to make mobile ports that don't have any of the original soul and cheeriness the mainline PS2 games use to have.

We Love Katamari is the best PS2 one.

>Tfw when you get big enough to roll the King in We Love

Also Kinoko a best

you forgot Touch My

Takahashi abandoned Bamco but he's still creating vidya with a small indipendent studio, he's currently making Wattam

>Kinoko a best

Wattam looks very Takahashi.

>reading comprehension

Shit taste. Every game after Damacy was unnecessary and therefor inferior.

That's not Nickel, June, or Slip

>Beautiful
Good game
too bad the 360 control wasn't made for play katamari

Wasn't Beautiful more DLC then game?

Dashing was a nightmare

it just would need to be fun and not look like a fucking nintenturd gamecube title

join PS4/Xbone its cold and dark over there in the Wii shithole

but the katamari games came out on ps2 and xbox user, they were never on a nintendo console

I heard that the guy never really wanted to make more than one Katamari game or something isn't that right? I really enjoyed them but god I wish it was on PC, I'd kill for some like, map editors or new coops game modes.

Katamari was a series that was like 50% gameplay, 50% music.

I could just chill out playing the stages over and over due to the music.
It was the best.

It's brilliant gameplay mixed with an overall very original and Japanese atmosphere for the time. Who cares if you dunno what the songs are actually singing about? You're enjoying yourself too much to care.

same man. i also spent a ridiculous amount of time playing the levels where you start out tiny, and then just exploring the world from that perspective

Was there ever a level that started you off as the smallest and just let you go until you were the maximum size? I don't think there was.
Like you start as a small but not like, thimble size

fuck i'd play Katamari but with ultra realistic graphic style

Any specific PS2 emulator settings to get Katamari Damacy running on a toaster? It's fine like 50 percent of the time but the other 50 percent it's a slog.

...

Of course it would work, problem is it seems like they stopped trying with the series when it slowly became a best of rehash of itself game after game.

post good Katamari song

you will have to use the one analog stick the psp has, and the face buttons to roll (poor souls are the ones that use the d-pad instead), it will be awkward at first but if you managed to get used to it, you will enjoy it

So when do we get a quirky animal crossing style game with all the Cousins?

the games should just be released bundled every 10 years. not only do I think they'd sell, I think we'd see positive mental health effects in the population

blue orb is really good, especially when you blaze it

Katamari Damacy only came back because the grumps started playing it and said it was good.

>forever over we love and damacy

not from katamari but just as good

I would love an HD Damacy on PS4.

What about Wattam?

I bought Katamari Forever.
How good is that game compared to the rest of the series?

One of the weakest ones to be honest, the best are We Love, Damacy and Beatiful, in that order, everything else is filler.

The game is kind of like HD katamari collection, you have same levels from previous games with remixed music plus few new levels and story.

Really? I've heard the 360 version is kinda weak. Is it better than the PS3 port

I thought that was a good sequel. I'm having fun with it, but now I'm feeling like I'm missing a lot by playing Forever only

The game is good and it's like any katamari game with slight improvements.
I'm not sure why didn't you play release order but it's not like you can't play those older games after Forever, it's just that the game is a collection of levels from past games in the series.

The PS3 game is not a port from Beautiful, it's a different game, I personally prefer Beautiful over it because it has more varied levels.
