We know we should keep our enthusiasm for Katamari Damacy Tribute at reasonable levels. After all, creator Keita Takahashi has officially moved on, and the games haven't maintained the same charm since his departure. But then the trademark Katamari Damacy music kicks in (this time, performed by a variety of Japanese musicians), stuff starts getting rolled up, and we're enthralled. This trailer is fantastic, and not just because of the animal pictures.
The animal pictures do help a lot.
The trailer confirms the return of stages from previous Katamaris -- the gingerbread house is easily identifiable enough as originating in We Love Katamari. But there also seem to be new stages, like one in which your katamari causes plants to grow wherever it goes. There is further new content in the new music, the new 1080p presentation, and an optional (or restricted to certain stages) cel-shaded look. Just like that, we're in love with Katamari Damacy again! How disturbing.
Wow, the cel-shaded look is very impressive. Would love to hear the additional tunes and see the HD facelift. This is one of the few games where I actually prefer the PS2/3 controller, felt kinda clunky and not right with the 360 controller in Beautiful Katamari.
Usually the trailers say "Playstation 3 PSN game", but this one just said "Playstation 3" I'm personally hoping for a disc.. infact, why not just like burnout paradise and have it on both? :)
Please, please, make this a PSN game! I think it would do worlds better there than it would at retail, fighting for limited shelf space, especially for such a niche title!
I'll definitely be getting this. Looks very cool, though the sometimes cel-shaded, sometimes not has me a little confused (both look fine). I wonder when it will be released.
I get your game sony, wearing me down bit by bit. I think the day when team ICO releases whatever it's making is the day I buy a PS3. It worked with Shadow of the Colossus and the PS2.
