Beautiful Katamari

Last night I realized that a large part of the appeal for me is the simplified 3d models in this game. In particular the people look straight out of a way weirder version of the "Money for Nothing" music video.

what are the chances of a new Katamari game

Gotta take it slow in your fast ride (calstars), Saturday, 28 December 2013 15:56 (ten years ago) link

played it on PCSX2. It has a little bit of slowdown at parts but it really doesn't bother me

There was LOTS of slowdown on a real ps2 (if I remember right), so it shouldn't bother you. But yeah, the graphics / humor / music & style are what make the game, not so much the rolling up gameplay / challenge of beating the levels / collect-a-thon...

It's actually pretty challenging though! Usually I have to play a level 2 or 3 times before passing.

I need one of those ps3s thats backwards compatible for psone and 2.

isn't Reroll just the first game, re-released? I got it for the Switch because it was cheap, and it was fun but I wasn't really too into it. the Switch controller doesn't really work well for this sort of thing.

haha yes

yeah Reroll is just remastered (or w/e) for hi-def TVs, it should be the same amount of fun, I don't think they changed a thing. It's kind of annoying they didn't include We <3 Katamari as well, but it's probably tedious work upscaling the graphics

I thought you rolled up the sun at the end of the original katamari. now its the moon.

xp they're releasing a we <3 katamari reroll separately, soon-ish

I'm not sure about this, but I think you do the moon in the original and the sun in We <3 ?

xp ah good to know!

rob, Thursday, 27 April 2023 20:35 (eleven months ago) link

Ah could be! Good to hear about We <3 coming out.
