You roll a fricking ball around. How many games can they milk out of this?
Wow, there's the perfect name. They're retarded if they don't use that.Quote:

Katamari is the one and only practical way I could see the PS3 controller's tilt functionality actually being useful and possibly fun.
It's in the EGM, but it's just a rumor. YOU'RE BACK AT SQUARE ONE
This series is over. One game was all we needed.
Fuck off and fucking eat a cock...Quote:

There isn't anything wrong with him we love katamari just felt plain old stale. I loved the first game but one is really all they needed to make.Quote:

It SO was not stale.
Does anyone else think it was stale? If so, why?
Even if the last sequel was still good...does this franchise need another 73298731 releases on every next-gen console?
You roll a frickin ball around.
But the "missions" were the same old thing roll up a ball until it's "insert size" big. The cousins were a non point since they didn't add or subtract anything. And the movies were too long and chatty. It was the same game only less charming and not as inspired.Quote:

And the King and his youngster days with his original pompadour? That's not charming?! ROYAL RAINBOW!!!!!! Miso! The cute little animal that wants you to roll up a bunch of friends for him because he's lonely! Goddamnit that's charming!!!!!!! EVERLASTING LOVE!

They were fucking cute, that's the point. And they added variety, and the King said different stuff based on who you are. What, did you want different attributes or something?Quote:

I don't care if I have to keep rolling balls in a game about rolling balls.Quote:

I just want it on my 360. I don't care about having gimmicky controls on the Wii or DS or PS3. Katamari is brilliant just the way it is. But KEEP THE FUCKING MUSIC AWESOME PLZ.Quote:

Yes, otherwise why even bother switching? I don't really care if they are cute or not.Quote:

I'd rather Katmari/We <3 Katmari be a fond memory of two near-perfect games than worn out and degraded through sub-par sequels.

I think I remember seeing some interview with the creator saying that he wasn't going to make anymore Katamari's, and that the series was good where it was and there was no sense in making anymore.
That's exactly what I'm saying. I had plenty of fun with the first, but we don't need any more.Quote:

If the DS could handle a Katamari game, I'd kind of like to see one show up there, and then end the series for good.
He said that after the first game, but he was put into the position of "Either you make the sequel or we get someone else to do it." The creator was a very cool guy, he didn't even want to make videogames anymore IIRC, he wanted to make childrens playground equipment. Namco is just milking it dry now, very sad.Quote:

Everything else would be icing. As long as the soundtrack rocks. I could also just custom soundtrack from the original game, but yeah.
Yeah, I'd just like to have one of the 1st 2 games (or a hybrid/combination thing) on the 360 if they can't get the original guy to make a sequel.
But I really want it on the 360.
Unless the creator of Katamari owns the sole rights to the franchise or something like that, there's nothing stopping Namco from continuing the series.
James' point is very valid, but I'd still like to see how the game would play out using the Wii or PS3 control scheme. Putting it on the 360 doesn't seem like it would change things up very much.
Katamari ruled hard. 2 was even better. If you play for score like you play a shmup for score, it has a looooot of replay value, and fun replay value beacuse let's fucking face it.
Rolling a ball around is fucking fun as hell. I'd say it's more fun than VO:OT.
Agreed.Quote:

The series is adead and it should remain dead. Not every good game needs a million sequels and I'd rather have more games with the same design sense as Katamari than more Katamari games.
