I tried the demo and didn't understand the appeal. It's a somewhat neat idea but the game is just a walking simulator with the occasional minigames that are impossible to fail. I was already bored and was really happy when the demo ended.

Isnt this woke?

>>714856641 (OP)
Wouldn't be the first time

Katamari was a fluke and this fag has never done anything good since

>>714856682
Yes.

Na na na na na na na Bankruptcy Damacyyy

>>714856682
it's full of niggers and other shitskins

>>714856743
what the dog doin'?

The redpill is that Keita Takahashi is a good artist with soulful ideas but he needs actual good game developers (Like Namco, the goats) to produce anything worth a shit around those ideas.
It's very easy to imagine what Katamari Damacy would look like if it were created today by him as an indie director. The King of Cosmos and all that shit would stay the same but the actual "game" would be mobile-tier garbage.

>>714856743
More like inTo the T.

He should commit sudoku to atone for this embarrassment of a game, but modern japanese are soulless subhuman bugmen with no honor.

It's crazy to me that there's games by pretty well known people that just have no audience. Videogames are pretty severe about the "you either have it or you don't" factor. A game can fail to make any impact with anyone.

>>714856815
>Like Namco, the goats

>>714856872
The indie game market is absolutely insane right now. There is simply too many games. More choice than ever. Competition is fierce. It's so easy to go look at steam's catalog and find 5 games just from this year alone that have less than 500 reviews and would have been hailed as classics back in 2012.

>>714856806
Learnin'

>>714856815
>but the actual "game" would be mobile-tier garbage
So... What would change, then?

>>714856983
Die.

>>714856983
Fuck you

>>714856815
The soul he injected into Katamari was its sole saving grace which is evident by the franchise swiftly devolving into mobile-tier garbage once he left.

>>714856641 (OP)
Katamari was always shit and gets boring after 3 levels, it’s the same shit across every game

He should probably try making a video game instead of more boring digital toy boxes

>>714857132
also controls suck dick, and the music aside from a few tracks that are nice, is absolute annoying trash

You don't truly appreciate the heart & soul of Katamari if you don't at least respect Takahashi's works after it

>>714857132
youre trying too hard

>>714857264
I’ve played both games on ps5

>>714857201
But digital toy boxes is what he likes to make. He literally makes toys IRL. Katamari would've also been a digital toy box; it was Namco that suggested he add time limits to the game and give the player size goals.

>>714857206
>also controls suck dick
unironically filtered
>music sucks
peak contrarianism

>>714856983

Noby Noby Boy and Wattam both tanked so is this really any surprise

>>714856641 (OP)
Well this thread is the first time i've ever heard of this game so clearly they did something wr-

>>714856743
HAHAHAHAHA

>>714857206
>also controls suck dick
that's intentional, youre supposed to be imitating rolling a ball, with each hand (analogue stick). its supposed to be feel clunky and add to the chaos, and giving it a more traditional control scheme would completely miss the point

>>714856743
lol not even one (1) white male
they really intend to replace us and are coping their women prefer us

>>714856641 (OP)
Just like any other game he created with Katamari being the exception?

>>714857483
i mean it's basically more literal tank controls, and just as with traditional tank controls, it's an IQ filter

>>714857483
>It's shit on purpose
Ok. Still shit.

>>714857528
Why would there be white men in a japanese classroom?

>>714856743
kek
roflmao even

>>714856676
Reminder that Katamari Damacy would not have a fail state if not for Namco forcing him to make it that way.

Namco had to tard wrangle him to make Katamari an actual game and not some artsy demo non-game shit like literally everything else he's done since then.

>>714857483
nah i can control it just fine, they are just shit, I don’t mind old school tank controls, a tho a vr katamari would be cool I guess

>>714856864

Thanks for posting in my thread, friends. I also made this thread. Would appreciate you bumping that one as well: >>714847643

I swear from the way a good chunk of people online you see go on about Katamari, very few of them have actually played them and just listen to the music on YouTube

>>714857705
It has that Jet Set Radio effect where people are drawn to the music and aesthetics and praise it by virtue of being a niche hipster pick, but nobody wants to actually play the video game

>>714857705
I played ___________the demo__________

>>714857705
Most people posting here these days played the remasters or the shitty sequels and basically missed out on the hype and atmosphere of the era it was released in.

Don't be mad at the meta gamer. Be mad at the meta.

It looks like absolute trash

>indie dev hoists this concept and makes a platformer slithering around as a snake
>low and beyond when there's a real game attached its a super fun concept

>>714856641 (OP)
has he worked on anything else in the meantime or is this his magnum opus?

>>714858263
QRD?

This is a game that would've been an indie darling in 2013. Times change.

>>714856815
> X is a good artist with soulful ideas but he needs actual good game developers to produce anything worth a shit
This is actually A LOT of those popular classic game directors
Say whatever you want about Kojimbo but he was smart enough to bring some of his team along with him when he exited Konami

>>714858338
snakepass
fun game, gives actual purpose to being long and wrapping around things

>>714858423
A lot of indie dogshit from the past were big by virtue of hardly anything else being around at the time to compete.

>>714856815
>The redpill is that Keita Takahashi is a good artist with soulful ideas
soulful ideas like making a shitty game full of niggers?
nah, kys retard

>>714858689
You're zoomer and I'm not interested in your vidya opinions.

>>714856743
this flopped? NO WAY!

>>714858263

ESLs these days are truly embarrassing.
They're a diamond dozen in this doggy dog world.

You can filter out tags!?
Man I need to do that as well.

>>714856743
how many of them are trans

>>714856743
Westaboos are completely helpless without a healthy culture to ape, so sad.

>>714858593
Literally exactly the type of thing I was thinking. I could imagine a bunch of poignant articles about this shit, and how you should totally download it off of Xbox Live Arcade.

Why are all the character ambiguously brown, even though it's clearly a Japanese setting?

>>714859829
I believe most characters are the color of the main character (which you choose).

>>714857705
My controller got stick drift so I had to resort to using my keyboard. It's a good game. Same with Dead Space, I ended up using the dpad to walk and also handle switching weapons.

>>714856743
truly a mystery why no one bought this

>>714856743
oh ok it's deserved

>>714857589
Why is like, 70% of a Japanese classroom brown and black?

>>714856641 (OP)
That describes everything he's made since Katamari Damacy.

>>714856743
I think I see two Japanese people in this shot. Kid in the back sleeping, and the girl on the right. This literally feels like they Japanified going to school as a white kid in the inner city.

>>714856743
WE WUZ JAPANESE AND SHIT

or are those poos?

>>714860368
Oh, and maybe the teacher, which is the cherry on top. "Look before you at the future of your country. You didn't grow up with this, but you get to experience it every day for the rest of your career."

>>714857201
That's the last thing he wants to do. I love Katamari but I always feel a little sad this guy had nothing else in him worth a darn.

>>714860401
All the webms I see of this game just look like a giant shitpost that it makes me curious to try it. But I also don't want to spend any money on it and I hear it's also a bug riddled mess that bombards you with in-game ads every 4 minutes

>>714857705
I've played every version, except for mobile and Xbox.

More liek UDDER flop amirite

>>714858263
What do you think to hoist means?

>>714856743
I have woke fatigue
When is it finally going to end?

>>714856641 (OP)
this is the most marketing ive seen for this game so makes sense

>>714857705
I played the ps2 demo

>>714857705
I never played it before on ps2 and only recently started it on steam.
It was really fun

>>714860936
never

>>714861170
But all those activists are getting fired left and right... it has to stop at some point, right?

>>714861260
they are just getting replaced by indians who will keep making the same pozzed shit, but with even worse quality

>>714861260
The layoffs that are happening do not target woke people. It's just that most people getting laid off are woke because most people in the industry are woke. The industry is losing people but its percentages of wokeness aren't changing. You're not paying attention.

DON'TU WORRY
DO YOUR BEST

>>714856641 (OP)
Yeah he does that

>>714861363
>>714861373
Fuck...

>>714860691
They were basically trying to tank the company with this game so they could get bought out.

>>714861363
The fact that Indians are going to eventually become an aspect of all parts of life in every country's production fills me with a sense of existential dread like no other.

>>714860936
It's coming to an end, tons of woke garbage debuted their trailer in summer game fest, pc gaming show, future games show, all started production during the George Floyd year of 2020, only to soon become like Concord.

>>714861904
People love to bring up Concord while ignoring that Sony IS STILL FUCKING MAKING NOTHING BUT LIVE SERVICES
Biggest flop in history and they haven't learned. It will never end

>>714861956
All of them started production somewhat at the same time, right?
They are already getting cold feet with fairgames

>>714862173
Marathon...

>>714861956
At this point, what can they do? Five years ago some retard said, "spend all our fucking money on live service shit. Our entire generation will be live service. 12 first party live service games from Sony." And since games take five years or more to make? They just gotta release that crap. It's like living in those first few hours of radiation sickness. You feel fine, but you know you're dead.

>>714862298
Cancel them. Do the same thing Microslop is doing right now

>>714862351
And then they just literally will have no games for years. All of this is just people now suddenly realizing $500 million dollar investments in products that take 5-7 years to make, and aren't guaranteed hits, is a bad idea. Xbox and Playstation essentially lost an entire generation to this.

>>714862298
Imagine wasting all your years on a soon to be dead game

>>714862547
Six figure salary in a luxurious office "campus," with a gym, and cafeteria. Only sad part is knowing it's going to end, and the company's going to shutter.

>>714862465
That's why they have to pre-emptively fire people for the lost revenue over the next years. Not like releasing another Concord would change that. It's a giant sunk cost fallacy
Instead, start releasing small games with AA budgets to tide you over

>>714861956
This is what happens when games are made by investors and not gamers.

>>714862664
They could always find work on the next woke game in the next company.

>>714860936
If by end you mean return to white hegemony in the west then never. Everybody will be homogeneous brown golems in a century

>>714857705
I played the Steam version.
It's not a long game so I don't know why you're acting like it's impossible for people to have played it.

>>714857705
Played the 1 and We Love Katamari REROLL remakes
They're both outstanding

>>714860191
Because it takes place in Okinawa

>>714863598
cute!!!

Grown ass Japanese man making games about a brown kid tposing and eating ice cream, come the fuck on bro…

>>714858593
Why did Braid need a remaster?

>>714863726

>>714857795
It's funny because both games are cheap and short, to the point a good player could probably beat it in less than 2 hours and refund it

I didn't think JSR was very fun but I haven't played Future

>>714856743

>>714860801
esl degradation train. "Take" -> "heist" -> misheard/misspelled as "hoist"

>>714856983
This. Game is mobile tier, but like one of those decent mobile games that came out in the early days of the iPod Touch/iPhone rather than the microtransaction filled slop that dominates the platform today. I could see Katmari Damacy taking advantage of the accelerometer for movement.

>>714864039
Mishearing based errors are a domain of EOPs.

>>714857705
lonely rolling star is the only good song so I don't know wtf you're talking about.

>>714856815
The issue is that he doesn’t like making objective-based games
His original pitch for Katamari was literally just a weird tech demo where you roll around without timers or goals and grow larger
Namco realized they couldn’t just sell that alone so they added the time limits and level quirks, eventually taking the series further with challenges and stuff (for better or worse)
This is evident in his recent projects like wattam and noby, both of which are just 3D spaces to mess around in with very little direction
Don’t get me wrong, I think Katamari absolutely benefits from having a structure
Levels like the cow/bear one and the campfire/sumo ones are memorable because the devs stepped in and said so

>>714863869
Future drops most of the arcadey elements, simplifies the gameplay, and feels more like a Sonic tech demo that got turned into an extreme sports title. I'd say both are good, but I prefer Future since I played Future first.

I wish Reroll added the stretching Katamari gimmick from Touch My Katamari, makes the game so much less reliant on constantly boosting.

>>714858593
Braid at least made good use of its gimmick. Unlike the shit Keita Takahashi has made.
