Thread 717591645

What are some level ideas you'd want in the new Katamari?
I want a Halloween level

>>717591645 (OP)
There was that haunted school level, which is close

More vidya-themed maps. The PacMan stage in the Vita game was fun.

I still can’t believe we’re getting a new katamari in two months and it looks good too

I didn't like how slow the default movement speed in We Love was

>>717591645 (OP)
more cows

>>717591950
*breathes in*
MMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>717591645 (OP)
I want to get into this series. Which game should I play?

>>717592050
Katamari Reroll then We Love Katamari Reroll then if you're really desparate play the PS3 and Xbox 360 ones.
The new one in a couple months looks great.

>>717592050
The original if you can stomach the 30 fps
If not play we love and wait for the new one

level editor and the ability to make custom low poly objects and textures

I'm just happy to get new levels in general. For so many years it's been rehashing the same levels over and over
Anyone play the apple exclusive?

>>717591950
No Cowbear level ffs.

>>717592192
Level editor would actually be a cool idea, especially if there's servers in place to share/race others/leaderboard records/etc.

>>717592050
Remake on Steam, then We Love Remake on Steam

Was the Vita game the only entry where the King was rendered in 3d?
Complete with bulge

>>717592098
>>717592113
Ok. The games always looked fun I just never really got a chance to play them. The idea of starting off tiny rolling up coins, eventually rolling up houses seemed like fun. I'll play both remasters in order

>>717592367
Touch played with the aesthetic too much

OKAY MISTER SUNSHINE

>>717592395
Should I get the music pack or nah?

>>717592794
eh, either way

>>717592395
have fun bro the first two games are perfect

>>717591645 (OP)
tony hawk level

Is the PSP game worth playing?

>>717591645 (OP)
Katamari X Dark Souls

>>717592981
This is actually inspired and it would be fun to go off half pipes to get stuff in the air. Sounds like a level with a lot of kinetic potential.

>>717593213
>rolls up anor londo while katamari on the rocks is playing

>>717592272
I've never played it but I think the premise of it is cute, I like it more than the premise of Once Upon A Karamari

>>717591645 (OP)
>Farm level where you have to harvest the right crops and not roll up livestock
>Flooded level where you have to soak up all the floodwater
>ant level where you have to roll up enough ants to roll up the queen
>Road rolling level where you have to get big and heavy enough to smooth out bumps in the road before the president's motorcade arrives
>Dreamworld level where the King has a certain theme in mind, gives you a clue and you have to roll up objects related to it. All objects not related to the theme will be randomly included so the stage changes each time you play
>Garbage cleanup level where you have to collect specifically trash related objects
>Warehouse and shipping level where you start off in the mail room and the goal is to get big enough to roll up a cargo ship
>Time reset stage where after 2 minutes all objects that were rolled up repopulate the stage but the Katamari stays large

>>717592718
NA NAA NANANA NA NAA NA NAA

>>717592503
I didn't recall anything too egregious, but it has been.......FOURTEEN FUCKING YEARS? SERIOUSLY?

>>717593437
All of these? Stolen by me.

>>717592367
>>717593519
he looks fucking terrifying

>>717593371
It's pretty much a full fledged katamari game
My only gripe is how levels max out at 8 minutes so there is no "10 cm to 1km" type level

I want an open world Katamari with timed objectives you come across as you explore/size up. You start the size of a thimble, have multiple starting points, and take whatever damn path you please through the bustling city streets of Osaka or Nagoya.

>>717593669
The first game -kinda- tried this but didn't flesh it out at all

>>717592192
>make custom low poly objects
itd just be a bunch of dicks

>>717592098
Beautiful Karamari had some good stuff the final level where you start small and eventually roll up the entire solar system is fantastic. It's one of the better Xbox exclusives

>>717593736
good

>>717593754
Schloss Kosmos is probably my favorite level in the entire series

>>717593754
Only reason I have a 360

>>717591645 (OP)
I want the whole earth but not like the first game credits rather as a 100 man BR mode where you have to roll up your opponents as a circle of some type diminishes. Maybe just a whole country.

>>717593736
And? Your point?

>>717593736
Does anyone have the screenshot of the Smash Ultimate stage Nintendo deleted that was just the trans flag but they left up the one that was an upskirt of Ashley from Warioware

>>717593868
VERY cool idea

>>717593754
It's the only Katamari I don't own (never got into the Xbox ecosystem), although I believe most of its levels were in Katamari Forever?

>>717592272
Is the King a fucking e celeb livestreamer?

do i buy the new game on switch 2
or eck

It must be terrifying to live in the katamari universe. Imagine seeing a giant ball rolling towards you

>>717595618
Wait to see if it's 60 fps ig

>>717595657
Doesn't the first game have a story of a little kid seeing all the shit being rolled and nobody believes him

Katamari level inside someone's stomach where you have to roll up food before it dissolves in stomach acid.

Move the status quo forward. I wanna see the Prince finally take the throne of the Cosmos and his son as the new protagonist

>>717596783
kino fanart, though I'd have the Prince evolve into a more stoic figure like his dad (But still be a little nicer)

>>717596783
this looks a little fruity

>>717598376
He's clearly supposed to have a Howl type personality and presence

come on man

Just realized it's gonna be woke just like that t-pose game

>>717598787
The creator has no involvement thank God

>>717598769
>ghiblislop

Crossover when?

>>717598787
woke katamari be like: roll up my pronouns

>>717598787
T pose game?

>>717598939
why did this make me laugh it's so shit lol

>>717598972
"to a T"

The fuck is this

>>717592367
>>717592503
was the vita game good.....?

>>717599051
I was watching this unaware that it had any political agenda, and then I started wondering why everyone was brown

>>717591645 (OP)
how about instead of scaling up and rolling up the entire planet the level is scaled down to the microscopic level where your rolling up atoms and shit and tardigrades

>>717599384
This is the thumbnail of the reveal trailer.

>>717591645 (OP)
The Gingerbread house level expanded into a full candy land.

>>717599475
jesus christ

>>717599475
weebs didn't gatekeep hard enough

>>717594965
Yeah about half of them. Katamari Forever was basically a greatest hits compilation with almost all the levels taken from the first 3 games. I feel like they changed the difficulty in that version. The timers feel shorter and it's a lot harder to get good scores

>>717598787
>half of the cousins are just gender flag colour schemes, because that's the only thing TQ+ seem capable of doing to show 'representation'

Television studio set. There's different sets in the same studio filming different shows. You start off on the cooking set, picking up carrot slices and bread. crumbs. Eventually you make your way to different sets, like a game show with various big prizes, or a sitcom

>>717591645 (OP)
I want a border patrol level
Roll up all the purple people and then drop ball into volcano

>>717591645 (OP)
I went them to change the flipping gameplay. Who cares what level you're doing the same exact thing on? We've done this enough.
How about the ball has different physics, maybe it's squishy and it squishes. How about the ball is a balloon and if you push it off the ledge it flies off and if you push it too hard it pops. I don't know, do fucking something. Anything

>>717600892
fag

>>717591645 (OP)
Get eaten buy a guy then roll up all the little things and food he's eaten then roll up his guts then bones then muscles then skin then you roll around as a big ball as a stretched out round version of the guy

>>717600942

>>717599475
Why are they brown? Isn't this a japanese game?

>>717601385
>he doesn't know

>>717601385
Japanese designer surrounded by white karens for the dev team.

>>717591950
this but unironically, cow/bear levels are the best part of katamari

>>717601543
Does he actually work mainly with foreigners

>>717600975
Already exists
https://flashmuseum.org/covetous/

>>717591645 (OP)
going inside a humans body and collecting diseases

I want a Noby Noby Boy vs. Katamari multiplayer mode. Stretching out to eat more things vs. Rolling up stuff.

>>717601385
All I know is that the Jewish Steven Universe creator did a quirky cutesy guitar song in the game

>>717591645 (OP)
Auschwitz.

>>717602446
Don't be mean to Rebecca Sugar I like her music a lot

>>717591645 (OP)

Very typical Japanese elementary school classroom.

>>717599475
This is San Francisco

>>717593181
Give it a try.

>>717593754
Does this run on xenia?

>>717592192
I've been wanting one for years

>>717603798
From what I've read yeah it should run okay though you will be unable to get the dlc stages. I really only game on Xbox which I guess makes me a minority on this board

>>717598787
Explain to me how a katamari game can be "woke"

>>717599180
Yes actually

>>717604975
>>717599475

>>717604975
If the king was dethroned specifically because of his toxic masculinity that would be pretty woke.

>>717605102
>any depiction of a group of people that isnt ethically homogenous is "woke"
well sorry but a game about an Arby's in Missouri probably wouldnt be that much fun

>>717602542
Never forget

>>717605314
Should have said you were just shitposting

>>717605383
TOO
FUCKING
CUTE

>>717593340
Honestly would be so fucking into rolling up undead and whatever then charge rolling into bosses

>>717605314
My main issue with them is that they're ugly.

Any other chill games that scratch the same itch? Going from rolling up thumbtacks to rolling up entire islands is just so nice

>>717604975
By releasing in 2025 instead of 2004. No other changes needed.

I'm gonna have to agree that a robust level editor would be tons of fun
>>717605617
I've searched high and low and nothing quite hits the katamari trifecta of fun simple gameplay + aesthetics + great music

>>717605617
Not quite sure what you mean, but if you want another Japanese mid-2000s PlayStation game with great music and aesthetics, try Lumines if you haven't.

>>717605617
Ive heard that one indie game Donut County is somewhat similar. You might try this one too if your looking for a non stressful game to play

>>717606890
Oh yeah I played Donut Country, it was pretty good

Why is Noby Noby Boy getting a modern port or remaster

>>717607120
When is* I mean

Another endless snowman level

What were they thinking?

>>717596783
>has his mom's hair
>keeps his expressive demeanor
>stars on his headpiece
holy kino

>>717607472
From the trailer and screenshots, the new game is doing a combo of snowman and make it exact size

YOUUUUUUR
RONERY
RORRING STAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR

>>717602542
SU is disgusting

>>717592098
The remakes have extra input lag and fucked physics

Fuck off moron

>>717609497
How is the physics fucked?

>>717610102
No idea, /v/ just told me so

>>717609414
well sometimes shit people make great stuff, sometimes it's the other way around wadyaknow !

>>717610146
You are a sheep.

>>717610209
Sometimes great stuff makes shit people?

I HATE THE TIME LIMIT
I HATE THE TIME LIMIT
I HATE THE TIME LIMIT
I HATE THE TIME LIMIT
I HATE THE TIME LIMIT
just let me peacefully collect all items on the map

>>717610308
Katamari is not meant to be peaceful or relaxing.

>>717610308
Eternal mode?

>>717600684
this is really good, you could finish the level with a big kaiju prop attacking a building

>>717591645 (OP)
i just want the option for no time limit on every level, so i can comfortably and autistically collect every single thing.

>>717611973
That would be perfect yeah

>>717610424
It's not? I thought it was just a funny little game where you make a big bad

>>717613319
No. Dad is very upset with you if you fail.

BABA BABA
DABA DABADA DA DABABA

Are the katamari remasters good

>>717614581
Yep. Just be aware the games are 4-6 hours long, decide your target price accordingly

>>717614581
Reroll was alright. I would pirate it though.

will this run at 60 fps on switch 2?

>>717591645 (OP)
I want a level inside a Quake-like arena with jump pads and teleporters, maybe it starts there and you eventually break through into other game types. Like the prince is sucked inside a videogame console and goes through multiple games.

I want a co op multiplayer eternal mode to mess around with while chatting with friends

Actual gameplay mechanics tied to the things you roll up i.e. roll up a bunch of balloons and your katamari floats, roll up a bowling balls and it sinks in the water or can knock down obstacles easier.

>>717614661
>4-6 hours long
>28 hours played to 100% Katamari Damacy Reroll
>45 hours played to 100% We Love Katamari Reroll
And that's ignoring 1 million roses and super clears (although I did a bit of chasing after the 100% pickup ones).

>>717616026
I don't care what completionist niggers say, I grew out of that as a teenager

>>717614960
And when you get big enough, you roll up the console the game is played on and the kid playing it and it turns in to a regular katamari level. Would be kino

>>717614851
Why don't you use your crystal ball instead of asking me to use mine?

>>717605501
the last level of we love katamari but instead of the dog its solaire asking you to roll up the sun

>>717616026
completionist nigger here. I got the platinum in KD in 30ish hours. WLK is much easier and can be platinumed in less than 10 hours, but that's because it doesn't require 100% for all the trophies.

>>717614581
theyre good but the originals are better

>>717616026
100% completion in these games is severely autistic and no one should go for it

>>717617051
>>717616129
I meant collection 100%, but yeah if all you care about is achievements/trophies, it's easier. You didn't beat the game if you didn't roll up the Cowbear though.

>>717617548
Certainly the super clears are fucking insane, and 1 million roses takes forever, but rolling everything up isn't that bad.

>remember a very specific "YeeeAH~!" euphoric scream when picking up a human in We Love Katamari in 2004
>play reroll
>never hear the scream again
Hate those fake memories

>>717617836
All the sound effects in We Love Katamari reroll are all pitched down for some reason. All of them

>>717617810
Oh I did. I got 100% in both games. I just also got the platinum trophies

>>717617431
Why?
Besides the katamari in reroll not getting replaced by a junk ball and messing with the illusion

For me?

>>717619225
well for one i grew up playing the originals and we love katamari is still my favorite game ever so theres definitely nostalgia involved but i personally didnt like how oversaturated the remasters look
of course thats purely subjective and im sure most people dont really care since it still has the same art direction the series is known for and it plays almost identical so i like the remasters just not as much as the originals
my biggest issue was the fucked up audio in we love katamari reroll some sounds are completely different like walking around in the meadow

>>717613360
Why is he such a dick? Breaking all the stars, saying it's your problem, and then giving you an arbitrary time limit that he just has the patience for. He's an immortal God, why can he only wait for 5 minutes?

>>717621479
Katamari is all about forgiving your abusive dad and bringing everyone together

>>717621120
>didnt like how oversaturated the remasters look
I think it's not in Damacy Reroll, but I think We Love Reroll actually has a classic lighting toggle that uses the older colors if you haven't checked it out, could help out with that gripe maybe?

>>717622696
oh yeah i forgot ill try it out right now and see how it looks

>>717622696
>>717622823
ok yeah nevermind this looks great lmao

>>717621120
That's the opposite of saturation

>>717623165
The old font was cuter, I dunno why they nixed it.

>>717621479
Being royalty aint easy.

I still have only played the first katamari

>>717621479
He has his own daddy issues to deal with

Are you guys rolling with any of these new cousins? I like the brush guy.

>>717627831
>rolling with anyone but Prince

>>717591645 (OP)
needs more mechanics
the first 2 games were already pretty shallow but then they just kept making them over and over

>>717629524
Don't conflate simplicity with shallowness.

>>717627831
the horse one is cute

>>717630194
i mean its fine that the first 2 games arent that deep but my point is the formula they ended up using to churn out these games from then on is not good enough to warrant playing them if you already have played 1 and 2

>>717591950
Neigh!

>>717627831
I like the Egypt-themed one

>>717628838
kufumari

I like what they're doing with the time travel theme for Once Upon, I'd like to see a space station with aliens and such

>>717610102
They recreated the entire game from scratch in Unity and basically just approximated the physics until they felt similar

>>717631762
Only you have the Cheops to pull that joke off.

>>717591645 (OP)
I liked this game as a kid but playing it as an adult I can see it's overrated. Literally a walking sim with no challenge
