It's coming out today? Are you ready to play the sequel to We <3 Katamari? Did you pay the extra 20 to get the series soundtrack?

why are we pretending Katamari Forever doesn't exist? It's kino
not as good as love, but still this feels spiteful

Getting the base version, as much as I love the music I'm not paying that much more for them

Very excited though

I don't know if it's coming out today
>Are you ready to play the sequel to We <3 Katamari?
Maybe if feel like it, but I thought they made lots of katamari games after that one
>Did you pay the extra 20 to get the series soundtrack?
No, not interested in soundtracks

A lot of reviews said the OST was just as good as previous games so I'm fine having a new one. They're probably the easiest thing to mod regardless

Damacy, We Love and Forever are the trifecta, they really should rerelease that one, they don't need to change the visuals or anything, it was already a very pretty and colorful game.

Katamari Forever is literally a shameless rehash.

Katamari Forever is just Damacy+<3 with some extra levels.

No because the levels are actually new, retard. Forever only had 3 new levels while the other 30 something were just pulled from the other games.

No? They make a point to say it's all new content unlike Forever which reuses most of them from the first two games but with a new story. This may as well be the real Katamari 3. I think there was a Vita game or something at some point but never played it though.

I thought Forever was basically a port of Beautiful Katamari with some throwback levels added in.

The new stage where you roll so big you roll off the planet into space was the best thing about it

Of course there is a Vita port, it's Touch my Katamari, it was the last original game that kind of killed the series for a while because it was very mediocre and short, the game had incredibly empty stages even though the psp game managed to have much more stuff on screen.

it was specifically for Forever because the goal was to roll big enough to wake up the King

You do it in Beautiful Katamari too, and that game came out before Forever.

If it's got "candy" to collect like TMK, I'm not buying it.

There are a few items you can roll up and use during levels like power ups (pause time, go fast, pull in more stuff) and then there's a few levels that utilize the shitty multiplayer mode where you play against AI and get X to take it to Y. Kind of like Pikmin. Not too bad.

I tried playing the co-op in Switch remake of We <3 Katamari and it was awful (2 people controlling one Katamari, not fun).

The original developer isn't involved and most of the original team are gone too, so it won't be as good as the original 2.

It's not out yet, so idk.
But the original devs aren't involved in any way, shape, or form, so it's likely gonna be souless, like Touch My Katamari was.

Yeah it's a brand new game. Shame none of the original devs are involved anymore, they made a few good Katamari games without the creator, because they still had the rest of the team together. But now...

What new Katamari games? The last real game was Touch My, which was 14 years ago, besides Rolling Live (which I presume no one has played for being an Apple Arcade exclusive, but I think it has the same issue of Touch My, where you're kind of made to grind the game to unlock shit in a freemium way). We'll have to see with OUAK, but it seems like it might be at least as good as Forever/Beautiful and better than Me & My, while not having the freemium shit that dragged down Touch My.

Because they barely even bothered to make new levels to the game. That's all Katamari needs, a bunch of levels with a bunch of new songs, that's it. Frankly I'm not sure it even needs that, the PS2 games are enough for me. How much Katamari do you really need.

I dont think Monkeycraft (Now Rengame) made Touch My Katamari unless they branched off from an internal Bamco studio
They did handle the remakes of 1 and We Love though

For how bizarre the premise of the original game is, to me the two first games feel very grounded. All the environments are typical Japanese locations with typical Japanese objects. The later games get more exotic and fantastical, which I think makes them lose a bit of that realistic streak.

??? Beautiful Katamari is so far the peak of the series. especially if you count it with the dlc levels.
