very katamari. such damacy.
It's shit
>>724209823rolling a ball into a bigger ball is okay. Making a hole into a bigger hole is the real kino for me.
>>724210353kill yourself brownoid
>>724210353>NOOOOOOOOO IF YOUR NICHE PS2 GAME SEQUEL DOESN'T DO FORTNITE NUMBERS IT'S LE FLOOOOOOOOOP
>>724209823>can't move to the next level until I get all crowns, all cousins, and an S rank
>>724210741>he doesn't full clear and ace a level before moving to the next oneHow can you call yourself a gamer?But seriously, I do this and it annoys me how the game pulls you to a new era right after showing you new levels you unlocked.
I'm kinda fascinated that Keita Takahashi has not acknowledged the existence of this game even a single time since its announcement.
>>724211227oh noanyway
>>724211112>the game pulls you to a new era right after showing you new levels you unlockedThis shit has been driving me crazy
>>724211227Dude's a goober, Annapurna enables his mediocrity but I'll always get excited when he announces a new project
>>724210741I'm going for a blind run to the end as The Prince as then I'm going to go back for completion for with all the cousins.
>>724211227I mean why would he? It's painful.After bamco merged he quit game dev and said kids should play less games and play outside instead. He became a playground engineer......who was never able to build anything due to regulation conflicts. He moved to vancouver, then los angeles, and got back into gamedev. he made a creepy boring nick jr ass walking simulator of a game with rebecca sugar starring an agender MC that is meant to teach you how special disabled people are. The trailer of the game had the opening segment featuring nothing but tan and black people (they added a few light tans in the final release). He got sucked up into the zeitgeist of being a Good Person (tm) but everything he is as a developer is the guy who made katamari. That's what they introduce him as on npr, because you sure as hell don't know him from fucking wattam.Meanwhile his 20 year old legacy got a revival and only oldheads like me know his name and that he was ever involved. Katamari is better off after the divorce than he is. It sucks.
>>724212547lmao what a gay
>>724210353only brown people care about sales
>metal gear>ninja gaiden>katamaribros... what year is it
>>724212797>kirby air ride>metroid prime>fucking croc
>>724209823would you katamari?
you know the DOUN
>>724212921Touch my katamari
Did you know there was a katamari damacy mobile game released just this year and it's a real video game that plays like the console entries?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XToxcg7L3uII like it.
>>724210353Once upon a katamari is a successOnirism is a successCry about it
>>724213154I did and I was very sad that it was an apple arcade game, but then I saw that they had filed copyright for once upon a katamari around the same time and I've been looking forward to it ever since
>>724210353The most expensive part of a new game is probably just the music since they have been using the same assets and basic mechanics for like 15 years.They probably already made their money back.
>>724213208This is my favorite song in the game so far
>>724211227Why would he care? He didn't even want the second game to be made.He sucks when he gets to be an unfettered ideas guy anyway, all his post-Katamari games suck ass and people over exaggerate what difference he made as a director. All Katamari games that got made without him are good games and people only pretend to be outraged about the whole deal.
>no switch 2 version>switch version runs at 30FPS>katamari isn't the kind of game i like to play at my PCFucking gay, 100% would have bought this at full price.
>>724214565Isn't there? Or do you mean you want a Switch 2 version specifically for better FPS?
>>724210353Why play on steam when it's better played from my couch on the switch
>>724214942No, there's only the Switch 1 version.Because of that, the Switch 2's power is going completely underutilized and it could quite easily run the game at 60FPS if they were to have a Switch 2 version.It also becomes a problem when max res on Switch 1 handheld is 720p, but the Switch 2 screen is 1080p meaning it looks kinda shoddy on the Switch 2 screen as well.
It's the first post-takahashi katamari game that isn't severely hamstrung by shit controls, shit DLC practices, shit gimmicks or overreliance on content ported from the first two. I don't know why they took 20 years to do this but better late than never.>>724214049And yet every Katamari game after his departure sucked ass, so clearly he was doing something right.

>>724212547I'm not saying you are wrong about him, but Katamari hasn't really been better off since he's gone. Beautiful Katamari was very good, I give it that, but only because it was basically the first game without technical constraints allowing them to make fucking huge levels with no loading. But everything after that was just a rehash.Even this new game is just We Love Katamari with different levels, all of its faults, and somehow they even made the controls screwy.
>>724215446elaborate on the controls? i chalked it down to a skill issue but i couldn't help but notice my movement felt off
>they brought back the cowbear levelWHYWHY DOES THIS FUCKER KEEP COMING BACK
>>724210353this is for you
>>724215664i assume they just give you the time freeze power up to trivialize it
>>724215664because they want you to rage and they think it's funny
>>724211227After seeing the trailer for pozzed brown garbage that is To a T, I haven't acknowledged his existence, either.
>>724214565I'm going to buy it for Switch anyway and cross my fingers that they'll release a Switch 2 update at some point. I don't think there's any reason that it couldn't run at 4K 60FPS if it was using the full power of the newer hardware
>>724212797>>724212895Dont gaf about anytbing but air riders and katamari, rest is slop
the idoly ost grew on me, but my favorite song is the french one https://youtu.be/XhoqSjRIHm4?si=l6w7bXBUm3cRCNAn
>>724215446i feel good that im not seeing the issues with the controls as much as you are, some times i notice that i get a really big speed boost at the beggining of levels but thats it really.
>>724215513It's like half a dozen small problems. Sometimes the ball just starts tugging itself randomly, like it doesn't roll smoothly. It rolls normal speed for 2 seconds then twice as fast for 1 second and keeps repeating this. It happens mostly on the later levels, and usually before a new part of the level loads.The ball even physically rolls faster than it moves on the ground, as if it the game knew there was a speed cap and struggled to keep up it intact.Early levels also let you move way too fast to the point that the game is uncontrollable. Later levels the rolling is so slow, you have to dash constantly, you can only move at a decent pace with the rocket powerup.The dash barely dashes you forward either, in the old games it allowed you to exceed your speed cap and fly the fuck off, here it just puts you at max speed. I suppose that was necessary to balance the fact that you can 1-button-dash now, but it just means you have to use it nonstop.Worse, the hitboxes are fucked to the point that some levels are nearly impossible to navigate. On Pharaoh's Requests you can't go up buildings because the game thinks you are hitting the wall despite not even touching the walls or being big enough to not fit through them. You can also get stuck on fucking nothing on every level. Try getting the first magnet inside the clamshell on As Large As Possible 5, half the time you fall through behind the clamshell and get stuck between the clam and the fences.And I haven't even tried the Cowbear level yet. After how stupid the pharaoh level was, I'm not even going to bother with Cowbear until I unlocked everything else.
>fucking cowbear againIncredibly unfun
>>724209823Sill have a bunch of stuff to finish in We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie.Does the new game add enougfh stuff/QoL to stay fresh?
>>724217653>Does the new game add enougfh stuff/QoL to stay fresh?it has 3-4 new level concepts and adds powerups (there's only three, and always at fixed locations, so they just add more puzzle elements than more fun). There's a new 3d overworld.The levels are all new, but all level goals are just recycled from We Love Katamari. You have cowbear, you have a eat-a-lot level, you have a racing level, a money level where you roll for value, not size, and so on.Worst part is that they made the loading transitions more annoying (the timer resumes while the camera pans back, so you have to play blindly for a few seconds).
>San Fransisco Katamari Boys Choir
>>724209823Is the music as good as Damacy?
>>724218602No game has music as good as Damacy.It's better than We Love Katamari at least, but the new hip hop theme song is garbage.
>Lots of Roses S rankWhy'd they make it so hard
just finished the game. pretty good
>>724218602>Is the music as good as Damacy?It's good but no, of course not.
>Have to repast stages to get 2nd and 3rd cousins to spawnso gay
I still have only played damacyshould i play we love first or this
>>724221795We Love Katamari.
