I hope we eventually get all the katamari games on steam

[Simpson]

i only grew up with nintendo consoles and pc, so i never got to play the originals.

[lieutenantkirtar]

That would be great, especially if they continue to add content to the games like they are doing with this one.

[Dr. Raven]

Not really a necessary thing imo cuz the series after this game failed to evolve meaningfully. Beautiful Katamari was just a rehash with better graphics/hardware under the hood, so even if it never came I wouldn't be too disappointed. And games after that one were even worse to the point where I played them for a couple hours before getting bored. And I'm a huuuuge Katamari fan.

The creator and heart and soul of Katamari, Keita Takahashi, only worked on two of them. Katamari Damacy and We <3 Katamari. So you'll be pretty complete after this remaster. Everything else after was pretty much just a cash-in attempt from Namco.

[Amins]

Ironically, the series became the literal manifestation of what Keita Takahashi was originally commentating on with Katamari Damacy. Making more of the same simply for the sake of having more. He never even wanted to make a sequel in the first place, and it got, what, four? And now two remakes.

Not that I personally have a problem with it. I love the series. It's just amusing how things work out...

[Safe Da Erf]

I'd buy that

Katamari Tribute was amazing but it's because it's a greatest hits type of game. I wouldn't mind if that was rereleased. The Korea-only Katamari online would be interesting to bring to a much wider audience. . .

[Everybody do the flop]

Maybe the 3rd game too, but skip the rest.

Why, why bother when both Katamari Reroll and it's sequel are essentially out. About as pointless as you can get.


A greatest hits game only value is if you don't have the original to play ie you sold it or don't wanna boot up an old ps2 just to play. Or the other value is updated graphics. Neither of which can be of value here.

Yes Katamari Forever may have been a tribute game, but it still has it's own original levels as well, it's not entirely pointless for them to remaster it. Or if anything they could probably make the Forever-Exclusive levels part of a possible REROLL of Beautiful Katamari, if this one does well.

It's not pointless when Forever added significant new features like the jump ability and Katamari Drive. Then the fact that the levels taken from the first game control a lot better thanks to the improved physics where it's less janky. Forever has its place in the series. It's the largest game in the franchise with the most content.

Most content doesn't mean all of it is actually good. The new features especially didn't make sense with old level designs and felt rather lazily slapped together.

i've only played the original katamari and we love, and we love is my favorite in the series, the ps2 was the last console i owned so i didnt get to play the other games

[Forevermuffins]

Me & My Katamari was pretty tight, the rest were ok from what I remember playing

[BearPajamaGod!]

I liked Katamari Forever and would be down for that.
