Quantcast



Remember that incredible trailer for Katamari Forever that had us all goggling at our computers with it's epic weirdness? Luckily, the game is looking good for its US release later this year and I got to spend some time with it today. I came away with three new trailers to share with you, three of which are after the jump -- enjoy!

While I don't have a ton of new info to share with you since Dyson's preview of the game (see link above), I can tell you that this is the prettiest we've ever seen a Katamari game look. The filters you can use allow you to play these gorgeous levels in any way you like. Namco Bandai told me that Katamari Forever contains some of the best levels from each of the Katamari levels, so the game is like a best of collection with a makeover.

For some, that is going to be the last thing they want, but for a Katamari addict like me, Namco could offer me a cell phone Katamari with four minutes of gameplay of the King of Cosmos playing dress up and I'd probably buy it. Katamari Forever offers a lot more than that, so I'll happily pick it up.

Looks like more of the same, which isn't really a bad thing. I'm loving the music as always.

After seeing the latest HAWP, I can't watch this without getting depressed.












Oh, who am I kidding? This is awesome.

@You Guys,

I think I remember them saying that the levels are supposed to be 50/50 as in remakes/new levels.

Also, apparently you can now jump in the game, there's new music and remixed tracks of the most popular Katamari songs and tweaks to all the old levels.


Personally, I'd buy it if it was ALL a remake but I'm in day one on this sucker for sure now.

This looks so awesome. The filters are just brilliant for a game like this and Katamari in HD will be truly amazing.
