Quantcast



If there is one thing that can be said about the Katamari games it is that they are relentlessly normal. They're fantastically amazing games that make total sense and are not strange in any way. Even the advertising for the games is some of the most normal advertising we've ever seen. I mean, the monkey-and-rooster-hand-puppet ad is so normal it's practically a cliche by this point and that's what they went with for the newest trailer for Katamari Forever. They don't even try to break the mold and have the monkey and rooster talk about the actual game, instead going the normal route and having them discuss food.

No there is absolutely nothing at all strange about the below trailer, and if you've read our preview on the game you know that the upcoming Playstation 3 exclusive is possibly the most normal of all the Katamari games. It's HD. It doesn't get much more normal than that. 

OK, I'm having problems stretching this joke any further, just hit the jump and watch the trailer already.

This game still doesn't take itself too seriously, and I love that.

Pfffft, I'm so sick of all this casual crap ruining gaming. Rolling a ball?! I'm about ready to quit gaming altogether.

I really dont know if you're being sarcastic. If you aren't, I might have to find you and strike you with a rather large blunt object

Anyways, I also played the demo. No idea what Robo King of the Cosomos was saying, but I bet he was insulting me and telling me that I suck.

I think what makes Katamari so special is that it's the video game equivalent of DMT.

Just Ask Joe Rogan

The Japanese demo is pretty fun, actually. Any idea how much it's going to be when it comes out?

Gimic300 needs to actually play one of these games. They are silly, fun, and downright addicting. Plus the quirkiness makes up for the fact they haven't changed the game over the past six years.

What a novel approach! Trailers that has nothing to do with the actual game itself!

@Chronic: Game content has to be purchased as dlc.
