    Just the original? Ever so slightly disappointed, but I'll take it. For once I can actually agree that it seems like a good fit for the Switch. Time to dust mine off!

    i think most people just wanted it to be an uprezzed version of the game and not for bamco to change anything about it

    who says this won't be 1080p?

    lol @ all these people freaking out over 40$

    I was saying that at least Katamari Forever is 1080p on PS3, so it's not in dire need of a remaster, though I'd like one eventually. I wasn't speaking about this particular remaster of the first title.

    Uprezzing PS2 graphics to 1080p or 4k doesn't work too well unless you upres the source art. I think most of us wanted clean graphics at a high resolution that can last for a while.

    Because the creator, Keita Takahashi, was only involved with the first two games. Bamco did the rest on their own after Takahashi left.

    the creator, keita takahashi left after the second game and wasn't involved with any of the other games. that's why the dip in quality happened.

    i guess i love the game's original style too much, cuz i don't want bamco to fuck with it in any way. i said it in the thread about the trademark (that lead to this) too, if there's a remaster, i hope it's just higher resolution and nothing else changes.

    I hope the PC version runs at arbitrary FPS.
     
  16. Yeah. I mean, that shoe was never on the other foot with all the console games bar Beautiful Katamari?

    I guess if you want it you’ll need a switch or PC. You probably have one or the either.

    Yeah, but tbh the assets should have stayed the same anyway. Katamari low poly models and unfiltered textures are so iconic changing them would have been sacrilegious.

    Now though, a little AO and slight changes to lighting wouldnt have hurt.

    Would be awesome if they use Steam Input for this, so both trackpads could be used to roll with mouse style accuracy. Doubt it though...

    This isnt common in this day and age. Everyone expect every third party game on every platform but its okay if Big N moneyhats the shit out of the industry.

    A shame they didn't use Katamari Forever. For me it's the best game in the series with the best track:



    Still love the singleplayer of the first game because of the nonsense scenes of the family. Day 1

    nintendo moneyhats shit? they do it way less than the other two. and if they did money hat this, they wouldn't have wanted it to be released on smash release day. this weird decision is on bamco.
    people are getting way too salty over this, and are gonna feel stupid when it does come on their preferred system as well.
     
  27. Nah. Your mistake is assuming that Namco sat down with Nintendo and had a small envelope pushed over to them on the basis of exclusivity just to piss off a little group of people who identify as “Sony fans”

    Just let it go. You’ve got a PC or a Switch so you’re set already.

    The Katamari games are extremely stylized with deliberately angular and mostly flat-shaded objects, it's aged better than most games from that era.

    I wouldn't necessarily advocate for changing the models. But I think the textures need cleaning up for HD. Not changing the style, but higher resolution so there's no blurriness from upscaling.

    Also, Keita does seem interested in touching stuff up for a Katamari HD remaster...
