Welcome home Katamari.

lol, Shin

I was going to buy the PS2 Katamari, but a HD remake sounds much better. Now we wait.

Agarest Senki Zero (PS3) and lots of other PSP games announced too. FFXIII confirmed for 2009 Japanese release according to Nomura interview.

I'd like to read the story/interview if you have a link handy.

Thanks!

Apparently there's really no other game announcements other than for Sony systems in this week's Famitsu. The way this month has been going, it really sounds like Sony's new focus on Japan is starting to pay off (Star Ocean 4 bombing probably didn't hurt much either).

Didn't the Katamari on the other console fail horribly too?

Katamari on other console?

I believe this is referring to Beautiful Katamari, which tanked largely because it shipped incomplete and charged for DLC to make the game even remotely playable like it should have been.

As for Katamari Damacy Tribute, DO WANT.

Katamari Damacy in 1080p! Imagine if the game had graphics that looked real. People runing for their life as a giant ball rolls down the street picking up everything in its path. I loved Katamari Damacy, We Love Katamari, and Beautiful Katamari. Hopefully it will offer Sixaxis support

EvanX · 03-25-2009, 02:19 PM

Yes!!!! This is going to be awesome!!!!

Gamma_Winstead · 03-25-2009, 02:24 PM

Day one for me!

master_8ball · 03-25-2009, 02:25 PM

This is great news! Loved the ones on PS2... Can't wait for this, such a fun and entertaining game....

jkwest · 03-25-2009, 02:48 PM

I can't believe it!!! Finally!!!

Musashi · 03-25-2009, 04:00 PM

We're stealing franchises, or in this case stealing them back.

Joe Cain · 03-25-2009, 04:06 PM

Can't arrive soon enough. The PS2 Katamaris are probably my favorite just-plain-fun games of all time.

Katamari Damacy Set for PS3
The prince returns, this time in full 1080p!

US, March 25, 2009 - PlayStation 3 owners who felt a little left out when Katamari Damacy came exclusively to Xbox 360 last year at long last have the bragging rights all to themselves. The latest Famitsu has first details on Katamari Damacy Tribute, an all new PlayStation 3 entry in the series.

Tribute retains the basic Katamari Damacy formula, but appears to up the scale of everything. You'll find items in far greater numbers sitting around waiting to be picked up and added to your growing katamari clump. The game features over 30 stage goals -- the highest number in series history.

Some of the biggest changes are in the presentation. The game supports full 1080p -- as in 1920x1080.

In addition, the visual design has changed. Or, rather, it can be changed. You can now choose your own visual style, selecting from a variety of styles like "comic touch," "new touch," and "wood touch." The game's rendering engine changes accordingly. Those who like the original style can play the old fashioned way too.

Other new elements include a new monochrome stage, where everything except for your katamari is monochrome, and an all new mode of play that's still being kept under wraps. The game will also feature some form of PlayStation Network support. Famitsu lists the title as supporting two players, so we're hoping for some form of online play.

Katamari Damacy Tribute will hit Japanese retail some time this year. The game is only 40% done, but Famitsu's online counterpart Famitsu.com will apparently have first video footage on Friday.

jkwest · 03-25-2009, 05:38 PM

I just bought Rolling with Katamari on my phone in celebration of this!!!
