@Hooligantuan: THANK YOU.

And I suppose I should use names from now on instead of numbers because they change. My comments were directed at BudDudandSlash and Oisterboy.

I have to say, I’ve been on the fence about getting a Vita largely due to Katamari being a launch title. However, it’s obvious from this video that the new creative direction has gone completely downhill. Where are the dancing pandas and psychedelic mushroom-induced landscapes perfect for insane dancing? I see none of this, but rather what seems like a terribly American attempt at understanding Japanese ideas and design. The family at the end reminds me of something I would see on the street for 5 bucks at a downtown LA art show. Nothing charming about that at all.

ok I’m not one to criticize unique projects just cause they are different from our perceived conventions. In fact usually I appreciate art that defies said conventions, but that has to happen naturally, and NEVER for the sake of being different, otherwise it would be a dumb move, kind of like those ppl who listen to underground music, “just cause it’s not popular”… Now I don’t know if they are doing this cause they want to be different or whatever, but i highly suggest them they lay off the shrooms or whatever recreational drugs they’re doing and I don’t mean that as a joke, just for the sake of their fans who probably will want sequels in the future.

There’s funny “haha weird” and then there’s just “creepy weird.” This video borders the latter.

@oisterboy I throw the package my food comes in in the garbage I have to deal with a games cut-scenes every time I play it. I also was very amused with the old Katamari games cut-scenes and they made me wonder what was going to happen next even though I had no idea what exactly was happening in the first place… The fact that these cut scenes would make me prefer to never beat a level so i didn’t have to see the next one is like taking a step back as a game/franchise. You go from game I want to play play play and i get bonus amusing cut-scenes to a game I’ve already played and am trying to avoid the cut-scenes.

Legit argument unlike yours about food wrappers. Though if my food came wrapped in something with those characters drawn on it I would most likely not buy it to further your stupid comment.

okay so I’ve always loved the katamari series but I gotta agree…that video was just plain weird and not in the so weird it’s funny way just desturbingly weird.

but anyways I have on major question for you guys that determines whether or not I buy this or a vita for it for that matter.

anyways sony made some kind of announcement about some vita games I think it was being able to be cross-compatible with the ps3? and if it’s true are you guys planning on doing this? because in all honesty I’m kinda getting sick of having to buy every game system in the whole wide world just to play katamari games :/
and if you were to do this it’d save me 250 bucks which is almost as much as my rent I’d be much obliged if you made it cross compatible so I could just play it on ps3 (via downloadable) :)

however if sony didn’t make that announcement (though I’m fairly sure they did…(something about monster hunter 3 was doing it) then forget all this and I’m buying a vita begrudgingly

Worried about the amount of content to be honest. Lately Namco Bandai has been gimping PSVita titles in that area it seems, and the ones that look to be worthwhile probably won’t hit NA shores. Tales of Innocence R… I hope Ridge Racer, either undergoes complete makeover with a game’s worth of content, instead of a demos worth, otherwise I hope it tanks hardcore.

@25: You’re absolutely right. Nobody should have an opinion that doesn’t match yours.

@27: I realize some people are overreacting to one cutscene, but from what I understand the opening is just the tip of the iceberg. And that’s just the “story” we’re talking about. The real issue is charging full price for what is, at best, half a game. Far less content than any previous katamari game for no other reasons than sheer laziness, apathy, and greed. “Hey, they’ll buy it anyway. LOL!” This game will most likely turn people who felt ripped off by Katamari Forever into fans of it by comparison. Yippee.
