Eurogamer.net writes that, according to Namco, Katamari Damacy Tribute, the upcoming PS3, 1080p Katamari game, is “in good hands.” Those hands, however, do not belong to series creator, Keita Takahashi. So while we all may be excited about the prospects of a new Katamari, the track record for these games without Takahashi isn’t so great.
Still, it’s not like Takahashi made the games himself, so some of those hands may be able to make this version worthwhile. More as I hear about it.
Another interesting tidbit from Eurogamer.net:
Speaking at GDC last week, Takahashi said that the original Katamari Damacy was a comment on consumerism, and that his current game, the downloadable Noby Noby Boy, was deliberately designed without objectives and with little intention of making money.
"People who are high up were very very angry with me, and sometimes if I look at them they will really glare at me," he said."
Good times.
