I hope you meant please DON'T
Yeah - I think the sole real advantage of Beautiful Katamari/Katamari Forever over the Takahashi games is that (IIRC) they worked out full level streaming so the game didn't need to pause and reload the entire level when you reach certain sizes. A remake of the first two games (with their soundtracks and writing) in that engine would be the tits.The first two games are not only two of my favorite games but also the only two games that I can name of the top of my head that I consider completely perfect. I fully up resed direct and complete remake of just them is all I really want. Nothing else really added, keep the same story, voices, everything. Not just a "greatest hits" of the levels like Forever sorta was, it is the complete package of those first two games that I want.
After that I don't care. Can add in the other later games as well, as they weren't terrible, just were not to me what the first two games were.
If they do a compilation of previous games in glorious 4k, I'm totally on board.
Even though Beautiful Katamari has no loading screens it's still an inferior game to the first two. The level design in general is worse and it's a much shorter game overall, because Namco released it incomplete so they could sale a big chunk of levels as day 1 DLC.Yeah - I think the sole real advantage of Beautiful Katamari/Katamari Forever over the Takahashi games is that (IIRC) they worked out full level streaming so the game didn't need to pause and reload the entire level when you reach certain sizes.

Wasn't Katamari Forever on the PS3 basically a greatest hits collection of all the best levels from several games in the series?
I think I'd rather have a collection of full games rather than something like KD Forever because there are some levels I liked that weren't included in Forever.
I agree with all of this. A new Katamari is up there on my dream game list with Jet Set Radio 3, Mega Man Legends 3 and a 3rd Hotel Dusk game.This needs to happen and it needs to be a console game and it needs to be on all three of the consoles. That was always a huge problem with the series, almost every game jumping to another platform. Release it on all and everyone will be happy.
I'm trying not to get hyped, but I really want a new katamari. I have for years now. I always have a slim hope at e3 each year.
Even if it's just a remaster of every game, I'd be ok with that. At this point, that would be fine with me.
But for the love of god, it better not be another crappy mobile game.
You can pretty easily buy it on PSN for PS3 with a USA account. That's how I played it.Omg.
Just a reminder that the first Katamari game has never been released in Europe. I would love to play it.

Seconded. Give me the first game with better IQ and 60 FPS (resolution can be dynamic for all I care) and Namco gots my $$$Zero interest if it turns out to be mobile and/or loaded with MTX.
"encore" sounds even more like it's probably a remaster!
bless up nerds, i think it's coming
