Another Katamari is Dead topic

For years, I've seen Katamari as something weird and cool. I got a copy of TMK for my birthday, and I loved it! I got KF shortly thereafter, stumbled on these forums, and couldn't say no. I jumped in, only to find metaphorically shallow water. Was my arrival on time for an exodus? The boards themselves are cool, but there is not nearly enough activity as I expected.

Yeah.

There really is not much we can do as far as activity around here as I've mentioned numerous time. New Game = Lots to talk about.

Just make new topics, get convos going, post in the non-katamari sections, that's all really anyone can do.

I've been hearing rumblings from the cosmos that Ichigo wants to make her own club on here but who knows what will happen.

I don't see a new game coming out for the next 2 years.

I would love to see another game....as long as it's multi console. It's about damn time they do it that way.

I honestly don't see another new game coming ever. *praystothegodsofreversepsychology*

... Okay.

Which is why we shouldn't have a gloomy and pessimistic approach here, is not like this is dead forum or anything. I'm happy to see that at least there's a admin and a bunch of people who still care for Katamari, and are willing to keep this place on the air, as long as we could rejoice and relax in a place such as this.

And even if we don't really see a lot of people who are affected by Katamari, at least this place can affects the people who visit it, I mean look at me, do you know how much space I am (and still do) occupying in my computer with the amount of things I drew? If one thing was going to be the kicker, if one thing was going to make me expose myself to the world which a little thing such as drawings in a computer, I'm glad to say that this site was that thing, that impulse.

So in the end, we recognize that the franchise isn't really popular nowadays, we accept that fact, yet we are honest with ourselves and we don't allow that little factor to cloud ourselves, as we are people that simply want to express their love and care for this, and this place allows us to do so, with full force, without making us hold back, accepting ourselves for what we are, and accepting each other and everyone that passes through here, showing that this place isn't just for Katamari, this place is for fun and for relaxation, despite the grim-filled backgrounds that we all carry in our backs as human beings, as people that are affected by the world, and that affect the world, for good and for bad. To cooperate with one another, regardless of possitions and oppositions with the sole objective of bringing simplistic, yet important, good intentions into the hearts of anyone that is willing to accept them.

Even if that's what pretty much Katamari Damacy is all about.

After all, we are all bright shining starts.

Yeah, I know whatcha mean. a few years ago, back when I was under Clump'dUp, it was pretty active. But when I come back, It's gotten all dodo in here. I mean, as long as there are still people here, we can still have a good time, be creative, speak of katamari and whatnot, and that's all that really matters here! :lol

This topic of conversation is an endless circle. I mean, it's never gonna be super active without a new game. The end result is always gonna be the same. This place is what you make it. You can either lament the lack of new game or make topics and start new discussions and make suggestions about what we can do to make it more active. :)

Erm.... This was a reply to "Dusk of the Katamari?" How did this turn into an independent topic? Was this some of your "Admin Magic," Vix? I would like to see more cousin drama over at Cousin Corner. (see Ichigo board) TMK would've sold better if AR features were applied, using more of the Vita's features. Now that I think about it, most of my posts were done on my Vita, including this one. Just as a curiosity, was this reposted to make me seem like a moron? Please excuse my off topic rambling.

TMK would have sold better if it wasn't on the Vita. :P

And no, not trying to make you seem like a moron. I split the new posts from the old topic. You'll get more replies with a new topic rather than bumping up an old one (then the replies will only be you bumped up an old topic, lol).

True, the Vita isn't doing very well, since there aren't many games on it, and the price point is quite demanding. I think there aren't many games on the Vita, because development costs would do more harm than good. Minor improvements on one game wouldn't do much for sales. Oh, and thanks, Vix, for clearing up the thing with the re-posting. If TMK wasn't on the Vita, how would the TM join the K? The title would still probably suck, knowing that Namco called it "Touch My Katamari" on purpose.

Well, it would be TMK then I guess. If it was on the wii, maybe it would be called Wii Love Katamari. :lol :no Or Mii's Play Katamari or Katamari on the Mii or....gonna stop now. :lol

That seems like how Namco found the titles for most of the Katamari games.
Namco guy A: We have five minutes to find a Katamari title for the new consoles!
Namco guy B: Erm, how about Memorable Katamari?
Namco guy A: Great idea! I'll ring up the ad department now!

Sounds like what they would call their next KD sequels, not like that is a good idea on their part. I chose Memorable Katamari to poke fun at Beautiful Katamari and it's name.

I don;t think the Vita is really in that big of a pickle, it;s true that it's no DS / 3DS, but really what is? most people i know who have one enjoy theirs (now granted a lot of those people bought i exclusively for Persona 4 Golden and then ended up liking the system anyways, but that's not the point)

i think we may actually see an influx of TMK players once the next console Gen comes into full swing, Sony is really pushing the Vita hard in conjunction with the PS4, going so far as to give out free developer's tools to smaller studios and such. also theres some rumbling about every single PS4 console game that dosn't have some sort of peripheral requirement being compatible with cross-play, so i think Vita sales will indeed pick up, and perhaps at that time we will get some new katamari players ^_^

also, as stated many times in this and many other topics, there's always the hope for a new game ^_^

Sony's GamesCon presser announced a Vita price drop, that *might* help.
