I would be kind of pissed if someone just came along and rolled me or my car up in to a giant ball of random junk and made me into a moon or a constellation....is this legal in Japan?
RadioactiveTurtle - Baconated I hate that to! PS2 games were designed to fit the TVs of that time (4:3 box TV), so therefore putting in 16:9 warps and stretches the resolution, making everything fatter. Its so annoying cause almost everyone does it when putting PS2 gameplay up of things.
I ve made up some random and crazy theory that every time you get rolled up by a katamari (or a similar entity with a similar "pick-up-to-grow" ability, like grey goo from the tasty planet series (who i personally think he is WAY more dangerous than a katamari)) you get reincarnated in a different timeline or alternate universe
@@Poulain4drum A weeb is a derisive term for a non-Japanese person who is so obsessed with Japanese culture that they wish they were actually Japanese.
LOL, the Japanese are the masters of making surreal and disturbing things. And 13:39, look, it's a _bosozoku_ car in the background (or more properly, _shakotan_, I think it's called). See the enormous extended exhaust pipes sticking up behind it? Characteristic of _shakotan_.
There is a manga based on Bosozoku called Shakotan Boogie, created by Michiharu Kusonoki. Michiharu Kusonoki is also known for his other street racing manga, Wangan Midnight One of the co-developing companies for Katamari games, Genki even made racing games based on Wangan Midnight
@@T0XICxL3G3ND No, it wasn't. It was released in the US about a year after it came out in Japan and it was quite a sleeper hit here in the states. Of course not a lot of people will know about this game.
@@shaitet I thought it was pretty popular. I remembered hearing a lot of people talking about it at the time. But obviously it wasn't ever really mainstream like GTA or something.
Funny thing is, that the first time i aknowledged the existence of this franchise, is when i watched that dane boe (creator of annoying orange) video called "mario vs katamari", and the first ever katamari-related thing i saw was that chowder episode called "grubble gum"!
This is just so bizzare I can't believe that I haven't heard of it, until the annoucment for the HD version on Switch! Going to get this bizzare, drug influenced hidden gem of a game for sure!
I've heard about this game all right. It came out in Japan, the USA and Canada in 2004 but unfortunately it never came out in the UK, my home country Ireland, the rest of Europe, Australia and New Zealand. I don't know why Namco (Bandai Namco) decided not to release this game in Europe and Australia.
The opening "na-naaaa, na-na-na-naaa-na-na-na" from the title screen stays throughout the whole rest of the game for me. I'm running PCSX2 1.4. Can I get some help?
I confirm that this erroneous audio looping can occur even in builds as new as the 1.5 nightly (pcsx2-v1.5.0-dev-1744-g8fecd35-windows-x86). I don't think it's related to config. I also think it's non-deterministic, and related to save state. For example: the problem presented, and I saved state. Then loading from that state reproduced the problem. But rebooting the game without using a save state fixed the problem. This was without changing any config in-between. Therefore: I think you just need to make sure you only save state when the problem is not present.
@OmegaMetroid93 Seconded, it's just plain fun. The sole purpose of it is to entertain the player, no story or anything like that :) It gets even more extreme in the last stages, being able to roll up whole countries with your Katamari :P
PCSX2 There is a story for each installment, even the first. The King of all Cosmos got drunk and destroyed the stars in the sky by bumping around, hitting them, so The Prince has to roll up Earth stuff to replace the stars. Each title got more intense, like The King hitting a tennis ball too hard and it shot into the sky, creating a black hole that sucked all the planets and stars up so The Prince has to go out again and replace them as well as plug up the black hole forever so it never strikes again.
If you could be interested in this message (or just ignore this and go further among the comment section...),then i want you to know about the existence of a game similar (and inspired by) to this one, its called tasty planet, and its made by an canadian indie game page called "dingo games", their first entry in that series was simply called "tasty planet" (not to be confused by a flash game of the same name which only had 8 levels) their latest entry was "tasty planet forever" (and unlike the previous 3 installaments, its free on the google playstore!), the games are about a little blob of goo called "grey goo" (who in the first game, he was supposed to be an bathroom cleaner, the sequel: back for seconds, was created by an accident in nanotechnology ,absent in the third game "tasty blue", and appeared mysteriously in tasty planet forever) who is capable of eating smaller things than itself, the series also includes other playable characters such as -cyclops grey goo (back for seconds multiplayer only) -goldfish -dolphin -nanoshark -a robotic cleaning cat -a caribean octopus -an african lab rat -a bee -a pacific basking shark -a experimental dingo -and a flying penguin (TO BE FINISHED)
it's 2023 and I just mentioned this game to one of my team members: I was explaining how good things just start sticking to you when you're working on your dreams, like the Katamari Damacy effect. He had no idea what I meant so i sent this to him 😀this game made me so happyyy hahaha
@PCSX2team: Doesn't it even go way beyond that (if not in this game, but in other katamari-games) where you get to roll up planets and galaxies? xD I faintly remember something like that.
13:26 BA NA NA Also how did you get the in-game visuals to function properly on PCSX2? I have We ❤ Katamari (the second one) for it, and everything works fine except The King's head texture while he sits in his chair is warped all over the place, and the in-game play is impossible due to the colorful background pattern (usually seen when inside a house level and are against the wall) being the front layer like a fog instead. I own it physically for my PS2, but I downloaded the ISO for making referral screenshots and stuff.
New issue. It;s telling me I need to complete the tutorial but Idk how to do the quick turn (telling me to push down on both buttons), I'm using a keyboard. How do I get past this?
You push around a huge ball which gets stuff stuck on it if they are smaller than the ball-> the ball gets bigger-> bigger stuff get stuck on it etc etc until you start rolling up continents and planets :P
in the game when you are on 'home planet' (around 0:37 in this video), they play this acoustic guitar song that I am unable to find on the ost. Can anyone please tell me the name of the song or where to find this gem??
It _is_ on the OST (Katamari Fortissimo Damacy). It's track 7, "Walking on a Star! (The Wonderful Star's Walk is Wonderful)". Here's a RUclips video of it: /watch?v=o64PW1LE-0E .
ATTENTION I’m making a open world DS game of this. One where you can change the style and size of your avatar. And you can also have your own little planet house thing.
@OmegaMetroid93 Haha yeah that happened in the Xbox360 game "Beautiful Katamari", don't remember if this one (the first one to come out) goes that far :P
All of my issues are fixed. I forgot to update the comment. Only issue is that the game is kinda laggy, but for a shitty Pc like mine, it's expected. Downloaded 1.4 and all, everything's fine.
Hello, could I use some footage from this video in another video I'm making in which I mention this game? I can credit your channel in the video description if you'd like.
hey guys, i need some help. when i start katamari damacy on the emulator it goes to the save selection screen then goes all slow motion with slow sound? this also keeps going on and off during gameplay. can someone ppllzz help!! -.-
The katamari is made by power of stars, caching things make the katamari grow in 2 way: mass grow and power grow. In a mission of katamari forever you become so big that you catch the entire heart and you Become so big that the katamari get is own gravity! And you can fly in the space! You can even catch a BLACK HOLE. Anyting else to say about?
![[PCSX2] PS2 Downhill Domination 4k 60 FPS gameplay](/img/1.gif)
man I think this game is a masterpiece. the way the environment evolves with the size of your ball (katamari?) is so impressive to me
I think this inspires Agario which inspires a whole bunch of many other games
facts dont care about your feelings.
1:30 You can be a DJ with the way the king speaks
I would be kind of pissed if someone just came along and rolled me or my car up in to a giant ball of random junk and made me into a moon or a constellation....is this legal in Japan?
Yep, except for in certain districts of Tokyo

It's about togetherness, we all come together to make something beautiful man.

I used to play this at the factory where I was made. This brings me back far.

Surreal, I wouldn't say it's disturbing.
Well, don't forget that Old Spice is the most surreal and disturbing yet hilarious masterpiece that not even Japan can make it.

1:12 goes straight from phantom of the opera to star wars to a bit of a lord of the rings feel within about seventeen seconds of music its marvellous
This is the most therapeutic game I have ever witnessed
Lmao
I love just watching the Prince go about his business in the bottom right of the screen

This game is friggin wonderful.
KD and acid. A perfect combo.

Underrated game ever, miss this so much 😂❤️

You can get it in the UK because I played it years ago at my mates house. Plus you can get on the Xbox 360 just a different version of the game.

James, the song is called "Walking on a Star!"
Such a great, chill game you can't be sad while playing this.

I just tried it in 1.4 and it didn't happen, you messed something in your settings probably
I'm getting the same problem D:
why are you complaining

This game really needs a sequel. They really had a good time making it.
it has multiple sequels
@@veeeen this.
I am interested in mods or patches that allow any size item to be rolled at any point and various tweaks to mass and speed of rolling.
Oh the chaos that would cause
This is the my favorite game of all time! I wish I could play it on the xbox. :(
This OST be HITTIN'.
Normal peoples dreams: *kissing their crush or whatever*

Will always be a classic!!!

@PCSX2team: Doesn't it even go way beyond that (if not in this game, but in other katamari-games) where you get to roll up planets and galaxies? xD
I faintly remember something like that.
I had to increase the analog stick's sensibility in the settings for the Prince to run the way he should.
is it me or the prince is making epic dj scratches
Who on here actually bought this game?
I remember buying this game in Gamestop in the PS2 days. It was either this, Spyro, Crash, Or GTA usually Still one of my favorites to this day.
Yes
Bought we love katamari a long time ago when I still had a ps2 and was really looking for a way to play it even though I only owned a pc
This is one of the best games I ever played on PS2
9/10 would buy again
I did, and I didn't own a PS2 at the time.
If you mean the text, texture filtering helps with that
13:26 BA NA NA

I shall definitely check that out! Because I was getting mega frustrated that he wasn't going. :/
:p
Thanks!!
I personally liked the (small) story about the King's past... don't say there's no story.
Someone was trying to explain this game to me. I still can't really comprehend what I'm seeing here.
You push around a huge ball which gets stuff stuck on it if they are smaller than the ball-> the ball gets bigger-> bigger stuff get stuck on it etc etc until you start rolling up continents and planets :P
@@ps2emulator I think it's really awesome how that is the basis for the entire game. It just seems so crazy.
That was one dark ending.

The Background song sounds "Shiyawase Katamary" i know what it means, man the bgm is addicting
when your high and play this, what an experience.

i have this game like 12 years ago on demo and after 20min of playing my head hurt, but it was hard but awesome
I was trying to find this game after years but when I searched "the game that roll stuff" in google, this came out. Such a funny game.
omg i forgot this game existed wtfff
I don't know why, but this doesn't feel natural, seeing the game in HD. It just looks weird. Someone flip the non-HD switch back to on.
Какая ностальгия!
I don't understand what you want to do. You can download PCSX2 from our homepage.
Thanks, Japan, for this weird-ass masterpiece.
Why the king's mouth and eyes are boxed while in animation?
+jat xe mo Thats an issue with the ROM and the emulation. I thought the same thing the first time I played it on an emulator.
Loved this game !!
@AlmostTechnicolor Not if you use the settings I've posted...
It's on the lower right of each entry, a green button
How did you get the fonts so crisp at such a high rendering resolution?
I... like it's disturbing but, I love it. Couldn't stop watching wth XD
Wait till you play it, its addictive :P
Game freezes at the beginning sequence with the cows.
Running 0.9.8, that might be the issue.
If it's not, please tell me...
Use 1.4.0...
All of my issues are fixed.
I forgot to update the comment.
Only issue is that the game is kinda laggy, but for a shitty Pc like mine, it's expected.
Downloaded 1.4 and all, everything's fine.
What’s wrong with the kings eyes as he talks?

For some reason... Watching this makes me want to get an Allstate insurance policy.. 🤷🏾♂️
Is it needed to have a PS2/PS3 controller to play this. I can't make the emulator work when I map the analogs -.-'
So basically you roll around and pick random crap up??
Yeah :D
