Ah you got me! Can't believe I fell for it.
I still wish I Love Katamari and Katamari Amore weren't removed, now that you've mentioned the games being trapped on their native consoles. I wished those were multiplatformed.
same, i’d love to be able to play those games. there are way too many delisted mobile katamari games it makes me sad
Finally got to these, was surprised to hear exos voice
Excellent video Mr. Beef. This is the deep dive that the best game in the ball-rolling genre deserves. However I wish you had mentioned the multiplayer. While the versus is okay and not that notable outside of its charm, We Love features co-op throughout the whole game where you control the katamari together, which is very fun and chaotic. I mainly mention this due to the snowman level. It's my least favorite as well, but in co-op the level transforms completely, turning into two people rolling the different parts of the snowman in a race to combine together with the bigger part. It's nothing amazing but it adds some spice to the level that it truly needed.
Also, slander on the menu themes? That's fine but the song that plays in the song Beautiful Star is maybe my favorite menu theme in the series, featuring a tranquil feel and backwards instruments that make it so playing it backwards ends up making its own beautiful track. Just some fun little trivia. :3
Overall this might be your best work yet, you did an amazing job (potential bias included) illustrating why this game is a perfect sequel and a magnificent improvement to the original. The King would be proud.
i have never played multiplayer in any of the katamari games lol
@@ahbeef I liked Forever's as a kid and I know it was a thing they marketed for Beautiful, I think it had online versus? I just like We Love's co-op and thought the stuff with the snow level was cool obscure knowledge.
finally finished damacy a month or so ago so seeing this in my notifications was a sure treat, been eagerly awaiting this review (didn't think it'd come this soon, though!)
24:12 I think the reasons for song name changes were because that was ‘guru guru’ means spinning in Japanese and Cherry Blossom Color Season was the original Japanese name for that song.
yeah i figured its all just down to retranslations but still, these songs all had official english names visible in their original games, so changing them seems really dumb to me. also, all of the name changes just kinda suck. guru guru gravity has some nice alliteration going on, and cherry tree times is much more concise while still getting the point across
@@ahbeef yeah I agree with all of that. I prefer both names too.
an actual sequel would be so sick
AHHHHHHHH beef
It would be funny if they moved on to remaking me & my katamari, instead of just making something new
i honestly think that game kinda needed a remake the most but knowing how faithful these remakes are it probably wouldnt bother to fix that game's issues anyway so lol
@@ahbeefPSP games in HD go hard so I agree with this
You ever gonna cover the pacman championship trilogy at some point
eventually, yes
@@ahbeef cool
We Love Katamari Reroll has so many issues from incorrect pitches, warped water in gorgeous setting, vending machines spitting out drinks in the roses level and many, many more. For every problem, add 2 points to the PS2 version. I would like to show you the list my team made but RUclips deletes comments with links.
frankly these issues are so small that i would probably only give the ps2 version one point for all of them combined. not every single detail is going to make it when a game gets remade from the ground up, and when the overall experience comes with so many improvements and additions, it's worth taking a few missed details in my opinion
@@ahbeef Honestly, If I Am Being Honest And Respectful, The PS2 Version Def Needed More Point's!!! Sure WLKR Is A Remaster Of The PS2, But Like What Nonny Stated, WLKR Had A LOT Of Error's And Stuff, Hence Why I Agree With Nonny Here. Again Being Respectful, If These Error's And Such Were Fixed, Then WLKR Would've Been WAY Better!!! Me And Nonny Have A List Of OVER 40-50 Error's Found In Game!!! We Hope The Game Get's Fixed In Future Update's!!! And All Of The Royal Reverie Stage's Are Basically Just From The Chapter 1 Cutscene From The Main Game!!! And The Stage's Are Just Re-Skin Of The Original Stage's!!! Papa Doesn't Have His Own Voice AND Result's Screen And It Re-Use's DAN DON FUGA From The King When U Play The Main Stage's From The Main Game!!! I Do Agree With U That The Sticker Side Quest Was Fricken Useless Because There Are Some Dickish Sticker Placement's, And Like U Said, The Sweet's Stage, I ALSO Had To Use Selfie Mode To Get The Sticker Since It Was On The Floor!!! I Hate That if U Take The Pic With The Sticker DIRECTLY In The Middle, It Won't Give It To U, So That NEED's To be Fixed!!! The BackTracking On The Cousin's Make Sense So They Can Give U More To Do Instead Of Being Done In 5-30min!!! And It Is OverPriced For Some Song's From The Katamari Damacy Series!!! If It Was $5, Then I Would Be Fine, But $20??? Oh Hell No!!! Also Yea, I HOPE We Get A New Katamari Game In The Future Instead Of Another Remake!!! Also Me And MY Katamari Can Be Emulated With PPSSPP And Katamari Forever Can Be Emulated With RPCS3, So U Can Play Them On Ur P.C. If U Want, And The Control's Are Still The Same!!! I Hope These Error's Get Fixed And More Royal Reverie Stage's Get Added Too, So I'm Sorry, But I Agree With Nonny Here, But I Also Agree With U On Some Point's On This Too, yes ;)!!!
7:49 I might be taking this wrong, but i think this is implying that no other Katamari game runs at 60fps? If that's what you're saying, it's not true. Beautiful Katamari (the Xbox 360 one) also runs at 60fps, and it definitely makes that game feel better to play too (even if on real hardware you have to use a Xbox controller).
8:34 They do. The Cousins item category still exists in KD1's collection and you need them all to get 100%.
i know that beautiful does run at 60 but i still think we love reroll feels a lot better in the general physics and controls. as for the cousins in damacy, i did look for it in the tracker but couldn't find it. guess i didn't look hard enough lol
22:53 It actually WAS in japanese in the the PS2 NTSC-J release. In the japanese version, it's also supposed to be voiced by the King, as opposed to a omniscient narrator.
23:32 It IS a new feature.
beautiful sure as hell doesn't stay at 60 unless you do backwards compatability though lol
33:22 Re-Pac doesn't do that.
oh does the re-pac one fade out?
@@ahbeef Yeah, and it's not visible to begin with until you press the button.
good, guess my memory was failing me on that one. re-pac actually got it right!
@@ahbeef Also I just did some research, and I can confirm that the opening narration was in Japanese in Japan, thus We Love ReRoll went out of its way to include the English dub. Glad they did that, I love the delivery on that opening.
First
not true. do better
