Katamari
Forever Goes Gold for PlayStation 3
Feel the Cosmos and Roll the
Largest Katamari in the Galaxy
NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.
announced today that Katamari Forever has gone gold exclusively for the
PLAYSTATION 3. Use the Prince’s Katamari to roll up as many everyday objects as
possible within a time limit. The more objects that the Prince rolls up, the
larger his Katamari becomes, allowing him to roll up bigger items. The Prince
faces his toughest challenge ever as Katamari Forever boasts the largest
collection of stages, modes, songs, and cousins to date. Remixed classic
Katamari Damacy tunes, a brand-new storyline, multiple new visual effects and
1080p graphics round out Katamari Forever into the ultimate Katamari experience
ever.
An unfortunate accident has caused
the King of All Cosmos to lose his memory and all the stars to disappear from
the night sky. The Prince must use his finely tuned Katamari rolling skills once
more to re-create the absent celestial bodies, save his royal father and restore
order to the Cosmos. Thumb tacks, sushi, cats, people, skyscrapers, ocean liners
and continents – nothing is safe as the Prince makes his way through the largest
variety of stages in a single Katamari game.
Katamari Forever features a brand
new art style along with multiple graphic filters to bring out even more variety
than ever before. The new changeable graphic filters give Katamari Forever a
certain “je ne sais quoi” that all Katamari games possess. Wood Tone transforms
everything in the world into carved out wooden blocks while Comic Book paints
the screen with bold colors and stroke outlines. Players looking to take a trip
down memory lane can switch to Classic to re-create the series trademark visual
style in glorious 1080p. Make sure to try them all out and find your favorite
for a totally new way to experience the world of Katamari.
In addition to all these great new
features, Katamari Forever also includes fun and frantic cooperative and
competitive multiplayer modes. Choose your favorite cousin and play together or
compete in heated Katamari competition. Who will become the Katamari champion in
your house?
Katamari Forever is rated “E” for
Everyone by the ESRB and will carry a MSRP of $49.99 when it is released on
September 22, 2009.
