Auf der Level Up Konferenz in Barcelona machte Oliver Comte ( Vizepräsident und Marketing Bandai Namco Partners) einen interessanten Kommentar:

“I am convinced that in the future we must change the price of video games – they’re too expensive for the audience. With the cost of development and the retail margins, £40 ($60) is a fair price [to us], but for the consumer it is too much,”

“A good price of a game should be around £20 ($30) – but for this price we can’t make a ten to 15-hour adventure,” Compte continued. “So for £20 we should offer consumers four to five hours of gameplay, then after that we can make additional money with DLC.”

Also bekommt man nun für $30 ein Spiel das rund 5h dauert und den Rest dann per DLC. Wird also Splatterhouse nur 30€ kosten? Ich denke nicht.

Changelog:
* “Offline Multi Boys” mode with play for up to four.
* Onara Boy (Fart Boy)
* Sound powered up, with additional sound effects and the ability to select music
* Added variations for your Boy House hair styles
* Changes to the poses for when birds think
* … and more and more

tolle liste :>

Namco laesst nicht locker und versorgt lange nach der 360 Version endlich auch die PS3 nutzer mit einem Katamri Spiel. Katamari Damacy Tribute ist aber mehr als nur ein Port vom original.
Quote von IGN:

Tribute retains the basic Katamari Damacy formula, but appears to up the scale of everything. You’ll find items in far greater numbers sitting around waiting to be picked up and added to your growing katamari clump. The game features over 30 stage goals — the highest number in series history.

Some of the biggest changes are in the presentation. The game supports full 1080p — as in 1920×1080.

In addition, the visual design has changed. Or, rather, it can be changed. You can now choose your own visual style, selecting from a variety of styles like “comic touch,” “new touch,” and “wood touch.” The game’s rendering engine changes accordingly. Those who like the original style can play the old fashioned way too.

Other new elements include a new monochrome stage, where everything except for your katamari is monochrome, and an all new mode of play that’s still being kept under wraps. The game will also feature some form of PlayStation Network support. Famitsu lists the title as supporting two players, so we’re hoping for some form of online play.

Also ich bin HYPED!

Hier noch der trailer:

Es gibt nun ein erstes, kurzes Video zum, im Boy’s Daydream #1, angekündigten Multiplayer Modus von Noby Noby Boy.
