Katamari Forever Tunes Get Chippy

Namco Bandai’s heading back to the Katamari mines this year for the PlayStation 3-only release of Katamari Forever—perhaps more aptly named Katamari Damacy Tribute in Japan. That “tribute” aspect is highlighted [[link]] in its remixed, 8-bit influenced soundtrack.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); One of the musical artists tapped to contribute to the Katamari Forever soundtrack is Japanese chiptunes outfit YMCK. The group covers “A Crimson Rose and a Gin Tonic” from the original Katamari Damacy, giving it a more old-school digital spin. Care to take a listen? The original version can be heard at YouTube. The [[link]] Katamari Forever soundtrack won’t be a strictly chiptunes affair, as the game’s sound director Yuu Miyake writes on the official PlayStation.blog that the warmed over Katamari will feature both “electric” and “organic” jams. I haven’t touched a Katamari game since the PlayStation 2 release We Love Katamari, due to a feeling of sameness with the most PSP, Xbox 360 and iPhone releases and a lack of Keita Takahashi [[link]] inolvement, but I may check out Forever. Not sure if the cel-shaded look appeals to me in this particular entry, but we’ll see. Katamari Forever – The Music [PlayStation.blog]
