Why Katamari Damacy’s Creator Left Bandai Namco for Global Game Development

For numerous years, Keita Takahashi was a member of Namco’s art department, where he played a pivotal role in creating the initial version of “Katamari Damacy,” launched in 2004 for PlayStation 2. This game revolves around a young prince who is assigned by his cosmic father to reconstruct celestial bodies by moving around a mystical ball called a “katamari.” This ball has the peculiarity of adhering to objects, buildings, landmasses, and even people. Once the katamari reaches an appropriate size, it transforms into a star, completing the level. The original “Katamari Damacy” received accolades for its ingenuity, promptly followed by the release of its sequel, “We Love Katamari,” also on PlayStation 2. In 2006, Namco and Bandai combined forces to establish Bandai Namco, and Takahashi departed from the company. Notably, “Katamari Damacy” and “We Love Katamari” were the only games in the series where Takahashi had a direct hand in their development.

God of War Trailer Sparks Excitement for Upcoming TV Series!

As a passionate movie critic, I’ve followed Kratos’ gripping odyssey since 2005, a journey that began in the hallowed grounds of ancient Sparta, Greece. Initially, I found myself rooting for Kratos as he was relentlessly outnumbered and overpowered. In desperation, he struck a deal with Ares, the embodiment of war itself. To secure victory, Kratos offered his soul and swore allegiance to this god of destruction.

Armed with the Blades of Chaos, Kratos wreaked havoc on entire towns, blindly obeying Ares’ commands. However, a terrible deception was waiting in the wings. Ares manipulated Kratos into slaying his beloved wife Lysandra and innocent daughter Calliope, leaving an indelible stain of grief upon the Ghost of Sparta.

This tragic event has haunted Kratos for 20 years, driving him to seek revenge across a series of groundbreaking gaming titles. After finally vanquishing Ares, Kratos continued his rampage through the Greek pantheon, leaving naught but ruins in his wake.

The Norse chapter in Kratos’ saga, launched with Santa Monica Studios’ 2018 release of God of War, offers a chilling glimpse into the tormented psyche of this anti-hero. The sequel titles explore his struggle to leave behind his arrogant, brutal past and forge a more promising, tranquil future – not only for himself but also for the humans living under the oppressive rule of other pantheons.
