My first Katamari game was Beautiful Katamari on the Xbox 360, and I had never played the originals until the remasters, and while the idea between them basically stays the same, I can't help but feel like the jump in hardware let them realize the vision of what the game was meant to be.

The idea behind Katamari is fun regardless, and the interactions between the King and the fans are hilarious, so the game is still loads of fun. There is just this feeling that even though the remasters were touched up, the realization of rolling up from the small room up to the galaxy seamlessly in later iterations does make the old ones stick out as old, even after being remastered.
