Continuing the Katamari love-in, Keita Takahashi, master creator of Katamari Damacy and its forthcoming sequel We LOVE Katamari (hooray - we get a European release!), made a few waves when he gave his keynote speech at last week's GDC-Europe. Beyond his strange proposal for a game which Grandma would like (think cats, think peripherals, now put the two together), he announced that he's not much of a game player, "Because there are no fun ones."
Silence.
From Kieron Gillen's coverage for Gamasutra:
He knows games are interesting… but life is interesting. From feeling the rush of air in your face while riding a bike, to the joy of skipping or the heart-beating in your chest when you stop. These may not be particularly punk rock, but they all stimulate, and all make life worth living.
"You don't need games to have fun," he considers, "possibly you don't need games at all."
