Katamari creator influenced by Axis’ DiRT trailer

Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi has revealed an unexpected influence for his new game Noby Noby Boy – a trailer to Codemasters’ Colin McRae: DiRT.

Speaking in an interview with Wired, Takahashi – who famously claims to not particularly like any games – said that he consulted the trailer for its camera work.

He told the site: "Even though I haven’t played the actual game, we consulted the opening camera work in a trailer for DiRT."
