When not harboring dreams of designing playground equipment, Katamari creator Keita Takahashi makes games and says kooky things. Some of those kooky things make sense, and some of them don't whatsoever. What's Keita think of creativity?

Defining the word creativity is difficult in a sense. Even the likes of God of War, for instance, it is really well made. It's a great graphic game with an interesting story. It's not fair to tell them that their games have no creativity. Having said that I do feel many games do lack the wow factor in a sense.

Sure, the law of averages agrees with you, Keita. Most games aren't going to be as creative or surreal as Katamari.

There's nothing surreal about it. I think if Katamari is considered so creative then to me it feels like the video game industry in general has lost its direction.

You had me Keita, and then you lost me. Keita Complains [CVG]
