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."
