Title: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Tondog on February 14, 2009, 11:43:03 AM From the creator of Katamari Damacy, it's Noby Noby Boy? Uh, what is it?
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/02/13/noby-noby-boy-is/ Quote Basically players can control and stretch Boy, the main character of the game. As players stretch Boy, the lengths to which he grows are uploaded to a persistent character known as Girl, who grows at the same rate as the combined length of all the players in the world. Girl starts at Earth and expands around the solar system. When Girl reaches a new milestone in the solar system, new areas are unlocked as playable stages for everyone around the world. Confused? Maybe this will help... http://www.viddler.com/player/1fc7244d/ Still confused? Well, maybe you should be. As Keita Takahashi said: Quote As I mentioned earlier, this game is indescribable, and some people may say, “This isn’t a game!†But, what is a game? Should there be a definition for a game? That’s the way I feel. I for one am buying this game because I LOVED Katamari Damacy, and it's only $5. Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Sirgin on February 14, 2009, 12:35:24 PM So that was actual gameplay footage? I'm still confused! :D
Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Tondog on February 14, 2009, 01:58:58 PM I'll be buying it next week whenever Sony updates the Playstation Store. I'll let you all know what I think.
Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Izret101 on February 17, 2009, 02:12:31 PM I really dont get it at all...
i loved katamari damacy but this imo looks nothing like it based on that video. Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Tondog on February 17, 2009, 06:42:03 PM I really dont get it at all... From what I understand it's gonna play out like snake, and levels will be unlocked not by you, but rather everyone in the world playing the game.i loved katamari damacy but this imo looks nothing like it based on that video. Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Izret101 on February 17, 2009, 07:37:47 PM That sounds kinda irritating... but very viral.
I like it. Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Tondog on February 18, 2009, 02:40:52 PM And here's an interesting interview with Keita Takahashi from Eurogamer:

Oh, what I said about it being like Snake. I take that back. I have no fucking clue how to explain this game. Seriously. :D Here's footage of me playing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s07aqGt2cqY Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Sirgin on February 20, 2009, 12:35:08 PM Is the goal of the first part to eat the dice? It kind of looks like you're doing that. :P
Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Tondog on February 20, 2009, 06:35:59 PM Is the goal of the first part to eat the dice? It kind of looks like you're doing that. :P Goals? There are no goals in the game. You just eat things, stretch, and report your lengths to GIRL.Looks like GIRL is currently 111,649,180m long (according to the game's website o--o.jp (http://o--o.jp). Actual distance from the Earth to the Moon is 363,104,000m. So if growth continues how it's been going, we should have a new planet unlocked in the next few days.

Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: blcklblskt on February 20, 2009, 10:57:38 PM Thats pretty cool.
Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Izret101 on February 21, 2009, 06:39:05 PM So the more you eat the larger you grow the more planets there are to get to.
Pretty cool concept actually. Still looks weird as all hell. I wish i had a system i could try it out on. Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on February 22, 2009, 03:26:39 AM Fartin' hearts and eatin' dice. Reminds me of last week, for some reason.
Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Tondog on February 23, 2009, 04:13:02 PM Hey guys, Moon's unlocked! Next up: Mars.
Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Izret101 on February 23, 2009, 07:57:51 PM What about mercury, venus and the sun?
Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Sirgin on February 23, 2009, 08:19:54 PM Hey guys, Moon's unlocked! Next up: Mars. So now everyone in the world playing this game can play on the Moon? Even people who just started? And will the game stop at the solar system or go beyond that? Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Tondog on February 24, 2009, 12:01:39 AM Hey guys, Moon's unlocked!

Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Sirgin on February 24, 2009, 09:37:06 AM Yes. Everyone now can play on the Moon, even if you just bought the game. And I don't know where they're going to go after the solar system. Maybe other galaxies? I know Keita Takahashi wants to keep this going as long as possible. I see.I don't think you'll have to worry about what comes after the solar system just yet though. The moon is very, very close to earth, so if they continue to use real-life distances then it'll be months until the solar system is completed. (Unless the game becomes hugely popular and thousands are playing it all the time :P) Title: Re: Noby Noby Boy (PSN) Post by: Tondog on February 24, 2009, 01:29:21 PM Well, Takahashi I think has plans for where he wants to go when we finish the solar system. He said he has a "big update" in mind for the game about two months after release:
