Noby Noby Boy (PSN)

[Tondog]

From the creator of Katamari Damacy, it's Noby Noby Boy? Uh, what is it?

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...

Still confused? Well, maybe you should be. As Keita Takahashi said:

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.

So that was actual gameplay footage? I'm still confused!

[Tondog]

I'll be buying it next week whenever Sony updates the Playstation Store. I'll let you all know what I think.

I really dont get it at all...
i loved katamari damacy but this imo looks nothing like it based on that video.

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.

That sounds kinda irritating... but very viral.
I like it.

And here's an interesting interview with Keita Takahashi from Eurogamer:

Quick impressions: What in the hell am I playing? This is the weirdest game EVER!

Oh, what I said about it being like Snake. I take that back. I have no fucking clue how to explain this game. Seriously.

Here's footage of me playing it:

Is the goal of the first part to eat the dice? It kind of looks like you're doing that.

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. 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.

odd.

Oh, ok. But then the goal of the game is for the whole community to grow GIRL as large as possible, isn't it?

Well, yeah. I guess that could be the goal of the game.

Thats pretty cool.

[Izret101]

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.
