Noby Noby Boy For PS3 Redefines The Notion Of A Game
Just because this forthcoming title is so fascinating, we’re throwing it up to your attention, despite its release being exclusively for the PS3. Its own creators can’t really put into words what the nature of the game is – Noby Noby Boy is sort of an abstract, participation-based persistent Universe whose purpose is to house its ever-growing protagonists, known as Boy and Girl. Perhaps its closest analog would be Katmari Damacy, which was created by the same developer, Keita Takahashi of Namco Bandai.
In Noby Noby Boy, players take control of a Lego-man like, stretchable character, who grows as it’s pulled around via the two analog sticks. Players score points based on how much they stretch Boy. As Boy grows in size, its lengths are uploaded to a persistent character, known as Girl. Girl grows along with all of the Boys in the Universe. It starts on the planet Earth, then stretches to the moon, and then expands out into the Solar System, unlocking new environments for users to explore as it gets bigger.
Noby Noby boy will be available for download on the PSN starting this Thursday, January 19th.
