Quantcast



Don't get me wrong: I've been following Noby Noby Boy for some time now. It's just that none of the prior knowledge I've collected on this game helps me understand this trailer. There is gyration; a dull, throbbing noise; pulsating phallic things with two heads; and cars made out of 10 polygons. What the hell is going on here?

We've seen plenty of screenshots, but this video is new. It's different from the Tokyo Game Show video we saw last year. Keita Takahashi (Katamari Damacy's creator) has created something so weird that it looks like we'll have to play it to get what is going on. Half of me is looking forward to next week's global launch on the PlayStation Network, while the other half is scared and confused.

Crap. I loved Katamari on the PS2 and have been looking foward to Noby Noby Boy, but I don't have a PS3. I hope this coimes out on XBLA or WiiWare (I doubt it would ever come out on PC). If not then I will have to play it at my friend's house. Mabye a PSP port?

Reading the article, I thought "Oh, this will be like those pointless tech demo videos that don't show anything at all."

*Press Play*

"Wait, WHAT?"

I especially enjoyed the political commentary on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

If this is awesome, can someone explain why?

I like nonsense as much as the next guy, but what's awesome about this game? What's the hook? What's the pitch?

Holy shit! the joystiq videos show him sweating hearts everywhere he goes and eating people!

I'm confused, slightly revolted, and excited to pay $5 for something I will not understand. :D
