Noby Noby Boy's GIRL has reached Pluto after 2468 days or almost 7 years.The next destination is The Sun. We are 6 trillion meters away. Almost 7 years and we aren't even halfway to the ending. Nobody has ever seen the ending after this long. Getting there unlocks Mercury and Venus too.
The absolute fucking madman!
will we ever find our sun?
>>317645873
I don't get it.
How fitting that a PS3 games main gameplay mechanic is waiting.

This is pretty fucking great. Any estimate on when we reach the sun?
>>317646658
It was a rhetorical question, rude sage.
>>317646874
It wasn't a question at all, fuckhead.
>>317646781
Your kid will probably be in school by the time it happens. Only if you stretch your boy out every day though.
wait so after the sun it just goes on repeat or what
>>317646781
At least two years.Possibly never.
>>317646973
>call Kotaku get them on the line
Not sure if he was joking, but I think someone should message Kotaku, or any of those big sites. Doesn't matter if you hate the site(s). It could get more people in on this.
>>317647156
no one knows. We haven't reached the sun yet.
Why can't we just datamine the game

Fuck me, meant to quote >>317646137

It has been datamined. We hit The Sun, realize we haven't made Mercury and Venus our friends yet, go to Mercury and Venus, and eventually end up back on Earth, the starting point.
Due to the theme of the game being friendship and uniting different people into one, I think Earth 2 will be like Earth except with every object from every planet able to appear.
>>317647645
It actually reached Pluto faster than New Horizons did, granted New Horizons got there first but it had a three-year headstart.
>>317647345
>autistic people
Why not relaunch it on the PS4?
>>317647809
>It actually reached Pluto faster than New Horizons did,

They could add some stuff after we get to Earth 2, potentially. I'd love if it just kept going into stranger and stranger places.

>>317647962
The team was disbanded after only one update, Keita Takahashi hasn't worked at Bandai Namco since 2009 and presumably the only reason this game is still online is because someone at Bamco forgot about the Apple II in the server room running this shit
The official website doesn't even report the right information anymore
>>317647859
because it only sold 150k to this date even after being on sale several times for only a dollar and having a regular price of 5 dollars, it was too early for the twitch memegame boat and critics didn't get it at the time and it just faded into obscurity

Pretty sure they took noby noby boy down from the store a few years ago, as in no longer for sale.
>>317653401
It's still on US PSN for the same old $4.99 it launched at all those years ago. Dunno if the mobile version is still up and running though.
>>317653401
Nope I bought it 6 months ago, still likely on the store.
>>317651776
Fuck it, just sent them an email too.
>>317653613
Pretty sure the iOS one got removed in 2012.
>>317653401
you're confusing it with the mobile version
>>317653151
if you all did I'd be very appreciative, I contribute 2 billion a day using this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rysHj-mBfo
(grind to 1 million and then it's 2 billion after the x2015 multiplier is applied every time)
If we had just ten people contributing 2 billion a day in addition to me, we'd reach The Sun and the ending in less than a year. If it's just me doing this shit, it'll take like 8 years. I need you guys.
I contributed 264 billion to Pluto.
>>317652665
literally me
>>317654025
Used to be in the Top 100 contribs for a while way back in the day. So the multiplier is static these days? I remember when there wasn't one, then when it was random. I have played this year, must've not noticed.
The game lasted longer than the console. I stopped playing because it was either disconnect the network or have Sony patch out more features on my 60gb.
>>317654303
x2015 almost every single time.Would anybody be interested in a Steam group for organizational purposes and to share how to grind it properly? If you set it up right you can grind 4 billion a day, and it's not even that difficult or time-consuming, just requires you to leave the console on overnight
We have to organize, if it's just disparate people only contributing about 500k a day aside from me we're never going to fucking get there, we don't have 8 more years to spare and more people need to know how I set it up
>>317654957
>just requires you to leave the console on overnight
Pretty sure long bouts of doing that andfolding@homekilled at least 2 of my PS3's. Maybe my 3 year old super slim one won't buckle quite as hard under the pressure.
>>317654957
>almost
tfw my 400k the other day didn't get it
>>317655217
Honestly we're at the point where finishing this fight is worth more to me than my PS3. It's last-gen hardware anyway. I've been leaving my console on overnight almost every night since April and it doesn't consume that much power, also Noby Noby Boy doesn't really stress anything on the system or read from the HDD with any real frequency. Leaving your PS3 on didn't kill it, not dusting it out killed it.
Alright, I sent one more email, so now I've notified Kotaku, Destructoid, and Siliconera. If even one of them decides to publish a quick article/announcement, and even a few more people get in on this, then it'll help a lot.
>>317656041
good jorb
>>317656041
but they don't know the technique
>>317656254
I didn't fucking think to put that Youtube video in any of the emails. I should have, but honestly, I don't know how many people would be dedicated to do it, so it can't be helped I guess. Anything helps.
>>317656041
Nice job anon.
>>317656458
if we just had ten people aside from me doing it a day we'd get there in 8 months, honest to god
I just don't know how to tell people what to do
My only hope is that I throw this information everywhere, hope people can match my output and hope it can gain steam (no pun intended but yeah)
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/nobynobyboy
Man Pluto is super colorful, who'da thought.
Also the music for reaching new planets is glorious and Earthbound-esque.

So I can buy this on PSN?
If I hook up my PS3 to wifi i can help y'all nigs do this?
>>317658770
>>317658964
yep, costs $5
>There is an x2015 multiplier applied to almost all submissions. Take this into account. Game the RNG until you find a house with a bowl cut haircut. Eat to 6m unstretched (unstretched length is a measurement of girth) then stretch to 1200-1400m. Game the RNG until you land on a map that is thin, ideally slanted in some way where the house is, and the house needs to be on the edge too so BOY falls off over and over and over again. Smaller platforms are ideal because you don't get stuck as easily. Avoid thick platforms due to BOY severing by clipping through the ground. If we get several people doing this a day, submitting 2 to 4 billion a day (1-2 million before multiplier), we could make it within the next year! We need several people doing this daily leaving their PS3 on overnight otherwise we can kiss our hopes of unlocking The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Earth 2 goodbye. Please join the cause!
>>317658964
Yes, just mess around get a feel for the crazy ass controls and follow the guide anon posted.
>>317658964
yeah man
left half of the controller is your face
right half of the controller is your butt
have fun
>>317654025
wow thats how you guys are doing it now? i thought the ideal method was some tornado trick
>>317659308
maybe it is, do go on
>>317659053
>>317659105
>>317658964
Yeah, just don't forget to read the manual.
pressing right on the left analog stick and start at the same time brings up the stats page
>>317659308
Tornados were the caveman method I used for my first month. They're horribly inefficient and very luck-based.
I don't think it's possible for the game to generate length faster than my technique
>>317655217
I never understood what folding@home was.
Also, I'm not big on the idea of leaving my PS3 on overnight. That noise would bug the hell out of me. I need absolute quiet and absolute darkness to sleep
is there a way to guarantee the x2015 multiplier?
Is there ingame footage of Pluto? I can only seem to find the video where GIRL reaches it.
>>317660228
nope but it happens like 8/10 times
>>317660228
I haven't not got it in months and the only thing I can think of I'm really doing is just not submitting several times in one day.
>>317660352
Not yet, no. How about you make some?
>>317658964
One thing to keep in mind:
This is a game in which you can eat the background music.
>>317659973
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_folding
By running billions upon billions upon billions of simulations on proteins taking form, it helps to understand how things can go wrong and turn into disease or cancer, or how exactly chemicals turned into life in the first place.

Could be a nod, but I think he'd be more explicit about it since he has posted explicitly about it a few times in recent memory

He probably just hasn't heard the good news.

BUT THE SUN IS IN THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE DIRECTION
GIRL TURNED AROUND AND STARTED HEADING BACK?
>>317665903
yes
the distance from pluto to the sun is further than the distance from earth to pluto
>>317666112
So it's going to be like eight years until the next "planet" (even though it's not a planet this time) is reached?
Will the servers even still be up then?
>>317645873I have no idea what this means.
There's a multiplier now, right?
I think I might join in.
>>317646781
It took like a year and a half to reach Pluto, maybe longer.
Unless the community starts going ham, we won't ever see the sun because I'm positive the servers will go down before then.
>>317666408
does this help?
>>317666448
is there an expected time for the servers to shut down?
>>317666281
>(even though it's not a planet this time)
Won't we finally befriend Mercury and Venus along the way?

the only thing for sure is the ps3 online ever shutting down (which will still be awhile maybe). as for bamco themselves it's not known at all.

Nah, not even close. So long as PS3 versions of COD/Madden/etc continue exist its online will continue unabated.
>>317667204
I'm not so sure that's so. Lots of games still come out for the system with online components. I think, especially because PS4 can never really do PS3 compatibility, they'll have them on for a while yet.

Niggers please, you don't know shit about Sony. For all the hate they get around here, they're known for supporting their hardware for longer than anyone else in the business.
I mean hell, Sony JUST announced last week that they're ending Betamax support in March of next year.
>>317668864
Just bought the game, how do you get to 6m unstretched?
How long you think it's gonna take to get to the Sun? 4 years?
>>317669010
They have a 10-year lifespan for all platformsexcept Vita
And PS3 is nearly 10 years old.
>>317669148
Eat, and eat, and eat. Size doesn't matter, amount of objects eaten does.
>>317669010
personally I'm not saying it's gonna end tomorrow, but it is the just the only possibility this could go down to our knowledge. It's really hard to say since the 360/PS3 era was the start of online networks so there's no gauge of their lifespans yet.

>>317669463
stop holding down the click sticks? thats how you shrink
>>317669463
Just keep eating. Girth isn't attained by having things in you but just eating to gain weight/size

Nov 11 2006 was it's JP release, so lets go off of that. We have just barely under a year then til the 10 year mark.
6 Trillion to go, and Anon above posted a Optimal method for 2 Billion per day per person.
6T/2B = 3000. Entirely too long for one person.
10 people doing this every single day puts it at just under a year. 30 people puts it at about 3 months. If we had 100 people doing it every day 2B a day for the next month, we'd be done in just one month.
There's still the Sun - Mercury, Venus, Earth return trip, but that's chump change compared to the current journey back to the Sun.

Every planet has different objects and other properties to play with. It's just a physics sandbox pretty much. Set your own goals or just mess around. It's also the perfect psychedelics game because there's zero stress or pressure and it's hilarious and colourful.

That's a bit to much to ask of me. PS3's still my main place for games and watching videos after all and leaving it running all night while I sleep and day while I'm at work is a no-go. To get to a million would take about 8 hours or so which just isn't happening.

Twenty minutes or so. Running around and eating things is fun, so is getting faster and faster with greater mastery of the difficult controls

>I want to see GIRL connect the solar system in friendship
I wanted that to happen back when the game was still "pure", before multipliers were a thing. Then they were introduced but were often small, and rarely encountered. Now they're guaranteed and huge. Yet strangely less and less people play. The solar systems been all but abandoned. There is no friendship or community to be found any longer.

I'm buying a PS3 this weekend exclusively to help out again. I haven't played in forever, and I really hope to be in the top 100 again. I'm actually really excited to play a game again.

The game title was weird and Jap sounding. I had no idea what it was until someone mentioned it again later.
>>317681082
I have spent a day talking to people who are huge fans of this game and felt a sense of community
>>317670791
It's the comfiest PS3 game. Also the idea of being a top contributor to a gargantuan space-worm's travel from planet to planet is kind of enticing, not to mention the feeling of working together to complete a huge, daunting task over fourteen years.
>>317681082
I'm glad someone else feels this way.
We should push to have multipliers disabled for the flight to the Sun. A full pure straight run to the end. It could be like 20 years before we make it, and when we do it'll be huge.
>>317681761
PSN would die before that ever happened. If anything, the new ratio has only fostered a tighter sense of teamwork and community between the people still playing.

It's a weird control scheme but it actually works very well.
I have this game, might get my roomates to autism it with me.

Yeah that would make it feel like a true gaming achievement and something neat to be a part of.
>>317681989
>PSN would die before that ever happened.
Not likely unless Sony goes out of business. PSN PSP, PS3, PSV, PS4, are all the same PSN.
>>317680298
I'm still astounded it took this long to get screenshot support on systems without an external device. It's the simplest thing ever yet it lets you share things with other people so easily.

Wait a minute
Will I still be able to transfer Classics with my PS3?
>>317682819
That's the PS Store, not PSN itself. And as of yet, it's Europe-only. There are still PSP games which can be played online. You can still access your account management and download history in order to download games/demos/themes you got for the PSP. In Japan and North America you can do all of that and still access the PS Store.

They've shut down features in the past and they'll continue shutting down features in the future. Did someone hit you on the heador are you that desperate to dicksuck Sony that you will abandon the universally understood concept of entropy?

>>317683737
>analog camera in a game where both analog sticks are used to move the character simultaneously
It was a genius move and it's smooth as butter.
Probably the single best use of SIXAXIS across the entire console. Very responsive.
I just wish I could invert the Y axis

This game was intended to sell millions of copies, be supported with patches for years, and the individual sense of scaling was designed around that. We were meant to reach our destinations far sooner, if anything.
>>317683285
What semantics are you talking about? One region stopped bothering to update its store and you're calling the entire systems internet connection dead? They shutdown an app, not the service itself. Did you not have a PSP at launch? It had online games... yet it lacked a store!
For crying out loud, man. It wasn't until October 2008, nearly 4 years after the system launched, that PSN accounts, the store, and all that comes with it were added to the PSP. Yet here in 2015, practically 11 years post-launch you can buy things from the store, access your various account functions, and play games online on the PSP of all things.
So is this game still about stretching and making things sit on you?
Did anything ever liven it up a bit?
>>317683737
>>Custom Soundtracks
>say what now?
Press PS button while in game. Move over to music section of XMB. Select from any music you have stored there. Return to game.
>>317683996
Well, when the game first launched, we did hit Moon, Mars and I believe Jupiter fairly fast. Like within the first month or something.
>>317683789
>>317683976
>It was a genius move and it's smooth as butter.
yeah it works great until your BOY is long as fuck, and then it automatically starts zooming out to space when you stretch, unless you constantly hold down R1 the entire time which is pretty damn annoying
not to mention if do you multiplayer than everything is completely fucked to hell

This and a new Katamari game need to be released on the Wii asap.
Would also accept a Vita Katamari that isn't shit.
>>317684572
The Wii is dead, also that sounds awful, the controls of both of these games are designed around symmetrical dual analog sticks
>>317684370
>>317684426
I mean I still love the game overall, but the wonky camera is the one thing I don't like about it.
>>317684156
Oh snap! I've had it for years and never knew you could do that. That's pretty cool.
>>317684572

Takahashi and Namco have burnt their bridges, and Noby Noby Boy was a sales failure.

From the creator of a cult game, an even more bizarrely experimental game exclusively on PSN.
I don't believe that they expected a huge hit.

ANONS IM ABOUT TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS GAME TO MY PS3
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW AND WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
WHAT SHOULD I DO IN ORDER TO HELP THIS get to the fucking sun
>>317685528
>WHAT SHOULD I KNOW AND WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
It's a complete sandbox. There is no goal (outside of stretching), only weird and randomly generated maps.
Make sure you read up on the controls, because they're fucking weird. Use Select to read the manual.

There's an optimal strat here

Follow this. To get that big walk around holding down L2 about half way to continuously eat everything in your path. After you're really fat take your left stick and right stick and stretch yourself out as far as you can.
Then idle and hope you don't get a power outage or something.
>>317685528
"There is an x2015 multiplier applied to almost all submissions. Take this into account. Game the RNG until you find a house with a bowl cut haircut. Eat either stretched or unstretched until you reach 6m unstretched (unstretched length is a measurement of girth) then stretch to 1200-1400m. Game the RNG until you land on a map that is thin, ideally slanted in some way where the house is, and the house needs to be on a corner area too so BOY falls off over and over and over again. Smaller platforms are ideal because you don't get stuck as easily. Avoid thick platforms due to BOY severing by clipping through the ground. If we get several people doing this a day, submitting 2 to 4 billion a day (1-2 million before multiplier), we could make it within the next year! We need several people doing this daily leaving their PS3 on overnight otherwise we can kiss our hopes of unlocking The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Earth 2 goodbye. Please join the cause and don't forget to read the manual by pressing Select so you know what the hell you're doing and how to access the relevant menus. Godspeed!"

First explore the game for an hour or however long you want, and then when you're ready to quit, do what these anons >>317685729 >>317685808 linked in the youtube video and leave your playstation running.

IS IT A PROBLEM IF MY PS# HAS ISSUES CONNECTING TO PSN?
IT WILL STILL CONNECT BUT ONLY VIA UNRELIABLE SPOOFING DUE TO MY PS3 BEING A DEBUG UNIT WHICH IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON PSN AT ALL
IF IT CAN BE BRIEF CONNECTIONS I GOT YOU BUT LENGTHY ONES LIKELY WILL BE HARD (its the unit itself, not the internet i have. its a shame really)
THANK YOU ANON, ILL BE LOOKING INTO THIS
>>317685808
>You should know the game is pointless and confusing.
THATS LITERALLY ALL I WORK WITH SO I PROBABLY HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF IT EVEN THOUGH I REALLY SHOULDNT
>>317686091
IS IT OKAY IF I ALSO PLAY THE GAME BECAUSE I WANT TO?
FURTHERMORE IS IT PLAYABLE WITHOUT SIXAXIS CONTROLS BECAUSE FUCK THAT NOISE
>>317686170
You only need to be connected when you turn your length in.
So like a 30 second connection whenever you decide to turn in.
Using the method, that's like once every hour or so for 100K
>>317686170
I wouldn't see any problem with brief connections for submitting score, you don't have to maintain a constant connection
>>317686170
>IS IT A PROBLEM IF MY PS# HAS ISSUES CONNECTING TO PSN
That's fine. It will save the length you collect while you're offline, and then you can upload it to GIRL whenever you have a connection.
>IS IT OKAY IF I ALSO PLAY THE GAME BECAUSE I WANT TO?
I don't know what this means.
>FURTHERMORE IS IT PLAYABLE WITHOUT SIXAXIS CONTROLS BECAUSE FUCK THAT NOISE
how the fuck are you using your PS3 without one?
>>317686253
>So like a 30 second connection whenever you decide to turn in.
IF I TURN IN ONCE EVERY WEEK OF NONSTOP LENGTHENING WOULD THAT BE BETTER?
>>317686289
PERFECT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, ONCE EVERY HOUR OR ONCE EVERY WEEK (or few days)
ITS 2AM WITH NOTHIGN TO DO AND I HAVE HAD LITERALLY NOTHING TO DO TODAY
>>317686170
>IS IT PLAYABLE WITHOUT SIXAXIS
Yes
But if you want to control the camera at all then no.
Also cool your caps chap
>>317686361
Doesn't matter when you turn in.
Literally whenever is fine. If you want to let NNB idle for a fucking month and then turn in however billion meters you have, that's fine.

>>317686531
>WIRED PS3 THIRD PARTY CONTROLLER
Oh okay. Well I don't know difficult it will be to control the camera without sixaxis, but I guess you'll find out. You should still be able to control it somewhat by alternating between holding down and pressing L1, R1, and the directional buttons in different combinations.
