When do YOU think its coming out?
My best guess is Spring-Summer 2015 since we've only seen about 6mins of "gameplay" total
>>249101813
Why would you care ?
It's just..
What am I supposed to be looking forward to?
Is there something you do in this game that I can't do in another game?
Not understanding the hype.
>>249101813

That's about as deep as the game is going to be.
>>249102237

>>249101813
If it's coming out that early it'll be a pallette swap extravaganza with maybe a half dozen sets of stuff to choose from.
If they're really good they'll be able to implement a Spore creature creator Lite to mix and match animals for you.
who knows, never maybe? they havent shown any actual in-game footage yet
>>249102386
But thats not true at all.
>>249102662
Then, why everybody discovered this "game" (it's a tech demo, that's it) only after the Sony conference ?
>>249102237
It's Minecraft with substantially better graphics in a science fiction setting, and you can take off in a spaceship and seamlessly fly into space and then on to other worlds without loading screens.
>>249102789
not like theres anything to load in space other than the skybox
eve has done this for years now
>>249102789
I guess people like minecraft. That makes slightly more sense.
>>249102789
They have not confirmed any building mechanics. Comparing it to Minecraft wouldn't make it look good anyways
>>249102779
I've been following for at least half a year now.
>>249102282
Sure seems that way, everything released plus the hype points toward a HUUUGE disappointment.
Especially with the guy who made it, he said the gameplay videos were "accidental" or "entirely random" yet the game happened to do everything it had within 3mins per trailer
the idea that theres no hands-on gameplay yet is a big sign of trouble or CG "visual representational" modeling ala Killzone 2 or
Motorstorm.
I'd love to call their bluff on all these claims, especially the trade/economy/random/stores/ship upgrade/mining/dino/dogfighting/clan features
seems like too many claims and zero evidence so far.
its like posting gameplay of minesweeper and then making up some shit about "customizable mines" or "special upgrades", lots of consumers dont get that just because A claim=True, doesnt mean B claim=True.
>>249103056
You, but not 99% of the people who are hyped for it. Just look at the forums.
>>249102789
And less things to do.
>>249102896
>eve has done this for years now
Is it really possible for someone to be so ignorant that they would post this?
No, must be a joke of some sort.
>>249102975
There is a spot in the opening trailer (e3, not the debut in 2013)where you can see individual cubes available for mining, however Im not sure if this is throughout or only in particular parts of the randomly built worlds/locations
>>249103357

>>249103481
The idea that Eve online has planetary surface flight is false. That's all I'm saying.
What's impressive about seamless loading isn't that it can load space, but that it can load the planet.

Space Engine is very impressive indeed, but it has no game to it.
NMS appears to improve on that aspect, though it's arguable that it will have a universe generator of comparable quality.
The last good game that had this feature was in the Elite series waaaaay back when. Which is why I'm also hyped for the new game, even though its planet engine isn't coming until some kind of xpac.
>>249104164
>Space Engine is very impressive indeed, but it has no game to it.

Then find a game now-available game from after the year 2000 that has both, cause that is all that matters to me in this context.
That's what I see in NMS and Elite Dangerous. That's what "it have".
>>249104507
The goal is o reach the center of the universe.
Game starts and all the planets are earthlike, you go furter in ad it gets more and more hostile, culminating in probably some insanely hard bossfight planet at the center. Also the game has permadeath so there is that

Yes.
It's just in the "WE PROMISE GUYS", and not in the video "gameplay" yet.
>>249104895
Space Rangers 2 is a 2D game with no planetary flight.
I feel like I need to clear up what it is I'm looking for.
A 3D game with seamless transitioning planetary-space flight, with an explorable universe. And gameplay.

Doesn't look like those enemy fighters were hot shit. They were most likely the weakest-level scouts, and that's why they were going to a planet instead of fighting the player with their fleet.
>>249105037
I agree with the questionable "you can do anything" claims
But Im pretty sure combat and animals is deeply cemented in there (as far back as November reveal and details IIRC).
I cant tell if you're trolling or just poorly informed on this game so far.
>>249102789
It's Minecraft without all the terramorphing and building stuff. You know, the only fun thing to do in Minecraft

>>249105853

except we saw none of that so far.
Only promise.

>>249102789
Looks more like an interactive galactic phase they had in Spore with better graphics. Which is still fine by me.
>>249105937
Watch the gameplay video, buttchugger.

Diverse locations.

Better player mobility.

More mobs to find and kill.

This is what we haven't seen.
>>249105827
really?
Shit, so what you're saying is it's like Frontier/Elite II?
hmm....
that is kinda shitty, I wonder if there's random "villages" or "cities" or "space stations" with NPCs.
Id hate a random wilderness explorer game like Minecraft before villages/mobs
>>249106053
>with better graphics.
ugh no.
>>249106089
>it will be way better than shitcraft guyyss! It's a promise!! look at the tech demo, it's true!
Will we be able to name planets and species we discover?
>>249106206
Already, I'm interested in it. If Splatoon fanboys can get hyped over a gameplay video and an extremely limited demo, I deserve the leeway to get hyped over a gameplay video and some reasonable footage from the developer himself.
>>249106089
technically speaking terraforming is at the very least confirmed for asteroids if you have the patience to laser a house out of an asteroid belt
>>249106329
>If Splatoon fanboys
They saw actual gameplay though.
>>249106465
So did we.
>>249105853
The only thing it has in common with Minecraft is the procedurally generated world and yet, in No Man's Sky everyone share one unique seed.
>better combat
The only combat we've seen so far is flying and shooting lasers. At least in minecraft you have the option between long range and melee attacks or building traps or complex mechanisms with red stone.
>better player mobility
Okay for that one
>more mobs
We've seen like 6 kinds of mobs and among those, there were identical mobs found on different planets. The logical thing would be that each planet has unique mobs but let's get real, we know they can't code that shit.
>(potentially) no terraforming or construction
Let's not start speculating that every possible gameplay element not talked about could be in the game. If they said nothing about it, we have to assume it's not going to be there for now
>>249106171
We've seen some signs of above human intelligence life, but nothing was said about villages or cities. As for space stations, I think we've seen some in the trailers
>>249106171

>>249106206

Worlds are definitely more populated and details than Spore during the galactic phase. You can't honestly think otherwise.
>>249106594
At least, Spore didn't have uglyass filter color grading. I seriously hope you will be able to disable this in the pc version.
>>249104863
I can already tell that /v/ is gonna be a bunch of bandits that gun down any explorers they cross paths with.
>>249107012
Maybe not. I'm going to be up for bro-op with anyone who comes by. Space is one place you don't want to pick fights in.
Anyone else is annoyed by the bloom and color scheme that permeates this universe? Also, even if the atmospheres are thin as fuck, as soon as you enter in it, there is fuckton of fog. They better fix that
>>249107231
they claim infinite worlds, would there be a designated "/v/" hangout world with "/v/" animal names?
>>249107369
the annoying thing for me visually speaking is that supertight FOV. Even before the ps4 version was announced, the PC demo seemed really "binocular-y" visually speaking
>>249107420
This is not infinite at all.
They say that you start on the edge of the galaxy and as you come closer to the center, the game gets harder. If it were infinite, there would be no edge
>>249107635
wait, which anon is talking to me right now>?
is it that anon that knew nothing about the game but kept comparing it to space engine? because thats an anon not worth talking to or taking seriously

No, I'm just an anon that saw someone talk about infinite world and needed to point out it just can't be the case

(link incoming)
>>249109770
8go of supercharged ram in process.
>>249110089
Define "worlds"
If world means planet, then I maintain that it cannot be the case, not because of the space it would take memory wise, but because the map is of finite volume
>>249110089
>>249109461

For the convenience of people talking about things they dont know/understand please watch the entire video.
Within 22kb in the 80's
Max capacity of a blu-ray single layer=25gb
That's 1,191,563 times the storage capacity of the original game.
But yeah, it cant be infinite because there's no space to spare......
>>249110503
Who said definitely said it was finite?
>>249111034
The devs
An infinite 3 dimensional euclidean space has no edge and the devs said that we start on the edge of the map.

there's been a lot of shit-posting lately and same-fagging, so I have to do the ol "please prove this" demand.
Because im not going to argue with that Anon who was just making shit up until someone called his bluff.
Just gimme a link or video source that proves this. Because your claim is in direct conflict with the Dev's earlier claims and general statements/faq. In fact, here's a link to the game's official FAQ or disclosure page.
http://www.no-mans-sky.com/
I'm confused
http://no-mans-sky.com/press/sheet.php?p=no_man%27s_sky#trailers
>PARALLEL UNIVERSES: Choose to share your discoveries with other players, or not. You will never see another player, but you could make your mark on their worlds as well as your own.
Did they changed their plan, but forgot to update this page?
Shame there probably isn't completely dynamic terrain similar to what Landmark is using. Being able to construct and shape worlds like that in this game would be amazing.
I can't imagine they wouldn't consider some sort of building/terraforming being a thing, what else is there to do on planets other than admire the scenery and gather resources for the space game?
>>249111897
yep, there's too much conflicting info to really know what the game is/could be
thats why its funny hearing people ITT make up facts without even watching the trailers or reading the dev comments or news on NMS

>"[...] you start on the outside ring of it and that's a big aim for a lot of people is trying to get as far towards the center of the universe as they can."
>>249112259
building a spacestation or team-based/location based economy would be cool.
"this space station requires a michigan-faction code for entry"
(now THAT is something definitely unconfirmed)
interplanetary battles from warring websites or boards.
/a/ vs /c/
/b/ planet vs reddit planet
that'd be cool if ever considered
>>249112820
You shouldn't think about cool stuff like this. It's how hype is become disappointment. And it still looks like the devs don't fully know how the final game will looks like or play like
>>249112820
There's not going to be multiplayer in that aspect in this game. It's a singleplayer game with multiplayer aspects, but no full-on multiplayer modes.
>>249113198
It's really unsure because in recent interviews, the devs said that you can meet players. Looks like they changed their mind or somethingOr maybe they are starting to lie since they saw that people were pretty bummed about that aspect
>>249112485
this is another one of those in-conflict claims
"infinite"
vs
"outside ring"
maybe the "outside ring" isnt the same as the "edge of the universe" and instead is a median diameter.
Picture a donut, starting at the outside ring could just mean the part with the sprinkles, there's more to both ends of the ring but still with a middle and a ring
that's the logical compromise for an argument in which neither of us know which statement is correct
but in my opinion it'd be weird to spawn as default at the border of an invisible wall when you're advertising "infinite worlds"
>>249113198
they said it would be like journey with MP, but admittedly a really bad MMO.
Does nobody read the links I post?

>Even though there will be other human players exploring the same universe, you won't bump into them very often. "You can meet and get an idea of other players, but the universe is very vast, basically, so the chances of you actually coming across someone are pretty slim," says Murray. "We're not trying to make an MMO, or if we are, we're making a really terrible MMO, because everyone is spread so far apart." It's not a game that you pick up to play with your friends, he says. The closest approximation he can come up with is Journey, where players could cross paths with other players, but don't deliberately play "with" them.
>>249113903
>they said it would be like journey with MP
Yuk, I fail to see how it's supposed to be good.
>>249113629
What I think is the case is that the galaxy they are talking about is sitting somewhere in an infinite space of big nothing. Just like GTA maps are sitting in an infinite ocean. It's technically infinite and it doesn't invalidate all they said about starting on the outside ring.
>>249113075

W-why are you talking about squids, Anon? I-I'm just saying to be cautious with your expectations, you don't have to yell at me
>>249114178
Could be, however GTA V didnt advertise so outright with the concept of "infinity" which stands to reason that NMS is going to do something to address such a claim or feature
>>249114595
They are a small indie team, they have to try real hard to appeal to people without lying. It's just marketing.
>>249114345

But I was not talking about Splatoon, keep this for Splatoonfags. As far as I'm concerned, overhyping is bad no matter the game.
