Are there games that convey well the true horror and vastness of deep space?

No, no games that do this except maybe the scale of the Reapers.

Conceptually, the only way you can portray 'the vastness of deep space' is too explore it.
As such, not a lot of games are going to meet your criteria. There are games that take place in space and games that have beings from space but almost none that focused on the scale of it.
Your best bet is to contemplate your mortality while playing Space Simulator, jerk off, cry, watch reruns of Seinfeld, eat Ramen and go to bed like I do.
Space Engine simulates the sizes well, but it's only as scary as you make it.
>millions of light years
>the human mind isn't equipped to handle this conceptually
It would be really hard to convey the vastness of space because you can only scratch at the surface of how huge it actually is.

There is nothing in depths of space or at the bottoms of the sea that is unconceivable by human imagination. Even Lovecraftian universe can only be depicted as Escher meets Squid.
Surrealists tackled this problem long time ago. Human imagination is limited to Earthly forms. Best you can do is make amalgams, and if your imagination is infantile, you might get scared.

>>318186590
The human mind isn't designed for these kind of distances.
For example, if you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the earth seven times in one second. Meanwhile, it take four entire minutes to reach the sun at light speed. That distance alone is insane, and that's only to the sun. We haven't even talked about leaving the solar system yet.
Fuck space, fuck deep space, fuck the universe.
If one is to assume space is finite, a pretty cool concept for a horror game would be getting teleported outside the boundaries of space.
Have the entire game be filled with imagery and concepts that are beyond human comprehension. Every step of the way in game you're presented with questions that you can't answer.
Have all the enemies look like grotesque impossible Eldritch monstrosities.
In terms of plot, somehow convey that non space is slowly consuming space and the players job is to stop it.Then you end up back on earth, but everything has stopped working. Natural disasters are occurring everywhere and everyone's gone completely insane/spoiler]You killed God and destroyed Heaven. The dead have nowhere to go.

you could warp between 2 binary stars by accident.
Your ship can overheat really quick and shutting systems down on your ship can salve the problem, but since you shut down your frame shift drive you cant move at all. So you are stuck between 2 huge hot balls of hydrogen and helium forever. There's also black holes that sometimes you don't see them until you're too close.

The correct answer is space engine. With a minor problem of it not being a real game, even by walking simulators standards.
I started next to earth, I flew to the moon. Then I explored planets at random. I was looking for Neptune, I found it I locked to it, but I guess I missclicked and locked to nearby star. After I noticed that I already flew several light-years, I realized my mistake. I turned back but I was no longer able to find home. I clicked at dozens of stars with no luck, then I started flying from one to another, in hopeless attempt to get closer to home. I had a real scare attack, and I rarely get any emotion from video games.
After I realized that there is no way back, I explored our galaxy, and holy shit its huge. Eventually I even lost my way to Milkyway and just set out looking for new colonizable planet on some random galaxy.
Nowadays I know that there are search function, how to better track your location, player also no longer gets spawned next to earth, but my first time with space engine was very memorable.

Because nothing is "beyond human comprehension"
Astrophysicists work on this kind of stuff daily, for them imagining the large scale (in both size and time) of the universe isn't hard, because they are used to it and can relate things better. For us common folk it seems impossible.
It's just that these kinds of concepts don't come by in our day-to-day life so we find them weird, complex, orout of this world
Each atom contains infinite space.
There is no scale.
There are millions of universes in any given skin cell on any human.
Everything we see is made of infinite nothingness.

As you can see by comparison to the galaxy on the picture they aren't.
Does anybody have that comic of the guy who gets abducted by aliens in his sleep, gets eaten, has his body regenerated by aliens so they can keep eating him and the constant regeneration gets to the point where he looks like an alien, then goes back to earth to his house and ends up seeing himself as a human?
>>318183534
I had entially hoped that no mans sky might scratch that itch, but the more i see the more mundane it looks.
Hopefully the technology will be solid and lead to spinoffs with a more elaborate horror themes.
> scanning a nearby cluster around a dwarf star for valuable minerals.one planet reads huge levels of organic matter but no lifeforms. You investigate or you don't, plenty more out there. Landing on the planet out of curiosity only to find it entirely enhabitated by large, sentient blobs of protein that all shift to look exactly like you, they turn hostile, you blast or beam your way out and swear never to go to that quadrant again.
>>318190712
That's my point. No game has done what can be done with yet, either because they're fucking lazy, or they're way too afraid to even try to make it.
Imagine being given a space suit with enough food, water, and oxygen to last you 3 days and a gun with a single shot in it. Your comm link is forced open, so you can't turn it off. You can use it, but no one will hear you. You are then loaded up and jettisoned out towards the blackness of space, beyond where anyone is willing to go.
Try to picture this and understand this is the most basic and entry level space horror you can do, and not a single fucking video game has ever once tapped into it without you just doing flips in space or falling into an immediate game over screen.

You have no imagination.
The further you travel in the universe, the older everything gets. Incomprehensibly old stars, long dead planets and whatever horrors could lie beyond the observable universe are a great setting for space horror.
Nevermind that if the universe keeps accelerating and expanding forever it could end in the so called "Big Rip". Probably the most desolate end-of-the-universe scenarios.

That's interesting and all, but the only way to never, ever find an end to the universe is to keep playing, meaning that content gets sparse and either dries up or begins repeating.

wasn't there a black hole mission in one colony wars? maybe the second one I don't remember.
Anybody else kind of hoping the apocalypse happens in their lifetime?
Death is inevitable, you may as well be in the closing scene.

Not the guy calling you names, but the point of my original statement is that if it were possible to move at the speed of light, all relativistic effects of time would vanish.
On top of that, the point of the planes is that they confirm that relative velocity affects the passage of time.
That contradicts your original statement about moving at the speed of light not buying you anything. ON top of that gravity can distort space and allow you to move through a smaller dimension than before.

Keep starving, babby. Just don't delude yourself into thinking you know what you're talking about.
Damn you people, I downloaded KSP and started playing it for the first time in my life. Time to feel completely pathetic as I have no idea what I'm doing.
>>318197024
Because the speed is something like 1 divided by (10-warp factor). The closer you get to 10, the bigger the number gets.

considering you could even survive the lead up to such an event
as soon as you put your arm into the event horizon, to your eyes it'll look like it's completely paralized and it'll shift color to red until it's completely black and disappears, meanwhile your arm inside the event horizon would slowly or quickly idk start suffering the spaghettification effect breaking your atoms
you wouldn't be able to feel it because the electric signals of your body don't travel faster than light, but you'd die of blood loss (taking all other deaths such as freezing, radiation, gravitational pull, etc out of the equation)

And I say it's as long as my dick, but the only difference is Aristotle lived a long time ago when there were like 8 people on earth so everyone decided to keep his shit around cuz he could read and write, and I'm just some putz on the internet. Now who you gonna believe?

Elite doesn't have coasting. Star's are exlusively jump from one to the next, which requires fuel.
In fact at least one guy has tried just pointing himself at a star and super-cruising to it, making sure he had enough fuel and constantly making sure he's on course.
The star didn't load. They only load when you supercruise.

>if it were possible to move at the speed of light
Is that really a statement that makes sense?
The thing about singularities like the ones that come up in your equations if you start talking about this stuff is that you can't really get any useful information out of them, isn't it? Your gamma factor becomes sqrt(1-1) and you can't really do anything with that.
>>318183534
Play space engine. It's technically not a game, but it's probably the closest you'll get to truly experiencing the vastness of space. If you set your velocity to the speed of light, which is the fastest we can travel through space, then you'll realize how vast the universe is and how little of it we'll ever see let alone explore. Enjoy your existential crisis anon.
>>318198042
>sqrt(1-1)
Uh, 1/sqrt(1-1), obviously.
>>318188057
well those look horrifying
>>318198042
Only in the sense of what time dilation is, however you are being dismissive of the underlying point which is that space is fabrication to anyone that lives well below the speed of light. Also since the lorenz factor is infinite, the point is the time literally stops existing. Which once again ties back into the notion that space as we think of it is merely a fabrication

So I've never thought about this exactly, but why are smaller parts of the universe so organized while it becomes more chaotic the larger scale the picture is? I mean the solar system, and milky way both have some symbiotic relationship.
>>318197895
can confirm. stars in elite exist in separate cells that require a dignified jump to reach. cruise is incapable.
it was fun trying way back when though. stars in galactic center are very close together.
>>318198230
Yep, the scale of space engine can actually get pretty tense
Not to mention...

Invisible wall, Bethesda still hasn't figured out a way to make it subtle yet
If we're ever going to have a colony on Mars or the Moon, we need bigger launch vehicles.
The Apollo-era Saturn V could take ~130 tons to Earth orbit.
The Shuttle could manage ~25 tons.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 can manage like 13 tons.
We're not going forward, we're going backwards.
Fuck the ISS, NASA is literally spending its budget sending food and collecting poop from it right now, it's contributing nothing to the future of humanity's survival anymore.

Even a fundamental acquaintance of what the many-worlds theorem means will suffice. The universe is already established as non-recurrent, so the universal wavefunction x(r,t) holds for all experimental and theoretical cases.
Except.
The t is redundant. The r never repeats itself. The unique function is x is essentially a unique function of r - with every instant, the universe is expanding, getting a little bigger. You don't need t to keep track of what's happening.

It would have been interesting if he'd actually found something and it became a race against the reapers to secure his findings during 3...It's like he fell off the face of the universe after 1 though.

I know space is inherently, by fucking definition, OBVIOUSLY one million times more dangerous.
However, as far as pure fear goes, deep sea will always scare me more
>>318199379
There were so many tantalizing hints about the reapers back in ME1. The game really rewarded players that took the time to explore every single system and planet with great tidbits of lore like that. There's another about archaeological remains of a eons-old dead civilization that spontaneously died of mysterious causes, and another system with a gas giant that supposedly houses a machine brain underneath its surface. So many great little things that would have been completely ignored by the majority of the playerbase. Stuff that neo-bioware would never do.
And it all got thrown in the trash.
>>318199521
it just means it isn't actively eating up a nearby steller object.
It's like volcanos, the difference between a dormant and active one is that one isn't actively shitting out molten rock and super-heated ash and gasses.

It's logarithmic with 10 being infinity.
