Is there a point to being hyped for No Man's Sky?
Honestly it looks like it can be a few hours of decent fun. The visuals alone just look pretty appealing.
But I doubt it's something that could actually give you dozens of hours of worth of content, despite them constantly telling us how vast the universe supposedly is.
>>322459846
...Is there point in living?
No and no.
>>322459975
>despite them constantly telling us how vast the universe supposedly is.
Yeah, they're just Roberts-ing.
>>322459846
I'm bummed there's only single seater ships. I want to walk around my ship and have it be like a mobile home.
>>322459846
It looks comfy as hell tbqhwyf
>>322460197
>le comfy
Try some real praise.
Back when dwarf fortress was a thing, people wanted more, people wanted 3d.
We got Minecraft and millions played and praised, but people wanted more out of it aswell.
We are getting No Mans Sky this year, the game that will sell millions of copies, and people will want more.
The game looks promising, the creator seems passionate, and they seem to deliver (unlike star memezen).
Wether or not it will be a borefest or not it will remain to be seen
TLDR: can be a generation defining game, and probably will.
It'll be great for exploring for autists like me
>>322460197
comfy is just codeword for boring.
>>322460510
Literally the only thing those games have in common is being procedurally generated.
>>322459846
I smell the second coming of Spore with this one.
>>322460510
>Back when dwarf fortress was a thing
But it's still a thing
>>322459846
Because the Hype will be the best part of the game.
>>322459846
I already got bored as shit with Just Cause because I spent most of my time just running around doing nothing to get to a location where something fun was happening.
I simply cannot see myself enjoying NMS
This game has been at so many shows for the past while and I still haven't seen anything that I felt was there to make me want to play it. I don't see the appeal of exploring a nigh-infinitre procedurally generated universe, because I don't feel like I'd find anything. Why would I find anything that matters or is interesting? What do I do? Boy, all these orbs sure are different, I guess. Does this entire game exist to appeal to the sorts of people who salivate whenever they hear a game is Different Every Time You Play and spend their off time comparing open world game map sizes? Who cares?
I think people are overhyping it, but it looks like a fun game. Hopefully there is more to the gameplay than just flyign around exploring.
>>322460690
There's more than that, they are generation defining games that surpassed creatively and technologically, what was possible/what wasn't being done properly at the time.
Sure many tried, sure x copied y, but people still play these games, and they will be played by millions for years to come.
The industry evolves, we went from ascii to ugly 3d blocks and now it's time for No Mans Sky to prove itself.
Looks like Hazeron without the shitty graphics or empire building.
>>322460757
Not sure who said it, but there's a quote saying something like
>People are the happiest when they think about their future happiness.
>>322459846
Well, if you're not, you're not. That's how it is.
I'm personally looking forward to it, and can't wait to waste hours of having the comfiest fun.
>>322461134
What do you consider le comfy about it? Warm colors like dark orange?
>>322460837
>I don't see the appeal of exploring a nigh-infinitre procedurally generated universe, because I don't feel like I'd find anything.
Then the game isn't for you and the guy making it has been very up front about that if you can't see the fun in molding your own experience/roleplaying and exploring you probably won't like it very much.
As somebody who spent hours in minecraft not doing anything but exploring the terrain being generated and making outposts at stuff I thought was cool, this is a perfect game for me.
>>322460621
this nigga knows
>>322459846
just imagin playin it with VR
*orgasm*
>>322461251
The fact that you could be stuck on a planet for hours compiling every data available, just for the fuck of it
I want to destroy planets too
>>322461762
yeah like a star wars star destroyer

>>322460510
>>322460872
You're a fucking idiot if you think the game won't be dead in a month.
>>322461590
Are they adding any kind of Rift compatability? This is the kind of shit i bought my DK2 for.
>>322461958
Most likely, yeah.
>>322461981
Destroy planets? You can, though to be fair, they only showed destruction on the surface, we'll see.
>>322462019
At its barebones, FPS' are just point and click, RPGs are mostly spreadsheets management, and so on; but you know there's more to it than that, don't you?
Look, I'm not saying it's the GOTY for 2016, far from it, but it's the kind of game I see myself spending hours playing while enjoying myself.
This comes from a guy who played NFS Rivals as a police and only doing sightseeing while driving a la Outrun, so there's that.
>>322462373
right...
and we all know how much we loved math back in school
I still don't get what the point of the game is. Whats the goal, and whats the point in 'exploring'?
>>322462472
possible idk
but they make it compat. for VR
>>322462597
What´s the point of Maincrah?
>>322459975
I don't doubt the vastness of the universe but I suspect it's a bit empty universe. What's the point in size if it's essentially "I've seen 20 planets so I've seen them all".
>>322462715
young children to become famous on youtube
>>322460510
The difference is that minecrat was rather novel, being one of the first proper games of it's type, as well as very accessible and simple enough that kids could pick it up.

This game isn't massive multiplayer is it?
I think it would be cool if there were so many worlds that was almost impossible to visit all of them.... People could make little houses on remote worlds and it would be like an adventure to find the pockets of people
>>322462546
You didn't? Are you black?
No gameplay, no game.
>>322463125

>>322463186
>gameplay = find the middle
>game= no mans sky
I personally dont get the hype. There are tons of games out already that create random procedual things already that you can roam around and explore. The only thing that makes this game different is that it was shown at an e3 presentation. Everything that they've shown so far is just...whatever. It doesn't look impressive and the idea isn't original or new or even innovative.
>>322463368
well its the first game this scale
>>322459846
Yeah.

At least it's coming out, unlike Scam Citizen.
>>322463792
>implying this game wont come out
>>322463447
its all randomly generated though... theres no real "scale"
>>322463957
wich is impressive ...
Has there been anything more than a couple vertical slice videos?
>>322464139
yes
I bet you it hasn't been released yet because Sony gave them too much exposure just to release a fancy walking simulator. They're probably adding actual gameplay as we speak.
>>322463957
It's not random. Everyone gets the same seed.
>>322464381
no i dont think so
this game is to complex to have this
>>322464012
no its not, there are already so many games that do this
>>322459846
It's bland as hell,the weapons sounds like trash, planets are ok, "multiplayer"
The only worth thing about it is the fact that the number of planets is almost infinite
It's like a multiplanetary minecraft
>>322459846
>always online game that refuses to allow you to coop with friends
>>322460510
There is literally not one thing innovative about NMS
And for the record, I play to buy the game, but you are utterly retarded
>>322464943
BUT DUDE IT'S RANDOMLY GENERATED SCALE SO FTFHT EUNIVERSE SO FUCKING COOL
>>322463078
It isn't possible to visit them all.
They straight up said, if you were to visit each planet for 1 second it would take 5 billion years to visit them all.
Also it is multiplayer, sorta.
Its possible to see other people, but there re so many planets it will apparently be a very very rare thing, as each person starts out on a different planet in a different part of the universe.
>>322463078
Technically, it is multiplayer
But in practice, it hardly is.
There may be 10,000 players all standing on the exact same point on the same planet, and at best you will see 1 or 2 of them, because the servers will restrict how many you can see at once.
You also cannot group up with, or find, your friends or any individual in particular. Basically players exist as a trick, to make you think that any ship flying around could be a player and not just another blank NPC.
>>322464139
Some people have gotten to play it now.
Greg Miller was someone who was pretty outspoken about how he thought the game would be nothing, but after playing it he says he gets it now and is looking forward to it.
>>322465065
Sounds like Journey
>>322463078
>I think it would be cool if there were so many worlds that was almost impossible to visit all of them
It is impossible to visit them all, as it is in ED, and many other games
In fact literally any space game or procedurally generated game can boast about having an infinite or number so large one lifetime could not cover them all marketing bullshit slogan.
>>322459846
O have high hopes for No Man's Sky. And I mostly know that it is not going to deliver. I'll get it anyway.
>>322465352
Not in the slightest, if you are connected to the net you will almost always be matched with someone in Journey, you will just know nothing about them besides that its someone else playing.
>>322459846
>Chromatic aberration

>>322459846
What do you do in this game?

This is all I ever want in every space sim and there's far too little that actually do it
>>322460021

Do it.
>>322465502
You fly to a RNG planet, dig up minerals/identify+name animals/look at points of interest/trade to get money to upgrade your ship to fly further to get onto RNG planets to dig up minerals/identify+name animals/look at points of interest/trade to get money to upgrade your ship to fly further to get onto RNG planets
Can I play with friends though?
>>322459846
>being hyped over noctis v
eh
>>322459846
No
But if you like SE, then probably yes, kinda. I don't expect anything out of the game, other than occasional comfy sessions where I explore for a bit, trying to find nice places and shit. If you want to play this for more than 1 hour per session - you gonna be dissapointed.
So will EVERY planet be populated and full of life?
Because that would be boring as fuck.
>>322459846
No.
I mean I am curious about it, but I don't see why I should be hyped really.
It's an exploration game in space where you can land on planets, but what you can do and interact with hasn't really been shown.
You can fire at other ships, and the game lands automatically for you so meh. Doesn't seem like there will be too much skill to put in, just a nice comfy ride for everyone in the family.
I've never been hyped by a flight simulator.
Flying a plane in battlefield 1942 was awesome though.
>>322467601
>but what you can do and interact with hasn't really been shown
It was shown. I would say about 80-90% of the game has been shown. There's just fucking nothing to it.
>>322467086
Noctis was the shit, and I loved the community that always updated their discoveries, to find common points.
I can only hope this game has the same level of participation from the community
>>322459846
Not anymore I have to admit. Procedural games with seamless landings are releasing left and right. Elite horizon blew my mind lately.
>>322467713
Fair enough.
I just have some hope that there's more to the game than firing planes, autolanding and walking around on pretty planets.
>>322459846
croma Croma FUCKING CROMA !!!!
DIE IN HELL.
what do you actually do in the game?
>>322467850
That would require something more than math, and devs already confirmed there wouldn't be any quests of some sorts. Which would be fine if NMS had any sort of end-game, but it surely doesn't because it would not correlate well with the whole idea of the game.
>>322467908
I hope you can turn it off
>>322467819
well this would be all online, so i'd imagined there would be more in-game participation.
however since the participation would be automatic, it would probably be less involved.
>>322460937
That quote is 100% wrong though.
>>322468201
Explain you reasoning.
>>322467980
Tbh I'm not quite sure what I'd want out of the game.
There's no real multiplayer right?
Yes because No Man's Sky will actually come out, unlike Scam Citizen.
>>322459846
Hype is a disease. Don't let them infect you with it.
>>322459846
>literally a 3D Starbound
Nope, this time I'm not going to fell for it.
>>322467446
No, just 10% of the planets will have life. Most worlds are either airless moons or toxic without a proper suit.

>chuckleshit
What game are you referring to?
>>322468294
They've been rather secretive about multiplayer. They kinda say that you can meet other players, but always add that it's not the whole point of the game etc. They've been sorta comparing this to Journey and DeS/DaS, so you can expect some backwards interpretation. I dunno, maybe they mean something else by it.
There's also a possibility that there would not be any multiplayer component other than "I've discovered this first!" markings during the launch.
>>322468634
I think hes talking about Starbound, the letdown of the century and sworn nemesis of the 4channel board /v/
>>322468634
starbound
>>322468789
>>322468791
Ah, okay. I wasn't following that game closely, but I did saw initial hype threads and then all the disappointment.
>>322468851
The game is not good, but it's not half-bad. Worth taking a quick look. It's just a far cry from Terraria
There's no reason the game won't be good, considering shitposter have been lying about it since it was announced (because apparently daring to do a space game where planet colonization isn't the endgoal is a mortal sin), and now they're reduced to complains about the grass.
Does anyone else shit on this game just to dull other people's expectations? I just don't want anybody to ever experience a second Spore.;_;
its a shame this wont be a good game
it'd be kinda cool if it was, you know?
>>322460510
Delusional as fuck if you actually think that this game could come anywhere near the complexity of DF
>>322468931
But is there gameplay
I only saw that video where they mined space rocks with their space rock mining gun and shot some space cows until the space animal police magically appeared to kill him
Looked pretty lame
>>322468549
They never said anything like this besides infinite planets, but even that they gave a specific number too.
18,446,744,073,709,551,616 to be exact.

Literally this gen's Spore
What's the goddamn point of the chromatic aberration and the fucking instagram filter? No black colors, just blues.
>>322459846
how is this any different than the Space Engineers newest update which brings you planets to explore and build on?
>>322471885
There's less building, that's how its different
Space Engineers has already one-uped them since their planets are actually destructible. in theory with a big enough bomb and astrong enough PCyou could blow up planets.
While Space Engineers has a lot to actually fix (specifically performance and bugs) it could easily be one of the greatest multiplayer games to ever exist.
it looks like a cool tech demo that they've desperately tried to turn into a game. I think it'll be fun to mess with for half an hour but there is no game in there.
It's going to come out, be literally exactly what the developers said it would be, and then people are going to whine about it not being a literal MMO of the universe.
The dev has made the point exceedingly clear that NMS is exploration for explorations sake and that it's generated content. Interviewers keep leading him on with "SO YOU'RE LIKE LITERALLY GOD YEAH LOL" but he rarely if ever makes unrealistic promises considering what the game does.
But people refuse to actually listen and understand what the game is. They think it's some space sim they go run around with their bros in or that there's some story reason to be exploring planets. There isn't. The game is about discovering things just because you want to in random generation. And that's great, I LOVE that kind of stuff. But it's not what a lot of people, especially on /v/, seem to think it'll be.
No, the game doesn't exist.
>>322472207
Nah. Space Engineers will never reach that level. Far too much processing.
>>322459846
>literally more planets than you can visit in a lifetime
>which implies that each planet is pretty damn basic
No. I refuse to hype this game until I see something that will encourage me to explore past 30+ planets
>>322460510
Fucking moron trying to compare this shit to Dwarf Fortress.
It'll be like Goat Simulator, a lot of people will buy into the idea because on paper it looks cool but once they start playing they realize how shallow the whole experience is and will stop playing the game.
>>322472620
>its great
No it isn't. Theres not a single game based on random generation that has even been halfway decent let alone good.
The fact that this is a "game" completely void of gameplay on top of that fact is just asinine. It pains me when I see people hyped for this game.
The game is designed to be a space exploration sim and clearly intended to be played as one, so I might get out 15-20 hours of enjoyment until I get bored of it.
Looks like a lightweight space sim. Probably better off playing ED or messing around with SpaceEngine
who the fuck is shilling this game here
everytime I ask why the game should be good
>20 trillions planets
this is nice, what abou the gameplay?
in the E3 we saw the guy use his laser on a rock to get minerals
then he killed something
then he was almost killed by the space police, even though it was nowhere in sight for the past 20 minutes
I just want to know what the content will be
>>322469698
>Answer the question you're asking in your own post
Ok.
No Man's Sky seems like the ultimate exploration game.
>it's online but it's so fucking big that you may never run into another player even once in hundreds of hours of playing
Just imagine if we weren't jaded after spore and were still impressionable children how magical it could be to run into another player.
>>322473327
You need to collect materials to craft spaceship parts that allow you to go further into the universe to another planets and collect materials so you can craft more spaceship parts and go further into the universe until you reach the universe center, which is the objective of the game.
>>322471446
>Literally this gen's Spore
Can you name three similarities between NMS and Spore, apart from the setting and the goal ?
>>322465374
DCSS
Its literally a tech demo
No idea how anyone can even get hyped for videogames anymore
Unless you're 16 I guess
>>322473821
Tech demo for what exactly? Do you even know what is a tech demo?
>>322460851
there is not.
dont except it .
he already said
There will be like 5 different planet layouts and the rest will be reskins. It's always the same shit for procedurally generated games.
I want to be hyped for this game but I'm afraid of it being another spore. Everything about this game makes me feel jittery and excited inside just like the trailers and beta for sporeand I want to suppress it. I can't take another disappointment like spore
>>322463534
Underrated post
I actually enjoyed Spore, was I the only one?
>>322474023
What about >>322468931
>>322463534
Spore was only bad because EA got their hands on it and turned it into a children's game so they can make a ton of shekels. No Man's Sky won't have that kind of jewery and that alone makes it look like it could be decent.
>>322474221
Nah, family friends' 10 year old son enjoyed it too. I had to install it for him though, that was a bother.
>>322460510
The Developer seems suepr cool and passionate, I almost prepared to support on the back of his videos
>>322473565
That's more than enough to make a comparison.
>>322468931
not a bad post, 9/10
>>322474434
So I guess Baldur's Gate and WoW are the same shit then, since they have in common a medieval fantasy setting.
>>322473528
so it's like spore minus the gameplay?
>>322474221
my faggot friend still plays that
>>322474690
Nah, there's space battles, trading, civilizations, other players and shit. It's like spore if you were the actual space ship rather than a God who controlled a galactic empire.
>>322459846
This might be my first day one purchase since Deus Ex HR.
>>322474814
So it's pretty much a first-person spore but you're an explorer instead of an empire and its an adventure sandbox instead of babby's first sandbox strategy
>>322474928
That's nothing like Spore then ?
>>322459846
No. The fag in charge keeps going on about "muh realism" and refuses to put anything fun in the game. You can't even upgrade your spacecraft, just constantly buying completely new ones.
Why should I buy this game if I found Elite Dangerous already really ass.
>>322475037
It has all of the things spore's space empire mode had, but instead of exploring it as a god you're exploring it in first person.
>>322475102
>The fag in charge keeps going on about "muh realism"
But that's wrong.
>>322459846
No if star citizen exists
>>322463558
small dick cuck confirmed
>>322475218
>>But that's wrong.
No it's right. I remember an interview ages ago where he was bitching about the atmosphere being green on some planet because it wasn't realistic.
>>322474094
Look, the reason the spore comparison doesn't work for me is that they never over promised.
Yes, they love to gloat on how many planets are there, and how you could virtually never run out of content, and the things you can do, but none of it is unrealistic.
You can have space battles, exploration, resource gathering in any game nowadays. The promise is that if you enjoy it, you can do that for a long time, but that's it.
When you look at their promises at their barebones, they're not that big, or anything other game hasn't done before.
Anyone saying the game is over promising have no idea what's the game is about.
>>322475545
So you look at the game with planets so close to each other there's no way they wouldn't crash into each other, and you think "Hm, yeah, another game ruined by REALISM" ?
You faggots who compare it to spore need to realize that the problem with spore's failure was never that they overpromised or the game was underwhelming compared to what it originally was in beta, but the problem in itself is that the game was fundamentally changed after some faggot in the staff wanted to water down all of the mechanics and turn it into a cute children's game.
That's why Spore was shit compared to how good it looked. It wasn't a case of "Too good to be true", it was a case of the team radically changing shit to appeal to a completely different demographic than it was meant to originally appeal to.
No Man's Sky doesn't look like it will be guilty of this. Comparing it to Spore is fucking retarded because Spore's failure was in its watering down its gameplay and artstyle for children.
>>322475870
Yeah, that was another thing I vaguely remembering him whine about, but obviously didn't get his way. Besides, don't you have to warp between planets? I thought the whole game was you warped to a new planet, gather enough resources to jump to the next one and repeat. Little point in that if the planets are as close together as you think they are.
>>322473523
Except thats a fucking lie
The reason you dont see players often is because the servers limit it to only 1 or 2 players at a time
Not because the universe is big
BUT AM I ABLE TO MEET WITH MY FRIENDS AND FUCK AROUND?
No? Yes?
It isn't overpromising, but it will be exactly as underwhelming as Spore when you're doing the same thing you were on the first planet on your 10th, 20th, 50th, etc planet. Watch almost any video about it and you'll pretty much see all there is to the game and what there is looks pretty boring.
>>322476375
You warp to systems, if there's 3 planets in the same system you fly to them.
Why do you complain about a game you don't know shit about ?
>>322476632
No. Physically impossible due to the way the servers work.
>>322476631
>Not because the universe is big
>18 quintillions planets
>everyone starts at a random point in the outer edge of the universe and then converge to the center
Nah I think he's right.
>>322476631
>servers limit it to only 1 or 2 players at a time
lol what's even the point
>>322476741
Then that's bullshit, single player exploration for long periods is going to be boring.
This type of gameplay is usually fun with friends working as a team, exploring together, having fun fucking around with the police, making your own challenges together.
>>322476967
He's lying tho. Or if he's not I'll ask for source.
>>322477005
>That actually sounds more fun than what they given.
Everyone here is so sure it's either going to be good or shit. Can we wait until the game is released before we speak with such confidence?
I know I'm going to pirate it and try it out.
>>322459846
>devs implying it's not just a game where you go to planets and do nothing
>>322476697
Doesn't matter how many planets there are in a system. No matter how much you try to defend it, the game is just going to be a boring walking simulator with boring earth-like environments because the lead developer lacks creativity.

Stop asking for source and research it, it isn't that hard.

Hi 12 year old new friend. Try playing some games before making asinine sweeping statements. Especially purely subjective ones at that.
>>322476631
>because the servers limit it to only 1 or 2 players at a time
That's a lie too.
Everything they've said made it sounds like it's online. They've said the game is so large that you'll probably never run into other players, and even if you knew where your friends were in the universe it can take a long time to find their planet, and with planets being almost earth-sized it will take a lot time to find your friend on that planet.
>"hey bro I'm on a mountain"
>>322477460
I'm looking anon, I still don't see where you pulled that "1 or 2 people server limit" from.

>>322460872
Awful lot of buzzwords for an indie game with no where near the thought of dwarf fortress.
Also you cannot built in No Man's Sky unlike Minecraft which is an autists lego set
>>322477624
>to find your friend on that planet.
They confirmed there's one space station in every solar system, people will just go to it to meet.
>>322477448

>I point out how you're wrong and that you wrap from system to system, you can freely fly between planets
>WELL YOUR GAME IS SHIT STOP DEFENDING IT WOOOOW
Are you serious ?
>>322477758
Finding your friend's solar system will be like finding one pin needle in a field of grass, even if your friend tells you what general area his solar system is in. They've made it sound like it takes days of real time to travel a significant amount through the galaxy.
>>322459846
How long has this game been coming out? I thought the shit came out and flopped last year.
>>322477665
I'm not that anon that said that, however it makes sense considering yhe devs make it clear its not like an "MMO".
>>322477914
But I was explicitely referring to the guy saying that the server limit was 2 people.
Why did you quote my post if it had no relation to what I was talking about?

>And don't you dare do anything fun because this planet you just discovered magically already has it's own police force.
>>322477914
The devs said it's not meant to be played like an MMO. It's not the kind of game where you hop on, go down to a planet and PvP with 5-10 people, it's about exploration.
Everything they've said regarding the aspect of online makes it sound like it's an MMO in the sense that you share the galaxy with other players, but with 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets to explore it's highly unlikely you'll ever run into another player
>>322478169
>And don't you dare do anything fun because this planet you just discovered magically already has it's own police force.
What the fuck are you trying to say ?
If you travel to another country are you surprised there's actually people that got here before you ?

>>322478380
My post was just about correcting your mistake anon, you can keep arguing about the game, but don't be wrong when you criticizes it.
>>322478235
>It's not the kind of game where you hop on, go down to a planet and PvP with 5-10 people, it's about exploration.
That actually sounds like a fun thing to do rather than explore all the time.
>>322478738
Just go play Star Citizen then ?
>>322478304
>If you travel to another country are you surprised there's actually people that got here before you ?
Not comparable, there are already people in other countries, the whole appeal of the game is that you are the first to visit the supposedly unique planet, yet there there is already a planet-wide police presence heavily enforcing galactic laws? Bullshit.
>>322478738
Then play Star Citizen or Destiny. Fuck, the creators even said if you want a space game with action and constantly being around other players just play Destiny because No Man's Sky isn't for you. It's about the concept of landing on alien worlds and exploring, interacting with the wildlife, seeing weird natural shit and strange structures, and random civilizations.
>>322478965
>yet there there is already a planet-wide police presence heavily enforcing galactic laws? Bullshit.
Some planets have their own civilizations, we don't know the specifics of the space cops or if they will be everywhere considering it was relatively early on in development when they showed it off. They might just be a thing on planets already colonized by randomly generated civilizations or random uncolonized planets near galactic empires.
>>322460510
Dwarf Fortress is much more detailed than this crap. I'll get it anyway, I want something like this, but no way in hell this is as fun as DF.
>>322478965
>the whole appeal of the game is that you are the first to visit the supposedly unique planet
You surely are the first player to see the planet, I guess ? I don't think you're meant to see "discovered" as anything else. Not to mention lorewise, all we know is that the goal is to go to the center of the universe, there's nothing about your mission as a character.
Ultimately that's a pretty petty complain though, no ?
>>322478979
Different guy but when you say civilisations you mean ancient ruins right? I seriously doubt you'll be able interact with any intelligent life beyond buying new ships in a menu. So far it seems like an exploration game where you essentially wander around the developer's random environment generator, so a better looking Minecraft minus the building
>>322479860
There's factions and ships flying around planets to collect materials to bring to the space station. I've also heard that if you're friendly with a faction you get better price, or a whistle to call allies ships. The players are the only sentient being capable of going out of their ship to walk around, which is how you'll recognize them.
>>322479860
I've seen a post somewhere a few months back where they're actually working on making sapient/sentient alien beings. I highly doubt you can interact with them beyond walking around in randomly generated cities and looking at them, though the devs did mention trading which makes me believe they'll just act as fancy minecraft villages.
I just don't get the point, like after just looking around then what?
>>322476794
I don't understand why people can't grasp that.
Quick example:
>I make a sim of earth; just earth
>I get 10k players online simultaneously (generous estimate for NMS)
>If you count Taiwan as a country we have 196 countries.
>Everyone spawns at ramdom
>This would leave 51 people in each real sized country
Meeting someone would be really rare and this scope is just earth.
You would need more people playing than alive (like thousands of times more) at least 100,000 people gathered to one earth sized planet until anyone met anyone even in small countries. Probably much more.
>>322480334
Exactly, which makes it all the more better if you run into a random player. Everything they've said regarding multiplayer makes it sound like it's massively online but you'll probably never see a player even with 500-1000 hours of playtime
>>322480334
I don't know, finding 51 people in countries like Luxembourg, Monaco, the Vatican etc. would be pretty easy
Why does nobody just make a proper 3D interface for DF instead of coming up with new shit games?
>>322479146
>>322479726
We know little about the police system, but I'm assuming the worse.
It will be a pain in the ass when you constantly have the space-cops on you for picking up the wrong rock. And it's hypocritical too when there are whole fleets of space pirates that roam about freely, yet the police are only interested in lonesome you, and are instantly able to know if you did something wrong despite no signs of civilisation in the entire system. I'm already getting frustrated imagining it to be a GTAV-tier police system.
>>322478060
That has nothing to do with the statement I was rebutting gayfriend
Learn to read and lurk moar
I know its not played like an MMO, however I still would rather my friends to not be seperated, meet up together and explore with each other and fucking around on planets and ruina rather than me being exploring a planet after planet alone.
>>322479724
Nothing will be as detailed as DF. Nothing has that much love poured uncompromisingly into it.
Kind of how Bethesda will never reach the peak morrowind set for detail.
So can I destroy sentinel's? :^)
I'm really hoping that this game has VR support, since a bigass exploration game to get lost in is exactly what VR is for
>>322482167
Yep
>>322462807
>tfw this is how real life works
>>322482167
Probably, but it will likely make you an enemy of them and you may find yourself being hunted since the system exists galaxy wide. They might send nastier units up against you too I'd wager if your edgy enough.
Killing a planet and its ecosystem will probably get you on the shitlist pretty quick. Gonna be funny seeing edgy faggots going from planet to planet exterminating their ecosystem and looting their ruins who whine about having high level sentinels wrecking their ass from one system to another.

I'm fine with that, if we can cross with friends then it would be fun that all of you together is killing the planet. Kinda like GTA in space. Explore and learn, then destroy.

Sunset Overmeme
The fact I can fly my own spaceship wherever to my hearts content makes up for Bungie fucking lying about the spaceships in Destiny.

Games designed in a way that you can watch someone else play the game and feel like you're playing the game yourself, "comfy" games, casual games that pretend to not be casual...
i was blown away by how good it looks. mainly because of the color palette. its not just brown and green and they actually have nice colorful enviroments.
but seeing how much actual gameplay they shown, i have a feeling its just gonna be a cool tech demo with close to no actual original gameplay. maybe generic missions like you'd expect from an open world game.

>>322484103
Yeah, I imagine closer to the galactic core there are super strong sentinels that need either top tier gear or multiple people to take on.
>sentinels in the outer rims are weak, and basically trash mobs
>sentinels in the middle/inner rim are stronger, but still easily soloable, groups of them need strong firepower or help to kill
>core sentinels are immensely powerful, raid boss tier enemies that can fuck your shit up for daya if you dont team up to kill them or sneak past them
>>322484832
Why?
>>322484885
That and more planets being toxic so you have to upgrade your suit is the idea of progression the dev team actually said would be in the game.
