by do literally anything you want, you mean if all you want to do is walk on different planets and shoot different looking aliens?

>it's about an experience where you can do literally anything your mind wants
except for meeting other players, of course
also why waste ressources on coding a multiplayer that they admit will only be used every ten billion years when two players happen to meet
why bother writing netcode for a feature that has such a low chance of ever being actually used
but I guess that's why their flight physics look like utter trash
gotta set your priorities, and who needs enjoyable spaceship dynamics in a game centered around deep space exploration anyway :^)
>>334826971
>I want to sexually conquer entire solar systems.
Dude. Yes
>>334824648
>it's about an experience where you can do literally anything your mind wants
Except play with a friend.
This game is fucking stupid and is probably going to be boring as shit after 10 minutes anyway.

>>334824648
I have hopes of this game being any good. It looks like something that'll be faintly interesting for 6-8 hours, and then you realize that you've seen and done everything and all there's left is doing it again but with different colors for animals and planets.
That said, I do think a lot of people don't get what they're planning with multiplayer. It isn't about exploring with your friends.
Question /v/:
Why is "exploration" so fetishized in the gaming industry these days to the point where it takes priority over all other aspects of the game? What is the point of exploration for its own sake, if there is not also interesting things to do, people to meet, and stories to discover?
Why do people get so excited at the idea of walking / driving / flying around "exploring" if all there is to do is look at things and maybe shoot them if you're lucky?
I think it's tied to a lot of games going OPEN WORLD now also, and it needs to stop. Being able to go to a lot of different places is not exciting or cool in and of itself. Those places need to be interesting as well.
>>334827671
>faintly interesting for 6-8 hours, and then you realize that you've seen and done everything
This.
They keep saying that it's difficult to demonstrate this game in 20 minutes but all they do is demo the game for 20 minutes.
There's literally no reason they can't show 6 hours of this game other than the fact that people would realize how shit it is.
Remember all those talks over the years of you faggots harping on how there needs to be a space game about exploring worlds and fucking with alien animals? You cunts even said thatd make a cool Halo game, exploring a Halo ring. Now this game comes out and you faggots are tipping your fedoras while scoffing.
normies are very easily entertained
>>334824648

Real reason?
Because you can build a giant, empty or procedurally generated world and give the player a couple of tools, and then market the drab gameplay as "exploration."
>>334829468
It feels a bit like they're in way over their heads.
Seems like they made a great and impressive engine and now everyone expects the best game ever. All they ever talk about is how fucking huge the whole thing is, because that's the main point. Yet people keep expecting that every planet is vastly different from each other and that they'll still be finding new shit after 300 hours of gameplay.

Nothing but hate threads and shill threads. What is it about people that love to tell you how much they hate something? Stop wasting your time and fuck off and let us fucking have a decent thread about a game that may or may not be decent.
>>334836225
Why do you love to tell people how much you like something?
It's the same thing. People have opinions and enjoy sharing them and comparing them against other people's opinions. If you want an echochamber hugbox, go make a thread on GAF or something.

Can I face and fight deadly giants on consistently beautiful, handcrafted worlds? Can I become a gun runner: build and sell my wares across the galaxy in a huge multiplayer or NPC economy? No to all of those? Fuck off, this game is nothing but a nice concept with no heart or creativity in depth. This is literally Minecraft in space with a few randomly generated quests/shit we have seen in games years ago that advertised the sake things "literally MILLIONS/BILLIONS/TRILLIONS of different experiences" but it's just virtually all boring generic shit. They even SAID planets with developed life will be as common as they are in our universe, ergo, fucking rare. Meaning most of the biomes will be boring flatlands with nothing.

literally the tightest shit. was about done with these garbage cartoons then i had to watch that one.
>>334824648
I'm confused. I haven't really been following this game after seeing it the first time because it looked like ass. What can you do in this that you can't do in Elite Dangerous or Evochron Mercenary?
>>334824648
so this game is going to look worst than Space Engine but have to buy the game with about the same amount of stuff to do and prolly not the greatest physics
>>334824648
It is a tech demo.
The game is hardly more deep than Spore.
It features a survival system/collection system that many games have.
So the only thing to do in this game is fly around in small ships and visit planets that look slightly different.
And you could do that in Spore.
There is no depth to the survival and nothing we have not seen before. I would LOVE this game to be fantastic. But I think we all know that it will be boring.
How many times have we been right about a game not living up to expectations? How few games have ever overturned those suspicions?
Fuck multiplayer. Just what I wanted: /v/ faggots and underage shitting up the game with memes and faggotry. Singleplayer will always be superior. I don't need social bullshit in my games.
>>334836498
lol. I don't mind a decent discussion. There are alot of flaws and their marketing strategy has me on edge too. Just because I'm half full on the issue doesn't mean I don't see the flaws but these threads have little to no decent discussion cuz its all hate and no discussion. Procedural this, nothing to do that, color pallet swap...etc. Some are valid but anytime a thread goes up it's instantly shat on. I know that's most of /v/ but these threads even more so.

Random generation is not very fun to look at though.
"Wow a cliff", "wow a cave" is only interesting for so long because the engine only generates them within certain perimeters. Because of the visuals, it'll likely be less interesting/varied to look at than Minecraft, and less interactive as well (if at all).
>>334841590
>both social bullshit
>mental gymnastics
Whatever, bitch.
>People on /v/ are now so young that a game still keeping secret about its gameplay features is seen as a bad thing
I bet you faggots will cite Spore and cry yourself to sleep about that game later that night, like you did thoses past 8 years.
>>334841756
>Random generation is not very fun to look at though.
That's cool because random isn't the same thing as procedural.
>>334840305
The social bullshit isn't the problem it's the asshats who just kill everything they see.
Like every fucking multiplayer game is a PvP affair even when it doesn't have to be all the time cause everyone is super hostile
I'm glad running into people will be so rare it's labeled a single player game
cause every time you see one I can garen-fucking-tee all he is going to try to do is kill you and wreck your shit.
>>334842121
Yeah, in the sense of "very fun to look at" random is actually better.
>>334842121
Yeah, its worse.
Its the same few concepts repeated over and over with some slight variations.
>anything your mind wants

>>334841845
I already know what to expect and still look forward to playing the game, so suck it.
>>334824648
>literally anything
>can't play multiplayer
Really, that aside, no it isn't. Don't try to tout this as something bigger than it is. It's a exploration sim with very little actual content to partake in.
>>334842258
Why? Random generation can potentially create some wicked stuff but by definition it'll be by pure luck
I find procedural generation more interesting if you can understand the set of rules making things the way they are, using enough examples
>>334842225
Heh, at least this "game" will serve as a reservation for pussyfied carebears from both EVE and ED. Pls tell your kin to migrate to NMS.
what the fuck do you even do in this game

Look like decent enough content to me, what do you define as "very little"?
>no multiplayer

>>334842494
Dude I get it when it's part of the game, like EVE and shit.
But games like minecraft?
People fucking PvP in minecraft.
And it's not just the PVP anyway, that's fine, it's just the simple fact everyone online is an antisocial cunt nugget who will do everything in their power to wreck your shit, not just kill you but greif you to fuck, if there's a way to greif people will do it ALL the time.
This is why I feel like rockstar are wasting their fucking time trying to put in anything that isn't just murdering each other in the GTA online

You summed it up better than I could. Most of these faggots can't into exploring and finding things to do. It's like Minecraft - You dig your own tunnel and find caves with monsters and ore and go from there. You find things to do and go from there. Just because you can't do so with other people doesn't mean it's shit. Hell, doing things with other people only makes things more complicated.

ScamCitizen allows that, but it's probably going to be a clusterfuck as the big guilds (or whatever) will have Idris ships and Constellations enmasse and just buttrape everybody.
>>334846035
That's fine, the devs making the game they want is their choice. But they better not act surprised when it bombs like crazy because it's just a glorified walking simulator.
So basically a $70 dollar dumbed down kids version of Space Engine?

It isn't. Star Wars and 40k for example, are Science Fantasy. Difference is, 40k justifies it's melee weapons, while a gun is better if you can aim in Star Wars.
>>334847118
You can "walk" on alien worlds in Space Engine though, and it's fucking gorgeous.
>>334847118
Well, NMS version of walking on alien worlds will be worth a constant visits to an ophthalmologist that's for sure.
>>334847093
So Minecraft lets you build a homebase and settle. NMS is focused on moving forward, not settling on a single planet.
Also it has incidental Multiplayer.

Overhyping the fuck out of it. They're marketing it as though it were a AAA game developed by tons of people, when it reality it's being developed by a team of 12 at an indie studio.
My only concern is that the gameplay will get stale.
It sounds like you'll be spending your time looking for fuel and mats to upgrade your suit to survive on planets that have better resources.
That's it.
If you could somehow customize your ship, make it bigger or something, it would be more interesting to me, I mean, why can't I fly one of those giant ass batteships in the gameplay videos?

You can spend the entire game on a single planet if you like. Each one is to scale--they say it can take days or weeks to travel across the surface by foot, and that's in real time. And that's not even counting if the planet happens to have a subterranean network.
So yeah, the vague overaching narrative is get to the galacitc core, but the game isn't pestering you to. You can stay on a single planet, much like in minecraft you can stay in a single spot or biome and just mine around and explore deeper instead of wider.
Don't be a semantic cunt that uses words like 'memetic' where the have no meaning.

There's nothing semantic about it. You either can build something or don't. It's either a true sandbox or a dev qurated theme park (whick NMS is).
So
a)it's nothing like Minecraft.
b)it's not game that gives you freedom to do what you want, more like pic related.
>>334850683
No I didn't pay a cent.
This is pretty much eurotruck simulator in space with a shitty shooting mechanics.
I can't imagine playing this game on a console and having a good time. Like I play in the living room with all my roommates and we just all chill out there and shit and have fun. I don't think you can do that with this game. It just get fucking boring.
This is a game where you need your own music playlist in the background, a seperate screen playing something to keep you entertained and some mods to fill the vast empty void.
The pc version will be marvelous thanks to modders and the choice to get the game for free. But I don't see any reason to get this for PS4 if you have a rig that can run this.

why bother with having people in the same universe then. all it does is become a small novelty that you can see who might have discovered the planet first but then that novelty comes at the price of needing a constant internet connection for what can easily be a single player game with all the procedural generation bullshit you want

Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-mpm_47k6Q
You are welcome to enjoy No Man's Sky, but this game will be a better GAME to PLAY.
Reasons to buy:
>Singleplayer Rogue-like gameplay with persistent progression
>AAA-style visuals & sound and rock solid controls
>Captivating non-linear storytelling that perfectly fits the nature of a rogue-like
>In-depth upgrade and damage system
>1st and 3rd person action focus (no sim)
>VR-Support for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive
>Action Freeze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPHYk7FUmuc
>Made in UE4, which scales insanely well on majority of existing PC hardware
>Full object destructibility: https://everspace-game.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/moving3.gif && http://i.imgur.com/VQT5mq7.gifv
>procedural generation for system generation, so each playthrough will land you in star systems that aren't quite the same
>think basically freelancer remade in UE4 with visuals, physics, destruction, all turned up to 12
Finally, original kickstarter trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN7MugzDLrQ
Which shows that a big part of the game's design is mostly complete. Most money from kickstarter went into content creation (finishing as well new expansion), some feature addition, and much more time into platform optimization (PC first, then XB1, and then PS4).
Alpha begins in a little over a week. You don't have to buy into the alpha or beta or even release (if that's your MO for games), but I'd like you to know that this game exists and is arguably a better candidate of your time over No Man's Sky.

You're somehow trying to convince yourself that I paid for a free game. That's pretty low man, but can't wait for you to be disappointed by NMS.
Try to at least have some fun, it was $70 after all.

Reminder that space engine could be the kind of game proc gen space fags have wet dreams about if people would just give it a fraction of the money they give to other space games on shitstarter.

Can I get in?
>>334851585
I will never buy it, if you need to spam others threads with a pasta to create attention it's most likely a shitty game
>>334848570
I don't see any commercials about it. I don't see wacky youtubers doing lets plays of the beta. How is anybody overhyping it?
>>334843350
> implying shooting brown people doesn't give a better feeling than shooting purple space aliens that look just like the greenish pink space aliens that you shot on the planet before this one and the blue space aliens that you shot on the planet before that
Actually Gears of War is a good game both because you can chainsaw people and because it manages to feel as if you are tested even when you are not.
Maybe this one can't say the same
>>334852279
>How is anybody overhyping it?
People are talking about it.
Fucking shills, all of them.
>>334824648
Lol, you bitch at peoples false assumptions, then make your own. Fucking kek. The game is about THE JOURNEY, How everyones experience will be unique. You can't just 'do anything' since the mechanics are far too structured. You explore, catalog, craft and trade, build rep and decipher Alien languages, travel through wormholes and portals and discover things nobody else will. THAT is what this game is about.
Come release I hope v/ stops acting like retards and actually shows off cool shit they find, threads could be comfy as fuck if all it is, is sharing captures.
>>334852279

>>334851903

>>334824648
My mind wants me to be a space lawyer
Can I do that? Honest question
>>334827798
Because this generation of players can't handle defeat. To play a game where you go back to the start is too punishing for them. Games like this where you don't lose much is favoured.
>>334852950
PAY 60 BUCKAROOS AND THEN USE YOR IMAGINATION
>>334848606
If you retards actually kept up with the game instead of shitposting and whinging about non-existent over-marketing then you would know YOU CAN UPGRADE THE SHIP
>>334850435
Lol that they have shown this, lol that this thread is full of retards and shitposters, lol that you are one
Lol
Lol
Lol
>>334853210
If you retard could into reading comprehension instead of damage control then you would get that he wanted bigger ships you can customize yourself including visuals not add +5% HP buffs.
>>334850790
Devs/Sony have never claimed you can do 'anything',it's the retards that keep looking for any reason to hate on it that mockingly do.
If exploring a galaxy doesn't appeal to you then thats fine but that is exactly what NMS has been advertised/shown to be. So you are a moron if you were somehow expecting more
>>334852950
I guess you could seek out space pirates and destroy them.
You'd be the Space Judge Dredd

>Iexploring a galaxy
First of all, they're not telling us how indepth this "exploring" will be.
Judjing by the latest vid it's push button to explore everything scanner wich is weak as fuck and worth any criticism.
What do (You) consider "exploring"? This?
>>334827798
Do you also think that it's a niche game?
>>334827798
The problem with exploration is that it's something that it's always been there but the industry doesn't get it.
Ever played a game for the first time and had a childlike sense of wonder and thrill during the first hours?
Imagine a game that could do that during its whole lifespan. Think first playthroughs of Zelda, Souls games, WoW, Halo even. They do emphasize exploration, but everything you encounter has value not because of it something not seen before, but because it ties into the world. Via lore, gameplay mechanics or even aesthetics, these discoveries are meaningful because they have been carefully crafted in order to do so. They fit a purpose within the game's world, which is something procedural generation can't do as of now.
Procedural generation can't spawn complex or engaging stories, nor it can build interesting worlds, which makes having infinite possibilities kind of lame, since they are all inferior to a well crafted (human crafted) one.
I do believe in procedural generation, though. Refinement of algorithms can lead to overcoming these weaknesses. For example, I do enjoy Dwarf Fortress, because it bypasses mos of what I said.
>>334854612
The right column should be empty.
>>334853606
Yeah he never said that...And its no different to simply buying/trading for a bigger/better/more unique ship, oh and the upgrades aren't just buffs :^)
So again, if you kept up with the game, you would know this,retard.
>>334854617
>they're not telling us how indepth this "exploring" will be.
What the fuck does that mean? They've told you what's on the planets, what you can do with it, and what you might want to look for, they've shown gameplay of the planets, what the fuck do you want them to do?
>>334854836
>Yeah he never said that
>LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOUUU
NMS shills on suicide watch.
>>334854812

>>334826628
>indie game
>published by Sony
Why does nobody know what fucking indie means
People want multiplayer so theres something to actually do, because so far they haven't shown anything except "Fly to other planets"
But wtf do you do there? Can you build a base? Craft? Mine/gather materials? Or is it just a "Fly here and look at this" simulator.
>>334854893
So, you press scan all button? That's exploring to you? There's nothing else?
>>334855042
These days indie means pretty much "not AAA", which is true. In the west you really can't make non-AAA games anymore without being indie.
It's very saddening.
>>334833634
>>334835035
>>334837826
>hahahaha le TROOOO XDD
Take a snapshot of the /a/ catalog and tell me what you see.
>>334855063
This.
If this sort of artstyle and world gen were stapled onto something like Space Engineers then we would be talking.
But its not. Wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle means that any longevity is off the table.
>>334854617
Lets see, you can scan the planet which marks SOME points of interest,Then theres exploring the surface or subterrane or Oceans or settlements, during this you can catalog sights and animals, find monoliths/portals, Learn Alien languages and improve rep with that race for certain benefits, or you can mine resources,craft with what you find. So no retard scanning a planet is not what I define as 'exploring'...
>>334824648
>all this shilling threads
>ITS NOT ABOUT A BORING CARTOONISH WALKING SIMULATOR
This is getting better and better, ill grab the popcorn while i see all this tears for spore2.
This shit will be flavor of the month at most.
>>334855063
>Craft? Mine/gather materials?
You can do that but it's basic as fuck. No building.
>>334855063
Go educate yourself. We already know the answer to all of that.
>>334855001
>Give response
>You respond with Strawman
Lel haters on suicide watch more like, next time actually formulate a response before posting :^)
>the main point is exploration
>'why are they not showing more content!'
Because its an exploration game. The more they show the most of the game they are rendering redundant.
Exploration games are niche, 99% of people wont enjoy a game like NMS.
I understand all these complaints people are raising but /v/ is seriously overblowing this. Asking for Eve tier content in a indie groups game because Sony is marketing it.
>>334855492
Is the answer to all of those questions "No."?
>>334826662
>digital only
no?
>>334854678
>Refinement of algorithms can lead to overcoming these weaknesses. For example, I do enjoy Dwarf Fortress, because it bypasses mos of what I said.
Yes, but not the core of what you said:
>everything you encounter has value not because of it something not seen before, but because it ties into the world
In DF that happens because it's meaningful to you, the player. You make it meaningful, because the mechanics allow for it (and even demand it in some cases). That some dwarf is so good at making cheese that his hobby is making gilded cheese statues is both a funny detail and important knowledge.
But seeing 40 planets in NMS and knowing that the 41st planet has a cave with some semi-useful but actually generic resource in it, is none of those, and that makes exploration meaningless. Since that detail actually neither confers nor creates meaning.
>>334855147
Seriously, go watch the vids and you would know thats not all...Holy fuck the retadation is strong in the haters tonight wew
>>334824648
YOU
CAN
DO
ANYTHING!!!
>>334855484
Then what purpose does it serve? Make your ship faster to play "Fly here and look at this" simulator at a higher speed?
>>334855350
I wish I still had those screencaps from last hours of April Fools, with /a/ having discussions, while /v/ was frantically trying to find Anthony Burch.
>>334855837
It is not no. We've known the existance of its gameplay for ages now.
Educate yourself.
>>334856005
I have, looks like theres nothing to fuckin do.
Thats fine if you like the game, but I need more than fly here look at that.
>>334855391
>Then theres exploring
That buzzword again! So you mean that walking through scenerey between scanned POIs is "exploring"?
That's stupid then. Far Cry 3 is an exploration game, you "explore" by running through some uncharacteristic jungle between questmarkers. Evrery single fucking game is about "exploring" then! How NMS any better at that, cuz other elements look uninspired?
>Learn Alien languages
>catalog sights and animals
You literally activate a prop and that's it. It's Ubisoft tier collectathon.
>improve rep with that race for certain benefits, or you can mine resources,craft with what you find
That's not really exploration.
>>334855890
I totally agree
>>334855954
None, it's a escapist procgen gimmick walking sim for middle aged cucks who don't want no gameplay.
>>334855954
No dumbass,upgrading the ship allows it to actually travel deeper into space, travel through more hostile enviroments or add new functions. Crafting is only basic in that it is simple, but ghe grid based upgrade screen lets adjacent slots affect one another. You can create unique weapon types this way too
Who else first day pirate?
>>334855147
What?
>>334856470
me
>>334824648
my mind wants multiplayer
Hmmm... This game sounds familiar...
