Space Station nowhere near that planet
>>334941983
>>334942020
I was hyped for this during the first 2 minutes after I read about it.
Then I realised a procedurally generated world is just going to be a boring shitfest and forgot all about it.
Also, 60 dollarydoos.
>>334942191
I can't believe how fucking quickly he showed how repetitive this shit is.
Space Stations and planet bases are going to be fucking carbon copies of each other, apparently.
>>334942278
Yep. OP just proved what I already imagined would happen in this game.
Imagine the "billions of different planets" all with three or four variations of structure styles. So exciting.
>>334941983
The planet has a little planet flag and the space station has a space station flag.
Wew, that creativity.
What a surprise, buildings ran by the same race will have visually similar interiors. I can't believe it. I'm totally in shock. Someone calm me down. I can't take this.
What are you supposed to do in this game?
Can you have space ship fights? Space stations you can fly around?
I'm getting it. /v/ won't ruin this for me either.

>>334941983
You do realise not everything in the game is procedurally generated right?
You do realise they actually had to design things for this game? They actually designed the buildings and interiors and things like that? Or did you think they just said "PS4, make me a building!" and the PS4 knew how to do it? Is that the level of idiot I'm dealing with here?
>>334942480
They are identical, down to the little coils in the bottom left by the save station.
>>334942764
So they actually designed copy pasted modular rooms that just go anywhere?
>>334942480
What the fuck how can you be so short sighted? Have you not seen the difference in architecture across what use to be the British empires. Parliaments from Canada to New Zealand look COMPLETELY different. For one Aussies have theirs upside down,
>>334942764
thought they were good enough to code algorithms that automatically made me radically different buildings with each random seed.
>>334942020
YOU FUCKING RETARD.
That space station is on the same solar system. Get a fucking brain
>>334942496
>What are you supposed to do in this game?
Get to the centre of the galaxy. Explore planets, find/trade for materials, craft/trade for better equipment, move to more dangerous planet closer to the centre of the galaxy.
>Can you have space ship fights?
yes
>Space stations you can fly around?
no
can I be a space pirate and steal other players' stuff?
>>334942764
You do realize that's how procedural generation works, right? Developers design chunks, set parameters, and let programs stitch them together.
>>334942925
HAHAHAHA
SO THAT MEANS THE LITERAL ROOM DESIGN IS 100% THE SAME DOWN TO THE LIGHTS AND THE WAY THE LIGHTS ARE FACING AND PLACED?
HAHAHAHHAAH
>>334942937
No multiplayer fampai
>>334941983
That interaction was so disappointing
>So here's an NPC
>Now here is where we want to get plans for some item
>Oh, can you become friends with the NPC to get it?
>Uh well uh, normally you would want to hack or destroy the door...but uhhh yeah you can become friends with him
For fuck sake. Is there proper interaction with NPCs or not?
>>334941983
So it's like Mass effect?
>>334942496
It's basically Minecraft in space without building. You just explore and collect resources and explore some more.
It's shit.
>>334943114
He's wishy washy about almost everything.
>>334942934
Do you need to do any of that to get to the center of the galaxy?
>>334943114
You can become friendly with races/factions, but detailed NPC interaction would be kind of pointless since you aren't ever in the same system for long enough for it to become meaningful.
No Man's Sky is going to be a bunch of bland, unmemorable planets, with one memorable planet in the bunch, that you get resources from and then leave.
It's going to have a bunch of repeat buildings with repeated rooms all over the place on top of that.
>>334943303
Yes. Dangerous planets require better materials. Also fuel and ammo and shit.
>>334943005
well that's shit
>>334942934
>Explore planets, find/trade for materials, craft/trade for better equipment,
That's all you do.
You forgot to mention, you only explore a planet for resources. That's it. No bases, no cool features you can keep or like, revisit once you're too far.
>>334943003
It's the same race who designed it. We humans have the same shit you fucking retarded kid. if you want difference go to other places.
>>334943453
>fuck you my game is great kid! kid kid, kid!
Get the fuck out, buyer's remorse.

That totally makes up for it, right?
>>334943719
There cannot be a multiplayer, you'll just visit fucking seeds of planets, if two players were on the same planet then this planet would have to be saved entirely and not just as a seed so that both players can interact.
what do you do with these resources you get if you can't build anything
>>334943965
Elite :Dangerous uses a seed system and that game is even more simplistic and barren than No Man's Sky. There can easily be multiplayer. The issue isn't whether there is or isn't. If there isn't, that's no problem, it sucks but it's not the end of the world. The issue is that he can't answer it because he's an autistic fuck.
>>334944191
Build a ship to go farther, essentially.
>>334943965
Why would that matter?
Minecraft and Elite use seeds and there's no problem there.
Why does /v/ want this game to be bad?
>>334944191
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it_9pUYO2AY
>>334944426
/v/ wants everything to be bad
>>334944426
I wanted it to be good.
But it will be shit, unfortunately.
So it's confirmed that there's no multi-player? The seem to be vaguely stepping around the subject because they at first said that you could run into other players but the game was so big it was rare.
>>334944350
every planet is randomly generated by a seed with specific variables, meaning that if two players visit the same seed the planet would look differently, thus it is not possible for the players to land on the same planet simultaneusly since the planet is generated on the local computer and not in the cloud, making it look similar (same animals, vegetations, textures) but different (different continents, oceans, structure positions) for every player.
>>334942620
Procedural generation is like mashing together bunch of clays. Sure, each time you mash it, you'll get a unique model, but it's not interesting. I want a carefully crafted marble statue.
I have more analogies if you want them.
>>334944552
Yeah its confirmed no multiplayer
The only player interaction is finding shit someone else named
>>334943135
Yes, the ending is totally shit.
>>334944607
That's not true at all, the dev specifically said that, if you saw a tree on one planet orbiting around a particular sun, that tree would be there for everyone who plays the game
the reason why there isn't online is because the dev didn't want online
>>334944552
There originally never was going to be "team up with your buddies and fuck up other guys" multiplayer. Only the "you might see a guy maybe but its unlikely" kind. They haven't mentioned it at all recently though. Whatever's missing wasn't really a part of the game in the first place though.
>>334944426
Expectation is not desire.
>>334944675
yes please, preferably food analogies
im hungry
>>334943790
>i come on /v/ maybe once a month, see a thread like this and immediately stop for another month.
And nothing of value was lost.
Is the game already out?
>>334944607
>meaning that if two players visit the same seed the planet would look differently
Thats not how it works. Same seed = same universe. x + 3 will always equal the same thing if you put the same x in. It's the same concept.
>>334944607
>every planet is randomly generated by a seed with specific variables, meaning that if two players visit the same seed the planet would look differently
How does that make any sense at all?
>>334943790
I notice this shit too. It's like timed marketing
too bad no one is especially interested anymore after the awful promos
>>334944789
>if you saw a tree on one planet orbiting around a particular sun, that tree would be there for everyone who plays the game
that same tree, really, and if you destroy it? it won't be there? so if I make an elaborate underground cave system, this system will be there for everyone who plays the game to see it. wow
>>334944859
Procedural generation is like giving me bunch of condiments for my salad when what I wanted was salad, a drink, and some chicken. I don't want mayo, mustard, or balsamic. Give me a cup of water and a plate of grilled chicken.
>>334945110
>How does that make any sense at all?
you give boundaries and let RNG do the rest, done since fucking diablo
>>334945163
>So if I make an ...
Your interaction with the game world is minimal at best. You won't be making any cave systems. This is not minecraft.
>>334945279
You have no idea how a seed system works, do you?
>>334945279
And that "RNG" is, guess what, bound by the seed.
Congratulations.
>>334945163
fucking great, what If I destroy half of the planet, or kill all the animals on it. if this is true, this game has potential, not having multiplayer is just fucking yourself up
>>334945427
You can't do any of that. no one is going to spend 3 days walking around a planet killing every animal
>>334944607
No the planet would look the same.
However, unlike minecraft none of the player modifications are saved. Both players would see the world as it was originally, but that tunnel he dug? It wouldn't be there. In fact I think they said if he went back it would have disappeared.
>>334945390
>Your interaction with the game world is minimal at best. You won't be making any cave systems.
he showed you can do that, you can destroy terrain, make caves etc.
>5:15 onwards
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-uMFHoF8VA
so you guys are saying, this stays for every other player the same? I also thought like anon, it is procedural rng shit that everyone gets differently, if the terrain modifications are however shown same for everyone, this is great.
>>334945390
>>334945521
Player interactions are local, the default state of the world is shared. You could potentially (although very unlikely) give directions to a rare resource by pointing out landmarks (then again the dev said too big for 2 people to visit the same planet)
You can make caves, as shown in the latest gameplay video. You can't do anything with them though, except find materials inside the cave, which may or may not be exactly the same that show up on the surface
Pretty sure animals just randomly spawn given the seed, you can't make a race of aliens go "extinct", and even if you could, it would be specifically on your game, not online.
>>334945593
>Both players would see the world as it was originally, but that tunnel he dug? It wouldn't be there. In fact I think they said if he went back it would have disappeared.
so wait, if you are on a planet, and you dig a cave then go in space and go back to the planet, the cave is not there?
what if you are on the planet digging a cave, and a new player comes from outside on your planet while you are doing it, is he going to see you, is he going to see your cave? how the fuck does this game work?
>>334943965
>>334942764
>>334944607
No mans sky has NO procedural generation whatsoever. There are no seeds either. The game is built on a single algorithm that draws the world based on your location. This is how the game does away with loading screens.
>>334941983
why do ppl even care about this pile of shit, when there is stuff like empyrion out there.
sure, it's an alpha, but it's better than many released games i have seen
>>334946316
>it has no procedural generation, it just procedurally generates everything
Anon..?
>>334909838
>>334941983
Shills at full force.
>>334946183
>and a new player comes from outside on your planet while you are doing it, is he going to see you, is he going to see your cave? how the fuck does this game work?
there is no such shit, you visit planets, you come to a planet, then a seed generates this planet on your computer localy, the shit you make on the planet is only for you to see, no other player can visit this planet, because it only exists on your computer. the new player can visit the same seed though which will generate the same planet with the same animals and plants, but the shit you are making on your planet localy (other than naming crap which is uploaded to the cloud and shared) is only for you to see. SO NO there is NO MULTIPLAYER
>>334943965
There is only multiplayer. Everyone plays in the same world but it's so large that players will encounter each other only in extremely rare circumstances
>>334945940
>>334946075
>You can actually interact with the world
Well fuck me. They actually showed off a feature for once.
>>334946524
if this is true, this is boring as fuck
>>334946650
>Everyone is going to meet up at the center
>Y-you can't meet up with other people because the game is too big
>But we're all going to meet up at the same spot in the center of the universe
>T-The game is too big!
>>334946716
You want fun on watching shit and naming shit with other people, not even actual MP can save this.
>>334946524
this is true. I wonder if they were clever enough to make even the changes you did to the world persistent for you. this would probably be very easy.
>>334946716
>if this is true, this is boring as fuck
it is true, thats why he is spreading shit considering multiplayer (lying about shit being to vast for people to meet, then the fuck man, make a radar) instead of saying it directly, because people will notice that, other than naming crap and building a ship there is nothing else to do.
>>334946482
Procedural generation specifically refers to a computer making something out of a random seed, but No Mans Sky has no elements of randomness at all.

No, it specifically refers to PROCEDURALLY GENERATING things
>>334947035
>this is why they chose cartoonish colors so people can tell the difference
You nailed.
Procedurally generated means one of two things: either the devs don't want to bother with good level/world design or they realised they can slap that shit on a game and have it sell to retards
Actually I guess it could mean both
>>334947264
>inb4 the ends is a planet with a stone saying"thanks for your support"credits starts to roll
>Elite Dangerous is suddenly now multiplayer always online.
"Waah why can't it be single player offline?"
>No Mans Sky is single player, can be played without internet connection.
"Waah why isn't online? I want to play with friends"
You fuckers need to make up your damn minds.
>>334942925
You realise it's not a "Solar" system but just "system" because they don't have a "Sol," right?
Sol is the name of our star, and our system is called Solar system, while other systems are typically named after their primary star(s).
>>334947497
No, shit devs need to make both single player and multiplayer games.
Its not that hard. But.. THE COSTS...
Think of all those shekels anon, you sill save alot of money, and still jew everyone.

Exactly, or just "system"

What was the final news on that fruit cakes Cube social experiment thing? I heard someone hit the center of the cube and Peter was supposed to give him a share of the games profits as the great "life changing" reveal.
And the nerd still hasn't gotten his share yet.
I wonder how repetitively and monotonously similar the generated planets and creatures will be.
Since it's a large scale 3D production I can't imagine a lot of detail being put into each system.
I wonder if this will literally be Starbound 3D.

I wish we could slap in Space Engineers into Space Engine with infinite multiplayer slots.
It would kill EVE as space MMO.
Technically the entire universe around you is procedurally generated.
>>334949265
>>334949082
Is it really a replica, though? I thought he had taken some freedoms.
Where does he even get the data from?
So there is no base building? You can't build forts or giant space Zoos to store all your weird creatures in?
>>334949320
Procedural generation is like if you asked the chief "suprise me" so he went into the kitchen and threw everythign he could find between two pieces of bread and gave it to you calling it a sandwhich.
>>334949496
Nope.
>>334949496
You can't do Aneeeething.
>>334949585
That's more accurate than my analogy.
>>334949461
When space engineers fix his shit, i would love to see an entire system, for now, 3 planets and its moons are enough.
>>334949494
Most of his data comes from public acess info, and most of the stuff is correct, but the rest is procedual.
>>334949964
>you will never make a walking base in this shit game
>>334942620
It is just the next iteration of open "our core gameplay is mediocre so we make up for in sheer size" world games
>>334943114
This is what's really turning me off about the game. It's not the procedural generation or the lack of multiplayer, it's how fucking flaky and dodgy the developers are about absolutely everything. It's super suspicious and untrustworthy.
>what if we took the space part of spore
>and just changed the graphics
the fuck?
>>334941983
I actually was considering buying it thinking it'd be $20-$30 since it's an indie game but $60? Fuck that, I'm gonna wait until it goes on sale for half that price or just pirate it and wait until the price drops significantly and buy it if it's good.
>>334950113

That's why it's called No Man's Sky anon. There's no one there but you.
>>334946683
Reminder that changes you make to planets only save locally.
>>334952108
you obviously never played survival mode. after several hours I only had a handfull of steelblocks and nothing else. then I run out of fuel and this was it.
it would probably take a week only to build a drill.
i was thinking that all buildings would be the same generic dogshit. definitely wont buy now
>>334952801
You obviously never used mods to avoid that endless grinding.
I dont use them because the idea it self is not practical yet.
>>334946524
the developers are such lying cunts. anytime they were asked about multiplayer, they would say it;s possible, but very rare to find another player
so the whole "5 BAZZILION PLANETS AND THEY ARE ALL ORIGINAL AS FUCK AND NOT CARBON COPIES WITH DIFFERENT COLORS" was a lie?
i'm not surprised but this is Todd-level of lies
>>334953019
>you can fix the game yourself!
T...thanks
>>334953050
The game, to our knowledge, has no functional chat or voip options. So even if you find someone, you can't have actual HUMAN interaction with them.
Thus, finding them would be pointless. Good luck meeting some guy in space, in the middle fuck nowhere, and trying to do something with him without being able to say fuck all.
>>334943453
>all human architecture / furniture is the same everywhere
>>334953176
There are mods for anything now, automated building or whatever you want, some are actually good, some became actual part of the game (comunity contributions)
Also with automated mining, you will have less trouble, but still consumes time.
>>334942934
There are space stations in the game.
>>334953161
There has been varied design that they've shown. Whether it's actually varied enough to keep from getting stale remains to be seen.

Okay let's think about this logically. /v/'s got a lot of gripes that are well founded. But let's see what will happen...
>Log in game for first time
>Oh shit i'm on Hoth/Venus/Lava planet. I'm dying find my ship fast and gtfo of there.

>Spend 30 minutes looking around my first planet. Check out the wildlife while farming some basic elements like carbon and silicon. Find out I can't farm unobtanium yet.
>Figure it's time to go space. Spend another 30 minutes having a blast blasting asteroids.
>Okay got a warp drive now lets check out a new star system
>Warp to new planet. Looks like endor. Cool. Different elements to farm. Upgrade my weapon to pew pew and suit to go to hostile environments(that's another hour played). Walking around planet. See something headed toward me OMG ITS A TREX. Die. Respawn. Refarm elements i lost. Upgrade weapon some more. It's been another hour of game time. Upgrade Jetpack too.

Why is it most people shitposting call it a walking simulator and are completely ignorant of the fact there is space combat, alien npc's you can communicate with and a ton of other shit.
>>334953010
>red alien plants
>woooo so random xD
>>334954359
Most shitposters don't even play games anon.
>>334954359
Go away dev.
>>334954359
do shills play the games they shill?
>>334954359
>space combat
Its press X to kill ship and ships are bullet sponges, mostly with autoaim.
>ayys to comunicate with
Fallout levels of conversation are good now?
>>334954359
Too bad it's all shit
>>334954547
Is actually knowing something about the game all it takes to be called a shill? I think it looks fairly boring, not because there isn't much to do, but because all the stuff you can do isn't very fleshed out. Space combat looks fairly shallow, learning xeno languages and shit as well, exploration with scanner that makes it too easy, crafting looks boring too.
You can say the game looks boring, but to say it's just a walking simulator shows you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

>Press X to buy items
>NPC communication

>>334954760
See, this is ok. At least you admit there is stuff to do in the game. Not like the other mouth breathers in the thread.
>>334954962
>you can do something
>its good guys
as i said and also his anon >>334954851
confused me with another.
It has gameplay, but its shallow.
>>334954871
>implying
It's far more developed than that. Educate yourself.
How the fuck is a Indie game $60 anyways?
>>334955127
>its good guys
Never said it was good anon
>>334955273
infinite content :^)
>>334955273
It's not an indie game. It's being funded by Sony.
>>334955273
Because people are free to set whatever price they want for their product.
Expecting people to buy it at that price, however, is a different matter
>>334955394
IT HAS BRIGHT COLORS AND SIMPLE GRAPHICS
THAT MEANS INDIE YOU FUCK
>>334942937
You can be a space pirate and steal stuff from NPCs. They have cargo ships in space you can shoot at for materials
>>334955490
>nintendo is indie
>>334955659It's almost like I was being sarcastic.
>>334950912
>>334948665
Please don't utter that name in here.
I don't need to be reminded right now.
>>334955280
Then there is nothing GOOD to do.
catch my drift now?
>>334941983
>Space aliens look exactly like humans
fuck these sci-fi hack writers no sense of realism at all
>>334955992
Ones you can communicate with would be humanoid, yes. They aren't the only aliens.
>>334955992
I agree with you up until
>realism
But anthros, namely Earth animal/plant + human, is probably the most creatively bankrupt approach anyone can take.
>Portal and Star Trek killed an interior decorator and painted with her guts
>see gameplay for the first time like 3 days ago
>get excited for a multiplayer space shooter with planet exploration
>later find out that it's just minecraft without lego blocks and buildings
>>334955659
Well, Nintendo DOES develop and publish their own games.
>>334942708
Molyneux, is that you?
>billions of different planets
>they fell for the procedural generation meme
ring a fucking bell you little dumbasses?
>>334954108
so far you can't do half of the shit you imagine.
>no water worlds
>no monster killing spree
>no spawn in unsafe environment
>no naming creatures
>>334955896and starbound still has more personality
>>334947035
Random procedural generation != procedural generation you fucking normie.
>>334957049
Implying there is no RNG in procedual.
>>334957049
This.

Has anyone ever done a race that's just sapient animals with the catch being communication between them and humans is almost impossible thanks to different vocal chords?
>>334958141
Yes.
Let's summarize the game
>crafting
>has its own periodical system with resources you can combine to upgrade your stuff
>space battles (? How big. Can I lead a faction? Are there wars being fought? Because that would be reason alone to buy the game for me)
>variety of planets: Hot, cold, poisonous. Did I miss something? And neutral of course, whatever that is. No waterworlds.
>You can buy ships directly from the hangar where you respawn(How many spaceships are there to purchase?)
>You can improve your standing with a faction. (How many factions are there?)
>Collaborate with Aliens via learning the language one word at a time
>rob factories
>kill sentinels and run away from the wanted-level
>Survive in caves on cold planets
Did I miss something?
Shit that kind of put me off if it's true
>changes you make to the planet (not including naming things) are exclusive to you and your computer (locally). Nobody can experience the changes you've made on the planet (excluding things you've named)
>The huge cargo-ships looked like the ones in the trailer. Everytime. Do they all look the fucking same?
>red cristals everywhere
>crafting seems rather generic
>space ship rockets?! None seen so far, but probable.
>Very low view distance. The popin is fucking ridiculous on consoles. WIll this be the case for pc?
>Appears to be repetitive but so are dozens of great games
>NPC interacting seems very basic
>"You shouldn't be a spacedick" - so, the option to be bad is not really an option since you can't progress. (i.e buy new ships which you need to get closer to the center of the galaxy)
>Very unclear about Multiplayer - why not just say: No Multiplayer, but you can see other players without interaction.
>geography looked the same on the last 5 planets. Yes, vegetation and rockformations were new, but the hills were practically the same - no mountains, no waterfalls, no real swamps that look different from the water.
Could still be a ~50 hour game. For 60 dollars that's okay.
>>334954359
Why do you bring this up in ever fucking thread like it's god's gift to man? The "Space combat" so far looks like dog shit, and I'd expect it to considering that "space combat" is basically babby's first 3D game mode. Easy to do, hard to get right, and nothing about what they have shown makes it look good.
Fuck, I just realized. This game is to Starbound what Minecraft is to Terraria, release dates aside.
