Survive. That's basically it. That's the gameplay variants there is, and it includes resources for shields, upgrades, ammunition etc, and you can also get it through trading inbetween planets/space stations/solar systems. Some mentioned upgrades are obviously hyperdrives, but there's also movement upgrades in terms of running, sprint speed and so on.

It's basically an exploration game with survival focus, but not very hardcore, just enough to make you have to think about how to get resources for everything.

It's random within a set of parameters, which includes hundreds of different animal skeletons, and everything from entirely barren planets to planets full of life and everything in between.

I mean, you could call it random since there are so many variables that are accounted for, for instance distance to star and so on.


>>337347657
Well, I guess that depends on what planet you spawn on. There's not really a hunger per se, but your shield requires resources to be gathered, or you to find a cave system to get shelter in, and it can be everything from extreme cold to toxic rain and extreme heat that uses your shield.

Or some carnivores can just come and eat you.
>>
>>337347317
First of all ignore this because it's wrong: >>337347481

The main objective of the game is to travel to the centre of the galaxy. You start off on the outer edge, and you must upgrade your guns, suit, and ship, in order to make the journey. Gathering resources helps you build upgrades. You can also buy things from the several alien factions in the game. These alien races have their own lore and backstory, and you can learn about this by discovering ancient runes inscribed with their language. If you learn their language you will get better deals from them. Or you can shoot their trading ships and steal the cargo.

>>337347657
It's not a survival game (as I said the guy above is wrong)

It's an exploration game.

>what if i just stands till ?
If you are on an inhospitable planet (very hot, or acid rain) you will lose health and die, unless you have the right suit upgrades.

>do i have hunger or anything like that?
As far as I'm aware, no.
>>
>>337347657
I don't think you need to eat. On cold planets you can freeze. But the main thing is exploration, and I guess getting to the center as some kind of larger goal. If that doesn't appeal to you, there's not much point playing the game
>>
>>337347781
Getting to the center is ONE of the main objectives, Sean has said countless times that it isn't the end, but some people will feel that it's the end of their journey, while some will still continue to explore and survive in the universe.

So no, we're both right. Getting to the center is your "main objective", however, it's not all there is to do in the game and for some, it'll just be their first point of interest to find.

>>337347707
It is multiplayer in one sense, because you are all playing within the same galaxy (initially) and you can run into other players (which is extremely unlikely to happen at the beginning of the game, but could happen later on, when you get towards the centre)

But there are no multiplayer modes and you can't do anything with other people.

>“The reality is, actually for some people discovering planets and things like that is an awesome thing,” Murray explained. “You’ve seen, if you watch some of our videos, there are awesome things to go out and find. There are a lot of possibilities in just amazing visuals and aesthetics that you can see — and for some people, that is enough. That is all they will ever want to do, is see the sunrise and the sunset or whatever.
“And there are other people for whom that’ll just be a kind of aesthetic glaze. They won’t care. Because all they care about when they land on a planet is ‘What resources are here? What can I mine? How can I use that to trade? How can I buy a bigger ship? Oh look, I’ve found a rich source of plutonium, and I don’t care that there’s a giant dinosaur standing in the way.”
>“What you were seeing [in the 30-minute demo] doesn’t quite get across the scale of experiences, as well,” he said. “You can say it about any game. Killed one guy in Call of Duty, why would I kill them all? Some of the favorite things I’ve seen are just people coming across massive battles between freighters or something like that, and joining in and having this real moment. They’ve gone through this experience of not seeing those things, landing on many barren planets, and then finding that one utopian planet. It makes it more meaningful, especially if they’ve had to battle for hours to get to that point.”

So yeah, survival with exploration focus.
>>
>>337348143
He's bullshitting, this is from the latest info, which is in the article linked in this thread, which compares it to Journey and Dark Souls leaving-message-esque.

>Hello Games is cagey on this point. For one thing, players start alone on distant planets in a huge universe, so the chances of ever running into anyone are slim anyway. As Murray has put it, No Man’s Sky is not a multiplayer game. One developer during the demo compared potential interactions with other players to those in Dark Souls — notes left behind for others to find, principally — or Journey, in which there are brief interactions with other players.

But both of those games include actually playing with other people, while No Man’s Sky’s website describes the experience as being “parallel” to those of others. In other words, it’s unclear just how interacting with other players might work. Since everyone is working their way toward the center of the universe, where the odds of intersecting are higher, and Murray has mentioned before that potential interactions with other players would be suitably momentous, it’s possible this is something the developers are being specifically unclear about to maintain a sense of mystery.

It's THE main objective.

I mean you're right, it's a sandbox, so you can do whatever the hell you want. But the main objective of the game (if you wish to pursue it) is to get the centre of the galaxy.
>Sean has said countless times that it isn't the end, but some people will feel that it's the end of their journey, while some will still continue to explore and survive in the universe.
I think what happens is that you will be able to go to other galaxies once you get to the centre. He has said that there are multiple galaxies in the game, and he also said you all start off in the same one. And he's also said that something happens when you reach the centre, but he won't say what. So that's my guess.
>>337347964
Well fair enough, I just think it's better to describe it as an exploration game, I mean that's how he usually describes it. I guess there are elements of both but exploration is the main focus
>>
>>337346961
So I was pretty hyped with this game when I heard about it and saw the first videos.

But then all the gameplay didn't really show me much except that my job is to load information in a galactic Excel file.

What did I miss? I want to be hyped, it looks pretty but I just don't get what you do in it apart from walk around it and name procedurally generated creatures.
>>
>>337348283
And he also said that getting to the center isn't the end, it's just what you get to know from the start.

The intro is described like the end to 2001, and you'll know literally nothing except "the center is where you want to be". Not that "when you reach the center, end credits will roll" or that you'll get exp when reaching the center.

Something will happen, it won't be the end, but it CAN be a good ending for some.

If the game had building (shelters, etc) I might have bought it. Doing all that mining shit just to get better ship upgrades and your suit isn't as fun.

Not that I'm blaming them for something they never intended the game to be I just wish it was more. For me I don't see this game being very fun passed the first couple of hours. If people enjoy it, I'm happy for them.

>>337348283
If you'd say this was "an exploration" game and someone picked it up, and after three hours on their starting planet they were still fighting off carnivores, gathering resources, recharging their shields and being scared shitless of whatever Lovecraftian creature was lurking in the night side of the planet, well, I'd think they'd be angry with you.

It's a survival game, first and foremost, with an entire universe to explore. So yeah, it's exploration, but you can't explore without surviving first.

The truth of the matter is that they were developing it so that you could run into other people:
>You are flying around with an open lobby. People are coming into that lobby and leaving it – like if you play Watch Dogs or something like that. Effectively, we have players joining your discrete space.
>We handle the case like where other people can fly past in your game or that you can bump into other players in the game.
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2014/12/10/stop-thinking-of-no-man-s-sky-as-a-multiplayer-game.aspx

These days they are being coy on the subject. So either a) they removed that functionality, or b) they are trying to temper hopes of "multiplayer" because running into someone is so rare.

You're linking an article from 2014. I'm linking the latest article that had hands-on with the game. Yes, there was a time when they talked about limited interaction with other players, however they have never mentioned what that interaction would be limited to. Essentially, they never said you could actually find other players, they just said nothing about it, now they have said something, which is the info I'm using.

>>337348320
The main objective is to get to the centre of the galaxy, you have to trade and gather resources and fight off attackers to do that.

>>337348407
You're right. I can't argue with any of that. In fact you described it better than I did

>>337348524
Why the flying fuck would they spend three hours staying on the same planet?

The main objective in the game is to get to the centre of the galaxy, so they may have already travelled a couple of solar systems by then.

If you want to stay on a planet for three hours, fine. It's a sandbox and you can play it however you want
>>
>>337348797
I'm afraid destruction won't save in the cloud, just on your computer, so even if you set up camp, imagine how much it would take for their servers to house thousands upon thousands of camps on thousands upon thousands of planets.

Exploring with a friend would've made this game much better

What a waste
>>
>>337348590
Yep. I thought of it when I first saw the game as me making a shelter, surviving there for awhile while I horde resources and moving on only to have someone later on down the road find my planet and shelter and wonder who was here before. But obviously it isn't like that at all.
and honestly, you're giving them too much credit. "18 quintillion" isn't impressive if they are all just pallet swaps. The odds of finding a unique planet is really low.

I'm not trying to bash the game as it isn't out but the stuff I've seen so far just doesn't interest me enough to buy it full price.

>http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/no-mans-sky-hands-on/
>Each new place might give you the resources and items you need to build something new, allowing you incremental gains to travel farther, survive better, and see more. Murray said the game is balanced such that you can expect to spend your first two to three hours just on that first starting planet, finding what you need to leave it. The next two to three hours will be spent just in that first solar system, exploring it to find what you need to move on.

Why would they spend three hours on the same planet? Oh, I don't know, perhaps you really should read this article. Because it's what Sean said to expect before you have enough resources to leave the planet, and another two-three hours in that solar system.

>>337349150

>>337349362
Which is why I am hyped, because travelling from solar system to solar system until you find that amazingly lush planet with life will be a pretty neat experience, at least I hope it will.

And personally, I can't wait until I find an almost barren planet with just a few almost dead trees and then you get to a huge canyon and find some of those larger-than-what-you-can-see earthworms that were in the trailer, or at least something like it. Or why not a creature that can be seen from space, Sean has mentioned that they exist.

>>337349445
It's an exploration game if you manage to survive long enough to explore, and survive well enough to explore, how hard is that to grasp? There isn't a minecraft-casual mode to it, if you can't survive, you can't explore.

>>337349505
Which is hilarious, because that means they can't read or know anything about the game, if they did, they'd know that even IF it was possible to see each others positions in the game, chances are you'll all start so far apart that it'll take a good 20 hours to just get close enough to eachother, and even then, if you'd ever play without each other too long, it'd be another 20 hours to find each other again.

But the focus is on exploring. Yes you've got to protect yourself from creatures and sentinels. And eventually you will have to upgrade your suit if you want to visit inhospitable planets. But the main focus is exploring. The main focus is getting from point A, where you start, to point B, the centre of the galaxy.

You can play the game however you want and if you want to just survive on a single planet the whole time then you can absolutely do that. But the game isn't really designed with that as the main focus. It is designed with exploring, planet-hopping, as the main focus.

But as it's stated in that interview, without actually gathering resources and surviving on the planet you land on, you can't continue exploring.

But sure, you can try to "planet-hop" without gathering fuel, resources and upgrades to your suit.

>And eventually you will have to upgrade your suit if you want to visit inhospitable planets
What if you fucking start on one, or the only other solar system you have fuel to fly to only has inhospitable planets? What fucking then, you're just gonna go "I'm going to explore, until I die and load the game, I won't fucking survive man, I'm an explorer".

Again, that's not the end of the game, nor is it it's MAIN focus, it's the first thin you get to know when you start up the game, essentially "the center is a place you want to visit", but not why, how or when.

Also

And the gist of it is "don't expect to play this with your friends. There is no dedicated multiplayer mode. Do not buy this game if you want some online GTA V type experience. In fact because running into other players is so unlikely, it might be that you ONLY see the presence of other people from what they have left behind."

But at the same time, they EXPLICITLY MENTIONED that they were developing the game so that you could run into, and see, other players. It's ENTIRELY POSSIBLE they've now removed that - maybe it was too ambitious? Maybe there were technical problems? Entirely possible. And maybe that's why they are not mentioning that feature anymore.

Or maybe they are just not mentioning it because they are moderating expectations? The fact is, we won't know until the game has come out.

I very much doubt they will start you on a planet that is 700 degrees celsius, causing you to repeatedly die over and over again because you don't have the right suit. But sure, think that if you want. Makes me question why you are calling other people "retard"s though.

Some people will surely start on inhospitable planets, perhaps not 700 degree celsius, but dangerous enough that finding a cave system should be a pretty high priority for you.

Or you know, just get into the ship to recharge your shields and fly around until you do find a cave system, which will have the minerals and resources you need to upgrade to survive longer.

>>337350276
But it is the main focus, he's said that every time.

He's just emphasising the fact that you can ignore that main focus and just fuck around forever if you want. Like GTA.

But unlike GTA, I don't think it will be as fun just to fuck around aimlessly. Pretty sure the main enjoyment will come from getting to the centre of the universe. Learning about the lore of the alien races. Upgrading all your stuff and getting cool equipment.

But sure if you want to just run around on one planet then go ahead

I don't think you faggots understand how videogames are made.
Maybe if they had another year of dev time i'd be possible.

Of course they want to put in every feature they can. But it's not fucking wizard magic you retards.
>>
>>337350452
They EXPLICITLY MENTION not only WHAT the feature was but HOW THEY WERE ACTUALLY DEVELOPING IT.

Oh you're right it's OBVIOUS! IT'S OBVIOUS! Why didn't I think of that! Goddamn you're absolutely fucking right!

God exists! Do you know why? Because it's obvious! How can't you see that?! Look at the birds and the bees! It's obvious right? IT'S OBVIOUS! GODDAMNIT EVERYBODY GOD EXISTS BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS!

They also said there wont be any npc's in the game and now there are.

>>337350059
It is funny cause the game won't need any blayerbase to function. This is not an MMO. A comunity of a few 1000 is all they need.

>Dead game
you mean so dead that they wont make any money? It will be a failure? How can a game with a staff of 27 people and so much hype already even fail. Don't compare NMS to AAA shit and you are good
>>
>>337350738
It's the first focus you get in the game, if we can put it like that. And I don't understand where you get the run around on one planet sentiment from, because all I've ever said is that to explore you need to survive, and some planets it won't be so easy to just "get resources and bugger off", it will require some time invested, and if you don't feel like it you can just find another planet.

And as for "fucking around aimlessly", that's essentially the only way you'll actually learn the lore of the alien races, it's the only way to learn new languages and upgrading your stuff.

If all you do is just "gather fuel, go to next solar system, gather fuel, next solar system" until you reach the center, you won't even have to set foot on a planet, you can just get fuel from asteroids, which will make sure you don't learn anything about races or upgrade anything but the basics of your ship.

You keep saying "you can't run into other people" despite being proven wrong multiple times. The words came directly from the mouth of the creator. How much more do you need?

>>
>>337350685
>Some people will surely start on inhospitable planets
I'm pretty sure they will make sure you will start on a planet that won't kill you immediately. That wouldn't be very difficult to implement.

Yes there is obviously an element of survival but the main focus is exploration. In all of the clips Sean Murray has shown, he's been exploring. No creature has attacked him unprovoked yet. Same with sentinels. Yes you have to survive but the main idea is travelling
>>
>>337350862
Yeah filthy liars right? Disgusting it is not like at all that stuff can change

And those planets have been handpicked. How fucking retarded are you?

Do I really have to link this a-fucking-gain?

>http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/no-mans-sky-hands-on/
>Murray compared No Man’s Sky to survival simulators like The Long Dark or Rust, highly popular games in which the point is just the enjoyment of surviving for surviving’s sake. And it seems, from this 30-minute demo, that recognizing No Man’s Sky as a survival game — spread over a huge universe — is important to understanding it.

>an element of survival
The main element of the game, remove it, and you get minecraft casual mode.
>In all of the clips Sean Murray has shown, he's been exploring
He's been showcasing a couple of handpicked planets, and he's shown the survival aspects in almost all of them. Let's not even mention the fact that in a lot of those videos he's died (or the person playing) has died because they fucked up and got killed by carnivores?
>>
>>337351162
But there is no video where they say there's no multiplayer? They say "no, don't expect to play with your friends". Do you know why they say that? Because finding your friends would be an absolutely gargantuan task. It will take you hours and hours of gameplay. The scale of this universe is gigantic beyond any human comprehension.

>So if my friend and I travel to the same planet at the same time, could we play together for a while?
>No, and that's not what this game is about so people should be thinking that when they go in.

Because it's incredibly difficult to find someone. You can't just go to your menu and select "warp to friend". No.

>We handle the case like where other people can fly past in your game or that you can bump into other players in the game.

Oh right so they were actually developing the game so you can run into other people. And he has stated in other interviews that you can't see yourself, but that other people can see you. Okay then, so it's pretty likely that feature will be in the game.

You can't run and the movement speed of the character is staggeringly slow. Dropped.

>No, and that's not what this game is about so people should be thinking that when they go in.
Because he's telling you THAT'S NOT WHAT THE GAME IS ABOUT. Finding people is EXTREMELY RIDICULOUSLY HARD
>>337352027
You have one video, I have explained it above.
Meanwhile there are many interviews where he explains not only that you will be able to see other people, but even how they implement it in the game.
>You are flying around with an open lobby. People are coming into that lobby and leaving it – like if you play Watch Dogs or something like that. Effectively, we have players joining your discrete space.

Guess what? One single word "no", distorted, and taken completely out of context, doesn't disprove two years of interviews. Just like in that same video he's asked "will there be NPC characters?" (1:10) and he says "no". But we know there are, see pic related. I guess he means you don't see NPC characters walking around on the planets. But as we have already seen in the videos, you do find NPCs inside buildings on planets, and on space stations.

no they havn't he has always publically been vague. comments lek
"the likelihood of meeting another person"

"multiplayer esque like journey"
there was also a Q&A once with hello games and they said there is no multiplayer at launch.

basically, the multiplayer aspect of this gae, is the contribution to the species and naming of planets, maybe solar systems too.

if it is a profitable game I could imagine they would add multiplayer, or drop in co-op.
I doubt a massive server of people like an mmo ever, its too big of a game space

But that's completely wrong.

You are all playing in the same galaxy (initially). You can run into other players (at least that's what they've said, repeatedly), but it's incredibly unlikely you will find anyone until the end of the game, because the galaxy is so vast

Nigga I have no fucking idea. He has said that there's a limit on how many people can be in your lobby for one thing:

>The lobby that you carry around with you now can, it's almost like I don't wanna say because people will just test it, it can carry a few people. More than what you will see during the normal course of the game.
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2014/12/10/stop-thinking-of-no-man-s-sky-as-a-multiplayer-game.aspx

I doubt there will be any loading times. I mean given the scale of the game, they could make your lobby the size of a planet and almost all of the time, no one will ever enter it. Then as soon as someone does they just have to make that connection in the background while you play the game. You then wouldn't actually run into them for fucking ages because you'd have to travel the radius of your lobby.

>>337356208
This is from last year by the way, and it explains why they are playing it down so much:

>Given the sheer size of No Man Sky's universe, how often will you realistically run into other human players?

>"We keep playing it down because if people go into it looking for a multiplayer game they will be disappointed. It's just infrequent. And if it happens then that's cool, but it's not a big part of the game. We don't want you to feel alone. And if you come across people then that's cool and it will be a nice moment. I think of Journey, or something like that. You wouldn't think of Journey as a multiplayer game. You come across people and it's a really big part of the experience, but it's not about playing with your friends."

It could happen. Sean has said that friends show up on the galactic map. All you would need to do is hack a way to teleport to another location (which shouldn't be hard because the game already has warp portals in it).

I shouldn't have to find information from 50+ interviews, you pleb. From one interview of Overwatch, I understood everything I needed to know, including free updates and dlc, and additional heroes.

No m8, it's because of cucks like you that the industry is fucked. You haven't seen new footage, only the same recycled garbage of blowing up rocks and flying into space. You haven't even played a beta and it comes out in a month. Don't try and undermine Blizzard for actually making a good game. I hadn't heard of Overwatch until the beta and then I played it and was blown away.

Carry on shilling.

I think they spoiled what's at the center of the universe, basically one of the team members changed the game description on the steam store (maybe it was the no man's sky site) from "a galaxy to discover" to "universes to discover".
Sean said that once you get to the center, there will be an incentive to keep playing, my personal theory is that the center is the giant floating Hedron we keep seeing (with the red ball on the inside) and that is a portal to other galaxies, so the game never truly ends. My theory though

What's the problem in defending a game?
>>
>>337360809
If there is a plot, there is an end to a plot, the center will be an end to the plot and you can just keep exploring freelancer style
>>
>>337365564
Defending a game that -isn't even out- yet is stupid because you have no idea what you are actually defending.

It's very wise to be skeptical of any claim a developer makes, because their goal is to sell you the game, even if they know it's not great. They want to stoke up hype; they will skew any truth and even lie to make this happen. We've seen this so many times.

Just wait for the game to come out, watch some other people play it a bit, if it seems good, get it, then come on /v/ and defend it if you need to.
>>
>>337360116
there were lots of games which you could not play an open beta, we just had to wait and the game launches and we played, this is not a bad thing, weren't you here at the 90s?
>>
>>337366139
All other games in existance have at least shown off new levels and feature with new vids and trailers.

NMS only shows the same shit again and again, with a different coloured planet. Blow up rock. Blow up animal. Walk. Get in spaceship. Fly. Then zoom out and show how amazing our game is!
>>
>>337365990
I tell this to all idiots who call the game shit, the point is, where can I find a sci fi space game with the elements of freelancer that are not scientifically accurate and fun at the same time? The hype is real just for the fact that you enter in a ship and you move freely without too much scientifically accurate physics in the way, very arcade if you know what I mean.
>>
>>337366380
To some people, that is the point, get in a ship and fly without the boundaries of accurate physics, star citizen will be nice, but I want less reality in a game, in my opinion.

>>337366415

Well, I searched a lot for a game that could transmit the same feeling as Freelancer and I could not find even one, really, I don't know if it is because I was young and my brain worked different as from an adult, but I find myself searching for this feeling and no other space game gave me the sensation I experienced through that game, my last hope is no man's sky and by the videos, they sold me the idea.

I see that point but Sean Murray isn't VP of marketing at an 800-strong game studio. He's lead developer at a 12-strong studio.
>they will skew any truth
Christ mate you sound angry. Take a chill pill.
As I said Sean Murray is not some marketing guy and it really seems like he's deliberately PLAYING DOWN certain expectations because he doesn't want pissed off customers. Especially since he has said that he wants to continue working on the game after it comes out, probably creating DLC and things. He wouldn't have many customers for that if he pissed them off with the initial release.

There are no dedicated multiplayer modes.

Indie devs with a small workforce are generally the culprits in this sort of thing. The size of the team doesn't matter.

>Christ mate you sound angry
I am. Not at this project in particular, but in being deceived by similar projects. I've seen the warning signs for immanent disappointment. Getting defensive about a game you haven't had the chance to see in action for yourself is one of them.

Your point about defending against attackers, might be able to be conceded. I can understand the desire to disseminate incorrect facts. However, I think the best way to do this is just wait for the game to come out, it'll disprove any erroneous notions itself. Trying to defend a game at this point is just hurting it, because it makes it seem like there's a shillforce out there trying to preemptively cover up shittiness.

Either you don't know what disseminate means or you're saying I want to spread lies?

>the best way to do this is just wait for the game to come out, it'll disprove any erroneous notions itself.
Well at the moment I want to learn about it which is why I made this thread. There are other people who have read things I haven't and that's what I want to know. Also I wanted to speculate about how certain things might work because why not.

>it makes it seem like there's a shillforce out there
If somebody actually believes that I'm a paid marketer then I actually find that funny. So I'll just keep posting more.

The thing is, because I'm actually reading source material about this game, I've got a pretty good idea of what it's going to be. Even if I am disappointed, do I care? No. Do I care if others are disappointed? No. If they are not stupid, they won't build up their expectations into something unrealistic.

Sean Murray has said so many goddamn times what this game is about and he is really incredibly consistent in what he says. Just because he's been coy about certain things doesn't mean he doesn't know those answers, or that he's lying to people. Personally I find it so fucking hilarious that people are that paranoid and that deluded.

Would 343 reveal the plot of the next Halo game before it's released? No. So it makes sense he's not revealing every single detail about the game

“[Your friends] will be a long way away. People keep asking us about multiplayer and I think when people see this they are going to fully realize what it means to be that far away from somebody else who’s playing…

“People keep saying to us, ‘Yeah, but what if I knew where they were? Would I go there?’ And it’s like, yeah, but they are going to have to stay there for quite a while while you get over there. And then once you get over there you might land on the same planet and then you will say, ‘I’m on a planet the size of Earth and I am on a mountain. Where are you?'”

The chances of you actually interacting as is slim to fucking nil. Along with the COMPLETE LACK of a player communication system according to the dev's them-fucking-selves, its not possible to hold a chat with someone besides leaving a gravestone. No existant voice, easy to read text in an AOE, or other form of chat. It's fuckin' singleplayer.
