>>344071749
That means nothing, you can count from 0 to infinity for 5 billion years easily. RNG itself is useless
What possesses people to make stupid fucking threads like this? Does this entire board just get off on making zero effort troll posts 24/7?
>>344071414
except have fun
>>344071943
are you retarded?
this is a video game
It would likely take a similarly huge amount of time to explore every possible randomly generated Minecraft map. That doesn't mean that it won't get boring after the first twenty minutes.
>>344071826
why would you want to do that
>>344072036
Are you?
List these supposedly infinite features. Prove this game isn't just rng.

there's never been a game like it before and i want to be part of vidya history
literally the most anticipated game of all time imo
the august 9th release push back from june 21st rly pissed me off.
the changes they're making to it are supposed to be worth it according to Sean Muarry.

you're a fucking retard falling for the same lies over and over.
>>344071414
Because there are other games coming out shortly before, and after that I care about more.
I'll grab this from the bargain bin, or $5 off Steam some day.
You have to spend 5 billion years in jail and have severe autism and can only play either No Man's Sky or Terraria
What do you choose
Starbound also takes "a billion years to fully explore", which is exactly what this game is, minus the building aspect.

Well, it works.
You can do literally nothing, you can just do that nothing a lot.
>>344071994
Don't you know /v/ has to make false flags and invent reasons to shit on games so that way once they come out, they can continue to bitch and whine about things rather then enjoy themselves?
>>344072417
Nah, you are the fucking retard for actually thinking OP is anything but a shitposter trying to false flag
HonestlyI never got why /v/decided to hate this game, whenever there's a thread up it's like the devs who make it single-handlely killed the hope of dreams of anons and people are using the dumbest arguments to justify them falling to the hivemind.

Man I was upset that they said there was no ship customization
It'd be nice if you could find ship parts to use instead of just picking up a randomly generated ship
>>344073889

>>344071414
because it is never coming out
Guys so go over to r/nomanssky Post pictures of shit in a toilet bowl with the title, Look what I drew!
>>344074106
Well that's about all I needed from this thread
>>344073852
Shitposting aside, why is it that sometimes the load times for entering a building are really fast (10 seconds), and sometimes up to a minute?
Same building, different times.
More like it will take 5 billion years to make
>>344074196
Spore at least had a lot of prerelease information and promises that made people hyped. It just completely failed to deliver most of it.
NMS has never promised us anything beyond "exploring." I get the feeling that Sony has latched onto this once small (I mean development-wise, not actual in-game size) production and shilled the fuck out of it, completely destroying its presentation.
>>344073889
It actually does have customisation though, for the weapons that is. Look it up, every weapon has a 'rarity' type thing, higher the rarity the more open slots you have for customization. Can change the look and even how the projectiles work etc.
Wish it had ship customization, unique ships is badass if you actually find one you like but they did say DLC/Expansions if they do eventually decide to make them would be base don player feedback so maybe customization will be added eventually.
>>344071414
So that means what? Randomly generated environments with no conscious design behind it?
Is this a good thing?
Couldn't you make the same claim about Minecraft?
>>344071414
I own Elite Dangerous
VISION
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
small print: within the context of our game's limited mechanics, which means you can't do shit
>>344074256
Where did this meme start? It was announced for 2015, then 2016, got its first release date set in june and so far has been delayed once till august. Hardly a noteworthy delay compared to the loads of EA games out there or even MN9

>>344074667
>>344071414
The devs have explicitly stated you can't do ANYTHING you retards, you're literally just making shit up for the sake of shitposting

Not true
You can do a couple of things in a big universe. Game's gonna be fun.

I don't see why not. Someone's still checking to see if the terrain generation algorithm does its purpose.
>No building
>No customizing anything besides guns
>No personal bases or stations
Seriously, fucking name some actual interesting and fun features in this game. You hop on your randomly generated spaceship and fly off to randomly generated map and look at some creatures, and then mine some resources and then having to escape the sentinels if you mine too much and then its off to another planet and rinse repeat.
>>344074692
Delayed or not. It is never coming out.
>>344075014
They couldve done so many interesting things with this game but they purposely limit themselves for whatever fucking reason? to sell it off in a future DLC?
>>344073697
Not him, but "do anything" implies that you can literally do anything. Can you ride a unicycle while playing the trumpet in one hand while jacking off with the other in the game?
>>344074862
Oh you can do a couple of things okay I stand corrected sorry.
>>344075043
Did I miss something? What makes you say that?
>>344075223
It's okay anon. I'm glad were on the same page now.
>>344075218
Can I get a source, where did the devs say you could do anything?
>>344075431
OP did. That's where this entire debate sprung from.
>>344072604
No, online interaction with other players is just names of planets and the stuff on it. So the most you can see is planet dickbutt or planet gibe da pussi boss.
>>344072565
>Unless this game has some super-cool thing nobody on here has talked about yet, like bird tits or something.
Procedurally generated titties might be the only thing that could make me want to explore a world that, far as I can tell, is full of nothing but pretty window-dressing.
Like, is there a demo somewhere that shows some actual GAMEPLAY? Not just wandering around gawking at weirdly shaped ostriches?
>>344071414
The same is true for Tetris.
>>344075512
Yeah but I was asking about the devs, not OP, or are we doing the whole shill thing now?
>Video games are now as big as the universe
>Reality is just a video game
>>344073381
What's the cool features of the game except procedurally generated planets?
This game will be the next ELITE Dangerous. Really pretty to look at at first, but after like 30 hours, you'll realize how empty and shallow it really is.
Hope they prove me wrong, though.
>>344074642
B-but my algorithm!
>>344075632
>Like, is there a demo somewhere that shows some actual GAMEPLAY?
Yep, you might just be dumb and blind
I'd be cool with a game that is solely exploring except the game doesn't even look fun to explore. All the worlds I've seen look tame as shit. Where are the mountains, volcanoes, ravines, oceans, dense jungles, etc. All I've seen is rolling hills spotted with trees and some pools of water here and there.
>>344071414
Because I already fell for Elite: Dangerous.

>>344071414
>YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
Where have I heard that before...
>>344075218
Yes, you can, but it requires a server with SFM support integrated.
Can you imagine if you'd be able to conquer parts of the universe and have complete monopoly on diplomacy, trading, factions and more.
People would have to pay you or fight you to be able to explore your region of the galaxy, which would be mandatory for certain upgrades or just getting to the center in general.
I wish eve online wasnt so fucking boring, or else i could just go and play that.
>dude 5 planets recolored 100000000000000000000000 times LOL
Did you know that you could explore minecraft until the end of time and you would never see the same thing twice ?
I like reading theses threads, last year it was easy to shit on the game since barely nothing was known, now shitposters got desesperate and they're replying to their own bait to try to make the game look bad.
Gonna be salty as fuck when it wins severals awards because it's indie and supported by Sony so it already got his spot secured

This. Can't see myself still playing after even the first few millenia.

>>344071414
>>344071414
Can it suck my dick?
>>344075938
Well point me to it then because every time this game has come up it has looked like the world's first Massively Multiplayer Walking Simulator. Is there a goal? An enemy? Mechanics? Things that make a game a game?
>>344076734
>You can land on that planet
>It's actually not the size of a moderately sized neighborhood and actually look big
>It's not a lifeless grey world with rocky hills and sometimes lakes
Seriously that's practically all it took for nms to grow as it did, why did no one tried it yet? Whenever there's a space game planets are always an afterthought and most of the time they're only hubs which you can't actually visit or fly around freely on, well fuck that
>>344071414
>No Man's Sky.
>You can literally do anything.
So what can you actually do in this game besides explore?

>>344071414
>Someone uses cheat engine to toggle everything as explored in 5 minutes
>>344075958
Volcanoes and deep oceans have been mentioned by the devs but not shown, and there was a pretty dense looking bioluminescent jungle/forest in one trailer. Supposedly they're holding out on showing stuff like that because the whole point is discovering it for yourself, but I'm taking that with a grain of salt. Just as likely it isn't in a presentable state, cut, or never really planned in the first place. Personally, I'll be satisfied if it doesn't turn out to be Spore 2.0 and can at least delivers on what they've shown so far.
God knows its never going to stop getting shit from people who overhyped the hell out of it though. I still see people making elaborate fantasies about terraforming and leading fleets.
>>344071994
>Does this entire board just get off on making zero effort troll posts 24/7?
yes
>>344078680
Try tongue but hole
The worst part is this game is going to sell well because normies are retarded. It will be another disappointing game like Watch Dogs for them because they are dumb enough to fall for the hype.
>>344072036
faggit
>>344071414
This sounds 100% like one of those things the developer will be "blown away" by, when the playbase does it in like a week and a half.
>>344080159
Who really gives a fuck if normies buy it. I'm gonna get it because I want a comfy space exploration game with a bit more interactivity than Space Engine and that's exactly what I'm getting
Really hoping they put in VR support down the line
>>344080612
I don't think the players will be able to visit every planet. Finding everything in the game that's worth seeing is another story - and probably done in like eight minutes after launch.
>>344071414
It was so quite, please leave shill.
It's funny people keep blaming the developer for insinuating 'you can do anything' when they themselves have done everything they fucking can to try and keep people's expectations of a game made by less than 20 individuals at a reasonable level
>>344081176
>He doesn't realize this is false flag trolling
Oh sweet child, you have so much to learn
>>344079754
There's conflicting statements on pvp, seems like they can't decide to have it or not. Doesn't really matter though, your odds of being in the same star system as another player are insanely small, much less actually getting close enough to see one.
Its a single player game with minor online components.
>>344080159
>workmate tells me how much he loved watchdogs 1 and how hyped he is for watchdogs 2
this is why I don't tell people I like games, because they assume I've got the same shit taste they do
This is basically an overhyped indie game that is retailing for the price of a AAA title.
Wtf is wrong with people thinking this game will be any fun after a week of playing
It is literally just a glorified tech demo in some ways and will offer nothing past the few thrills you will get in the first intial hours of "discovery"
have fun faggots -- can't wait to see the disappointment threads come first day out
>>344074134
Except it's not and they've detailed the crafting system for your weapons, suits, and spacehips multiple times.
>>344080765
>I'm gonna get it because I want a comfy space exploration game with a bit more interactivity than Space Engine and that's exactly what I'm getting
This guy gets it
>>344079754
It's not clear yet if you can interact with other players at all.
/v/ memes about the devs avoiding questions and not explaining anything, but they actually have avoided giving a straight answer to if there's MP or not, but only on that.
>>344071414
THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE FUCKING GARBAGE ITS LITERALLY SPORE TIER
So why is this not $40 on PC?
>>344082216
Keep your expectations in check and it won't be
>>344072206
To actually have a single good reason to play the monotonous procedurally generated massive pile of shit, evidently the single largest pile of shit the world has ever known so far
>>344081562
>>344082057
That's very disappointing.
Why not just have a toggle-able beacon that alerts you to a player that is within 100 solar systems.
Only if both players have it active of course, then you could be able to send them a message like Buckle up jimmy i'm coming to kill you or whatever.
SO much wasted potential.
>>344082317
Just preorder it on GMG when it inevitably has a 25% off code like they always have for new shit
Or any of the other key sites
>>344082057
We know you can see other players, because they've repeatedly made a big deal about how that's the only way to see what the player model looks like.
So there is interaction, if only jumping around in front of each other like spastics while you mash the screenshot button.
>no multiplayer
>planets reset when you leave them
>>344082457
They've talked about putting in a more standard multiplayer mode into the game as a post-release update since they're such a small team, but who knows if it's still in the cards given that the statement was years ago
Would be nice if they can end up like Yacht Club and just keep giving out updates to the game since it'll keep selling like hotcakes
>>344074325
if I had to guess, cache thrashing
>>344071994

>>344075014
>No building and barely any customization
So what's the point of this game? All you do is fly around the galaxy looking at things?
This will literally be Spore 2.0.
So how many different types of planets are there?
>>344083064
Fly around the galaxy, upgrading your ship and suit so they're more capable of making it towards the center of the universe. Things get more dangerous the closer you get to the center. Raid other ships, trade or mine shit for resources and whatnot
I guess there's some background lore and stuff that comes with ancient ruins you can find on planets
I bet it will only take 5 hours to fully explore
>>344083364
It's a sandbox exploration game without any construction and very little customization. Game will be infinitely wide but incredibly shallow.
>>344083489
They're producing billions of planets for the universe by procedural generation so that's just not possible
I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing, just that it can't happen
Spore's problem was SJWs. The design team ripped eachother apart. Hopefully this game might have some better direction. Likely it will be Spore 2.0
>>344082457
It does have that. Stars will blink if there's a player (or maybe it was only for people on your friends list, I forgot), but you can't just warp around wherever you want like they do in the demos, there's grinding involved. If you noticed a blinking star 15 jumps away and they didn't notice yours, or didn't care to see you, they'd probably have jumped out or gone offline long before you arrive.
>>344075014
Not to mention there's literally no multiplayer beyond "Look another player found this planet first and named it". Going around being space pirates with friends would make this game more interesting.
And get fucking ready when it comes out to see a fucking million planets all named after star wars shit
Who cares? Its like saying with all the possible generated minecraft maps it would take you more then a lifetime to play every variation.
>>344083868
>Star Wars planets
>Not penis planets
You have too much hope in man
>>344083668
How can these planets be anything but randomly generated emptiness? Once you discovered the different planet types all of them feel the same.
>>344071414
Yes, but will it let me have sex with you're mum?
>>344084117
That's entirely up to how they go about producing these planets and how good their math is with providing interesting results. Should be said there are going to be a lot of dead planets in the main game and they've only shown off ones with life in demos because that's a lot more interesting
>>344083998
I just imagine there's going to be a million fags who think naming places "tatuine" is clever.
I'm fully expecting planets named "Kiritoxxx" or if the game allows it people putting their website links in like "faggot.twich.tv"
This thread reeks of desperate devs
>>344084554
No just one faggot that likes correcting misinformation so people can have accurate reasons to not want somethingI'm that faggot
>>344071414
>procedurally generated open world survival sandbox game being sold on lots of buzzwords and extremely bold claims
>>344084117
Of course the designs will start to get samey after awhile, but still, 100%ing the game by actually visiting all of the planets is physically impossible. The sun would die before you finished.
>>344084441
I think there will be too many living planets. And planets with life will be flooded with randomly roaming wildlife of several different types. Just like in every video.
The "Woah, such unique, many variety" effect will wear off soooooooooooooooooo fast.
Any word on if there will be ridiculous load times entering new places?
Prove to me this "game" isn't just a glorified tech demo.
Please.
>>344085709
It's meant to be seemless.
>>344085836
It has some form of goal, so technically an end point.
On another note; why aren't devs releasing any literal tech demos anymore?
>>344086009
Whats the end point supposed to be?
>>344086009
Because any form of demo might keep people from preordering it.
>>344085391
The figure I've seen floated around is that 90% will be lifeless, 10% will have life, and 90% of that will only be very simple life. The lush dinosaur planets they keep showing will supposedly be few and far between, its just the majority of demo footage because they want to excite people and showing a guy walk around a desert poking rocks wouldn't be very exciting.
>>344086174
"Find the centre of the universe"
>>344086009
Valve have been. They've just released their vr tech demos
Tech demos are only useful to make people buy hardware, and until vr there hasn't been a real push for it outside of consoles, and you don't really need tech demos to show them off
>>344085391
I mean, the devs have outright said that most of the planets you go to won't actually have life, so when you find one with it it actually matters
http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/no-mans-sky-gives-players-small-chance-discover-something-incredible/
>“Ninety percent of the planets that you visit should be barren, because that’s how it would be in our universe and anything else would feel fake. And then 10-percent of them should have some life, but that life 90-percent of the time should just be some grass and some shrubbery or whatever, you know, some insignificant life. But 10-percent of the time — 10-percent of the 10-percent — it should be real life. But maybe just birds, fish, and things like that, smaller creatures, 90-percent of the time. And 10-percent of the time it should be something a bit more interesting, like four-legged creatures. But that four-legged creature 90-percent of the time should be super boring.”
This is from last year though so it might not still apply
>>344086682
>Tech demos are only useful to make people buy hardware
Also to show off new software developments, like cloth physics etc. But there haven't been huge leaps for a while anyway.
>>344086754
So any planet with something interesting will be slight variations of things from Earth? No interesting or original alien stuff?
Because the concept of preordering a game is fucking stupid.
>>344071414
5 billions years worth of fucking nothing
>>344087015
We don't know if they're throwing in crazy stuff
All they've shown off is some variations of earth things
>>344087281
>And then 10-percent of them should have some life, but that life 90-percent of the time should just be some grass and some shrubbery or whatever, you know, some insignificant life.

Supposedly both terrain and creatures will get weirder the closer you get to the center.
>>344086754
Yeah, that wouldn't fly with investors.
>"So, you're telling me that players are going to intetionally find... 'nothing' and that's good?"

>>344071414
>Go to red planet with tree and dinosaurs and scan stuff
>Go to supposedly different planet that has the same trees in dinosaurs in different locations
There can be infinite planets but there is a set amount of biomes that all look similar.
>>344087516
That is correct from what I've heard too
so I haven't been a part of many NMS threads but the worlds look great and seems cool with the amount of exploration. Do you think this game could have god tier mods? Stuff like building your own station, modifying ships, etc etc. If everyone keeps saying the amount of potential this game has why has no one talked about making mods for this unbelievable sandbox?
>>344071414
I don't give a shit about how many planets there are. What I do give a shit about is what you can actually do on them, which at this point is just flying around and shooting shit and the occasional "Wow. That looks pretty great." discovery.
I'm really fucking excited tbqh. /v/ hates everything I like though
>>344083817
Care to elaborate? What did SJWs have to do with Spore? I don't remember hearing anything about this before.
>>344086754
>>344087569
They've already shown fuckmassive sandworms and those floaty chinese dragon looking things, so he was probably just exaggerating the "muh realism" to hammer in that not every planet will be Jurassic Park.
>>344087862
Mods won't work, because the game works off online play.
Although not multiplayer, they wouldn't want people scanning planets really fast with mods and naming them before actual players get to them.
>>344087862
>unbelievable sandbox
Excellent buzzword my fellow anonymous image board poster. All it seems to do is make samey planets and the devs already admitted 90% of them will be barren.
>>344087634
Trees, animals, etc have random mutations
They change the heights, shapes, colours, etc. They showed some of it off in some of their dev videos, and they do end up looking pretty different
Probably won't take long to start seeing the base patterns, though
>>344088125
So do you always have to be connected online to play? Seems kind of lame if there is no multiplayer.
>>344071414
how about you play with a blank piece of paper and a pen instead?
You can literally do anything.
>>344088147
Biggest sandbox ever made. Has potential for the actual world if nothing else. Stop being a little bitch
>>344087862
>>344087862
We have no idea how capable the game will be with moddability so nobody has even entertained the idea. Plus changing even one factor in world generation would cause a completely different universe to be created, so you'd have to use a new game for every time you change anything
>>344073567
So it's 3D Starbound?
>>344088321
There's multiplayer in the fact that you can planets named by other players and show them to your friends. But you'll never see another player character in the game.
Vapourware, and sensationilst claims like this make me fucking sick. Dumb shit like this, and watching my friends fall for it, makes me wanna fucking kill myself.
Isn't this just Spore 2?
>>344088553
At least being in 3D will give more exploration and combat capabilities by virtue of that extra dimension
2D makes shit like that hard for a procedurally created game
>>344088707
Only if you preorder.
Optimism is fine, just keep your money in your pocket until the vision is realized.
>>344088492
>Biggest sandbox ever made.
It's procedurally generated you fuck, it could go on forever which still means dick because if all the planets are as boring as the devs say it's an infinite universe of fucking nothing.
>>344088724
Pretty much. At least No Man's Sky is upfront about the fact that you can't do anything, so it won't be a disappointment like Spore.
>>344088707
You do know OP is false-flagging as a joke, right?
Like most NMS threads
>>344082823
I've been here for 8 years, incredulity still gets the better of me
>>344088917
No, it's finite.
The algorithm has mathematical limits.
>>344088025
They didn't have anything to do with Spore, that shit went down in their infancy. The closest thing was some creationists bitching about evolution but no one took that seriously.
Spore's problem was half the team deciding the evolution simulator concept was too complex to sell and that it needed to be a shallow children's toy, and harassing the other half until they caved and allowed the game to be butchered. Look up "spore cute team".
>>344075748
i feel bad, here is a (you)
>>344088025
sjws had nothing to do with it. there was a statement recently about sjws and bigots or some shit or the other. i don't fucking know. i know it's literally nothing though. it's just the common thing they are doing these days which is blaming FUCKING BIGOTS on their failures except now they are doing it retroactively
>>344088917
so its still the biggest with unlimited outcomes right?
>>344088626
Seeing another player is technically possible, just not likely.
>>344075938
Why haven't you responded to this post >>344077203 you fucking faggot?
>you can do anything
t. minecraft
t. terraria
t. cubeworld
t. every other fucking sandbox game with procedural generation
>>344074325
RAM
Buildings you enter and leave then re-enter are already loaded into the RAM and dont need to be reloaded again. This goes for anything loaded into the ram, it will just load faster since it doesnt need to draw from the S/HDD
>>344071414
Can you re-enact the final scene from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest with Steve Harvey as Chief and he throws a dragon Dildo out the window where he runs into the forest and has a three some with two Dr Cortex twins.
Yeah, you 'can't literally do anything.
>>344089409
No, it's outright impossible. Other characters don't exist in the game.
Know who else said you could "Literally do anything" ?
I'm not getting fooled again.
Can I have sex with my waifus in this?
>>344072001
OP told hard.
>>344089398
The outcomes for randomly generated things are bound by the software. Interviews give me the impression that their randomly generated planets/animals will all be very similar. I'm getting flashbacks to SKYRIM HAS UNLIMITED QUESTS which it technically did but they were all go to x and kill y or go to x and steal y.
>>344073567
yeah that seems about all you can do in this game, i was hyped for it at one point but i'll wait until reviews before i decide to buy it or not
>>344071414
But I do
NMS will be the comfiest game ever made
>>344089490
Not that man you're calling a faggot, but I'll give it a try
Goal: Get to the center of the universe, you start on a random planet at the edge
How it's done: Collecting resources and money by trading at trading posts, making discoveries on planets, committing piracy and mining shit on planets. Might be other stuff but I'm forgetting.
You need to upgrade your suit, ship and gun/mining tool so that they're all more capable, as the planets and general system get more dangerous, tough to get to and strange as you get closer to the center
There are planetary defender bots that do show up on planets when you start fucking with wildlife, but they aren't on every planet. NPC can also be hostile to you and you can make enemies of various factions in the game.
There's also other alien races which you need to learn their language to effectively interact with them, but I don't know much about that
>>344076380
this post got crazy meta crazy fast
Will there be a loli mod?
>>344089604
Cubeworld was all lies
>>344090656
The dev just stopped making it
Glad I never got around to buying it
>>344086754
>literally visit 9 lifeless rocks until you find one with something that may or may not be interesting
>>344076380
>since barely nothing was known
We still know next to nothing about how of the mechanics and systems actually work and how deep they are. In every single demo the dev does the same basic things and actively avoids showing us anything in detail.
>Oh, yeah, there's a cave here, you can go in and explore it!
>But I'm not going to right now, let's continue to show you shit we've shown you a dozen times already.
And they flat-out lied about MP and dodge any/all questions related to it every time they're asked. There is no MP at all.
>>344090969
People are going to be so butthurt when they realise that it's literally impossible to find another player character. They've been very fucking vague about how other players affect the universe.
As far as I can tell, they can only name other planets/plants/animals, and that's it.
>>344089702
>>344090969
They've outright said that seeing another player is the only way to find out what your character model looks like, multiple times. Interaction may not go any further than sight, but it will have at least that much.
Or did they make any recent statements saying that aspect was cut?
>>344091539
I've never heard them say that.
They always say "It's too big, you wouldn't realistically find anyone" they've never said there would be another other interaction other than "someone has already named this planet"
>>344071414
Why do you keep doing this to yourself?
>Only way a NMS thread goes anywhere is by being a troll thread
That's depressing
>>344088402
Keeping my expectations low in terms of gameplay depth, but I think i'll have fun getting comfy and exploran.
But then again, I'm that autist who had the most fun with minecraft running around exploring in SP, so I can see how a game like this wouldn't appeal to everyone.
why would I wanna explore it for that long? it'd be boring? at some point you're going to want to stop and just take it easy and settle down somewhere
>>344091712
From the gameinformer interview. He's definitely repeated it in video interviews as well. Its apparently some big 2deep4u reveal, so its unlikely they cut it unless they explicitly say as much.
>It will be so surreal to see another person walking around on a planet.
>We keep talking about Jack's dad from Lost, basically just to see them in the distance. Like, “Did I? What?”
>The player characters look different than anything else you'll see?
>Yeah.
>Will that be the first time you have any idea what you'd look like?
>Yeah.

It is not possible to meet other players. You see messages and names of shit, and that's it. There is no MP.

>"What we want is for the player to play with a sense of that other people have been there before. So what will reasonably happen is going to a planet and discovering that someone else has been there before you. You will see traces of them, like creatures they've named and things they left behind"

They also told us to buy Destiny if we want MP, those madmen!

>>344093653
see
>>344094071
Your article is from 2014, this one is from May 2016. There is no MP.
>>344094071
>like creatures they've named and things they left behind
So the worlds are absolutely fucking tiny or everything gets a GPS tag on it
>>344076035
Star Citizen looks more promising but it probably wouldn't be ready for another four years
>>344081562
>Its a single player game with minor online components.
probably just to dissuade people from pirating it
>>344094071
>creatures they named
People don't even bother naming their shit in minecraft and it doesn't even despawn and you see it everyday. All that's gonna happen if people naming dinosaurs "if youre reading this youre a faggot"
>>344077112
Why do people do this to themselves?
They do realize that by doing this they're only going to be disappointed when they find out the game isn't THAT spectacular.
>>344094183
>>344094071
The 2014 article explicitly states that other players will be visible and nothing in the 2016 article conflicts with it. Trying to beat it into people's heads that it won't be a coop Destiny-style affair and emphasizing the aspects that people are far more likely to see doesn't mean they removed the less-likely aspects.
Sure, its possible they changed it, but back it up with clear evidence. Right now "There is no MP" is just an assumption from vague statements that conflicts with other, very clear statements.
>>344096187
It doesn't make any sense to have a real time multiplayer component with the odd of running into someone else that they speak of.
They would need a huge server just to run the multilayer aspect. Thousands of players in a gigantic game world on one server who'll probably never see each other anyway?
>>344071414
literary anything usually means almost nothing
>>344071414
Is that when it'll finally be released?
>>344096187
>The 2014 article explicitly states that other players will be visible and nothing in the 2016 article conflicts with it
Okay, keep telling yourself that.
There are nothing but vague statements because that's all the dev is giving, they are actively dodging the question.
>http://gamerant.com/no-mans-sky-no-multiplayer/
>Rather than people actually playing together at the same time, No Man’s Sky‘s multiplayer elements will work in a similar way to those of Dark Souls or Terraria – both of which are examples that Murray uses for comparison. The first player to discover a planet will live their legacy behind on it (when others visit it, the message “Discovered by [insert player tag here] will pop up) and there will be other ways for players to make others aware of their presence.
>>344096827
Early August anon
>>344071414
I can't wait to pay 60 dollars for an indie game that features no multiplayer, has a single gun that does everything, planets that don't keep any changes I've made to them, and nothing to do but explore shitty planets made randomly by a pc that will all seem the same after an hour of gameplay
>>344097213
>20th delay release date
>THIS TIME FOR SURE ANON!
>>344097880
They would've delayed again if it wasn't coming out. Release logistics take a while
