Just take a look at this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KHLwQ9IY-s
Some interesting things (listening to an interview with Sean and he revealed some cool details):
- all desert planets (Dune) and all water planets (Waterworld)
- carnivorous plants. They'll eat roaming animals too (Sean mentioned some poor birds that got devoured)
- some buildings and structures can be visible from space
- there can be very big creatures in the game (maybe not Godzilla size, but big)
- tornadoes, hurricanes, sandstorms, etc. are in, and planets tend to be one weather type. No tsunamis though
- no "cities", but think of the kind of settlements seen in the original Star Wars movies. That's what's Sean wanted to capture with the buildings and structures encountered. Less urban, more unexplored frontier
- You can name ship types if you're the first to discover it
shameless bump
>>344506506
>and planets tend to be one weather type
This sounds boring and limited as fuck, those aren't planets.
>>344506506
>>344508516
The fact that one planet gets one biome and weather across the whole thing really bums me out.
That snow planet they've shown is all snow planet, the same temperature at the poles as at the equator. That's really stupid.
Is that a man or a woman?
>>344506249
tldw. Got a summary?
technically very impressive, I give it that. But I still don't quite see where the game is in this elaborate tech demo.
it's pretty much a naming things simulator
I will buy it though, should it ever get vr support
If I get this on PS4 will I need PS+ to see what people named other planets?
Woman, just has a Tilda Swinton look to her, and talks very literally and logically, like most programmers
Seems that the game starting to show its actually limitations are starting to bring people back to reality. Its starting to look less "obvious scam with nothing good", and more "so its real, and it is ambitious, but you lied about the limitations up until now because you depended on hype too much".
This is good, I'd rather be disappointed with the game turning out to be too simple then disappointed with it turning out to be another spore scam.
>>344508673
Nope, just listen to it.
>>344510441
45 minutes for a meme tier game? No thanks
>>344510338
>but you lied about the limitations up until now because you depended on hype too much".
Nah, they didn't, people were making shit up on the internet on their own.
>>344510441
Did he died?
>>344510689
Nah, before they everytime they showed off the game, they just kept talking about "no limitations" and other PR speak like that. Nobody believed them, and it made them sound more like scam artists then game developers. They should have talked about the limitations and downsides to the game while on stage showing it off, and at other similar important events. They would look more humble, modest, and truthful that way, and people would be more likely to see that they were trying their best for this game, as they were willing to accept that there are downsides and were willing to share them instead of trying to hide them behind PR speak.
>>344510815
Who knows
>>344511026
>they just kept talking about "no limitations" and other PR speak like that.
Really, can I have a source? Because it seems to me that they've been pretty clear about the limitations, I remember a 2015 video dedicaced about explaining their tech

>Nobody will want to explore various climates in one planet
Even Minecraft has this.
The devs have said that day/night cycles exist because planets rotate. If they implemented that properly as they said they should be able to have that rotation affect temperature too. What if a planet rotated such that the same spot was always facing the sun? One side would be blazing hot while the other would be frozen wastes. Yet in this game both sides would be the same.
If that doesn't ruin your immersion I can't imagine what would, just play with crayons on paper because it sounds like that would please you.
>>344516564

Exploring a planet is pointless because it isn't fantastically varied like our own with snowy regions, desert regions or tropical regions etc.
You think this is minor?
You really would be happy with anything.
>>344517153
This genre is all about the sights and the money, and if something as spectacular as that doesn't exist because the devs were too lazy/dumb to code something like a tidal lock then the game and them can go fuck off.
This will be a glorified minecraft and you retards will forget all about it in one month or less after launch. It brings nothing new to the table.

Wouldn't it be better if the reason to travel to other worlds was because exploring worlds was fun?
Instead they've made all planets bland and the only way to get any sort of variation is to move on to the next bland planet.

You cant go straight into there, because the game needs to be longer, so you grind stuff in the planets, wich forces you to go to another, and then another, and on, and on...

Who considers it a masterpiece?
>>344517302
>>344517498
>Literally nitpicking
No one cares but you faglords.
Would that kind of planets be cool? Yeah, of course, but if that's what makes or break the game for you, then you've got very picky tastes. What about black holes or double star systems, similar cosmic phenomenons that are supposedly in the game, thoses don't count and you deem the devs lazy because they didn't think to add a particular type of planet?
>>344517302
>Exploring a planet is pointless because it isn't fantastically varied like our own with snowy regions, desert regions or tropical regions etc.
But that's wrong, when you're exploring a world you're exploring it "individually", you're never all at once in a snowy region / desert region / tropical region as you said. The game just somewhat up the scale, but that's about it.
>>344517772
Good, now try reading before replying.
>>344517827
If there was different climates on a single planet there would be little variety in what other planets can offer, different planet means different climate, wildlife, cities etc. This is clearly what the game is aiming for.
Can anyone explain the point of the game?
Is it like you just explore planets and find stuff or you actually have to do something?
>>344517661
Or you can just not act autistic and check the Steam's page.
>>344517153

They aimed for the cheapest solution to everything.
This reminds me of that mountain.

You trying to tell me that these numales can't create variety in planets if they let planets have 3+ biomes? And I'm supposed to be eager to buy this shit after learning that?
>>344517153
Tidal locking is not exactly rare, there are many examples of it in our own system, including our moon.
Another item of interest is Uranus, which is tilted almost 70 degrees, so it rotates perpendicular to its orbit. So it's winter and other seasons last 21 years.
>>344518120
if you know how to archive, you will know how many people here didnt knew there was no MP, and still people say that there is some sort of it.

Slightly better than cuck I suppose.
>>344517153
Space engine got that right, what's No Man's Sky's excuse?
>>344518217
Exploring a whole planet would be nice, but I think that's something worth to be its own actual game. Like a single planet, with procedural generation being used to makes it a proper size, and with the areas of the planets, fauna and flora hand-made.
But I don't think that it's really worth doing in NMS, where the whole idea is that there's a lot of planets and it seems relatively easy to go from one to the other, so I can understand where it comes from. It's not like every planet is going to be a jungle full of life so you'd probably be happy to visit one already.
>>344517302
Where the fuck have you seen this done in any other game? All 4X games always do this shit where a planet is of one type and that's all there is. So does fucking Star Wars.
I think the game will turn out to be shit, but your post is even more shit. If all planets had all biomes you'd complain that all planets are fucking the same.
So, in this game which is notionally about exploring star systems within a galaxy, how does interstellar gravity work?
>>344518427
If this game can't support full planet exploration then why even pretend? Why not have a few square miles on the planet to explore instead?
Sounds like you would be happy with that.
This game has flaws and you can shrug them off all you want but they still exist.
>"In terms of features,” he says, “in terms of design, decision-making, and stuff, we always say ‘Does this encourage exploration or does it not?’, basically. And we use that to cut out features. So things like base-building: we don't have base-building. And the reason is, it would just make people want to stay where they are and not explore. And we've built this whole huge universe, and that would be a shame! We want them to go out and explore. Or, for instance, each planet could contain loads of different biomes within it, we could have polar ice caps, and all that kind of thing, but then it wouldn't make you want to go and visit other planets. So we don't have that, and that's really purposeful, and that's our kind of vision for the game.
What's wrong with a dev cutting out things in his own game, that he funded with his own money, if he thinks it doesn't go well with the tone he want to make?
>>344518519
watch the videos.
>spaceships physics are like flight simulator 4
All space is like a giant atmospheric enviroment.
>>344518635
So, does that mean that planet revolve around suns, that suns revolve around black holes, and that the galaxy will slowly devolve into entropy?
>>344518629
It's a really shitty decision if that's his excuse.
He can make whatever game he wants but that doesn't mean we have to like it.
>>344518729
that would require physics calculation.
this game has no physics at all.
The skybox (sun) is the one that rotates, thats why there is a day night cicle.
>>344518829
> a game about astrophysics has no physics at all.
Dropped like a motherfucker.
>>344518629
The same thing that's wrong every time a dev makes a bad decision.
It's a fucking space simulator. There's no reason every snow biome on every planet would be remotely similar. Between different lifeforms, resources, color palettes, and light levels, biome variation on one planet would not discourage exploration at all.
All it shows is a severe lack of imagination on their part, and more likely, corner cutting. It also gives you a good idea of how limited planet variety is really going to be.
>>344518892
There will be some sort of collision physics, but spaceships wont operate like spaceships.
>>344518829
That gives me a question:
Is it possible to put my ship into orbit around a planet or will I just hover in a fixed point in space if I stop moving?
>>344518958
>It's a fucking space simulator.
It's a fucking space exploration game.
>>344518597
>If this game can't support full planet exploration then why even pretend
Nothing can support full planet exploration man, it's literally hundred of millions of square meters, you'll never explore something like that fully, I don't know what you're on about.
>This game has flaws and you can shrug them off all you want but they still exist.
Yeah, it ahs flaws, I'm just saying the flaws you pick are nitpicked as fuck.
>>344519029
It's a fucking shit space exploration game if it doesn't actually simulate space.
>>344518629
This. People that wants everything in a single planet would be better playing Minecraft, in which exploration becomes pointless as soon you already have enough resources for base building-
I just read more about this game, and it seems cool, but they still haven't shown a lot and I can't find any information on character customization or ship customization.
Hell, I can't find information on crafting.
Even finding info on what the goal of the game is is sparse. You're suppose to fly to the center of the galaxy to find some secret?
Why the fuck are they keeping things so vague?
Biome exploration is boring if you cant take anything rare with you

here is a "resume" of the crafting
he crafting system has not been shown much, perhaps on purpose
In order to craft things, blueprints must be discovered. These can be found in many places on planets. They will get more advanced and more useful towards the center of the galaxy
Crafting is done using resources collected while mining, or by trading
To craft something, select an empty slot in the inventory screen, and pick a blueprint to craft. The material requirements will show. If you have all the required components then you will be able to craft it
Crafted components live in the same space as your cargo, you must decide what is important
You can not build a base or shelter
>>344518049
Can you land on suns or black holes? wow it's so hard to code in a star or a black hole! you can't even get close to them you fucking bellend. If you think this is nitpicking then do you want me to talk about the gruesome pink tint that seems to be everywhere or the absolutely shameless repurposing of minecraft in a different setting?

>or the absolutely shameless repurposing of minecraft in a different setting?
How is this similar to Minecraft?
>>344519410
For Starfox, combat in Space is the main point, and Metroid features exploration and combat in different planets, NMS is aiming for space EXPLORATION, not simulation. There is already space sims out there and they arent exactly the best games, sims never are.
>>344519670
Because sims are not for the masses, and off course, not made for 7yo milenials.
Hopefully someone will build upon this trainwreck and make a game with a very healthy economy of selling different varieties of space kittens to other players from a planet that no one but you has been able to find

>why you will need to build a base when you will leave that planet?
Because the only ships we have are small fighters. If we could make our own frigates and walk around inside them, decorate and upgrade the interiors we would have a portable base we could take with us.
We don't have that though so I guess I'd want to make a base on a planet instead.

This game is contextually no different from Sins of a Solar Empire in terms of space exploration except with a cockpit view.
>>344519259
They barely showed much.
They explained some stuff about locating resources, and as usually like all other No Man Sky videos walked around for a bit, showed a brief moment of crafting, and that's it.
Can I visually see my suit/character? Can I build things on a planet? In what way can I customize my ship? Is there any co-op with friends?
These are like basic fucking questions that are never answered or shown in videos.

So, when I get to the centre of the galaxy what do I do with it?
Take pictures?
>>344519474

well what else is there to do? I was going to get bored and stop playing anyway. Being able to settle before dropping this shit like a bad habit would at least leave me with fond memories

What's the purpose of preordering on Steam?
Are you worried they will run out of downloads?
Just buy it on day one, it's the same thing, except you could be making interest on your $60 for the next year until the game launches.
>>344520234
>infinite procedual
There starts the lies.
>>344511026
if they talked about the limitations people would realize the game is just a space engine with better graphics. Its impossible to actually make a game around a map as big as just cause's, let alone one the size of a galaxy. People thinking you can dynamically implement a game are ridiculous. Bethesda tried that with their Dynamic Questing for Skyrim and a huge dev team and look at the results. Its fucking nothing. Turns out you actually need writing and design to make a game, which requires attention to detail to every aspect.
HOWEVER
If this game had gone a massively multiplayer space battle route then procedural generation could be forgiven because it would not be a single player experience. But as it stands its space engine being sold for 60 dollars. A fucking scam.
>>344520136
The reason they show so little is because the main selling point is exploration in all things; planets, gear, space ships, aliens, even gameplay features are being held back from being revealed (they did reveal for example that you cant talk to aliens, you have to learn their languages from guess what they are saying and finding tablets with their language on it which partially reveals what they are saying). They really want people to go in blind and find this universe that has stuff in it.
So you're totally right to be skeptical, I am too, there is just as much of a chance the world is empty as fuck as it is filled with content. Its all a gamble.
>>344519665
the pink tint is all there you fucking moron. Thanks for proving my point though, I didn't think I would be able to find a good collage on short notice.
To address your other pedantic arguments.
>And you think it's hard to code a planet that doesn't rotate relative to its sun and split it into two biomes?
I'm not contesting that fact, I'm contesting that regardless, it doesnt fucking exist. Reading comprehension.
>How is this similar to Minecraft?
GOING AROUND IN A FUCKING BIG UNIVERSE MINING CRAP AND CRAFTING SHIT.
LEMME GET YOU YOUR SMART BOY DIPLOMA, MAYBE THEY'LL ADD A BUILDING MECHANIC SO MY ARGUMENT IS COMPLETE.
If you want a game that's actually good go fund space engine. I feel bad for whoever's gave their buck to this in the beginning.

The issue is, all Doom had was problems and didn't have any cool looking features. It was an example of how to do everything to make a good game look bad, it's a pretty good example of how a game doesn't need good marketing to get interested parties to purchase it.
>>344520234
Wait, this shit is on Steam?
I thought Sony were parading it around as some kind of exclusive?
>>344520334
I wouldnt normally, but in this case it doesnt matter. Its an exploration game and the only way to benefit from it is to go in blind and hope the developer delivers. Im willing to take that risk on a genre that never gets a new title.
>>344520450
It will be on consoles.
That will explain alot.
>>344520232
It's much too late for you to be playing that card. You'e already expressed that if a game doesn't fit your idea of what it should be then it's automatically shit.

18 quintillion planets in this game.
They could show us a hundred planets and it wouldn't be a scratch in the surface of the depth of this game.
I'll never find those 100 planets they show anyway.
Or are you saying otherwise?
>>344520502
Its not an objective, hes lying
There is something at the center but you can totally ignore it if you want
>>344520423
Sorry, I apologize, I meant "instagram filter" intead of pink tint. This way you can identify the target audience better. Adds to the shallowness too.

Procedural generation requires assets to be made to be procedurally generated. Devs make the assets, set the paremeters and then turn on the switch. In this case the dev team is only 15 people making enough assets to fucking populate a galaxy. Its a ridiculous notion in the first place, even with their procedural engine. Likely there will be a couple dozen biomes that will be repeated infinitely, the same as the creatures in the game. To implement multiple biomes per planet would exhaust everything there is to see even faster than will happen already.
>>344520390
But that's what making me not buying this game.
I'm interested. I like the theme. I like the visuals. I like the overall idea and gimmick.
But they're aren't showing a single thing that's getting me hooked. This is not a good thing. As I've said, they're not showing basic and fundamental gameplay features and that's why I'm not going to buy, because I don't know what I'm buying.
>>344520423
>GOING AROUND IN A FUCKING BIG UNIVERSE MINING CRAP AND CRAFTING SHIT.
That's an awfull large definition.
You might as well say that The Witcher and Zelda are similar because it involves you walking around a fantasy land and using your sword and bombs to kill monsters.
>Caps locking

So do you have to be connected to a server the whole time or can you play offline.

Nope.

It would exhaust the content at the same speed in different locations.

I hope you do buy the game. I want you to spent 60 dollars on 2 hours of content.
>>344520281
Literally everything in this post is a lie or an insult. He has no sources to back up anything.
>>344520535
Everything shown is lost content for players.
They show off the fact you can get a jetpack, now thats a feature people will never get to find on their own. They show off the fact you can learn alien languages, thats a feature lost. They show a type of alien species, feature lost. They show 50 different types of biomes, features lost.
Its an exploration game, its a risk to assume it has content when buying it but for them to reveal everything like a traditional release is harmful to the core principle behind the game.
>>344520615
Thats one view; the other is that not knowing is exciting. They cant satisfy both.
>>344520502
The centre of the galaxy is the dev's ultimate goal for the player. What you choose to do in the game is up to you.
But of course to reach the centre you'll have to acquire the needed technologies and ships. You can't just fly their right of the bat. You move gradually closer and closer to the centre whilst exploring other planets so that you can maintain your resources.
>>344520503

Wait. You consider naming something, and that name being sent to a server, which then sends the name to other players, multiplayer?
Fucking Wikipedia is more multiplayer than this game then.
>>344520662
Anon. Players SHOULD know what's in a game when buying it.
How else will they make an informed purchasing decision?
I wouldn't buy a car if I didn't know what it could do, that would be retarded.
Like I said, show people several hours of video, just exploring multiple planets. In that short amount of time they can hardly show enough planets to ruin the experience, after all, there are quintillions of planets. There's so many in this game. They could never show too much content because there remains far more unshown.
>>344520617
Go fuck your hat, seeing as you're so good at shilling, you could probably earn a good buck if you got yourself a town crier position.

>>344520583

Yeah but NMS devs use the algorithm to change the shape and the color of thoses assets, doesn't that make for a greater number of possibilities?
>>344520751
>You can meet players, but it will be incredibly rare
Toodd, stop the falseflag right there.
>>344520281
>>Infinite variations of creatures and biomes
You do understand that the devs first had to make the assets that would comprise what is generated right? The fucking engine doesnt just make the shit up. The amount of biomes, textures, vegetation, etc can only be as much as 15 people were able to create. Obviously that cant be much. Procedural generation is just randomizing where its placed, and in the case of creatures, randomizing certain characteristics within a set of parameters and assets
>>344520662
>literally infinite features
>but showing off enough to get people interested ruins the game
>50 biomes
whoa there, lets not get ahead of ourselves. It'll be more like 6 recolored in every hex color possible
This is going to be the greatest game for the first week, and a huge pile of "what the fuck do I do now?" after all the shit is named by 'xx420EasyMoneySniperxx'
>>344520806
>Anon. Players SHOULD know what's in a game when buying it.
Unless the purpose of that game is finding out yourself, which in the case of NMS it is.
>>344520234
>infinite procedural
Modeling some assets and copying them an infinite amount of times is not an infinite amount of content. Its just a bunch of the same fucking assets over and over.
>>344520425
Right but my point is you're assuming he must actually care because he took the time to enter the thread and post when A. he did not actually even have to enter the thread and B. typing a few short sentences on a keyboard is quite simple and hardly time consuming. Shitposting takes zero effort so just because somebody bothers to do it does not mean they actually must care.
>>344520716
So the exciting part is buying a game that could either be the next Spore and losing $60?
Why not just wait a couple days after release before blowing your money? Because at that point it's not about gambling or different viewpoints, it's stupidity and hindsight.

>>344520794
It's entirely possible to bump into other players. But between the size of the galaxy, the distance between planets and instancing the chance of you finding someone else is very low.
There's also the question of what happens when you log out. If you log back in will they still be there or will you have been shifted to a different instance?
>>344520929
>Why not just wait a couple days after release before blowing your money?
Because then why play the game at all? Its an exploration game, if I wait until after I know everything about it then there is no reason for me to play it.
>>344520826
This engine uses a new type of procedural generation.

Good job op. Why are you keep making this threads. What is your agenda here?
Hahaha numale haha. Colour palat swap haha. Did they throw you out of the dev team or something? Why so assblasted?

>>344520986
>yes, you could organize and gather 100 anons in the same place, but they wont see each other.
Such multiplayer huh.
>>344521015
There's no reason to play it if the game is as shallow as the developers are making me think it is.
>>344520986
>It's entirely possible to bump into other players
Only it's not. This is a singleplayer game and is listed as such on steam and GOG.
>>344521034
Thats your take on it sure, but I would rather take the risk and be wrong than waste the opportunity.
>>344521046
It's not meant for multiplayer you dumb cuck.
>>344520984
Yup, this is as close to Bloodborne as the master race is getting
>>344520662
holy fuck nobody believes what this retarded shill is saying, right? Every game shows gameplay, its how you sell a game. These fucking scam artists refuse to show gameplay because there is NO CONTENT. Do people not understand what procedural geneation is? Its the amount of assets 15 people could make and copy infinitely. Planet variation will be EXTREMELY LIMITED. Creature variation will be EXTREMELY LIMITED. There is no multiplayer. There are no missions. There is no campaign. There is no story. There is no dialogue. The entire game consits of landing on a cookie cutter repeated moon, looking at the cookie cutter repeated creatures, and upgrading your show so you can get to the next copy-pasted planet. Anybody stupid enough to fall for this blatant scam deserves to have their money stolen at this point. A procedural generated single player game is not possible, and likely wont be until we have the fucking human brain on floppy disk
>>344521068
And there is every reason to play if they actually succeed. Except by waiting you ruin any chance of that enjoyment because you spoil the exploration features for yourself.
Again, its a risk. The only question about NMS is whether or not you are willing to take that risk.
>>344521015
because there would still be literally gorillions of other things to explore if the game ISNT shit? Losing a drop of the potential ocean to save $60 sounds like a fair trade to me
>>344521115
It dosent have multiplayer.
keep it simple.
You lies are as good as theirs.
>>344521073
There are multiple interviews where developers and Sean have confirmed that it will be possible to interact and see other players if you happen to meet one, but that chance is so small, it probably won't happen.
>>344520984
Thats exactly what this game is but with worse combat and even less story.
>>344521157
Your assuming the only things to explore are planets and animals, which isnt the case at all. There are entire features they have hidden so people can explore and find them themselves.
>>344520751
>Interviews
I ask still, source?
>You can meet players, but it will be incredibly rare
So more looking at shit, in this case people
>He doesn't care about seeing things
I'd maybe care if the things that could be seen were interesting at all. This game is going to get old 2 hours in
>You need ammo types, gun upgrades, ship upgrades, suit upgrades.
Oh hey, something mildly interesting. Sad thing is, it'll probably be lackluster and shit since that's not "the main focus of the game".
>>344521149
You would honestly have somewhat of a point if $60 wasn't a major factor in taking said risk.
>>344520662
I saw you could craft diamond tools in Minecraft and lost all interest
>>344521084
>waste the opportunity
what waste? If the game is what it says it is, then the opportunity will be present literally forever. If it isnt then you saved yourself the return/chargeback
>>344520751
>you can meet players it'll just be rare
They already confirmed that that's not true.
>>344521084
Just up you fucking shill. Nobody is stupid enough to think a company that is selling their game on how varied it is, is refusing to even give a glimpse of that variation. It wouldnt make any fucking sense. Please tell your boss to come up with a new marketing pitch and some better deflections.
>>344521139
Wait, are Sony fans still waving bloodborne around as their purchase validation? You must've had something else half-decent since bloodborne.
>>344521146
Tripfag right now so I can make fun of you when you're BTFO once the game launches, faggot.
>>344521198
You will "explore" anything untill you see the pattern of this procedual bullshit, and then, the magic is gone.
>>344521227
The point still stands, the risk depends on what you are willing to gain/lose.
>>344521046
Well that's how they want it. I think being alone in a big galaxy is one of their core concepts.
I think Sean once tried to liken meeting another player in NMS to the last man on Earth seeing what he thinks is another person in the distance. More frightening than pleasing.
Personally this a game I'd want to play alone.
>>344520949
I'm not mad, capslock isn't cruise control for ANGER for me.
I'm just tired of waking up to the same fucking thread, there's a guy that comes on my channel and he talks about how fucking cool this is and how he's going to buy a 400$ headset JUST FOR THIS so he can get all immersed in this crap. And then when I go to lectures, there's always this fuckwad who tells me "buy it dude! it's gonna be amazing!" every time I make eye contact with.
I'm getting too old for this. Here, you made me feel bad, I'm out. Have a better day than mine anon.
The rest of the thread can go fuck their hats.
>>344521209
>not the main focus of the game
It's literally the main objective you retard
>>344521149
>Except by waiting you ruin any chance of that enjoyment because you spoil the exploration
Youre saying that procedural generated content can be spoiled. Can you please get your bullshit straight? It doesnt even make any sense you fucking retard.
Will this need a joystick or is kbm/controller good enough?
Also can you get out of your ship and run around?
>>344521180
Really? Are they the ones from 2014 when they still thought they'd put multiplayer into the game?
Because if you watch a recent one like the one from March of this year Murray tries to dodge the question of multiplayer and when asked directly if it's possible to go to the same planet and meet up with someone, he says no.
Oh and I'll provide source because I'm not a faggot: https://youtu.be/1ORFgfhj_hM?t=4m1s
>>344521240
No, they haven't. Every single source confirms there is a multiplayer "lobby" everyone carries around with them. It's an invisible multiplayer bubble and when players get inside it, you can interact with them and see them.
Research.
>>344521238
The point of playing it is exploration, knowledge of those features and content kills the exploration.
>>344521249
So if you made an exploration game and wanted to keep a feature hidden, you would reveal it defeating the purpose of the exploration game?
You're saying a puzzle game like Portal should reveal how to solve the puzzle, it makes no sense at all.
>>344516859
i guess 'nu-male' aspect must come from a projected political or social thing on these people cause they look like how id imagine most all posters on /v/ to look like, other than them being over 18, and employed
its pretty dead on
>>344521332
Firstly it can, they've made specifically different procedural styles the closer to the center you get
Second its also features and gameplay they are hiding for people to find.

They showed all the basic gameplay features and what the incentive is to play through said story and game.
No Man's Sky developers have not.
You're fucking retarded.
>>344521472
They want people to find those features and be surprised they existed then to enjoy them, again, its an exploration game.
>>344521017
No it doesnt you fucking mook. Its space engine. It cant procedurally generate anything beyond the assets created for it. It can randomize geometry, it can randomize models, but it cant create aesthetics. And the aesthetics are white define the biomes. And the biomes are predetermined by the 15 man dev team. They might mix them up a bit, but its not possible for them to create more than a few hours worth of variation. Stop lying you ugly, ugly shill.
>>344521354
Did you even watch the video? He says it can happen but it's rare? Fucking lying cuck.
So ok, this semi-random-generated universe is big, Like really big. There's tons of planets yada yada. But what do you DO in this game?
All these game showcases do is fly around
>>344521457

>>344521590

It can randomize geometry, and models.
>>344521639
I did, they want people to enjoy features but they also want people to find them through exploration. Nearly all games today just do the first thing.
