The actual game will be streamed from their servers using an algorithm that pulls data when you need it and deletes it when you don't.
6gb isn't the entire game
That's not how procedural generation works, so either they lied for some reason about ever having creating a procedural generation algorithm or you're wrong.
And there's already a thread.

Not lying
he explains everything about the technology in this video

The misinformation about this game is amazing

I've seen parts of this video, but I was never bored enough to watch the whole thing and I'm not goign to do it now. When does he say the content is "streamed" from their servers?
Content being procedurally generated on demand and then deleted from memory when it's no longer needed isn't the same as streaming.

How did it feel when he pulled it from your ass?
>He fell for the "procedurally generated" meme
>we made a procedurally generated game!
>it also needs to be always online to download content bits
Wow it's like the worst of both worlds.
>>344716380
Server was the wrong word to use. What I mean is everyone connects to a single build of the game and then the information is "pulled" from Hello Game's release build.
The math algorithm creates only what is needed and deletes it when the player exits the planet to make room for more data
>Internet goes out
>Can't play game under any circumstances anymore
>Have bandwidth or connection limits of any kind
>this "game" will fuck you
>>344716654
Which is sad because my internet going out would be the only that could make me play a game like NMS. Needs an offline mode that has a few cool planets with their own set-aside inhabitants and scenarions, imho. That would be good.

>"And what's happening is, like, it's actually being generated as I fly around. None of this exists on the, like, disc. None of it exists on the machine, like on your PS4 or whatever. None of it exists in the cloud. It's just generating from, like, a set of maths functions."
He's describing procedural generation, not streaming.
>>344716603
Streamed was also the wrong word to use. The whole sentence was wrong. But I guess I'm just nitpicking if the point was that the 6 GB file size is misleading, because that part is correct.
The attached image is a screenshot from a game which is less than 50 MB.
>always online for a SP game
This guy has a lot of passion, more so than most devs now a days.
The problem is if this game can perform on the scale they're hoping for.
Is this getting a pc release?
That makes no sense though, they've already said you can play it offline but just won't be able to use the atlas, unless somethings changed since then?
>no man's cucks this delusional
60 billion seeds being fed into an engine =/= 60 billion different, worthwhile experiences
>>344714936
>game will be streamed from their servers
Yea, have fun trying to play this shit on release.
>>344714936
It's procedurally generated, data is generated on the fly when it's needed
>>344716654
>>344717731
>believing everything you read on 4chanThe game probably will be always-online just because it's 2016, but it's not streamed from their servers. OP made that part up.

>This also enables the game to be played locally offline in addition to online, as there is no server-side storage of the universe, with all details being generated on-the-fly as the user plays the game.[10] However, players will need to be online to register their finds to the Atlas.[8]

>The actual game will be streamed from their servers using an algorithm that pulls data when you need it and deletes it when you don't.
are you insane, or just retarded?
>>344716387
Idiot. He said it's not on a cloud, or your hard drive. It's just a bunch of equations fed into bigger equations. Not a single crafted, directed experience to be found anywhere.
>OP makes factually incorrect statement and obviously bullshit with even a bit of critical thinking without citing a source
>People fall for it
You people know this is coming out on GoG, right? There are no online-only games on GoG
OHH, NOW I GET IT! It's a single player always online game!! Thanks anon, now I know not to buy it ever!
>>344714936
this developer is going to get shredded by all the dissapointed casuals that thought this game is the second coming.
>>344718248
This. I have no fucking clue why this game was marketed as a triple A game for the CoD kiddies.
It looks like a decent enough exploration toy, but it's going to be incredibly niche, and the marketing is setting it up for a HUGE failure
>>344718098
That's like half of the threads on /v/ now adays. People don't believe anything anyone else says or that they say. They just want to pretend to be outraged.
Welcome to nu /v/
>>344718357
How is it getting marketed as a AAA game?
Everything in the marketing as far as I know has been about exploring the galaxy, which is the point of the game
>>344718098
This. It can't be what OP is saying if it's gonna be have a DRM-free version out there. Unless the version on GoG will be severely gimped, which I highly doubt since that would cause a shitstorm for them.
>>344714936
>>344715883
>actually believing this
They deserve the shitstorm they're going to get for their trash-ass game. Fucking false advertisers. Should be tried for fraud IMO.
>>344714936
>small team and limited budget
>"infinite content omg you can go anywhere goty"
choose fucking one. If spore couldn't get this shit right with 100 times the budget of these random hipsters, do you really think this game is gonna be worth a shit? It'll be filled with nearly identical planets that have a few different rocks and trees and mostly empty space. I wager after 5 hours of play this game will have lost most of its intrigue.
>>344719096
Nobody but shitposters trying to make /v/ hate the game even more than they already do talk about about "infinite content" and bullshit like that
>It's a act like a retard to get replies episodeI'm clearly not helping stop it though
