I reckon the game will amount to that for some people. Meditative, certainly, but I think for some people it'll come to point to spiritual thoughts.
You have the power to roam the universe, you have untold number of planets to set down on, and you know that there's just so much you'll miss out on through the sheer fact of the size of the universe. It's a digital simulacrum of the universe we are in, but it'll make the point about the real one's size just as handily: we're not even a mote of dust in the scale of things, and the sum of all human knowledge can not make most of creation available to us.
We're locked into cosmic quarantine, until some superior species arrives, or we stumble onto another paradigm shift, scientifically.
There'll be moments where I just stop and think, looking out into the vastness of simulated space.
I bet the gameplay is so fucking boring that you won't want to go to the other planets and just go to the ones where you know there's shit to do.
That's what can potentially go wrong, what the fuck am I doing in this huge generated world/
Spore 2.0
why don't you just go outside and look into the vastness of real space, you turd. this post is almost as bad as the game.
>>344734675
What makes you think that?
I mean with our level of technology currently we're just not gonna get to that level of detail with procedural generation.
I mean eventually you'll see it all so to speak.
>>344734596
everyone keeps saying this game will be like minecraft. IT'S NOTHING LIKE MINECRAFT. there is no multiplayer. you don't build anything.
>>344734767
It's a game that's advertises to be something huge with "infinite" this and "infinite" that but no real substance or incentive to keep playing or doing all these "infinite" things.
AKA Spore 2.0
>>344735187
I see how you might think that. But you have to keep in mind that unlike spore, they have people that actually know what they are doing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcEA41eBOGs
>>344735471
>they have people that actually know what they are doing
Showing very little of the game to "keep people from being spoiled" doesn't seem like a good way to sell the game.
Them showing so little of this "infinite" world space and it's features is literally the only reason I'm not buying this game.
I don't have high hopes, but it could make a good comfy simulator.
It's gotten to a point where I can't tell if these constant threads are false flags or not
>wow people are talking about a game
Discussions been dead for this for months and months eat my shorts
>>344735471
this literally looks like Spore hype.
>>344735471
>they have people that actually know what they are doing
You mean apart from having the fucking grandfather of the simulation genre making the game.
I have no doubt the game will be fun for a little while. But it's gonna get really boring really fast. Procedural generation has never been a good substitute for actual content.
>western developers
You will never want to explore more after a certain point because you'll realize that everything's the same shit just color swapped.
>>344734596
Gotta love the ironic shilling campaign space Minecraft is getting.
Not gonna pay $60 for a procedurally generated smelly turd.
>>344737647
We talked a lot about this internally. The idea is to false shitpost all over this game. But do it in such an obvious and stupid way that will it actually fail and get the comments to defend the titel. Thus making them like it unconsciously.
How do you like it so far?
>>344738025
None.
Try adding something to do in your game instead.
>>344735187
>its a comparison to spore episode
spore crashed because it made material promises which were later walked back by EA.
that isn't what's happening here.
>>344735893
the game releases in less than a month. its no surprise that people are starting to talk about it. especially given that there hasn't been anything notable released since May.
So.. Are there missions? Quests? Objectives? Varied equipment?
I feel like the developer hasn't given us a reason to do any of these things. I guess I'm just older now and it's harder for me to just have fun in a sandbox, but I need some sort of reason or incentive to keep progressing.
>>344738256
not much has been said except that the overall objective will be to reach the center of the galaxy.
as for equipment, there different configurations to your main tool to get, and spaceships are procedurally generated as well.
>>344738452
>overall objective will be to reach the center of the galaxy
okay now i understand the spore comparisons
>each planet only has one environment, one temperature, one colour
>>344738452
I like the fact that things are shrouded in "mystery." But after awhile "it's a mystery" starts to sound like "There's nothing."
>>344738256
>missions? Quests? Objectives?
whats the difference? Anyway game has a story and quests yes. You can join fractions, do missions for them
>>344735471
Is shilling an efficient market strategy? I've Always wondered
>>344738716
i don't know man. The videos from may kinda show a lot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-uMFHoF8VA
Ok, so what can you actually do? You fly to different planets, walk around and look at flora and fauna. Is there more to it? Do the space police still roll up on you if you kill an animal on an uncharted planet?
>>344739013
I will watch this later. I can't tell if your being sarcastic or not but I will find out. Thank you.
>>344738574
That's the engine limitation. If they did more biomes per planet they will spawn randomly and look ugly. You can't make polar caps on a north pole just because engine doesn't know where the fuck it is.
>>344739561
Um, the whole point of code is to make the game doing something very specific. You can most definitely specify where an area of a planet generates a certain terrain type if you're a professional coder.
That's not engine limitation, that's laziness.
>>344739462
no I'm not sarcastic. They said they didn't want to spoil anything from the story so you wont see much about that. But there will be one.
Hell everyone was fine with freespace 2 and its randomly generated missions and simple trade.
NMS has that plus the exploration part, crafting, a level up system and survival mechanics. That's pretty much all i need
>>344740136
I'm not an expert on this, but that has something to do with voxel engine limitations. You can't just do a spherical planet if you use voxels apparently. You make a cube planet and then apply some transformations to make it looks like a sphere ingame. There are several ways to do this with different drawbacks.
>>344739561
Sounds like an excuse to me
>>344734596
I played elite dangerous for 300 hours single player. Im sure this game will do fine.
>>344741270
300 hours of elite? What did you? Dock ten times?
I like the infinite exploration idea but I'm realy sceptical about it. A million different planets will probably translate into 15 or so different ones, with slightly different sky colours and miniscule differences in wildlife and so on resulting in a million 'different' planets.
I also really don't like the graphical style.
>>344735665
How the fuck are they supposed to show that I mean really how?
>>344743565
Maybe jump around to random planets?
The game is coming out in a fucking month, and we barely saw anything about the game.
How can people be excited for this shit? It smells so fishy I'm suprised cats didn't swarm the dev team yet.It's like there's nothing to show

Again how the fuck do you show this game it's not like anything else out there and you can't just "Show infinite generation" and you can replicate how someone is going to feel while playing the game.
>>344734596
People are still playing MGSV and Battleborn, so I'm sure it will something to someone, no matter what.
just play Normans sky and get it over with.

show something worth playing the game for? It literally looks like 12 piece each for sky, grass, water, animal A, etc available in every HEX color. You can't fool people with false variety
Show more videos with something INTERESTING. If you refuse to show more videos proving that the game isn't just .hack level stage generation then you dont deserve my money because it's looking like this game isn't for me just from the lack of anything hype shown

They did already, guess you either didn't watch or just ain't interested in it.

There's a lot of retards who think this will be the next OG elite//minecraft/whatever autistic series gets them hard.
They refuse to even acknowledge the possibility that they're gonna get fucked, and will defend this shit game with every waking hour until they get their hands on it and realize that there's no multiplayer, no building, no construction of anything, really, and every planet has dinosaurs. Some planets will have dinosaurs with 3 eyes. Some will have dinos with 3 legs.
>>344735893
No, it is a surprise people are starting to talk about it because there is nothing to talk about.
>>344747767thanks doc
it'll never cease to amaze me how you can gain a following on fucking nothing. Why are standards so low?
900mb of game,1.2GB of textures, 4GB of music.
i garuntee this is it, every video of that guy being interviewed he looks fucking bi-polar schizo like he can't handle lying about the game because its going to bomb because of how little content there is in the game.
I just want the game to come out so I can tell my co-worker to shut the fuck up about it. When has procedural generated content ever been good?
>>344747767

>>344748490
>space game
>doesnt have good draw distance
you fucking what? I could forgive the rest of that shit but how do you not have appropriate draw distance in a game about exploring?
Explain this shit devs/interns. I KNOW you're still in here
>>344748612
its true
i just looked up gameplay yesterday
big ass ships were drawn further away
but smaller ones were only drawn like 50 meters from you, they just appeared out of nowhere
same goes for meteors and shit
even ED has better draw distance and it also looks way better
>>344748702
>but smaller ones were only drawn like 50 meters from you, they just appeared out of nowhere

yeah but what can you do?
like can you mine for shit? enslave monsters?
no multiplayer?
>>344748085
That one racing game was procedurally generated. Although, they put much more effort into it too. They mixed it with predefined assets and it came out pretty good for a racing game.
I believe that game was called FUEL.
>>344734596
How much disk space will this require?

Yeah, that's what people like you thought, which is why you are this mad. Meanwhile, the people arguing with you are the ones that actually payed attention to what was said in interviews and presentation, and entertained no illusions that it was a "you can do everything" simulator. Cry harder.
Your face when you will pirate day one so cuck nu-males faggot cant steal your money and buy their strap-ons and spoil their wifes sons
>>344734596
when it was announced it was coming to consoles i lost all hope
if it was build for PC hardware it may have had a shot, but not anymore
such a shame
Your face when not even going to bother pirating it and just here to harass the marketing team for shitting up the bard

>Every single thing on the planet resets when you leave and come back
>Billions and billions of randomly generated things which will probably get old fast

>Developer is as vague as can be about everything
>$60
Think I'll pass on this one. The only good thing is the delicious tears from people who think they'll be able to co-op this because the dev uses extremely ambiguous wording, like saying everyone is in the same universe.
>>344735471
>they have people who actually know what they are doing

>>344750403
didnt the devs say that even if you could see another player, you wont be able to interact with them?
>>344749495
Even if it just had base/ship building that would make a huge difference.
its going to be worse than ED
ED at least has realistic portrayal and that makes it super comfy to just fly around and look around in your ship
ED at least has that, its still a boring piece of shit but it has that at least
>>344750473
You can kill them thats about it.
>>344750403
There's no co-op
In one interview someone asked if him and a friend were at the same spot on the same planet at the same time, would they see each other? The dev replied with a no. The steam page doesn't have a multiplayer tag either, only singleplayer.
>>344750473
Define interaction.

“[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?'”

>>344750775

>>vast 6 gigs
>/v/ talking about game programming
>>344750758
The way I understood it, stars systems are considered lobbies, and if there's two people joining the same lobby and meet up at the same place they'll see each other, and if they see each other that's interaction already and they can choose to do stuff together for a while, but there's no chat or special "This is a player character" icon.
So yeah, there's interactions, a multiplayer without interaction would look like Dark Souls where you occasionnally see shades of others players doing their own things, but they don't see you.
>>344750857

of or relating to a video game, or a portion of a video game, in which more than one person plays at the same time in a shared game environment: a multiplayer game; multiplayer mode;
a multiplayer experience.
2.
relating to or involving more than one player:
The pitcher was traded in a multiplayer deal.
And I'v said this in other threads the term multiplayer has been fucked over by drop in drop out co-op/COD/BF games with a join button when multiplayer means just that multiple players you can see people you can interact to the extend of killing them but the game can only handle maybe a dozen others on screen at once the has literally been said multiple times.

Ah, nevermind then.
>>344751201

It's a single player "experience" how hard is this to understand you can meet other people it's just very rare but I guess you can't read and don't understand nuance.

how is it that my question doesn't make sense but your reply somehow does?
if 6GB doesn't get you very far, then file size gets you sufficiently far?
the reason you don't have an answer is because you're a fucking dumbass
>>344751445
if you could meet others players the game would have "online multiplayer" or something similar listed on both steam and psn
take the coop and pvp from Souls
ghosts and messages remain
steam and psn would still list online multiplayer because they have to inform the consumer
>>344734596
Why do you keep making these threads? You post the exact same bait every time.
Why do you want to see NMS fail? You know you're shitposting.
>>344751560
Whats the point of listing it if it's rare? in Souls you can get invaded at anytime in this yeah people are there but the chances of you meeting them are slim and it's not a big huge part of the game as time and time again they have said its a "Single-Player experience in a multiplayer space", this is not a hard concept to understand.
>>344751489
'sufficiently far' is a nonsensical term because the devs can put as many or as few assets as they'd like into the game. Same goes for the 'minimum size.' Again, nonsense. Their game is small at 6 gigs. I'll let you decide if it's sufficient.
>>344751489
you're asking for opinion as fact. There isnt a 'correct' answer to your bullshit question only a group one
When 2.5 gb of content isnt enough to keep people buying your game then you'll know too-little-too-late that it isnt satisfactory for a game representing the Universe
It's frankly insulting how small the game is considering the scale you're trying to represent
>>344751827
>Whats the point of listing it if it's rare
because its in the game
>>344751874
But not a selling point like it is in Souls.
>>344751978
that is irrelevant
If invading in Souls would as rare as meeting a player in NMS the store, company, devs, whatever still must put it on the storepage/box that there is online.
They're withholding multiplayer so they have a selling point in NMS2
>>344752079

Yeah, why would you? You're probably never going to go back on a planet you already visited since it wouldn't have changed since then, so why would you?
>>344753402
exactly, who would ever re-visit a planet? some stupid nerds probably who have too much time on their life. I can literally imagine how they squirm when they get a notification that another player has landet on a planet were they created a landmark. sad virgins, really, it's actually good that games don't offer too much to do, it would be pretty confusing.
