Published and at least half funded by Sony. They want to make sure they turn profit on the game.

I was interested when they announced this 3 years ago.
And then it kept getting delayed.
And then it went from some $20 indie game to a full $60 release because of the hype that somehow survived 3 years of waiting.
I'll get it when it's on PS+
>>344961714
It's Mass Effect 1 planet exploration except you can control a spaceship while exploring.
>>344961526
It's actually a 6GB game you retard and you can't compare a game of this calibre to Pokemon Go
it's expensive because they have to take some of that money to pay for the bribed reviews.
IGN is pricey.

No, they're just getting slowly starting to realize that this game isn't what they were expecting, but instead of accepting it they choose to remain delusional.
It's sad, really. There was someone on the PCGamer article that said people who weren't excited about this lacked imagination, and that they were going to go make a dragon out of Play-Doh. Then someone else pointed out that you can't actually make anything in this game.
>>344958875
Videogames are inherently a scam, dipshit.
>>344962038
That's a pretty good list of things you can't do in NMS.

Can you fuck the fauna in every planet? This is very important.
>>344962503
Yes, but all their orifices are equipped with sensors that will immediately alert the space police to your actions.
Should I trust this Murray guy?
No Multiplayer? But that's the most fun part.
>>344962448
No multiplayer and the gameplay seems like it's going to primarily revolve around just travelling to planets to stick your gamertag on it.
>>344961097

>>344962458
You can kill the wildlife of planets or swim around in bodies of water. I'm not sure what you're missing here. Just play the Minecraft theme in the background if the lack of building annoys you that much. 5 billion galaxies. Can't leave your mark on all of them...
>>344962448
Would be impossible to implement considering the scale of the game.
>>344961097
Looks very generic and uninteresting. Certainly nothing that's never been done before. Not sure where the hype is coming from.
>>344962557
Good. I enjoy an audience. Pre ordering right away.
>>344962746
They will immediately start shooting at you, so that will probably make it more exciting as well.
>>344962746
Note: there are carnivorous plants in the game
>>344962713
>Certainly nothing that's never been done before
Can you name some games that have done what No Man's Sky is doing?
>>344962626
Elite dangerous did it somehow...
>>344961097
I can't wait until someone uploads a video of them walking around the planet and noticing it's actually super small.
>pay $60 to explore procedurally generated environments with a shitty survival system slapped on top and just about no interesting interaction possible
yeah nah no thanks, you literally just load up the game, look at a couple different recoloured plants/animals for 30 minutes before being bored as fuck and leaving
what an awful game
>>344962713
>Certainly nothing that's never been done before
nobody is claiming NMS does anything new. Procedural generation is a old as fuck technology. See Daggerfall.
The game will stand and fall with how good the Procedural generation is. And so far it looks like they did a pretty fucking awesome job.
It feels like starbound. Along with all the shit that made starbound garbage.
Inb4 critics are payed to rate it 10/10 then all the gullible idiots buy into the scam.
>>344963445
You can see
I don't buy the "planet-sized" meme but they're easily big enough so that they seem flat if you walk on them, and they look like it'll take severals hours at the very least to get back to where you started by going in a straight line.

Is this a joke?
Space games are rare nowadays, it's not fair.
>>344958875
it's $60 just like every other game, what's the problem here
Are there black holes and shit like that or is it just planets and stars?
>>344964683
There's black holes, asteroids and apparently double star systems are a thing.
>>344958875
/v/ can you imagine the shitstorm when this game is as shallow as it seems and everyone has that realization that the dev's have been dancing around questions that would kill hype because it would be illuminated just how shallow and boring it's going to be? I can't fucking wait honestly, you thought tortanic was big? Wait till this studio get's everyone to buy their shitty game with nothing to do in it.
>you leave a planet and it disappears
WOW IT'S LIKE IM HAN SOLO
Fucking retards.
>>344964775
>that realization that the dev's have been dancing around questions that would kill hype
Like what?
>>344962038
I can't tell if the false-flaggers are getting more elaborate, or if there are really people with expectations this outlandish.
>>344964854
The lack of multiplayer is the first thing that comes to mind.
>yeah it's a mp game
>no it's a sp game
>well you COULD sorta meet other players but the universe is so big it's unlikely
They tiptoed around and gave like 4 different answers to the same question over a few months.
>>344964929
I honestly think it's sarcasm.
>>344964854
When asked about things like multiplayer they say it could be possible but the "sad thing is that you guys will be on the other side of the universe so it would make finding your friends almost impossible". Dancing around the fact that there is no multiplayer, and it's just a boring single player experience.
>>344963846
They have already confirmed that planets/levels are not round.
When you enter a planet you transition into a "interactive loading screen" where you can fly around a screen before entering the atmosphere (think Destiny loading screens).
Then you enter a flat level that has invisible walls. They said some bullshit about the level being more "focused" and being able to capture the essence of the planet in a smaller more concentrated space.
>>344961714

Hahaha holy shit that's a pretty fucking funny excuse
>>344965146
I'm honestly not surprised.
>>344964975
If you look at the way they word it, there's never been any confirmation of multiplayer, they're just fumbling around trying to hide it.
>ha ha the universe is so huge, how would you EVER meet another player?
(We don't have multiplayer, but i'll frame it as an appeal to realism: you realistically won't ever meet other players even though it should be possible)

That's probably a lie but still, source?
>>344964975
>>344965017
Alright, but they've been clear that it was a minor thing anyway, so I don't see how it would generate hype if it was in. Any other examples?

>>344965773
>completely ignoring the fact everyone is slowly converging towards the center of the galaxy
Yes you WILL eventually bump into people if you get far into the game.
That lying slime should just flat out say "yes we have netcode and people who are on the same location will meet each other" or "no we don't have netcode, it's a SP game".
Fucking bastards.
>>344965813
I wasn't asking "what did the game do wrong", I was asking what questions the devs have been dancing around
>>344965773
>>344965886
No multiplayer at all confirmed. Anyone falling for this retarded dancing around the question bullshit deserves to lose their money.
>>344961097
Everything looks so fucking bland, like the walking animation, the shooting, the "space battles" everything feels stiff ad lifeless, it doesn't sem right, they could've put some more effort into makeing me feel like an explorer, pretty sure you won't be able to see your feet or hands
>>344965958
Well these.
They said there would be environmental cues, then monoliths giving story, now it's "no story"
The grind was never mentioned but is clearly there.
>>344965886
>yes we have netcode and people who are on the same location will meet each other
http://www.pcgamer.com/no-mans-sky-10-burning-questions-answered/
>However, Murray said player models will look different than anything else in the game, so if you do meet another player walking on the surface of a planet they should at least stand out. And, seeing another player will effectively be the only way anyone will know what players look like, since it's a first-person game and you can't look at yourself. Not that spotting another player will answer all our questions, though:
Look to me you just haven't bothered searching and now you're getting mad at devs.
>>344965753
Heres a source
https://youtu.be/Gg1S6vd1pf8
Around the midway mark he confirms it as they enter a planet.
>>344965886
Dude if the game is as big as they suggest nobody will get close to the centre. So much so that the goal of "getting to the centre" isnt a goal at all.
This just adds to the fact there is no real objective or its a complete piece of bullshit to capture american kids who havnt been educated to understand space properly
>>344965886
>>344965963

>>344966068
>They said there would be environmental cues, then monoliths giving story, now it's "no story"
Nigga there's lore and there's stories, monoliths giving you stories about a particular race doesn't mean the same thing as your character having his own story. It's a different concept.
>The grind was never mentioned but is clearly there.
Based on what?
>>344966153
You can probably jump pretty far when you have an upgraded jumpdrive
>>344966069
Then why tiptoe around for ages around the question? It's the first time we get that answer, in other interviews they claimed the contrary.
Also why bother spending time and resources on netcode (that can easily add 40% to a game dev time) for such a seemingly small feature? Especially for a small indie dev?
>Yes you might bump into people but you have such tiny odds it might as well not be possible at all, but let's implement that as well!
>>344962572
yeah
>>344965146
>When you enter a planet you transition into a "interactive loading screen" where you can fly around a screen before entering the atmosphere (think Destiny loading screens).
Source? I also don't remember any shit like that in Destiny either, though I only played that for a few hours.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqmJ8k9uBB0
The developer guy has a weak and petty character. And Anthony is an awesome guy.
But most importantly, the game is pointless. And several friends from different gaming backgrounds concur.
>>344963018
> game with infinitely less content than NMS, and just fuck loads of number crunching bullshit
mmm, really showed him.
>>344966069
The thing he's been completely reticent about is why you can't find a friend and play along with them. He's basically said 'yeah, you could do that, I guess, but you're probably going to be half a universe away, and even when you get there, you'll have a hell of a time finding each other,' which basically translates to 'why would anyone want to do that?' which basically translates to 'there's an actual reason you can't do that' yet he has utterly refused to state this outright. So you still have yokels who think you can pal around if you put in the time, and the dev team is just warning it might take a while, not that they're prevaricating.

Are you retarded.
Even if there's 10 000 000 000 000 planets in the game you don't have to go through all of them to reach the center, the galaxy is shaped like a ball, you start at the edge and work your way towards the center.
>>344966576
Do you have actual thoughts or do you just mindlessly regurgitate memes you read on /v/?
>>344966670
It is true though, the game looks extremely bland. It's also called "No Man's Sky", as in "No Men Allowed".
Look at that pubic "beard" and then look at the game. Can't you see a pattern there?
>>344961097
I'm usually quite good with a restricted FoV but HOT DAMN

>>344966490
Meaninful and good Procedural generation is the holy grail of game development. Theres some big industries all invested in this tech. Realistically tech does not make sudden leaps, i.e. VR for example slowly grew to the consumer product we have now and even that isnt all that just yet.
Why would a small indie team that is incapable for getting flood insurance manage this when huge giants of the industry cant?
>>344963557
There is combat and shit in the game too, I don't get how shitposters like you miss that.

>>344966667
Again he said it is first and foremost a exploration game.
>>344966767
I understand that. But to have that many planets still requires a big fucking sphere.
If i wanted to reach the centre of the earth i would have to dig. It would still take me a fucking long time, less than visiting every country but a long time none the less. Now consider that for 10 billion countries that arnt confined to the surface.
>>344966825
The ideal current solution is having handcrafted spot of interests seeded among procedural generated landmass, things like Star Citizen's approach for planets.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBYRIZA44Eg
Obviously the ground texture are just random noise at this point, but this is a VERY early sneak peek at it, so you can clearly see the seam between the landing spot and the rest of the planet. Since they hired CryTek engineers and the outerra guys, it's safe to assume it will look great.
>>344966815
This is PS4 gameplay you know.
>>344959556
>long as fuck spiderfingers in the reflection
>>344966825
You're right, the procedural generation is the most ambitious thing about the game, true, but apart from that, the gameplay itself doesn't seem like out of reach.
It'll be cool if the procedural generation works in this game, it doesn't strive for a realistic artstyle so there's that out of the way.

If you cant see all the logical gaps in their game then youre a fool who deserves to lose 60 quid
>>344958875
Why? The publisher believes it is a full fledged game to be sold at the price point that such games go for. Not all indie has to be 15 bucks platformers; if you want more ambitious games thn Shovel Knight or Undertale, higher prices are warranted.
Now, I am not sure if NML has the content to be the fully fledged game it wants to be, or if it is merely a mishmash of the 10 bucks Universe Sandbox and 30 bucks X-Rebirth.
>>344966825
>VR for example slowly grew to the consumer product we have now
HAHAHAHA
Memes, memes everywhere. This is a meme game using meme technology and is aimed at meme gamers. Just like Pokemon Go.
>>344967408
>Elite has MP
>NMS does not
This sole reason means Elite has more content than NMS. Keep strawmanning and thinking Elites flight model or physics is seen as content by its players. It's not.
>>344967443
I don't follow your logic. If it takes like 20 hours to get to the center and you and your friends are fooling around on differnet sides of the galaxy then meeting up with one another means you'll have to travel toward each others for hours, I don't really what other game do this.
Plus, it's mainly big because there will always be unexplored planets.
>>344967527
>merely a mishmash of the 10 bucks Universe Sandbox and 30 bucks X-Rebirth.
I think that's being a bit too generous
It's more Minecraft in space but without the modding or crafting
>>344967443
You have to grind out upgrades to your suit and shit as the universe gets more dangerous the closer to the center you get and if you lose your ship really close to the center you are going to take a very long time getting it back.
is everyone here this fucking lewd
Cant wait
>>344967581
Did you read my post at all?
My entire point was that VR isnt that great yet. Just like how No Mans Sky wont be great with its procedural shit either.
>>344967527
Shovel Knight has decent story, excellent music, hand crafted graphics, humour, tight controls, added content over time.
No Man's Sky has no story, stock music, automatically generated everything, no personality or distinctiveness, every video looks floaty as fuck, can't add content because it's all repeated cookie cutter bullshit.
Why does the second game cost three times what the first one does?
>>344961391

No, the publisher believes it can convince people this is the case (and seeing as they've sold over a million copies in pre-orders, they were absolutely right). It's obvious to anyone with a shred of incredulity or knowledge that this is not a AAA game.
>>344968151
They're not going to admit it, though. They'll claim it's the best game they've ever played and that anyone who says anything negative about it is wrong.
>>344967731
Because Shovel Knight has content for 5-10 hours, and the NML dev believes that the game has content for hundreds of it. Furthermore, NML tries to be ambitious, whereas Shovel Knight is a relatively safe one-man project.
Now, I don't believe NML is as the sev says it is, but that is probably their rationale. NML wants to compete against Deus Ex 4 or WoW legion, at least in the vague "big games of august" category. Shovel Knight was content to be a small, short game.

ED is much smaller than NMS you can really visit the planets all the planets are lifeless while NMS will have life on 10% of it's planets and atleast shit to collect on the other 90% having to be locked to sim controls is also a mark off for NMS but hey atleast you have MP so you can play with your autistic friend but better keep your fuel in check or you will die.

M8, not only AAA games sell for 60 bucks. Pretty much everything except Indie and Expacs do.

I wonder, if anybody on /v/ is actually stupid enough to fall for the ponzi scheme, that is No Mans Butthole.
>>344968269
I'll still pirate it though.
>>344968326
Are you fucking kidding me? Can you build directly without leaving adventure mode now?
>>344968315
Yes it does.
>>344968356
They've shown many videos with different typse of planets. They all looked pretty boring, but still, they were different.
>>344968356
No, because it's not the case and you're lying.
>>344961580
So you are saying BF4 is good bacuse it looks good?
>>344968369
Overwatch didn't even premier at $60. The industry has changed.

You obviously don't know what a Ponzi scheme is.

I mean what it means, buddy. You're all taking bullshit from your assholes.

Listen to the answers to their questions. He doesn't even know how his game works. It's all dodging the questions.
>it depends
>that would be spoiling
>well, it's very big, you know?
>that could happen, but it has never happened
>it is possible, but nobody has done it or seen it or has any proof, but it is possible
>we could work it out, but I like the idea of just releasing the game and someone will try to do it
>all questions about features are answered with "this will have" instead of "this has"
This is going to be a disaster.
>>344968803
Also, he keeps hyping the interview with new features that aren't in the game but "would be fun to implement". Is this shit for real? How are people so gullible? Especially when we've seen this same thing happen over and over again in the games industry. Every fucking year.
>>344958875
>why the fuck is No Man's Sky so expensive
Probably from deals they cut with Sony in exchange for marketing help. It's gotta be $X for PS4, and the PC version can't undercut that price by much, so there you are. I'm really curious to see how well it sells, and how well it lives up the hype. I bet the game would've sold, like, 3x more than it will if released within the year of that teaser coming out.
>>344968418
Can't tell if you're 13 years old, joking, or retarded. So, congrats?
>>344968362
Do you seriously consider mindless mob animals who run around aimlessly (sometimes clipping through shit!) life?
Because that isnt particularly exciting. Or do you buy the bullshit about each planet having an eco-system that you can tamper with?
>>344968529
yeah different colors and random terraforming
>>344968803
i feel sorry for the kids who are buying into this. nobody on here defending it is over the age of 21, i guarantee you. this is their generations spore/fable.

That joke at the start

You mean like the scope of your entire project Sean?
>>344968356
>Don't you find it suspicious that every "gameplay" video shows exactly the same planets, the same creatures and ships?
I definitely think they would stand to benefit from a less is more approach (although I believe they're doing that*). Seeing cool shit is fine and all, but when every other thing you look at says "HEY LOOK AT ME, I'M COLOURFUL AND SHIT" it loses some of the magic.
*From what I've heard in some interviews they've done, they skew the gameplay footage towards planets of note, but in-game is not necessarily a guarantee that every planet will have shit happening all the time.
>>344968803
>Spoiling
>So much content that WE havnt seen it all!

Are you serious?
When you have millions of one item, you give that shit out. He doesnt want to give a single spoiler out for an endless game?
fuck out of here.

No and yes.
>>344968803
I've only seen about 7 minutes of it so far, but honestly he doesn't even sound confident in his product. I mean the video is obviously shit considering they just start talking about Interstellar instead of this mysterious fucking game that people are anticipating instead, but what information is actually in this?
Check out this question at 7:05
https://youtu.be/Vv5j0O_FCSE?t=7m5s
This guy's ego knows no boundaries. Oh man I can't wait to see him defending his magnum opus against the hordes of ignorant plebs who can't "appreciate his art" in a couple of months.

listening to this cunt is like listening to lynch testifying before congress

It's like that 'puzzle' 'art' game which just turned out to be hundreds of line puzzles

>haha look at that shit game while I play normie go
>omg where are my moba elements? shit game
I miss old /v/.
>>344969464
At least that game was straightforward about what the "gameplay" was, they just cover up any prying questions with bullshit like "we want to wait until people see for themselves" or "well we haven't actually done that yet but YOU could".

>>344969368
You're really looking for reason to get upset.
Everything points out that the game will delivers everything it set out to delivers and when it comes out you'll probably be making false-flag threads about how you purchased it, played it for 30 minutes, then refunded it, that's okay, you can do others things this summer too.
>>344969368
The guy is the definition of an underachieving STEMlord. He thinks hes some kind of genius who knows about science and mathematics and shit. But all he could say about procedural generation was "THE MATH IS SO COMPLICATED!!!"
this guys so fucking stupid. He has zero confidence in his product. Every question asked he is bullshitting his way through and hes not even good at it. at least molyneux had me fooled for a few games.
>>344969432
Lol it's true. He doesn't answer half of them straight. It's all
>yeah, the thing about that, you see...
>well, you have to consider...
>yes, well, not really, but if you look at it this way...
Jesus Christ, now I can't unhear it. Every single time they ask him a direct question about a feature in the game he circumnavigates the fuck out of it.
>>344969593
fps space exploration game with no load times and being able to walk on planets.
>>344969368
>This guy's ego knows no boundaries. Oh man I can't wait to see him defending his magnum opus against the hordes of ignorant plebs who can't "appreciate his art" in a couple of months.
To be fair, he was entirely correct in saying thatthe science behind the ending parts of Interstellar wasn't very strong. At that point, it mostly stands on "it's theoretically not impossible".
>single player
Easy pirate loool
>>344969643

I agree.
>>344969689

Not at all. If it flops I will enjoy the fireworks. If it doesn't, after waiting a safe time I will buy it if it turns out to be worth the money. I always do that.
I'm just saying the potential for fireworks is huge.

He isnt a scientist. hes an ideas guy for a shit indie dev thats only game was a shitty Trials/Platformer game.
When they mentioned the film had some kind of scientific backing, he got stumped, he stopped chatting about it because he was afraid that it MIGHT have been more accurate than he figured. I know people like this, they talk shit and act like theyre super smart. The second someone in the room proves to be more clued up than they are, they go quiet in fear of being called out.
He is that kind of person.
>>344969847
You said new ideas, not new combinations.
Where are the new ideas?

How much of an achievement is that really when 90% of those planets turn out to be (possibly gray) rocks bereft of life, typologically randomly generated?

He answers the question "are there rings around some planets" with "ahhh... yeah, I think that's in. I mean... Yeah, I mean... If it's in sci-fi I guess we'll have to do it".
HAHAHAHAHA

combining all these is a new idea.

Not saying it will, but if No Man's Sky delivers its promises it will easily be worth the price tag.
>>344969938
>Where are the new ideas?
Not that guy, but learning aliens languages by monoliths to interact with NPC is new, I think.
Anyway, that guy was wrong in saying NMS had new ideas because the game mostly borrow from differents games and mix them up to do his own thing. It's nothing special and happens all the time.
>>344970035
>Is that supposed to be a bad thing?
yes. Are you a six year old entertained by random color and shape?
>>344961714
>the response is always "...ANYTHING!"
From who? Who says that? Even the devs say you're mainly exploring, mining and shooting shit.
>>344969931
>he stopped chatting about it
But, he didn't. He clarified which parts of the movie he was talking about, and those are the parts that are very, very loosely based in any actual science. He wasn't wrong.
>>344969957
I enjoyed this very much back in the day. What is it nowadays with meme everything? Meme games, meme political "issues", meme operating systems... Even computer viruses are bullshit nowadays.

Okay I get that at speeds below c it's normally years between stars but you have to at least try it
The game (at the time of recording) is months from release and they haven't tested this shit
>cannot enter orbit around a planet
>>344970121
Most planets in the galaxy are in fact devoid of life. Doesn't mean they won't have stuff to mine or search them for, or have unique layouts. Think before you post.
>>344970035

That's a pretty lose definition, m8, but sure.
It's like a whole new game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Press E to learn alien language

Will you seriously enjoy just looking at rocks?
>>344970024
so many questions he replies with "yeah...we might have it!" or "yeah were going to put that in!"
this is 3 months old. There is no way this shit game is close to delivering.
>>344970079
And if Fable/Spore delivered on its promises it would have been an unmatched game, even to this day.
>>344970242
>I actually WANT to run around a greyscale Minecraft and take screenshots of the landscape
Learn to read anon.
>>344970103
>learning aliens languages by monoliths to interact with NPC is new, I think.
Outcast did this. It was relased in 1999.
>>344970265
>Will you seriously enjoy just looking at rocks?
They'll clearly have stuff on them besides rocks. They won't exist without materials or something to mine.
>>344970274
That's what you implied.
Unless you've already changed your stance?
>>344970148
Different anon here. Yes, he specified what he meant, at which point you notice what a massive egotistic shitlord he is when he feels the need to point out that the magical love fourth-dimensional world of love is not scientifically accurate, on a movie that revolves around the relationship between father and daughter.
It's called artistic license and not one person watching the film would doubt for a second that the movie departs from the science and embraces the fiction at that point.
Only egotistic little shits feel the impulse to point out how
>akshually, the love dimension is not scientifically accurate you know?
This guy is a Phil Fish waiting to happen.
>>344970242
keep going mate I hope you have a nice time playing mobawatch and normie go while I play a game.
>>344970279
Ah, then I stand by my other point, most originals ideas have been used already and it's up to the devs to take what they want and learn from the games that tried it before.
>>344970205
My point is, the layouts are unique precisely because they are RNG generated.
Let's put it this way, if the mining part of Mass Effect was expanded to be considered a whole game, even if 9/10 planets you visited had nothing on them of interest (apart from the possibility of a monolith you will MAYBE find in an hour of searching), would you still be excited about the prospect of playing that game?
>people so desperate to shitpost they try to say NMS doesn't have a unique concept
It's going to completely fail at executing the idea, but come on retards, there's plenty of things to shit on the game for, you don't have to make shit up.
>>344970265
Well, remember we did see a different early version of Spore on video that got scrapped.
Somewhere there's a parallel dimension in which EA's execs weren't total dumbasses and we got that game instead.
>>344970148
Because of the love plot line...?
Film was garbage btw but not because of the science behind it.
>>344970397

WOW, calm down there, m8, don't set your goals too high.
>>344970346
>That's what you implied.
No, it's what you thought. I was referring to the technical aspects of it and whether it was impressive or not. Follow the reply chain and actually read this time.
>>344970498
>Somewhere there's a parallel dimension in which EA's execs weren't total dumbasses
Hahahah. Sorry friend, but even with infinite parallel dimensions, you can't defy reality.
>>344970335
If that's the point, then every planet is just there to be grinded. Planets, the new mobs.
Is this a good thing in your opinion?
>>344970397
>he feels the need to point out that the magical love fourth-dimensional world of love is not scientifically accurate, on a movie that revolves around the relationship between father and daughter.
He was literally asked about how he felt about Interstellar's interpretation of a black hole and how that related to the game he was making. Jesus Christ.
>>344969482
>>344970404
>>344970594
Every enemy or area in every game in existence exists to be grinded if you want to look at it that way.
>>344970498
>Hey we have this amazing game.
>Lets scrap it!
We saw the opening sequence of Watchdogs too. But anyone with a brain knew it was scripted.
it was scrapped because the scope was too vast. They didnt scrap it because they felt like it. If you have an amazing game you release it. Theres a difference between tweaking and casualising a game and removing a huge feature.
The early version of Spore was like a bullshot. You fell for it despite the game never releasing.
>>344970567
ad hom all you like, m8
and keep changing your argument, apparently
>>344970646
No, there's no inherent reason for grinding stuff that doesn't reward you for acquiring more of whatever resource they produce.
Your argument of perspective is simplistic and flawed. Try again.

>>344963004
what exactly is it doing? running a script to generate random terrain? you can do that in unity or unreal engine too, just get some plugins, and then you can explore it too
>does a planet atmosphere vary depending on the planet's size
>buzzwords
He didn't answer the question though, and he spoke for half a minute.
>preordering anything
its always a scam because you're giving them money NOW for no reason
stop being a retard
So, I'm guessing the AI creatures are just gonna wander around randomly/in a circle and be totally fucking lifeless with the only interaction being to shoot them. What's the point in exploring then? It's like ARK without the taming/breeding/multiplayer/base building.
>>344970697
>No, there's no inherent reason for grinding stuff that doesn't reward you for acquiring more of whatever resource they produce.
Obviously you will be rewarded for it. Why wouldn't you be?
