If you can sit through this, you will understand why procedural generation is a bloated scam
Replace each point in the grids with a seed, or a plant, or leaves, or arms, wings, claws, etc
the dev only need to make a dozen or so parts and they can generate billion of "unique" object, with each additional part multiply exponentially the number of "unique" combination possible.
>>345225365
>Yeah, but since you'll only get to explore a tiny percentage of thoses planets, it's quite irrelevant.
Then why make so many planets?
Why not make a smaller amount of planets but actually put in effort for handmaking the landmasses and writing stories for each planet?
Oh, because that would require effort, I forgot.
>>345223557
I don't think you know how procedural generation works. They could have 50 different planet colors with 50 different types of rocks and 50 different pieces of life. That right there is already 125k different combinations but it would get old super fast.
Procedural generation is only interesting if the parameters are complex enough to result in emergent behavior. We as humans recognize patterns so quickly that any simple procedural generation scheme quickly reduces to seeing the same cookie cutter patterns. There has to be something surprising and unexpected that results from the generation, something that captures your imagination and makes you curious about the underlying algorithm without it being obvious.

Since when does hiring a concept artist and following his lead harder than making an algorithm complicated enough to generate star systems with stuff in them? Of course, there's nothing wrong about that, but that'd be a different game (isn't it pretty much what SC is aiming for, anyway?)

Uh, you do realize that the game was made by ten people, right? If they did design everything, the studio would balloon to two hundred people easily. Have you ever done any 3d modeling and texturing? I can take a guess and say you haven't.
>>345225414
That's pretty much true for all singleplayer games then.
I like that they seem pretty inspired by pulp scifi and old scifi movies like 2001. The interface / HUD makes me think of Destiny which is cool. Having a suit with heat, weapons with all these mods that let you modify planets, the ability to name everything and other players can find your named things but the chances are incredibly low, etc. are all cool ideas. Just hearing it sounds very cool.
Unfortunately it is almost guaranteed to get old after like 20 hours, and that might be generous. Because at the end of the day, the narrative here is that there really isn't one. You are exploring space because... why? What is the big conflict here? Is there something in the universe to find at the end? What about this is supposed to stimulate me for hours and hours aside from landing on a new planet, seeing a couple new creatures that continue to share the same 2-3 AI templates, or a new resource that lets me build X weapon mod for no real reason, etc? This is just for pure exploration. If you're into that, and you like pulp scifi, cool, this seems like the perfect game for you, and you might never need another game again. But for everyone else it doesn't seem to offer much. The way they designed it, I can't even play with any friends, not even one.

They are technically delivering on their promise with the bare minimum. Your post number is "unique" when compared to 105, but it's also "unique" compared to 345,226,583 (one off). They say something mundane in a way that people will misinterpret. Throw in some pretty art and bam, marketing 101.
>>345226765
Tbh I thought they did a good job at the planet generation bit. Of course in this pic some looks way more boring than others but there's enough variety to at least get me to go back in the game every few months if the gameplay isn't obnoxiously bad.

>Having billions of planets is meaningless! Procedurally generated planets will get repetitive after you've seen a certain number!
This is true.
>Therefore, the game will become boring very quickly!
This does not logically follow. It may be the case, but the rate that a PG-based game becomes boring is dependent on the scope, quantity, and meaningfulness of each of the variables. Even more important is how much time you spend on a planet. If you are averaging 20 minutes or less per planet, then it would be pretty optimistic to expect the planets to still be fresh after ten hours. Not impossible, but beyond what you should hope for if you don't want to be disappointed.
We don't know how the game works. We don't know how much variety is within a planet. We don't know if it is worth staying on a planet for over an hour, or less than five minutes.
For the record, people who are hyped for this game seem to be pretty reasonable in their expectations (at least on /v/). Only the shitposters are jumping to baseless conclusions.

And yeah, procedural generation isn't a new concept, but the team HAS made the wheel rounder, so to speak. For example, the creatures go through many attributes of height, width, and lengths for each part of their body, not to mention the scale /skin coloring to fit in the environment. I wish I had an infographic on me, but there was a long presentation that one of the artists from Hello Games gave at GDC, look it up.
Proper level/world design > Procedural generation
This is an undisputed FACT.
I just wish the game didn't have a mining/crafting system. I don't want Minecraft in Space.
>>345227268
Planets have only one biome and are mostly set on a single climate. So once you landed and did your things in the area you can know if it's a snowy planet, or a poisonous planet and can leave in search of the next one.I'm still waiting for the game because it'll probably turns out enjoyable
>>345227062
There is combat, survival and resource gathering. You have upgrades that you work toward.
>>345227546
You actually don't have to bother with them if you don't want to, just discovers a ton of new things and fight in space for money
>>345226810
Well it sounds cool. I think given the sheer size of the universe they made, it's going to be really slow paced, and the reveal of that lore will take a VERY long time for each player, so for me I think it will be a relatively boring experience. But hopefully they balance it the right way that lots of people enjoy it.
At the very least the soundtrack will probably be pure gold. The first song we got already is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTpBVMHKjc4
>>345227568
But if the planets are actually atmospheric and the loot/upgrade treadmill is paced and designed to keep it interesting when you find something then it could still be worth spending time even if the biome is the same. FO4 sucked, but I found exploring the glowing sea to be pretty damned fun, mostly because of the atmosphere and how alien it felt. I liked that I had to find a hazmat suit to go in, and how that effected the gameplay.
I spent at least an hour or two enjoying the exploration. If the other mechanics aren't a mess, I see no reason why that can't work out for 30+ hours. I'm not expecting that because I've been burned too many times. But it doesn't make sense to say it won't happen. We just don't know yet.
Maybe the "real size planets" thing isn't too far fetched after all?

If you spend 30 minutes per planet, including travel time to and from, trading, and gathering fuel, nevermind gathering resources for upgrades, you'd be playing for 50 hours before you see 100 planets.

I play the shit out of dwarf fort, that game is a rare exception, but on top of that it's so full of content and complexity and awesome interactions that procedural generation accounts for a small amount of the fun to be gleaned from it.

>>345230847
>I-it doesn't count
>>345230430
I'm tempering my hype with doubt, you are making baseless conjecture.
I totally disagree with what you say about PG as well. Somebody beat me to the Dwarf Fortress argument, but obviously nobody is expecting that kind of quality. I think some people just dislike or like PG as a matter of taste.
I'd also like to point out that 3d PG landscapes haven't yet been done with the degree of rigor that we've seen in screenshots and trailers. It isn't exactly the same as a PG dungeon, or an ASCII dorf world. I have no idea what the shelf life will be, but I don't think we should assume it is the same.
>>345231026
Thought I explained pretty well why it doesn't, but since I need to oversimplify:
No man's sky is 20% content, 80% procedural generation
Dwarf fort is 80% content, 20% procedural generation
If it still counts, I conceded my point, but I don't think we should lump dwarf fort in with any other game

>>345231297
Source on thoses numbers or you just pulled them out of your ass?
What people dont seem to understand is that the game is actually challenging as everything you use from your ships fuel to ammo to your suits hazard protection uses resources. So you wont be just landing on planets and leaving theres gonna be hazardous ones that youll have to figure out how to survive on. So even if the game does get boring after the 100th planet youll have already played it for atleast 60+ hours. The hyperdrive fuel requires rare materials to craft and at first you wont even have a hyper drive you have to build that before you can leave the solar system. Devs said itll take 4-5 hours to leave the first planet anyways so its not just a walk around and look at planet simulator. Its not easy to get to each planet in the first place. And thats not even factoring in how many times youll die from creatures on the planets or pirates or biohazards in space

Source: my eyes. Anyone can see that's the case.

The main task in the game is to get to the centre of the galaxy. This requires you to upgrade your ship, upgrade your suit to endure different environments, upgrade your guns to mine things easier (to craft new items), and also to protect you from predators and sentinels (robot guardians, a bit like the police in GTA)
Yeah the gameplay probably isn't going to be quite as in depth as other triple A games like Mass Effect or whatever, but it's still got some solid RPG elements. There's a whole backstory to the game's alien factions that you learn about by reading their ancient runes and decoding their language. If you learn their language then you can increase your standing with that race, and they'll give you better deals when you trade with them. Or you can shoot their ships and steal their cargo, but that will decrease your standing with them.

>>345231297
You have the numbers reversed. Procedural generation effects all aspects of DF much more profoundly than it appears to in NMS.
PG is best understood as a method of arranging content. Very little content is created by PG. No Man's Sky appears to have handmade content with a wide variety of "sliders" which, when adjusted procedurally, makes significant changes to the appearance of the object. They then use procedural generation to distribute the content along a planet, and to mold the landscape of the planet itself. Aside from the distribution and physical appearance of content, NMS seems to not use a hell of a lot of PG. It is too early to say how accurate that appearance is, but I think it is safe to say that in both gameplay and content distribution DF is much more heavily reliant on PG.
>>345232174
That is very rude and uncalled for.
HYPE
>>345232257
What I mean to say here is that it appears that the resources you mine and upgrades you create or buy in NMS will be relatively set in their rarity, price, and usefulness. Whereas in adventure mode of DF, if you want to buy a breastplate it will be dependent on the technology level of the civilization you are in, the rarity of the material in that particular area, the prosperity and trade relations of the civilization you are in, etc, etc.
The challenges that arise in DF and make up the activities we call gameplay are based on PG. Meanwhile it *appears* (there is that word again) that the challenges and goals that arise in NMS were designed by the developers and would be largely the same from playthrough to playthrough. You might have worse luck finding a certain resource, but you'll never shit out of luck in getting an steel breastplate because you are surrounded by bronze age fucks.
>>345223557
Yeah, like Borderland's guns? They were all so different.
>>345233024
Alright, you make a lot of sense. So even if df has more content, it relies on pg more to do things with that content.
So if nms is how you say, it should pretty awesome.

They also said that the only way to know what a player character looks like is to meet someone else.
You can also apparently see your friends on the galactic map, every player is converging toward the same point, and rich planets shared by the player that discovered it can be seen by everyone, therefore if it has a valuable resouce on it people would probably want to drop by to take a few, and there's common points in every solar system like space stations.
So that's severals factors you have to take into account, but it'll probably still be rare to find another player.
>>345233761
While it does feature multiplayer, it does not affect gameplay at all. The offline experience will be almost exactly the same as the online experience
Friends will show on the galactic map
You will be able to see other players
Only a few people can be seen at one time. If lots of people converge on an area, then you will only see a few of them
Friends do not take priority in regards to who can be seen
There will be PvP

Sounds like a perfect multiplayer experience.
>>345234202
They never marketed it as one. What exactly is the issue here?
>>345231946
It's the video games board of an anime website you dumb nigger. Complaining about anime on /v/ is like going to the politics subforum of a sports website and complaining that people have sports-related signatures and avatars.

Interesting, it certainly looks bigger ingame but I'll trust the math.
At least it's bigger than Spore "lay donw and sniff your toes" rocks.

Honestly, I am trying not to buy too much into the No Man's Sky hype. It looks neat, but it is from a small developer that does not have a lot of games under their belt and reminds me a bit too much like how Spore was hyped back in the day.
I'd recommend most people wait until it launches and has a few days worth of people playing to see if you should pick up. I get the feeling it will be one of those games that is good for like 2-3 hours, then gets boring fast.

Try again
What's the appeal of this game, anyway? What do you do besides fly around and look at empty planets?
We all know the planets are going to be mostly similar. There's no way to make each planet unique with the sheer amount of planets there are. I can't imagine playing this game for more than a few hours.
Genuinely curious, what are people looking forward to in this game?
>>345238681
5 different shades of the same planet have been added to you no man's sky locations
>>345234704
It was never marketed as a multiplayer game retard.
>>345238865
You might've got the wrong post.
>>345239019
>>345238681
That planet is identical to every other planet they've showcased in every gameplay trailer.
Where's the planets of pure carbon with towering diamond structures? Planets with run away greenhouse effects? Volcano torn landscapes? All they have are planets with earth-like vegetation, animals, etc.
It's all the same, there's no variety in types of planets, and it seems so boring.
>>345238954
You might've got the wrong post.
>>345239019
where is the option to shoot it and take its stuff?
>>345239502
Just do it. It's not a dialogue option.
>>345239502
That probably doesn't involve starting a conversation
>>345239502
It's not an option in text you would just shoot it and take his stuff
>>345239502
In that very gameplay video they show you attacking that dude. You can piss off alien factions and war with them.
Looks like shit.
Why can't someone just take space engine and put in spaceships and game mechanics like mining with some incentive to mine like making money to buy better equipment and ships in some player driven trade market. It would be perfect.
>>345239353
Planets are "planet sized"
The distance between planets in a solar system will be much smaller then in real life, to replicate traditional sci-fi depictions of alien planets
Planets might have Earth-like features, such as canyons or mountain ranges
Whether a planet has water or not is determined by factors such as how close the planet is to its sun
Atmosphere color depends on what elements are in the atmosphere
Some planets will be toxic or radioactive, and require suit upgrades in order to be visited
Each planet has one prevalent biome/weather type. This encourages exploration
Some planets will have rings around them
It is entirely possible for a planet to be entirely covered in water or sand
Planets will get weirder and more dangerous as you get closer to the center

maybe i want to insult it first
>>345239634

They did? If we're talking about the same video, I only recall you breaking the door to a nearby factory and stealing whatever was in there.

>>345239828
>Why can't someone just take space engine
You missed the important part. No Man's Sky is complete garbage in terms of showcasing space. Combine space engine with no man's sky gameplay.
>>345240017
>No Man's Sky is complete garbage in terms of showcasing space
What does this even mean?
gonna be shit famalam
>>345240121
Graphics and art style is too simplistic.
>>345240276
aka "it's not brown rocks"
>>345240121
Planet variety consists of earth sized planets with biomes, there's no black hole physics, no binary systems, it just doesn't represent the possibilities that exist out there in space like Space Engine does.
>>345240276
Really? I think the art style looks great, it's supposed to be a throw back to early science fiction.
The game just needs multiplayer to be great. I want to start a space pirate gang
so what the fuck do you do in this game?
>>345240421
It's not supposed to though. The game is influenced by science fiction. It was never meant to be realistic representation like space engine.
>>345240439
It's clearly made to accommodate consoles at 60fps.
>>345240465
You can do that in Elite or something if you really want.
>>345240512
Explore the same dull, empty procedurally generated planets for six hours, then uninstall and feel bad about spending sixty bucks on it.
>>345240528
Ok, fair enough then, if that's what they're going for then I guess it just doesn't interest me. Without that variety I'd probably just find the game fun for a few hours before everything just looks the same.
>>345240512
fuck around on planets
>>345222517
I wonder how long the draw distance would be.
>>345223235
Its a shitposting thread making fun of the idiots that overhype the game, but me personally I am excited for the game, but not overhyped for it. I am looking forward to the game. I am looking forward to exploring the worlds, meeting the types of animals, farming resources, destroying mountains or carving them into shapes, and seeing what happens if I get involved with the space battles they showed before. Don't really care about the lack of multiplayer.
>>345240512
Explore the same planet 18 billion billion times to get resources to make a better ship to explore the same planet 18 billion billion times a little quicker
>>345240816
Not very far on ps4 if the videos they've released so far are any indication. Hopefully the PC version will let you change that, if it has nothing to do with the procedural shit they have.

Out of curiosity, if you don't know shit about a game, why are you complaining about it?
I can't help but feel like there are only 1-2 people actually defending the game here.
Every argument is shut down by them calling people retarded randomly, or are just continually asking for a source over the most minuscule things
>>345222517
Is it comparable to the crazy procedural generation we saw in the Spore video with creature models and actions or do you think it'll be much less?
>>345241903
>Every argument is shut down by them calling people retarded randomly
Welcome to 4chan
>>345241903
There's literally retards coming in every threads to ask the same questions though, so what's wrong with reminding them they're retarded?
>>345241665
Then why don't they show these things? Why do they showcase the same planet in every trailer? This would honestly get me more interested
>>345242230
>Then why don't they show these things?
They have no idea how to market this shit. The spokesman for the game is one of the developers and he's terrible at public speaking, which is a shame since the game engine they've made is somewhat interesting.
On the other side of the coin you've got Bethesda. Bethesda makes turds, but they know exactly how to present them. Say what you want about Todd, the man is a rusemaster but he knows exactly what he's doing.
I can't get hyped about this game due to how much backtracking the devs are doing on everything
Not only are they rejecting to really say or show much content in the game but they flatout are removing features
>So is there multiplayer in the game?
>Yes there is, you'll be able to play with friends
Later
>So is there multiplayer in the game?
>Well yes, but the world is so big that you're probably not going to be able to find anyone.
