Why is /v/ so hyped for No Man's cash grab?
>>
Because /v/ is full of neoFAG posters that are desperate for something to overhype about, since they'd been disappointing themselves so much from previous overhyped garbage.

Because a bunch of underage faggots have infested the board and they're too young to remember Spore.

There have been very few instances where procedural generation works well, and nothing is going to convince me that a AAA game/developer in the current state of the industry is going to use it to its fullest potential. This is the age of wanting to do as little work as possible to go home with as much money as possible, and the keywords PROCEDURAL GENERATION have that written all over it.

We will never hear of this scrawny fuck again after the game comes out, because he's fully aware of how the aftermath is going to unfold. He'll already be on his way to the bank while getting praised for the PROCEDURAL GENERATION that makes his game so big fucking empty

Procedural generation really pisses me off, it's so lazy. The developer has taken no time to sculpt a world/universe of his own, he's letting procedural generation do all his work for him. So upsetting that it gets disregarded just because of how BIG the game supposedly is, when such a mechanic doesn't make it big at all

Procedural generation simply means using math to make things, not that it is random. KSP has procedurally generated planet surfaces (the point data would be insanely huge otherwise), but they are the same every time.

>>345467091

you clearly have no concept of what goes into creating a good procedural generation system. they still designed ships, tools, galactic police, spacesuits and space stations which are not procedurally generated. you still have to establish parameters for everything, make sure they work, make sure they make sense and can reliably create algorithms that will work while still maintaining a sense of variety. these planets have characteristics including temperature and time of day night cycles that reflect their actual distance from their star and size of orbit. it would actually be impossible to make a game with this scale and content without procedural generation.

so yes while procedural generation makes the worlds, the work was in designing that system and huge amount of factors to work. call it what you want but it's not lazy.

But according to you you didn't even know it has gameplay 15 minutes ago.

I find it hard to believe you came into this thread unaware of that fact, then in 15 minutes decided that the gameplay wasn't compelling or that the lore was unengaging, did you make up your mind about the game before coming to this thread?

Here's a fun fact for all of you: If you've already grown bored of these threads that we see all the time on No Man's Sky, then you will find that you will get bored of the game just as fast. It's got about that much variety per thread (planet) and you will very quickly realize that you're seeing the same shit over and over again.

This game is like browsing /v/, only there are 100% less memes and 100% more grass/trees/animals.

Personally I would take the memes. This game is going to suck.

This is just Spore 2.0, devs promised a lot of shit and make it look like theres a lot to do, but in after playing it for 2 hours maybe or after getting out of your starter planet you will realize everything its the same with a different filter, I remember having fun during the cell stage, then moved into the pre-tribe and had a little less fun but still was interesting, after the city stage (which was a fucking chore) and the whole space stage was a fucking chore that I finished because I wanted to know how it ended, how unsurprising it was when there was no end and I just wasted half a day.

People getting angry about this game is hilarious. Why are most of you so mad that this game is coming out, to the point you feel the need to post about it. You're spouting your opinions when it doesn't matter. What's the endgame? I'm sure most of you who are bashing a game you never played, making assumptions on the variety of planets, play Pokemon Go. I'm sure in arguments on how that game isn't even a game, you get all defensive.

You CAN say that the game itself is shallow, because it is, there's hardly anything to do. But the devs aren't lying to you and tricking you into thinking it's GTA meets Elder Scrolls meets EVE meets Minecraft or something.

It's their fault for marketing as a game with infinite possibilities and a "LIFETIME OF CONTENT"
>>
>>345474157
Except people know the game is shit with its bloated bajillion planets as its selling point so the contrarian thing is to praise it. Plus ironic shilling is still the fad.

Why try so hard to manufacture hype on such a bland game then?
With 3 threads on the topic a day they're trying to create the impression "this is THE game man" when we all know it fucking isn't. Then they get pissy and hostile when anons pick the hype machine apart with questions, inane or not.

>>345473613

because everything from the art style to the lore is aping on old school science fiction novels. the type with a cover that would capture your imagination and be the only pic you get. it's aimed at older sci fi fans, not typical cowadooty casuals.

>>345475676

a team of thirteen have made a 3d proc gen game styled on golden era sci fi with voxel planets, online functionality and rpg elements and 4chan are calling it a cynical cash grab

kill me now
>>
>>345475738

no one apart from false flaggers would try to do that.
>>
>>345475676

you neglected the part where sony picked up the game for a huge chunk of profit to shill it with their massive PR department

this game would have bombed hard if it was PC only, need that console market to fall for these levels of bullshit
>>
>>345461647
Someone told me all the features it has and it reminds me a lot of Starflight, which is an awesome game.
I'm a little worried it could not live up t my expectations, but that's just the /v/ shit flinging getting to me, I'm sure it will be good, if not great.

Reminder that spaceengine already did this much better and it was made by a single developer and released for free

The funny thing is that I'm certain even the space engine dev would call you out on your bullshit.

Well
It's going to sell like hotcakes AND it's basically all singleplayer, so at least I'll have no issues pirating it :^)
>>
>>345475650
but they're not similar in any way and that comparison is dogshit.

Zelda has a backstory, a path you have to take, certain items you have to get, has an ending, you don't need to do any storytelling yourself. NMS is literally just flying around, there's no story, no end point, no real reason to do anything, and if there's going to be a story you have to make it up yourself (?)
>>
>>345475650
But we already know it doesn't.

No Man's Sky is merely a social experiment in discovering just what bullshit gamers are likely to believe. This data will be used by Hello Games to turn them into marketing consultants who will be employed by big devs and pubs all over. Devs are wondering just how easily-brainwashed gamers can become, to the levels where they may take on a level of religious fanaticism of sorts.

Think about it: No Man's Sky purportedly has eighteen quintillion planets to explore. It is marketed that it would take one person 585 billion years to explore every invididual planet for just one second each. As if you're going to know in that miniscule space of time whether the planets are alike or unalike, right? So then who actually fucking cares whether the planets are alike or unalike. It is LITERALLY unprovable with current technology and current human lifespans. So then why make a song and dance about it? Because gamers are proving that they will eat up turds just because the turd has been marketed in a way that makes it appealing.

Also, the game is always-online, so it knows which planets you've visited and which you haven't. There is such a low mathematical probability that players will explore the same planets, and the system can procedurally generate vastly different planets based on an algorithm that looks at the stats of already-visited planets. That algorithm can simply randomize the planetary stats to extremes and gradually make them more subtle as the player explores more planets. And it will fucking have to because planetary stats are limited to a finite number of sliders.

It's all bullshit that cannot be proved, so discussing the game is a moot point because nobody can prove either way just how deep this game is. But DEFENDING the game for its depth is a special kind of retarded, because these people defend the game on faith, rather than evidence.

>rpg elements
Such as? A bare-bones crafting system and leveling up your ship fives times down a single path aren't RPG elements. And if they are, they're very, very poor examples.

This game will likely fail, which is fine. But when it comes out, devs should consider using the engine for this game to make other games look good and seamless. If anything, this will be a good tech demo.

Daily reminder that those 18 quintilion planets are made up of 64 different variables that can be either on or off.

This will replace Spore as the biggest disappointment

If this game was multiplayer and players could build their own empire and send armadas to invade other players' planets then I'd be fucking sold

The fact that it's single player kills it for me
