>look at how big this is
>who cares if gameplay sucks look at that big number

>>687609911

Okay, the game is big? Who cares. Games like these get my 12-year old brother horny but nobody else I know is even remotely excited.

Even if it's like they portray it to be, with unique planets and monsters (which won't happen) it will suck. People will go around naming planets/things for a few weeks then they will get tired because they realize there's really no fucking point (no ranking system or place to showcase your shit at). Also, everybody will just name their things "dickysopious" and "Vagniasaurus" etc etc.

It won't even be unique from planet to planet, the planets will just look slightly different (one has blue sky, one has red sky), which fucking sucks and gets boring super fast.

I can't believe that you're over 13 years old if you're excited over this game, maybe you have some mental disorder or downs syndrome that makes it hard for you to perceive things and understand. The sole fact that you think "18 000 000 000 000 planets unique WOW" makes me embarassed for you.

Also, your speculation sucks dick. The game is not grand, it's shit and it will suck unless you're 8-12 years old or mentally disabled.

>>687610661
the gameplay was rated 18 quintillion too ya know.

>>687610678
It will be better than Mirrors Edge Catalyst you mtn dew drinking swill.

How long will it take before someone names a planet "this game sucks"

>>687610449
Oh, I know. I play it non stop for the first month, then occasionally here and there. I'm probably going to pick it up again soon, seeing as the new DLC is finally out.
That game is beautiful. The random shit you run into is great. Even little things, like coming upon a camp while strolling along the countryside, having a few drinks with strangers, passing out, and then getting your shit stolen and going to track them down, leaving them naked like they left you. That's brilliant. Bethesda needs to take notes, for sure.

>>687609911
honestly man I'm not hyped at all. it looks like some fuckin mine craft-esque shit and I never got into that.

Games of this kind of scale just seem pointless. Its cool if they could pull it off, but who's really going to devote the time to exploring more than a fraction of a percent of what's out there?

If someone made a game that even had the entire U.S. in it, that would still be an insanely large place to explore.

>>687611977
you might want to go read some modern astrophysics then.

>>687612105
even if everyone who bought it spent 24 hours for a whole year they would not see 1% of the game. Thats not what its about.

Elite dangerous is also on this scale, but some say it's mostly empty, they're just getting around to adding planet surface stuff but their expansion payment scheme puts a lot of people like me off to trying it.

the game is simply procedural, the devolper just spit out a number when he said 1800000000000000000 stars, whenever you go to a new system the game will just generate a new world, but you will have a minute chance to "join" someone elses world.

there is nothing "amazing" about this game from what i can tell, hell it doesnt even have real orbital mechanics.

you go around and catalogue stuff and discover things likes new species and worlds

its a cool concept but its not a fun one, there are people who get paid to do this in real life becuase its boring and menial

it would have been awesome if it was a small little indie game that cost like10 bucks and had 1 solar system that was just chock full of shit to do

yeah I'm sure the surface of each planet looks the same on one hemisphere as it does on the other.

It seems pretty grand but then so did spore. But that was a terrible game. All you could do was travel to different worlds, observe the species living there, travel from planet to planet and the goal was to get to the centre of the galaxy. Wait, what was no man's sky about again?

>>687615621
not bullshit you are just ignorant and cynical =] ill even give you an example. You learn these alien languages by discovering something like a Rosetta stone and each stone will unlock key words to better speak with the race. Thus helping you trade more efficiently, and survive.

Also, I will admit, I got sucked in on the spore hype but like most people said, the novelty wears off fast and then you're playing a boring game alone. Massive size only means that many more potential players will be daunted by the fact they will never complete the game, and probably never see anyone else.

>>687615942
really though all you have to say to kids now is "The world will be massive and not actually designed by hand for the most part, also aliens, also factions, also choices that you can make, the kiddies love that, oh the hardcore kiddies like survival mechanics and crafting too, so we'll just lump that shit in there as well."

The centre of the universe is just supermassive black holes, anything near them would be dragged in and be lost forever.

If they made it with just one world. Properly scaled I mean, this could be a really fucking cool idea. It would be possible to explore everything, meet others, make territories. Then the faction and crafting or whatever else they are using for bait would be appealing to more than 12 year olds. They way I have seen the game advertised, and maybe that was their folly, they might as well have said "count to gogol, the game!" because that kinda what this feels like.

don't get too hyped up..

It doesn't matter how many randomly generated planets it has. It only has so many assets, it is developed by a small indie team and it will be a small indie game. Nothing too epic, neat idea, but after a few weeks of playing you will notice the same re-occurring patterns in planets and you will have seen it all. Game is also overpriced, it should be 40 bucks at most. It doesn't even have multiplayer.

Thats why you wanna sit here and argue with some random for over and hour keeping his video on the top page while he gains over 1k views and 50 subs. ty ty.

The game is procedurally generated, its not that impressive. It may have a potential 15 bazillion planets but Minecraft a potential 15 bazillion hills (at least on PC).

No Mans Sky will be a very dull game with little to do, I can see it now. The only saving grace is the mods that will be on the PC version, many of which will likely add something for the player to do.

There is no center. It is not expanding from one point in all directions, it is expanding from all points in all directions.

Imagine an inflating balloon. What point on the surface of the balloon is the center? None of them; all points are moving away from all other points.

This is an imperfect analogy, both because it requires reducing the universe to two dimensions (the two-dimensional surface of the balloon material), and because a balloon is a three-dimensional object (the two-dimensional surface is curved to create an object with three dimensions).

We are able to observe three dimensions, and so, to adapt the balloon analogy, would have to envision a fourth dimension beyond the three which the universe curves into. Indeed, astrophysicists have looked for evidence of this hyper-dimensional curving, which would be measurable as a convergence or separation of parallel lines over great distances. However, as far as we are able to measure, the universe has no curve to it; parallel lines have not yet been observed to converge nor separate without known causes.

>>687617631
The planets in no man's sky are also not just simply retextured. Vegetation, animals and structures are just as procedurally generated as the planets.

>>687619493

I hope you realize that. The universe has no center of expansion, but it has a center.

Procedural generation is the single best tool for creating staggering numbers of "okay" design things. But using procedural generation to make things with character is orders of magnitude more difficult.

I'm hopeful the developers are up to the task, but mostly expect the game ecosystems, while tremendously varied, to be largely without character.

I expect that after just four or five planets, it starts feeling like none of the creatures you encounter seem to be "of" the planet they're on, but merely "on" the planet they're on. If you could take a creature from one planet and picture it on another planet, and feel no sense of implausibility, then that's evidence of what I'm talking about. Each animal should feel like it so perfectly belongs to a given planet that it should not seem to fit on any other planet that is not quite, quite similar. But this requires that there be a staggering level of complexity and uniqueness to planets. EVERY ecosystem should feel different.

Again, procedural generation is absolutely capable of this, but it takes developers that demand a LOT of themselves. And because a shallow implementation of the idea will be enough to sell a lot of games, I don't expect them to do a painstakingly deep implementation.

>>687620093
Seriously, when was this game announced? There have been likely all kinds of discussions on this game every day since it was first mentioned. And you think you're hot shit because you got b to talk about it a few times. Guess what, you can do that with literally everything. That's not remotely original, and you copy it meaning it isn't even you. We're taking about a game. And while I'm talking about it, I could probably post some mundane shit too and have it take off (ever see an "everyone get in here" thread). The thread was fine. You thinking you are the fucking 4chan puppet master makes you the idiot who is trolled. And by your own deluded belief no less lol

That which is claimed without proof can be dismissed without proof.

Claim that we're wrong dismissed.

>>687619730
That depends on the number of vertexes you define as not procedurally generated. If I have two points with distance x from another, then the computer will fill up the space between them with a line. How many points (in memory) does it take for you to see it as an actual line? Atom-level? A planck length?

>EVERY ecosystem should feel different
It's quite save to assume that many living things can survive in an environment where there are also living things, since, for all we know, life is always C based. What I'm trying to say is that, on a larger scale, all possible life shares the essential characteristics. If we found life in the universe somewhere, it would quite certainly be similar to life on this planet. You're applying unreachable standards to the game, since those standards wouldn't even apply to the real world.

wise man here

I'm not paying $60 for a procedurally generated sandbox explorer with no singleplayer campaign and no multiplayer.

If it was priced like Minecraft or Kerbal Space Program I'd consider it. But not at that price point.

>>687616658

minecraft is small for babies so they ask for little bucks.

Oh, fair enough

Haha, I can see what kinda joke you were trying to make
Too bad I didnt get it because I'm a shut-in

I'm more of an Audio dude.
I open all the windows, put down the blinds and close it up, so dark yet ventilated (removes the echo of a closed room)

Basically I put on Night Lovell, XXXTENTACION, Lund, Spooky Black or Yung Lean

And I sit there
And feel sad
Like usual
I try to cry
But I can't

I'm too afraid to cry anon, I want to be a kid again
Where I was able to cry, and let feelings out.

Now all I do is push myself too hard at the gym, get melancholic depressive moods and punch walls.

>>687622284
Damn bud. The first deal is accepting your problem and it looks like you've done that. But from person to person where ever you are. You're gonna be okay.

It's just a first person Spore space stage rip-off, and no, it won't have that many planets, just a bunch of ones with the same exact type of plants/wildlife/enemies. all that will be different will be the names of the planets.

They already said you have to run-in's with one main enemy...

How well would an Everglades alligator fare in the Sahara Desert?

Remember: they're both carbon based!

Differences in the ecosystems of our own planet already severely limit the kind of life able to exist in them. Just as there are deserts and savannahs and jungles, there are desert animals and savannah animals and jungle animals. Each one doesn't belong in any other ecosystem, not without adapting to it.

The thing is, each geographic area is a unique ecosystem. We group them together because similarities exist across them which lends them to grouping, but every desert is different, every jungle is different. Creatures from one jungle don't even belong in another *jungle* without adapting to it.

Even worse, ecosystems are not static; they change throughout the year. Animals often have traits which are due to conditions that only exist in their environment a small part of the time. So a desert in the summer is different than that same desert in the winter, and the composition of animal life found is constantly changing.

Life everywhere is different from life anywhere else, but it is different in specific, concrete ways, for specific concrete reasons. I fear that the game will not do the necessary work to make this distinction, as it can be approximated by simply making sure life is different in every location.

I'm thrilled at all I've seen, but the very thing that fascinates me most about animals, which is the way that they adapt to fit very, very, very specific ecological niches, is not something I expect to encounter in this game, and I think that will be a disappointment.

>>687611666
No, but you're wasting your time arguing with people about it...
I think it's worse.

>>687622723
what are you a gay scientist?

>>687622723
>deserts and savannahs and jungles
The differences are marginal, man. All life in there already shares the essential characteristics, you have to accept that. You'll see that virtually all the animals in one ecosystem have a brain, four limbs, teeth, digestive systems based on acids, have a heart, a lung, need O2, etc. Then you get insects which are functioning very similarly, just "less advanced" if you want to call it like that. How different would you expect life to be? I find all that to be REALLY similar, just adapted to a different environment. Or take plants, virtually all utilize photosynthesis, draw their "food" out of the ground (or water) and so on. There is no life on this planet that is really different from one-another, the differences, on a larger scale, are marginal. It's just a FACT that all possible life is essentially the same.

You seem to imply that if a bush could be returned to seed and planted again, it would grow into exactly the same bush.

But I don't accept or agree with that. Earth animal life shares traits throughout, because it is all related. Most animals look the way they do not only because it is a good design for their ecological role, but because the creature available to evolve to fit that ecological role already had certain traits.

Giraffes have four legs and a long neck, and they fit their ecological role well. But does this mean we can assume a creature must have four legs to fit that role well? Perhaps there were simply no three-legged species available to evolve into the giraffe's role.

So your standards lowered throughout this discussion? If a giraffe and an alligator are different enough in your opinion, then the differences in the races in no man's sky will also suffice.

earth has been around 4.5 billion years. its only been the past 200,000 years humans really settled on a singular design, and its only been a fraction of that we did anything smart. the odds of us coming across a planet and it actually being that tiny tiny blink of time that HUMANS existed is about...oh...0.004 percent. and thats assuming these billions of incredibly vital and unlikely scenarios happen. you change the sun to taking two days to revolve and your gonna see some seriously different shit

Last time a game thought it had something great was spore. And good god that was garbage, but even I'll admit the early footage and concept for spore made it look good. Same situation here.

>>687623818

I don't think I was clear enough. My point is that we should not assume that all animal life will share the same traits merely because much of animal life on Earth shares the same traits.

I can look around at my family and notice that we all have dark hair, and conclude that it's reasonable to think that all people will have dark hair. But the people in my family all have dark hair because we're all related. People not related to my family might have totally different hair.

Likewise, we should not assume life on other planets will look like life here just because life here is very successful at what it does.

You completely miss the point, especially with that human stuff.

>>687624223
There are not many different ways life can exist, there's very few. Not because of what we observe on earth, but because of what chemistry and physics tell us.
>I can look around at my family and notice that we all have dark hair, and conclude that it's reasonable to think that all people will have dark hair.
That's not the way we (yes, not me, but science) derived that there can only be so much variation. As I said, chemistry and physics set quite small limits to life.

>>687624450
you got me there with that stunner of a argument. no, i got you, i even agreed with you. its most likely that if life exists, its like us.

AT SOME STAGE. of which we have a .0004 or whatever chance of ACTUALLY coming across. IF earth 2 is EXACTLY like earth 1

>>687624450
wiiiiiise

>>687624645
Yes, given that for some odd reason life on another planet evolved the exact same way it did on this planet, the chance is really small to find "copies" of our specieses running around there, given the distribution is random, but that is a completely unrelated topic, that's why I said you completely missed the point. Because you did.

>>687624450

I am forced to agree that it is safe to assume that most any life we encounter will use chemical processes to function, and chemistry works the same everywhere, and so while specific implementations of things cannot be known, general concepts can be.

But I disagree about there being little room for variation; I believe there is room for a tremendous amount variation while staying within the known limitations of chemistry.

The sea sponge and the peregrine falcon are related.

i think there needs to be a game called rapefist.

>>687625066
>I believe there is room for a tremendous amount variation while staying within the known limitations of chemistry
Well, there is, given that by variation you mean things like hair color, skin color, even how cells are distributed for that matter. But you'll not find much variation in the processes that are utilized and also surprisingly few variations in general morphology, that's the point. If you change the environment, you'll see adaptions, if you change it too much, everything dies. Literally everything, there just are outside influences that make life literally impossible, that means there is a spectrum on which life is able to exist, and we know for a fact that this spectrum is quite limited. Face it, what's going on at the bottom of the deepest sea is generally the same thing that's going on in the jungle and that is true for the entire universe, as far as we know. You already said it, chemistry works the same everywhere and life can't escape this fundamental reality.

THIS WILL BE AMAZING!

>>687624412
Yeah they marketed their product good, impressively good. The early alpha footage was a great proof of concept that the final product didn't deliver on. but in no way shape or form was that a good game.

>>687625513
Actually look up the chemistry on Titan, its so cold that it changes everything we know about chemistry. some things that are considered liquid here are hard as diamonds there. It changes so much they speculate life could live within this new scale
