- Reading: NO MAN'S SKY
So general consensus is:
>Minecraft without building
>spore without war elements
>only 10 diffirent layouts randomized 98 billion times
>60 dollar indie game
Is there anything nice you guys can say about it?
Honestly it looks pretty dope. It might not live up to the hype, but I can see myself putting a couple weeks into this game minimum.
I'm not a child or a NEET, so I'm going to buy it on GOG if it's optimized. Look forward to hundreds of hours exploring while listening to podcasts and audiobooks. Finally a space game that doesn't look fucking ugly.
>>334854318
It would take 10 years to discover every planet if everyone on earth discovered 500 planets per minute
But it would take me 10 mins to realize there is nothing interesting to do in the game No Man's Sky.

>But it would take me 10 mins to realize there is nothing interesting to do in the game No Man's Sky.
If you can't enjoy yourself in a vastly infinite game with infinite possibilities like this then gaming is not for you
>>334854665
The desert seems vastly infinite but I'm more than fucking sure you would be willing to be somewhere else and do something else after a short period of time.
As large as a ocean. As deep as a puddle.
>>334854318
that is fucking insane, how do you even put a price tag on a game like this that literally has infinite gameplay and gametime?
>>334854665
How does it have infitinite possibilities though? What a false statement from a faggy shill
>>334854971
i know rightr, insane that it's only 60 bucks which is a few fucking happy meals
>>334854971
>infinite game play
>infinite game time
>4 hours in hey look it's that duck with a fun on its head but this time it's green! Oh and there's that plant with the eyeballs but they're in different places!
>>334855009
uhh there are literally billions of planets?
>>334854665
>infinite possibilities
I haven't seen this level of delusion in a long fucking time.
This is the same level of autism that BioInfinite fans spout.
>>334855168
Infinite mean immeasurable and ever expanding.
They got the number down so it sure as fuck ain't infinite.
this feels like Spore 2.0 aka improbved in every way
>>334855345
More like Spore Round 2.
Meaning more of the same. Looks awesome in concept but they fuck it up royally.
A fucking walking simulator.
Not vidya.
>>334855168
>literally billions of the same planets
sure
>>334855168
>billions of planets where all the same shit happens
WHOAH DUDE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES.
Or do you actually think they made them all unique in their own way?
>>334855557
>Or do you actually think they made them all unique in their own way?
not him but i don't see why they couldn't?
>>334854318
>No ship customization
Why does anyone care about this again?
>>334855659
can you even customize your character?
Seems cool that you can play how you want, like you can fly around space and never set foot on a planet.
But at the same what we have seen lacks any depth at all so just amounts to boring ass flying through space or walking across planets.
>>334854665
>>334854971
>>334855168
go shill your stupid game somewhere else
>>334855607
Cause they didn't bother? Random color swap isn't new and unique.
>>334855659
>>334855720
>wanting customization
fuck off to skyrim
>>334855659
Ok. We all know these threads are being made by the one guy who will post "blunder of the century" threads after the game is released.
Trying his damnedest to make it seem like there are people who don't know it will be shallow so he can proclaim another SWTOR.
>>334855720
No multiplayer and no third person view so there is absolutely no reason to see your character. Your just a floating camera.
>>334855948
/v/ actually is anticipating this one and has been for years now since its announcement
>>334856127
There was quite a shift in attitude last year though
>>334855607
Are you fucking retarded? Do you think they went through and made every planet unique? There's "billions" because it's procedurally generated. New planets won't necessarily mean new things to do just different colored environments
>>334856036
>Your just a floating camera.
That's like saying you're just a brain
This isn't at all impressive.
If you have a pool of 20 planetary traits, and have each planet composed of 10 traits selected at random, you would end up with more than 150 000 "unique" planets.
Doesn't sound so impressive now, does it?
The game might end up being great, but this whole MUH INFINITE PLANETS shit is a dumb marketing gimmick.
>>334856221
When it was $60 confirmed project
>>334856227
who cares? they're still all unique from each other
>>334854318
One person discovering 500 planets per minute for 10 straight years is 2.6 billion planets.
6 billion people doing that means you have over 15 quintillion planets.
15,000,000,000,000,000,000
I call some serious bullshit, even with procedural generation.
>third shill thread today
>second one hasn't even hit bump limit yet
>>334856351
No they aren't, there's a set of planets that are repeated with some different tree placements here and there
>>334855849
Then what the fuck are you gonna do? Shit is be dependent on the progression system, and this is the best way to sparse the content and interest of the player in the game that will become dull in 30 minutes (assuming it would take 20 minutes for you to build a hyper drive and 10 minutes to visit a couple of planets that will show you 90% of the game's content). We are not talking about free title, this is $60 (SIXTY, SIX TENS) dollar release.
>>334856375
>thinks Sony doesn't know what they're marketing
>98,000,000,000 different angles this rock might be situated
sign me up
>>334856227
It might have been misquoted, but I read somewhere that if you leave a planet and come back to it later it just gets procedurally generated again. So it's not even saved as the same planet.
>>334856127
/v/ anticipated this game back when it was revealed. for like 4 months. then we learned as well as every-fucking-body else. that what they showed us is the entirety of the game.
So nobody is hyped anymore. Not for at least a year.
This will not be a blunder. It will go by almost unnoticed.
Threads about it for the week before and the week of release and then it will fall off the face of the earth. Just like every other release that isn't a Souls game.
>>334855659
Because there is ship customization? Not cosmetic, but upgrading ships mechanics for different things using resources is confirmed.
In terms of cosmetics, the ships are procedural as well, so there will be plenty of choices. Only small personal ships though, which is disappointing. Here is some of the variation in the fighter class (there's also explorer, scientist etc, with different general shapes/layout).
>>334856375
its all seeds, not finished generated planets
>>334854318
It'll make a nice coaster for my Star Citizen premium edition
>>334855168
but once you are on a planet what can you actually DO?
This is just random planet generator viewer: the game
>>334854665
>infinite possibilities
Lucky for you I don't want that many. List 100 possibilities nigger.
>>334856248
If you never see your character and nobody else will either than you might as well be.
>>334856375
The max number is 18 quintillion, the game uses 64 bit seed
>>334856471
and? why the fuck should a planet be saved, if you visit the moon and leave and come back 2 years later it won't be the same anymore it will have changed and the devs nailed this
>>334856591
Shoot some animals and make the robot police mad, collect rocks to make a better gun to shoot animals, repeat.
It'll be good
You can see in pretty much every thread that the majority of people "against" it are shitposters.
>>334856543
undertale was discussed for a year straight daily until bump limits were hit on /v/
>>334856658
Also the current number of people on earth is above 7 billion for 3 years, are you from 2005?
>>334856591
it's about the journey not the destination you imagination less retard
>>334856662
>if you visit the moon and leave and come back 2 years later it won't be the same anymore
Umm, anon...
Well see. Since I played Minecraft I wish there was a game like it but based around exploration instead of surviving and creativity.
But what they're marketing doesn't seem like anything I care about. I want to know what the lands are like, if there's caves, good ambience, secrets, collectibles, etc. Many planets and animals doesn't sell me and the gameplay I've seen doesn't seem so great.
>>334856751
Undertale was discussed for years prior to it's release and faggots still talk about it not after it's release/
You get one noticeable No Man's Sky thread a week since last year.
>>334856642
>If you never see your character and nobody else will either
what th efuck they were joking when they said it would take years for a player to find another player, they didn't mean that
My onky gripe is that they havnt shown how deep animal interaction or society is.
I would be upset if there are no predatory hierarchy, nests/homes, babies, social interaction or depth to the AI
Somehow i can imagine its not there
>>334856662
>Spend hours traveling across a planet learning about it's geography and wildlife and how best to survive on it
>Go to space for a minute to sell some materials
>Come back and the planet is a totally new one so you might as well have just travelled to a different planet
Sounds fun.
>>334856931
not him but he is right, the moon will have things done to it and shit while you were gone it's not like it's waiting patiently for you to return
it could get hit by a meteor or who the fuvk knows
>>334857074
They haven't shown much depth at all besides the most basic shit
>>334857001
The game doesn't have multiplayer faggot.
You just find other planets other people visited and named.
You will never see another person since the game doesn't have multiplayer.
>>334856853
sooo... nothing?
what are you trying to say here?
Its got billions of planets but its not about the planets.
Its about flying through empty space.
Have I got that right?
>>334856853
I would defend this argument but so far I've seen just planets with different colors. Nothing groundbreaking cause you can basically tell what is behind the next cliff...
>>334857082
But completely change to something new? No. They didn't "nail" anything, it is a bullshit gimmick.
>>334857145
I can understand why not. If they do have something like baby animals and animal nests i would be greatly satisfied finding it while playing, while if they show it off now it would sort of ruin the moment when i do it.
Then again spending time looking for shit that doesnt exist wouldnt be fun.
>>334857273
you dont know if it's going to be changed to something completely new it could still have randomly generated into the same color and stuff you dojnt know
>>334857082
>who the fuck knows
us.
we know.
Nothing has changed up there.
If a meteor hits, it will just rearrange the dust up there.
Same dust.
Same moon.
Same flora/fauna (in our moon's case, none)

AMAZING 10/10 GOTY
>why are indie games dying
OH GEE I DUNNO
I just don't see myself getting a game that's more about popping in from time to time to fly around and "discover" shit than working towards an end goal for $60
>>334857154
it does they were jkoking on not finding other players in the game, learn how to fucking spot a joke holy shit
>>334857078
the parameter which tells what the planets environment should be like is still there, so it's basically different painting but with the same colors.
>>334857078
Shit is consistent, so unless you've fucked up the planet to smithereens it would not regenerate the seed. I also assume it's pulling the data from the servers, at least partially, as the game slowly generates, hence the "DISCOVERED BY X" shit
>>334857448
Yet to see a single fucking thing about any sort of other human interaction other than going to a planet someone else has named.
>>334857078
same seed, same result
Is it even worth a pirate?
It's got infinite planets like borderlands got infinite weapons
it don't
wait i thought /v/ loved games with dinosaurs, isn't it a running meme here to ironically buy any game that has dinosaurs in it? what happened?
>The goal is to get to the center of the galaxy
>That shit will be spoiled day 1
What is the point of this game? Like, god damn. I cannot comprehend why anyone would buy it. It looks like some puddle deep shit you find on gamejolt
>>334854318
>only 10 diffirent layouts
Is there a source to this? That sounds really lame
>>334854318
>only 10 diffirent layouts randomized 98 billion times
where is the source. if this thing is real,this game will be fucking shit
So other than walking around looking at scenery that might or might not be well generated, have they said anything that sounds fun about gameplay mechanics yet? Everything I've heard sounds incredibly shallow or basic.
>>334857629
buy it and you will see
How is everything in this game undiscovered when every time you land on a planet there seem to be trade stations around and the space police can show up in a matter of seconds if you look at the indigenous wild life funny no matter where you are?
>>334857074
they made this game with 2 (two) people
of course that stuff is all going to be in it, just pre order man
>>334857959
Well you can fly, have a gun, kill animals and defenders that die in one hit. There's also a star meter like in GTA. There's little depth
>>334857865
Unless you somehow get into the game's archives shit won't be spoilered in such a short time
>>334857994
haha. No.
Fuck yourself.
>>334857925
>>334857932
No, there isn't. It's just hate shitposting.
>>334854665
>a vastly infinite game with infinite possibilities
do you enjoy walking around the sahara desert because it's so vast and infinite?
neither do i.
>>334856627
Not even the same guy, but this one's easy. I'll go ahead and do it for him!
1. You can fly in space
2. You can fly on a red planet
3. You can fly on a blue planet
4. You can fly on a green planet.
Do I really need to go on? You're making this too easy.
5. You can fly on a purple planet.
6. You can fly on a yellow planet.
I'm not even close to being done. This game simply just has too much content. There's so much to do.
7. You can fly on a magenta planet.
8. You can fly on a orange planet.
9. You can fly on a grayish blue planet.
10. You can fly near a red planet.
I think you now understand how foolish you were to question the absolute cornucopia of content in this game. I literally don't even have the time to list it all out.
>>334856853
so it's minecraft in space
but without most of the building and survival and crafting mechanics that made minecraft popular
>>334858210
Flying is one possibility. We're off to a solid start. Keep them coming.
>tfw our own universe is just part of a shitty indie game programmed by a bunch of hipster faggots
>>334858210
dont forget:
you can fly at a 1 degree angle on the x plane
you can fly at a 2 degree angle on the x plane
you can fly at a 1 degree angle on the y plane
you can fly at a 2 degree angle on the y plane
you can fly at a 1 degree angle on the z plane
you can fly at a 2 degree angle on the z plane
etc.
and all the combinations!
>>334857959
From what we know, the base gameplay is you walk around a planet, name animals and mine materials. You use these to craft basic items which eventually let you leave the planet and travel to a further away one.
The only deeper gameplay seems to involve the buildings/alien NPCs that live on planets. You learn their language by discovering stone tablets over the planet and this lets you trade with that race. Killing the NPC makes the race (or just possibly every NPC in the universe) hostile towards you, which makes traversal and gaining money harder. In theory.
The "general consensus" is that /v/ doesn't have a "general consensus" you fucking redditard.
>>334858352
okay, in each of these planets you can
battle wildlife
battle sentinels
mine crystals (different color with in each planet)
>>334857376
>indie
sony is publishing
>>334858621
But why do you battle the sentinels and wildlife?
Why do you collect the crystals?
>>334857840
nah /v/ now ironically buys and praises games with furries in it like undertale
>>334858721
sometimes the wildlife attacks you so you have to defend yourself, don't know about the sentinels. collecting crystals lets you build better gear.
>>334858872
I was under the impression there was no building or customization of any kind.
>>334859062
>Why you shouldn't take anything /v/ says seriously: the post
>shills so bad they just outright tell you to buy it
>no other sell point except le too many worlds
Fucking dropped
>>334858345
>/v/ suddenly hates minecraft
wait what?
>>334859062
customization? a little I guess, that means the ship. you can add some stuff to your gun. but that's it.
>>334859232
/v/ has always hated minecraft. not really sure why. probably cause of the fanbase.
>>334859245
that sounds awesome and it's still more than 99,9999% of games
>>334858478
You can shoot some guardians
You can shoot some animals
You can have 5 stars
4 stars
3 stars
2 stars
1 star
>>334859349
/v/ is the reason minecraft became popular
>>334854553
this pretty much nailed it on the head
>>334859245
Your suit as well, for surviving on planets with extreme cold, heat, or toxic atmosphere, as well as gadgets like jet packs, scanners etc.
>>334859232
>suddenly
Where have you been these last 5 years?
>>334859349
It's because Notch is a Jew who reneged on all his promises and "released" an incomplete game.
He also used to post here, so there's a "it was my thing first" type of bitterness.
Minecraft worlds are infinite and they are fucking boring.
Erectile: Dysfunction is a boring piece of shit despite the same claims as this game.
>>334859519
so basically, I farm stuff from other planets so I can build a suit which allows me to go to another planet to farm stuff?
>>334859349

>>334859642

>boring
maybe if you have no imagination
i've rebuild countless stuff in minecraft like the deathstar, pikachu, ash, misty etc
>>334859825
Are you literally underage or something?
>>334859349
/v/ hated minecraft after Notch stopped taking advice on changes for the game and started saying Reddit was the inspiration of the game.
It is the exact same reason /v/ hates Ace of Spades. Because the creator turned it's back on conflicting, differing, and interesting opinions and ideas for a hug box of stale, like minded, and bad opinions and ideas.
>>334859825
and this is why NMS won't work. you can't really do stuff like that.
>>334859825
Reading comprehension please.
Minecraft's procedural worlds are boring.
You BUILD stuff to keep you interested, you don't go running around genning hills caves and trees for hours just for kicks, it all looks the same eventually with slight variations because of the limits of the assets it works with.

>>334860048
So yes, literally underage
>>334856749
Hello fellow Dev,
Maybe you should polish up the game first to let us like it
Stop hyping this shit until it comes out
Chances are, it'll be fucking terrible
>>334859812
Yeah, or a ship upgrades, or gun upgrades. I don't see the problem, you'll find it's a pretty common gameplay loop.
Do stuff->upgrade stuff->do harder stuff->upgrade stuff more only describes the vast majority of games out there.
>>334854553
This, I'm not a pathetic child, I can't wait to set up moon bases with turrets and dig to the core of planets until I hit magma, maybe even cause volcanoes to erupt and terraform some worlds
>>334860389
That pretty well describes Starbound and it's terrible

Hm...
Is there anything on the planets? It doesn't matter when there are billions of planets if all of them are empty.
>>334856853
without a destination, there is no journey.
i'd have as much fun with this game as i would with a giant, empty, cardboard box. the box wouldn't cost me nearly as much and at least i could find a find a way to make it multiplayer somehow.
Reading this thread is depressing. It's like not only are there confirmed to be underage posters but it seems like they don't even know what a Molyneux is or why no mans sky will be dull.
Come on famula. It is all fluff and always be fluff. We are not that far ahead yet.
Also shills please leave, this is the wrong place to do it
what's the difference between this game and something like noctis IV?
>>334860456
And pretty much every RPG on the market. What's your point?
I don't even care about people shilling the fuck out of this game, I'm just excited to see the disappointment that comes with its release.
I can't believe anybody is even fucking bothering with this game after the words "procedurally generated" were used. Clear sign of laziness and lack of inspiration.
>>334856584
No Man's Shit aside I really want Star Citizen to fail, only because every fan of it I know is a smug asshole about how they contributed to the most successful kickstarter campaign, how they are helping bring back the best genre ever, etc.
I loved Freelancer but holy shit I haven't seen people slurp dick that hard before.
>>334860568
They are filled with billions of palette swapped pockemans.
>>334860725
They all have end goals, crafted narratives and worlds, and characters.
NMS has none of those things, it has procedurally generated garbage that passes for content.And don't even try to tell me that "get to the center of the galaxy" is a good end goal.
>>334859918
First thing: /v/ isn't one person.
People on /v/ hate Ace of Spade because the devs turned it into a retarded "minecraft with guns" instead of a proper trench warfare simulator. Giving everyone a machine gun was a huge mistake, and everything since then (especially the atrocity which is the Jagex remake) has only made things worse and even more unplayable.
Minecraft is hated for a bit of similar problem. Back in 2009-2010 it was presented as 3D Doft Fortress thing. People kept expect real mechanics and chalked off the simplisity of the gameplay as temporary since it was still in its early development stages.
But then Alpha was released and the game was still very simplistic.
And then Beta was released and the game was still very simplistic.
And then the game was "officially" released and it's been almost the exact same shit as what we've had since /infdev/, except with some absolutely retarded magical and pseudo-RPG XP & hunger elements shoved in at the last minute.
People are upset because they bought into Notch's lies and got the exact same shitty survival lego they thought is just the pre-alpha presented to them as the full game. We never got any of those multiplayer modes, we never even got a modding API.
Notch is a Jew.
You know, I have no problem with NMS being what it is right now. It's just walking sim in space with little stuff to do, it's a tech demo, that's it.
My problem with the game is that the devs and sony keep marketing it as if there is INFINITE POSSIBILITIES and fuckloads of stuff to do, and this is why you have to pay 60 fucking eurobucks for it.
That's just wrong and everyone who thinks this is anything new or that the game keeps you hooked up for hours doing all kinds of cool shit is fucking retarded.
It's a cool looking tech demo, that's it. Now fuck off shills.
>>334860904

What would a GOOD "no man's sky" have, /v/?

Regardless. AoS was turning into that turd becasue the Dev stopped taking advice from people on /v/ and started taking the shitty fucking advice of redditors.
All of the things you said are true but Notch did also neglect the involvement of /v/ in his development of the game early.
Also notch being the lazy shit that he was and still is took numerous "vacations" during development an we still don't got a proper Modding API after MicroPenis took over.

You can't tell a majority on /v/. There are no polls here, there is no like/dislike system. Any "majority" or "consensus" you think you've got nailed down is probably false.
Ever heard of the "loud minority"? There might be 500 people who hold opinion A and make 2 posts about it, and there might be 50 people who hold opinion B and make 30 posts about it. Opinion A would get maybe 1000 posts, and opinion B would get 1500 posts. Does that mean opinion B is in the "majority"?

They wouldn't have guess that the /b/ board died multiple times and gave spawn to how bad this shit is today.
throw in new faggots such as yourself and people from Reddit and tumblr and you have what we currently call /v/
The game is giving mixed messages about itself. They keep touting the heptillions of planets and implore you to explore as many as you can, but at the same time, the actual gameplay seems to be centred on individual planets.
"There's 50 trillion planets, but pick one and stick with it"
>>334860424

>>334863045

That their selling and talking points have always been
>LOOK HOW AT A HUGE NUMBER! HUGE! PROCEDURAL GENERATION IS WOW, WOAH!
is a huge turnoff for this game.
>>334863550
So basically, it was a circlejerk?
Billions of planets with nothing to do, just like this universe.
>>334854318

is this going to be possible?
>>334854318
You see all these things, but what I see is:
>Noctis IV with combat and trading
And i'm all fucking about that shit.
Why didn't they make native humanoid races that generate too with buildings or levels of advancement that generate. So you could find or help new races of aliens. Maybe some tag a long, probably too much work. Just throw the same robots on each planet.
this game just looks like it has no fucking content and for $60 fuck that.

Game would be cool if there was multiplayer.
I mean how the fuck does it no support it?
This is a game where it would actually be HARD to grief people since the chance of even seeing another person is low.
Not to mention the idea of finding a random planet someone has built a base on/settled would keep me playing for a long time.
Then they could expand on it with space/regular combat, conquering systems, etc...
Fucking huge wasted opportunity.
>>334856853
this makes sense on earth, in earth there's a lot of stuff clustered around to make journey's pleasurable.
space is 99.9999999% fucking nothing, and most of the "something" dotted around is dust and rocks.
seriously, the sheer amount of nothing between even the planets in our solar system is astounding. it's fucking incomprehensibly empty.
>>334864293
there is multiplayer.
>>334864080

>>334863995
The real universe is a lot shittier.
Billions of planets and it's impossible for the players to visit another solar system.
We have to content ourselves with virtual realities in which we actually reach alien life.
No planets to reach and nothing to do.
>>334864615
>>334864496
>>334864482
>>334864293
Which is just another layer of disappointment to this game. Of all the space games where walking around inside the ship that doubles as a personal yacht with bar for comfy would fit this would be the one that needs it.
BILLIONS AND BILLIONSGame looks boring as fuck.
>>334863889
Early discussion before Notch bailed on us, it was a bunch of faggots shooting ideas off each other.
After he left and proclaimed all his idea's were reddit's. It was everyone bitching that Notch was a hack and stole the game from the infiniminer guy.
>>334864960
Ok. The game doesn't suck your dick either. Are you going to cry about that next? Go on.
>>334864960
Especially considering that naming creatures gimmick.
Why can't you take your favourite ones with you and keep them in an on board zoo of sorts?
IT'S GONNA BE SHIIIIIIT
So what the fuck do you even DO on planets? Just walk around and collect stuff? Is there any reason to land on planets other then wandering around? I haven't watched any of the recent footage, but I remember they had a 10-15 minute demo a while back and that's all that happened.
>>334864568
Nope, skip to 3:52

>It would take 10 years to discover every planet if EVERYONE ON EARTH discovered 500 planets per minute
>EVERYONE ON EARTH discovered 500 per minute

Where the fuck do these people get their numbers?
How would all the entire human population only discover 500 shitty planets in one minute?
If you're going to make some shitty statement like this atleast don't go full retard with numbers.
>>334855009
>>334855168
"a billion different planets" does not mean there are a billion different planets worth exploring.
if you'd generate a billion square mile map on minecraft and remove all crafting and digging mechanics there won't be a billion square miles you need to see before you get bored with walking
Ok so I did some research and there MIGHT be some multiplayer aspects.
Supposedly whatever a player does to a planet can be seen by the next person to find that planet.
If this is the case, then what the fuck happens if two people happen to be on the same planet and meet each other?
I can't find any official comments on this, and with only 2 months till release it doesn't look good.

Other than that, No Multiplayer's Sky looks pretty shit.

that doesn't sound like much of an incentive to keep me playing for long
>>334865328
>How would all the entire human population only discover 500 shitty planets in one minute?
I'm not sure, but I think they meant as in if each individual would discover 500 planets per minute. I thought it was to emphasize even more the amount of planets.
>>334865119
I don't need a bj from a game, nor a yacht with bar. A game about WWII dog fighting in space somehow found the time to design for the latter, and maybe with another 100 million the former could be possible as well.

It would just be Space Engineers in the Space Engine universe to scale on a single multiplayer server like EVE where your group builds an actual micro empire block by block.

you can see other players. it is possible to see other players. i have no doubts that we will see screenshots and videos of players interacting in some way in game. however it is not a multiplayer game. it's about as multiplayer as if everyone in this thread got dropped in the middle of the fucking sea. you might come across another person trying to get to land, but it's hardly the fucking point.

This game will go down in history as one the biggest letdowns in videogame history, I guarantee it.
Why this game even managed to generate this much hype with so few promises of anything interesting besides "muh billions of procedurally generated planets and animals" will both puzzle and amaze future generations.

Never once have they stated you would encounter another person. the only thing remotely similar to that is encountering a planet someone has been on. You could tell your friends and the world what planet you are on and you would never meet each other because they would go there and not find you due to no actual player interaction.
There is no multiplayer and there is no face to face character interaction.

What exactly does this game offer that currently available space games don't already give me? Planets as "unique" as borderlands guns?
I cant wait to start a career as a universe famous bounty hunter thief lord, I will sneak into other peoples ships and kill the captains and steal the ships and sell them to opposing factions for huge amounts of money. What will you do in this game? Who will you be?

At the base level, procedurally generated stuff is flawed because of the number of variables used is typically limited. This is flawed because this limit causes assets to be reused way more then they should be.
However, what happens if those variables are varied enough to make up for it?
For example, the numbers between 1 and 10. Have a machine randomly pick two in there, and add them up, and the results would be lots of stuff being the same, lots of numbers having been reused.
But, what if it was between 1 and 1 million basic assets? Mathematically, wouldn't this mean that the time it would take to start to see sameface with the planets be much higher? So the main question here, since sameface CANNOT be avoided entirely, how long would you need the game to be unique and interesting to justify its pricetag?
For myself, if I could play the game for around 100 hours, which comes out to less then a weeks worth of time, and it stopped being unique then, I wouldn't feel any buyers remorse then.
Really, they need to damage control. They need to just give a list of the assets being put into the generator, to show if its really going to be as unique and amazing as they say, or if its going to be a 2 hour experience.

KSP/flight sim mechanics but more realistic so it isn't some magic drive bullshit.
Massively multiplayer.
RPG elements with a lot of character being based on initial roll, class based, hop into the game ready to take on a role, minimal skill grinding.
Permadeath without clones, all experience is lost other than what is saved on the clone, credits are retained.
Detailed cockpits and ship internals.
Trade economy like all the space sim clones.
Some AI controlled RTS elements for managing resources and armies.
Space Engineer-ish sandbox ship creation.
Pretty much an impossible omnigame.Traveller but a video game.

>The only answer that I can think of for this is a really technical one. If we were to make a game where we synchronized every player, what they were doing with every other player, then that would be impossible and no one has ever done that. What we can do is, like many games that you have at the moment, where you are flying around with an open lobby. People are coming into that lobby and leaving it – like if you play Watch Dogs or something like that. Effectively, we have players joining your discrete space. We're not trying to make an MMO where you can play with literally 60,000 people on screen. We handle the case like where other people can fly past in your game or that you can bump into other players in the game.
>But that's okay for us because it will never happen. I guess the whole of the entire community could organize to go to one specific spot and then they would find that they weren't all there at the same time. That would be ridiculous.

Where are any of these "Multiple times" you speak of. I have been paying pretty close attention to this games development.
Could you elaborate? If not. You are talking straight out of your ass.

So they need actually need a map editor, way to tweak the gen, or API for adding more shit with mods.

I am going to be the villain. Purposefully go to each planet I can find, and try to destroy as much of the planet I visit as possible. Except for one planet, I will leave it alone and have it pretend to be my base of operations. But actually I will set it up to be a trap of some kind. So when I am chased by bounty hunters, I can just visit the planet, have them die to whatever creatures exist there that they haven't experienced before, and leave to go destroy more planet stuff. I am going to be the worst kind of person in the game. My usertag will be something like "2 hours" to make fun of how long the fun lasts while playing the game.

I want to be able to find people. It's really gay that there are over 18,000,000,000,000 planets and I'll never see anyone else.
Not to mention that over 98% of these faggy planets will never even be SEEN.

I am going to start a trade empire, like in the film "STAR WARS." My friends and I will buy the most weaponized versions of all the ships and we will fly around shooting people out of the sky.

>>334868748
And the procedurally generated craters just like the ones on Earth's moon, those never get old.
I saw a video of a dev saying that you could see players but it would be astronomically rare. Also, they made it so you wouldn't know if it's a real player or an npc.
I think the greatest thing about this game is the infinite number of ways /v/ can ridicule it instead of the "infinite" planets
>>334868384
it's not a game
>>334868858
>it's from a gameinformer interview you can find easily by copy pasting these excerpts.
I did and found nothing.
I bet you could provide a link since the burden of proof is on you.
>it's vague, but it clearly means
Top kek.
>meaning they allow for it. they have programmed it to work.
That's your own interpretation.
I'm asking for solid proofs, not your guesswork based on some nebulous statements.
Why do people keep saying it will fail like Spore? Spore got fucked by EA, this game will just not deliver on expectations because a small team of devs who's experience is Joe Danger games aren't going to be the best team for space exploration?
How does this game already have die hard fanboys who won't stop shilling for it?
>>334869185
if you want solid proof you will need the game in front of you seeing as you don't seem to do a very good job understanding quite simple, albeit cryptic statements. and let me make it clear: the reason they're cryptic is because they don't want the million idiots who populate these threads to get their hopes up about it being a multiplayer game.
you can see other players. you can't see an unlimited number of them and you probably won't see a single one, but the CASE for seeing them is HANDLED by the game's developers. meaning it is possible. this is something they have reiterated in multiple interviews and i just picked the clearest one.
>>334869447
Everything has it's fanbois, mang.
This shit was hyped by Sony for years.

>>334869556
So you have no proofs and just talking out of your fucking arse.
Okay lad.
>>334869556
Do you have a link to an interview where they state this?
Can you DO anything with other players? Seeing them fly by you doesn't mean shit, I see white ghosts in souls game and it has no impact at all, if fact I tuned them out after 2 hours into Demon's.
Can you pair up and shoot each other? Can you land together on a planet and shoot generated Zebraraptors? Can you message each other or eject w/e loot system will be implemented if any?
Can you DO anything with the other player or is just waving their ship avatar all NMS "multiplayer" will offer?

>>334869556
They are clearly trying to confuse people into buying the game. I'm not even kidding, people WILL buy this game with the premonition that it will have multiplayer capabilities, when in reality they wrote in a few lines of code and made it so you "couldn't tell" when you're seeing another player or not. It is literally a scam and people need to demand they come clean. If not, as consumers we need to make sure they regret it when they're rated.
>>334869907
why don't you fuck off
why are you complaining about a game you don't like and will probably never play
Most autistic thread I've seen in a while.
It'll be decent for a day or 2, then the content will run thin and you'll move on to the next game.
1 billion anything just means 10-20 slight variations of the same shit. No doubt they've made a fair few assets but nothing can be unique on exploration of this scale unless it is handcrafted in its entirety.
Its a fucking indie game, don't set your hopes so high.
>>334860424
Hahahahaha
>hey guise our vidya will have plenty of randomly generated planets where you can't do anything because our game is a glorified walking simulator it's so groundbreaking amirite? :D

I thought Just Cause was a pretty good game. Never played the first, second was great, third was alright.
>>334869993
if you think they are in any way encouraging people to buy it as a multiplayer experience you are utterly deluded. seven bajillion times have they said any multiplayer elements are more akin to journey or dark souls than anything else. ephemeral, unpredictable encounters of great scarcity.

This should be a bannable offense.
>Can you DO anything with other players?
We don't know. Hell, we don't even know if you can actually see them.
>Can you pair up and shoot each other?
We don't know. Most probably not.
>Can you DO anything with the other player or is just waving their ship avatar all NMS "multiplayer" will offer?
Again, we don't even know if you can actually see other players.
They have been purposely vague all this time about this supposedly game full of possibilities. If that doesn't raise a red flag you don't know shit about videogames.
>>334870190

A HUGE FUCKING RED COMMIE PINKO BASTARD FLAG DESU
>>334870190
Does this game have multiplayer?
Their answer:
>>334867482
All they had to say:
>>334870091
There is no reason for any multiplayer elements in this game. It is being added solely to sell copies, and is being masked in a way that they don't even have to do it well. Or at ALL. It is so NOT a feature in this game that you won't even notice it happening. Seriously? Why have it in the game then? Give me one reason other than sales.
>>334870492
yes, they do.
This is going to be an even bigger letdown than spore was
>>334870552
>paying
>>334870190
>more akin to journey
>ephemeral, unpredictable encounters of great scarcity.
You've never even seen a video of that game, have you?
>>334870627
No. They say "well, it would be pretty hard for it to happen".
That's all they fucking say.
>>334870750
There are people who are going to pay for it. Some already did. From what they have shown us it's barely worth 1/3 of that though.
People are stupid, what a shock.
>>334858074
Yeah doesn't make sense to me that part
>>334860198
But that would make him do the fucking Starkiller Base, not the Death Star
I feel sorry for the devs.
Sure, they are going to make a quick buck, but good luck rasing hype for a new game ever again this Molineux-style bumfuckery
>>334870557
because the fundamental concept of the game allows for it. the whole idea is that the game is procedurally generated on your end from a universally shared seed, and that you are 'exploring' the results of this. on a game of this scale, you can have everyone occupying their own small sector of and never interact, but statistically some people WILL interact, and that is interesting.
The shills are all-out today
>>334871253
>but statistically some people WILL interact
That is, if the game allows them to interact, which is very unlikely at this point.
>>334871139
Lol, that's a one shot dev house, they don't care. They will return to mobile market after spending all sonybucks on hash.
>>334871253
You seem to be assuming people will actually play this.
>>334870837
this obviously heavily implies that it is possible, and they go on to feed you information about how it works - that there is a limit on how many player characters can see each other within a space, it's relatively small but they don't anticipate it being exceeded, there are no UI signifiers that you are playing with another human, that you'll only be able to find out what you look like by having it described by another player, etc. it is more far-fetched to believe this is all a big smokescreen than just to accept the heavy implication that you can in fact see another dude playing on a different couch if you cross paths.
>>334871253
>enigmatic fundamental concept
>somehow implies hard code and infrastructure
>>334871421
>That is, if the game allows them to interact, which is very unlikely at this point.
it depends what you mean by interact. they do say you can see each other.
>>334871620
>even more regurgitated marketing fairytales
>>334871746
>they do say you can see each other.
They don't.
>>334871620
>smokescreen
THE word on topic right there.
that fucking image
>it would take everyone on earth 500 years to count all of the 500 trillion numbers I generated if they counted 2 thousand per second
>>334871858
yes, they do.
People are expecting actual multiplayer features in a game that don't even have persistent changes in planets?
HA!
My bet is that you will sometimes see some trail in the sky for a few seconds as a player travels near you. Period.
Anyway this vague as shit marketing scheme is irritating as hell and the devs can go fuck themselves even if the games turns out good. (It won't, bacause no game ever with marketing like this has turned out ok ever)
>>334871253
I seriously doubt you can see another person on a planet. They imply you can, which is deceptive, but they never explicitly say it, and the game is not designed around it.
>>334872216

>infinite possibilities
Anon, please.
What you call "infinite possibilities" is just needlessly many configurations of a very finite number of things.
The creators of Skyrim could have used procedural generation to offer literally billions of quests, but it would still be a small number of quest types repeated a billion times each with minor variations.
If you just want to explore billions of procedurally generated planets, there's always Space Engine.
>>334872439
>What you call "infinite possibilities" is just needlessly many configurations of a very finite number of things.
i.e: the way the actual fucking universe works
>>334872289
No, they don't. You failed to provaide any proof of that.
On top of that you're building your wishful thinking on old info.
>>334872551
there aren't many planets in the actual universe you'd have fun on.
So, let me get this straight:
IF NMS ends being a good game, /v/ will become shitposting central with people going 'see I told ya'
IF NMS ends being a bad game, /v/ will become shitposting central with people going 'see I told ya'
Whoever wins, we lose.
>>334872321
all changes are persistent for the player
"significant" changes are persistent to all players
>>334872360
the message i get it is: don't expect it, but it could happen. i don't see why it would be so difficult to implement either.

The point is that it's not infinite fun.
when open-world games were first invented, people were allowed to be stupid and think "OMG WOW YOU CAN DOLITERALLYANYTHING" and be excited about it, but that meme was supposed to die when everyone with a brain realized that it's not even close to being even slightly true.
Most open-world games are boring.

it isn't wishful thinking because i already feel heavily discouraged from expecting a strong multiplayer component.
>>334872706
Again with the vague claims about the game's limitations.
What's "significant"? Scripted events? Why those fucks can't give a straight answer for anything? What are they hiding?

It is pretty clearly stated here that that is not the case:

It's wishful thinking because you are expecting a multiplayer component at all.

>>334870679
It needs to have the same level of hype to do that and it falls incredibly short.
>>334873004
he's talking from a code perspective dipshit. the assets are "thrown away" and then regenerated when you return, with changes in tact
>>334873046
i don't consider that wishful thinking as i wasn't expecting nor asking for it in the first place. i'm just picking up what they're putting down, anon. the important aspect of what you're doing in the game is simply your co-ordinates in the universe. if you share co-ordinates with another player, the server ensures you can see each other. that's all.
>>334873143
The point is they want you to spend $60 dollars on "the journey" :^)
>>334873230
Ehh... no, man, that's not what he's saying at all.
>>334873252
> if you share co-ordinates with another player, the server ensures you can see each other. that's all.
I bet 20 bucks this won't happen.
>>334872892
Say I burrow into a cool cave and I want to take another player there -- if I take them to that cave will they see it as a plain-old wall? Hello Games has insisted that seeing other players will be a rarity.
>And if it’s all fine because your tiny hole doesn’t matter, and you’ll probably never see another player anyway
So they don't actually bother adding functional multiplayer in the game, they simply design it in a way that it's impossible for you to notice.
Is there a dev from this game in here? Because from the beginning of the thread to the end there have been posts taking these comments incredibly personally
>>334872698
Yes.. however there is no one on /v/ right now saying that it will be good. The general consensus from nearly every thread about this shit game is that it'll be shit. It will probably be shit.
No one here is ironically shitposting for fun. Everyone is seriously in doubt of this game's liability for being anything other than a glorified walking simulator.

the enormity of the simulated milky way in elite will likely never be fully mapped out, let alone visited. it's too huge. gradual community decay and frontier's likely indefinite support for the title will ensure that the title forever lives on as a ghost gameor blossom after a couple of full expansions and see thevisionrealized.

I see the SONY marketing department in this thread, so allow me to stop that by shilling another space game that actually looks interesting:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-mpm_47k6Q
My only problem with this title is...Kickstarter
I didn't like how SUPA HOT turned out to be a 2 hour long game
I didn't like Wollay running away with the money and returning 5 years later to actually develop Cube World
I dunno man, maybe this is different. One thing is sure tho: Is a hell of a lot more interesting than No Man's Spore
>>334870290
>Can you DO anything with other players?
Devs have already stated that the only online interaction is finding planets and animals that other players have named.
Literally the only point of the multiplayer is so you can find an animal called "3==D~" on the planet "your mom lel"

Why bring logic into it when you can have the bajillion planet generator spit out a few random numbers in between a min and max and then just populate it with shit?
>>334881768
But there's a thermometer with 200 different temperatures. So that's like 200X the amount of possibilities!
See how you can get to a billion pretty easily?
>>334881909
It's a shame because if the procedural generation was smart you could find some really cool, actually plausible things. It looks shallow as fuck though
So at most like 50 planets will look varied and then everything will just become a color swap, right?
I men, how many times have we fallen for this "infinite, millions/billions" thing before? Skyrim, Borderlands, Spore etc.
>>334866064
Understanding astrophysics is irrelevant here - the stated goal of the game is to reach "the center of the universe."
>>334882083
You kinda have a give and take.
You either have autistic stuff like Aurora that doesn't graphically represent stuff as well, but takes into account atmosphere composition, pressure, distance from the sun(s), as well as other factors to create a planet.That you can then terraform to your will.
Or you get stuff that can do the whole fly from space to planet stuff, but then can't follow through with keeping the planet "correct" since that would take work.
>>334882125
>>334882047

Can someone explain to me why this large number of planets means this is a good game
Literally anyone could do that with a computer these days. It's so fucking easy to plug in a bunch of random textures and say "computer, make every possible combination of these"
I've fucking seen shit for this game for years now it seems. But not once have I ever been able to figure out WHAT YOU DO IN THE GAME
WHAT DO YOU DO
ARE THERE QUESTS?
ARE THERE ENEMIES?
IS THERE A STORY?
DO YOU CRAFT SHIT?
WHAT INCENTIVE IS THERE TO VISIT OTHER PLANETS?
I just don't fucking get it. From what I've seen, this is just a horribly over glorified Space Engine, WHICH ALREADY EXISTS BY THE WAY
>>334882367
It seems like what is going to happen is you will have a written story over the procedural stuff. So you have to grind to do the main story line.
>>334857691
Ok I think I'm starting to get you here. There claiming this huge amount of diversity. When there is a limit to the amount of assets a small indie team can create for the game to use to form all these things. So it won't take long to see all the combinations start repeating. Like in Borderlands they said they wanted to see a gun that would break the game where as that would never happen since they gave all guns a set of parameters it can fall into.
>>334883810

>WHAT INCENTIVE IS THERE TO VISIT OTHER PLANETS?
Better answer: the main gameplay loop is gathering resources/tech from planets to upgrade your shit, allowing you to travel farther/to more dangerous planets and eventually reach the center of the universe
For real, what is there to even do in this game? Fly around and look at planets? Can you even do anything ON the planets?
I can see it now.

Also Faction ships, such as freighters/capitals and escorts, and sentinels on the planets (ancient robots protecting the galaxy trope)
>Is there a story?
The "goal" they've reiterated is to travel to the center of the galaxy, which supposedly gets more interesting (they described something like "letting the creator sliders deviate more and more")and difficult the further in you go. But yea, you can just ignore that if you want.
>Do you craft shit?
Yes, sorta. You use resources and blueprints found through exploring, trading, or raiding to upgrade your gear, but you can't make anything else. You have to buy ships.
>What incentive is there to visit other planets?
Gathering elements, completing planetside tasks, sightseeing. Most planets only have a limited set of elements, and they've said before that certain types of planets with certain climates will have different elements.

I almost want to buy Elite Dangerous since I'm autistic and have nothing at all to play until Stellaris comes out. I shouldn't buy it though, right? It does look like a scheme, but half of me is fine with mundane "podcast gaming" as these threads like to mention.

Well for me personally I want one that lets you go from ship piloting to FPS as well as giving the player access to capital ships and fighters alike.
Star Citizen looks right up that alley, but it will never be released so it's gets dumped on the pile of sadness as well.
Having the player be able to create and influence system wide economies by building stations, trade routes, or planet-based colonies would be neat too.

Yeah that SC fanbase has some real hardcore nutcases that get crazy. Almost as bad as the cock sucking faggots who want to see the game fail.
>oh wait
Game looks fun honestly. If it can hold me for like 100hrs then I'd say i got my moneys worth. Cant ask for much more than that

the game looked like shit from the beginning and if you couldn't tell that from the get go you're retarded, you ARE a child, and you have no one to blame but yourself when the disappointment comes crashing down
