Y'all excited for Spore 2?
Except it'll actually be good lol
kill yourself
>>344103094
>mfw No Man's Sky flops
>>344103094
Yeah I'm excited to see the buuer's remorse threads on release day and all the butthurt in general when people realize they fell for the procedural generation meme once again
>>344103094
>Infinite amount of space to explore
>Literally nothing to do with it
LOL
I hope not, I just want a good video game to play for once
>>344103094
More like Spore without the cool parts.
>>344103094
What happens when you get to the center of the galaxy?
>>344103151
>>344103170
>>344103275
>>344103432
Literally every major advertisement for the game has been about how big it is, with very little focusing on what cool things you get to do in that massive world.
Draw conclusions for yourself.
>>344103626
You make it to the center of the Grox empire and get the end cutscene and then get a rod of life with 42 uses.
It's gonna be cool for the first few hours.
Then you realize all the "procedural" generation is just the same shit but this time painted red instead of blue.
Then you realize there will be nothing to do except "explore".
Then you realize the game is a glorified walking simulator.
>>344103151
It's be worse except it'll be less of a disappointment
>>344103930
You made me realize that literally nothing at the center of the galaxy would be worth $60.
I am excited for maximum comfy
>>344104095
But don't you want what's in the mystery box anon?
It could even be a boat!
>>344103151
for about 2-3 hours then get boring as fuck
>>344103275
It sucks because I like the idea behind it but it flopping will mean companies will think the very concept of exploration games is unmarketable.
Someone said Spore
wait i thought it was out already
>>344104208
Hmm, but what quality of boat?

What is this meme?
Even those who criticize this gem know it doesn't play like spore.
Hence the "walking simulator" accusations.
I don't think this game will be bad at all, but the marketing is pretending this isn't a niche title when it absolutely is.
This game will get ridiculous amounts of hate on launch.
>>344104208
OR IT COULD BE FREE TICKETS TO A CRAPPY COMEDY CLUB

When are we ever going to see a developer attempting something like this again and doing it right?
>>344110396
lol really?
more?
>>344103094
Except they aren't taking stuff away. We already know it's shit.
>>344110052

we can do it see, we will steal all the space cash, escape into another galaxy while we are on the lamb from the space police see.
>>344110504
Thats the only one i have.
There was another with the planets only.
>>344105032
>This game will get ridiculous amounts of hate on launch.
Especially because there are still people out there that believe it has multiplayer.
>People talk shit about Elite Dangerous being empty and boring but SOBIGGALAXY SOMANYSTARS CLIMBTHATMOUNTAIN
>Hype up this shit
>>344110396
This is what I'm expecting, with random generation we're probably going to see repeats and re-colors.
But hell, I'll keep some kind of journal going that categorizes everything I see. If it's really uncharted territory like they say then it'll be pretty fun.
>>344110943
This will at least have some kind of life on planets that you can land on and explore.
E:D still doesn't have atmospheric flight or life forms outside of planet description text.
Subnautica plays extremely well already so I don't think NMS can get better than that. The $60 price tag of NMS isn't really worth it.
I will wait for more gameplay footage before getting hyped. So far, everything shown is meh.
>>344103674
but will it be better than Elite: Dangerous where you also can't do anything?
>>344110943
I just want space games to be great again
>>344110410
That's actually why I keep posting these, I hope that one day some determined guy will take the old concept for Spore and actually make it
>>344111341
Give it some time, anon.
Publishers only just realized that gamers never stopped wanting space sims. Gonna take a bit for them to make what we want.
If SC manages to work, awesome. But I'm not holding my breath.
>>344111007
Play space engine and you will see procedual done right, but still you can tell its procedual.

It's going to be delicious. For over a year they kept saying in major interviews and previews, "The universe is so vast meeting another player is unlikely" without ever outright stating there was no multiplayer. Then they finally announce there is no multiplayer in a small interview that most people are likely to miss.
Hope the game breaks record number of refunds.
>AAA dev in 2016
>still manage to make a procedural game that is as barebones as Daggerfall was from 1998
>>344111510
At least we have CoD: Infinite Warfare to fill that gap.
>>344110889
Wait. What?
It doesn't? What the fuck? Explain!
Not following this game very much but I kinda expected multiplayer to be... you know, the whole thing.
>>344103952
The best part will be when the people playing figure out some sort of exploit that makes the game fun and interesting.
Which will then be patched out because it wasn't intended.
>>344111770

Oh man I loved this year. I complain about CoD pretty regularly and my friends love that shit. But I love space sims, and that trailer looked fucking neat! Maybe not great, but definitely better than recent CoD releases.
My friends that love CoD hated it. Go fucking figure.
>>344111872
yes....
look at
>>344111901
No multiplayer AT ALL.
>>344111942
Not every developer has that perfect blend of know-how and autism that Bay 12 has.
>>344111942
Toady is a literal genius.
>>344111901
has this ever happened with any of its spiritual predecessors (black&white, spore, and the like)? because I cant imagine that being true
oh while we're at it I also want to point out that star citizen : fable :: no man's sky : spore
>>344112083
That's because AAA companies don't offer competitive wages and think slave hours will attract people going to Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, Google, etc.
>>344112024
It was weird hearing Infiniteward talk about space combat that wasn't attached to rails. It looks like they accomplished almost everything SC is trying to do and more.
>center of the galaxy is the black hole
>nothing else
>well lets enter the black hole i guess
>you are teleported into a new galaxy and RNG shit starts again
>ultra deep "universe is infinite" achievement unlocked
I can see this shit actually happening
The game's not even half as ambitious as Spore tried to be. Not sure why it's being blown up out of proportion.
>>344112691
>It looks like they accomplished almost everything SC is trying to do and more.
>codfans believe this
>>344112897
Player base exponentially increases throughout the years.
While the ambition hype factor isnt there the amount of people hyped is far greater now.
>>344112691
>It looks like they accomplished almost everything SC is trying to do and more.
ahhh I'd pump the brakes on that one, anon.
CoD is good at building setpieces and convincing looking dioramas. There's more going on in Star Citizen than what a standard CoD title would touch on.
>>344112691
>>344113202
and the whole fuckin' MMO aspect
shiet nigger
>>344112897
I remember the day this presentation occurred. Jaws were on the floor. Then EA had to kill it, Will Wright, and Maxis to get the game out the door.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8dvMDFOFnA
>>344113359
Well even if you compare the CoD trailer with footage from Arena Commander. The ship physics alone are leagues ahead of whatever CoD is masking behind those filters and jump cuts.
>>344113359
Oh yeah the MMO portion. I keep thinking SC is only SQ42 for some reason.
>>344103094
If youve actually been following it, youd understand that theyre actually being pretty subtle about advertising the game, and that its journalists that are freaking out over "INFINITE GAMEPLAY FOREVER"
>>344104906
>procedural
>procedural
>procedural
He keeps pushing it and pushing it and honestly, this is where the game really screwed up. Their fixation on utterly unremarkable and bland procedural features detracted from the actual gameplay, and it's unfortunate that this ideology survived Spore to plague the current generation of games.
>>344114316
>theyre actually being pretty subtle about advertising the game
Because there's hardly any game to advertise.
>>344113493
Shit yeah. The fidelity alone in Star Citizen is leagues ahead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10TAH5LVCowtho I kind of want to play Infinite Warfare and I haven't purchased a COD since the 2nd game

You didn't miss much.
CoD 4 and Black Ops 2 were worth playing but that's it.

Wut? One is going for realism and the other clearly is more interested in making the planets interesting with animals, plants or others stuffs.

Calling it now
~20 "species" with variations in size, color etc
~15 planet "biomes" with varying geology
.
What I fucking want is to find my very own planet and encounter lethal purple gas clouds that are sentient beings and aren't found anywhere else in the universe. But I know it's going to be more like "auburn brochiosorus with green spots" and "E3 fish"
I want to be hyped but I have a feeling it will be a walking simulator. I'll land on the same kind of biome planet ten times in a row and discover the same minerals and animals I already cataloged on my first day playing. I'll visit an empty spaceport to interact with stiff AI that either want to kill me or give me shit all for stuff I've found. I'll have to spend days tracking down one necessary mineral I need to craft new equipment. That is, after I figure out I actually need it because there's no catalog of recipes or blueprints. So not only will I visit the same planet biome dozens of times but it will take forever just to upgrade my suit so that those planets don't drain my health.
It'll be a more polished and stylized but crappier Subnautica.
>>344125912
You can never satisfy everyone.
There's autists that claim the game is sht because it's not realist like SE
Then there's autistd like you who look for reasons to complain, if there was purple cloud beings in the game you'll complain you can't harvest them and use them as a weapon. Literally "I'm a pro idea guy and I could save this game by myself"
>>344126162
Wouldn't it be great if they had procedurally generated dialogue, npcs and stories for space games.
God damn, if society doesn't collapse future games could be great. Especially space games.
>>344126690

this is where it should've went
but instead we got bigger storage devices and stronger hardware so procedural generation became a niche

>>344126380
This game was sold almost as a "sim universe" since it was revealed but we've seen almost nothing about the variations of alien life. I have founded reservations about the lack of lifeforms they've shown. Maybe it's so outlandish and diverse that they're keeping it a surprise, but I kinda doubt it. I wasn't even addressing gameplay devices.
>>344128109
Define "sim universe"
>>344103094
So glad this is getting a PC release
>>344111872
There is multiplayer, just not what you would expect. Because the world is so huge, it will be very rare for you to encounter another player.
>>344120845
If theres a mod that lets me fuck aliens sure,
>>344114493
But that was pretty much the point. It was supposed to be an experience which the game itself designed around how you'd built your creature. But then instead they dropped that and made everything feel generic.
>>344103674
>every major advertisment
There's your problem. You are watching sony's ads. Not interviews or videos from the devs.
Sony is only shilling the game because it's a ps4 exclusive, the devs never cared about the game becoming a huge success and have only barely bothered to release marketing stuff on their own as a result, but what they have released actually goes into detail on stuff.
>>344128109
They've said the further in the galaxy you get, the more esoteric and actually alien it will get.
By the time you get to the middle, they've said it will hardly even be recognizably being animals or planets.
>>344104906
>>344104775
As somebody who has actually worked on a game with other people, I love how /v/ always misses the point of this and whines at EA
what caused the shift in spore's design goals wasn't EA, it was people inside the dev team disagreeing.
Working on the game I worked on gave me a huge appreciation for how easily two people, who both want the best for a game, can cause catastrophic damage to it just by doing what they think is right for it. And that's just 2 people. Scale that up to 30 or even a hundred people.
Making games is hard. You have to not only be competent at doing your job, but balancing that, and what you think is best, with what everybody else thinks is best. It's as much interpersonal skill as it is artistic/programming/3d modelling skill.
At least, that's how it was for me. If you actually have an hierarchy it's probably easier.
>>344128494
Well too bad it'll use Denuvo.
>>344113363
see
>>344130949
I own both artbooks for spore. both talk about the shift to the cartoon stuff a lot. Had nothing to do with EA, it had to do with half the studio wanting it to be science based, the other half(led by chris hecker) wanting it to be cartoony/stylized
>>344130949
>There's your problem. You are watching sony's ads. Not interviews or videos from the devs.
Have you actually watched the interviews and videos from the devs?
They almost exclusively only talk about how large the game is, while only vaguely what you can actually do in the game.
>>344131504
>while only vaguely what you can actually do in the game.
They're only vague on questions like "IS THERE GODZILLA IN THE GAME" or everything regarding multiplayer, which they confirmed is a minor part of the game anyway.
Other than that, you've got a pretty good idea of what the game's about if you read interviews
>>344131504
>Have you actually watched the interviews and videos from the devs?
Yes, have you?

>>344131795
>you've got a pretty good idea of what the game's about if you read interviews
Not him, but there's absolutely nothing worth the hype honestly. They said that you'll roam on procedurally generated planets to get upgrade materials, to make a better ship and jump further everytime.
The key word is procedural, and there's not been a single open world game doing procedural generation in an interesting way. Considering the size of the dev team, it is dellusional to hope for more diversity than
> blue raptor with a big tail has the same model on planet A as red raptor with a smaller tail on planet B.
It is going to be a devastating disappointment if you hope for more than that. Sure they will have one or two cool alien models, but the diversity is bound to be poor and artificially "endless"
I watched some of the streams and they've been advertising it wrong, then even noted it in one of them. They said that they were doing the streams to show what 30 mins of gameplay might look like and now how they have been advertising it with LOOK THERE IS DINOSAURS AND SHIT IN SPACE! Overall the advertising is kinda off but the actual gameplay they've shown makes it out to be more calm like a little stress reliever.
>>344103094

Also funny how only just now they decided to report on the 2months delay and let people know on their main site
