Depend on how deep you go.
You can think they're shills threads.
But, you can also think they're shitposting threads because the game is known to make people mad.

You don't lose anything of the experience by skipping buying and playing the game and just watching 1 episode of a Let's Play channel where they discover the center of the map.

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

>having an opinion influenced by metacritic

>>345225713
Since when does hiring a concept artist and following his lead harder than making an algorithm complicated enough to generate star systems with stuff in them? Of course, there's nothing wrong about that, but that'd be a different game (isn't it pretty much what SC is aiming for, anyway?)

>>345225713
Uh, you do realize that the game was made by ten people, right? If they did design everything, the studio would balloon to two hundred people easily. Have you ever done any 3d modeling and texturing? I can take a guess and say you haven't.
>>345225414
That's pretty much true for all singleplayer games then.
I like that they seem pretty inspired by pulp scifi and old scifi movies like 2001. The interface / HUD makes me think of Destiny which is cool. Having a suit with heat, weapons with all these mods that let you modify planets, the ability to name everything and other players can find your named things but the chances are incredibly low, etc. are all cool ideas. Just hearing it sounds very cool.
Unfortunately it is almost guaranteed to get old after like 20 hours, and that might be generous. Because at the end of the day, the narrative here is that there really isn't one. You are exploring space because... why? What is the big conflict here? Is there something in the universe to find at the end? What about this is supposed to stimulate me for hours and hours aside from landing on a new planet, seeing a couple new creatures that continue to share the same 2-3 AI templates, or a new resource that lets me build X weapon mod for no real reason, etc? This is just for pure exploration. If you're into that, and you like pulp scifi, cool, this seems like the perfect game for you, and you might never need another game again. But for everyone else it doesn't seem to offer much. The way they designed it, I can't even play with any friends, not even one.

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

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

And yeah, procedural generation isn't a new concept, but the team HAS made the wheel rounder, so to speak. For example, the creatures go through many attributes of height, width, and lengths for each part of their body, not to mention the scale /skin coloring to fit in the environment. I wish I had an infographic on me, but there was a long presentation that one of the artists from Hello Games gave at GDC, look it up.
Proper level/world design > Procedural generation
This is an undisputed FACT.
I just wish the game didn't have a mining/crafting system. I don't want Minecraft in Space.
>>345227268
Planets have only one biome and are mostly set on a single climate. So once you landed and did your things in the area you can know if it's a snowy planet, or a poisonous planet and can leave in search of the next one.I'm still waiting for the game because it'll probably turns out enjoyable
>>345227062
There is combat, survival and resource gathering. You have upgrades that you work toward.
>>345227546
You actually don't have to bother with them if you don't want to, just discovers a ton of new things and fight in space for money
>>345226810
Well it sounds cool. I think given the sheer size of the universe they made, it's going to be really slow paced, and the reveal of that lore will take a VERY long time for each player, so for me I think it will be a relatively boring experience. But hopefully they balance it the right way that lots of people enjoy it.
At the very least the soundtrack will probably be pure gold. The first song we got already is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTpBVMHKjc4
>>345227568
But if the planets are actually atmospheric and the loot/upgrade treadmill is paced and designed to keep it interesting when you find something then it could still be worth spending time even if the biome is the same. FO4 sucked, but I found exploring the glowing sea to be pretty damned fun, mostly because of the atmosphere and how alien it felt. I liked that I had to find a hazmat suit to go in, and how that effected the gameplay.
I spent at least an hour or two enjoying the exploration. If the other mechanics aren't a mess, I see no reason why that can't work out for 30+ hours. I'm not expecting that because I've been burned too many times. But it doesn't make sense to say it won't happen. We just don't know yet.
Maybe the "real size planets" thing isn't too far fetched after all?
>>345228187
Pretty tinies planets if you ask me, but yeah, they do seem big enough that you'll never be able to explore one entirely.

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

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

>>345230847
>I-it doesn't count
>>345230430
I'm tempering my hype with doubt, you are making baseless conjecture.
I totally disagree with what you say about PG as well. Somebody beat me to the Dwarf Fortress argument, but obviously nobody is expecting that kind of quality. I think some people just dislike or like PG as a matter of taste.
I'd also like to point out that 3d PG landscapes haven't yet been done with the degree of rigor that we've seen in screenshots and trailers. It isn't exactly the same as a PG dungeon, or an ASCII dorf world. I have no idea what the shelf life will be, but I don't think we should assume it is the same.
>>345231026
Thought I explained pretty well why it doesn't, but since I need to oversimplify:
No man's sky is 20% content, 80% procedural generation
Dwarf fort is 80% content, 20% procedural generation
If it still counts, I conceded my point, but I don't think we should lump dwarf fort in with any other game
>>345231026
He didn't say that. He said that No Man's Sky and the miracle of pure autism that is Dwarf Fortress are on completely different levels when it comes to procedural generation.
>>345231297
Source on thoses numbers or you just pulled them out of your ass?
What people dont seem to understand is that the game is actually challenging as everything you use from your ships fuel to ammo to your suits hazard protection uses resources. So you wont be just landing on planets and leaving theres gonna be hazardous ones that youll have to figure out how to survive on. So even if the game does get boring after the 100th planet youll have already played it for atleast 60+ hours. The hyperdrive fuel requires rare materials to craft and at first you wont even have a hyper drive you have to build that before you can leave the solar system. Devs said itll take 4-5 hours to leave the first planet anyways so its not just a walk around and look at planet simulator. Its not easy to get to each planet in the first place. And thats not even factoring in how many times youll die from creatures on the planets or pirates or biohazards in space

>>345227062
The main task in the game is to get to the centre of the galaxy. This requires you to upgrade your ship, upgrade your suit to endure different environments, upgrade your guns to mine things easier (to craft new items), and also to protect you from predators and sentinels (robot guardians, a bit like the police in GTA)
Yeah the gameplay probably isn't going to be quite as in depth as other triple A games like Mass Effect or whatever, but it's still got some solid RPG elements. There's a whole backstory to the game's alien factions that you learn about by reading their ancient runes and decoding their language. If you learn their language then you can increase your standing with that race, and they'll give you better deals when you trade with them. Or you can shoot their ships and steal their cargo, but that will decrease your standing with them.

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

>>345233547
They also said that the only way to know what a player character looks like is to meet someone else.
You can also apparently see your friends on the galactic map, every player is converging toward the same point, and rich planets shared by the player that discovered it can be seen by everyone, therefore if it has a valuable resouce on it people would probably want to drop by to take a few, and there's common points in every solar system like space stations.
So that's severals factors you have to take into account, but it'll probably still be rare to find another player.
>>345233761
While it does feature multiplayer, it does not affect gameplay at all. The offline experience will be almost exactly the same as the online experience
Friends will show on the galactic map
You will be able to see other players
Only a few people can be seen at one time. If lots of people converge on an area, then you will only see a few of them
Friends do not take priority in regards to who can be seen
There will be PvP

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

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

>>345240121
Graphics and art style is too simplistic.
>>345240276
aka "it's not brown rocks"
>>345240121
Planet variety consists of earth sized planets with biomes, there's no black hole physics, no binary systems, it just doesn't represent the possibilities that exist out there in space like Space Engine does.
>>345240276
Really? I think the art style looks great, it's supposed to be a throw back to early science fiction.
The game just needs multiplayer to be great. I want to start a space pirate gang
so what the fuck do you do in this game?
>>345240421
It's not supposed to though. The game is influenced by science fiction. It was never meant to be realistic representation like space engine.
>>345240439
It's clearly made to accommodate consoles at 60fps.
>>345240465
You can do that in Elite or something if you really want.
>>345240512
Explore the same dull, empty procedurally generated planets for six hours, then uninstall and feel bad about spending sixty bucks on it.
>>345240528
Ok, fair enough then, if that's what they're going for then I guess it just doesn't interest me. Without that variety I'd probably just find the game fun for a few hours before everything just looks the same.
>>345240512

>>345222517
I wonder how long the draw distance would be.
>>345223235
Its a shitposting thread making fun of the idiots that overhype the game, but me personally I am excited for the game, but not overhyped for it. I am looking forward to the game. I am looking forward to exploring the worlds, meeting the types of animals, farming resources, destroying mountains or carving them into shapes, and seeing what happens if I get involved with the space battles they showed before. Don't really care about the lack of multiplayer.

I can't help but feel like there are only 1-2 people actually defending the game here.
Every argument is shut down by them calling people retarded randomly, or are just continually asking for a source over the most minuscule things

>>345241903
There's literally retards coming in every threads to ask the same questions though, so what's wrong with reminding them they're retarded?
>>345241665
Then why don't they show these things? Why do they showcase the same planet in every trailer? This would honestly get me more interested
>>345242230
>Then why don't they show these things?
They have no idea how to market this shit. The spokesman for the game is one of the developers and he's terrible at public speaking, which is a shame since the game engine they've made is somewhat interesting.
On the other side of the coin you've got Bethesda. Bethesda makes turds, but they know exactly how to present them. Say what you want about Todd, the man is a rusemaster but he knows exactly what he's doing.
I can't get hyped about this game due to how much backtracking the devs are doing on everything
Not only are they rejecting to really say or show much content in the game but they flatout are removing features
>So is there multiplayer in the game?

>>345223235
I'm looking forward to playing but it's still fun to make fun of the game.
>>345241903
This basically. The people are basically divided into groups such as:
The "its another spore" group.
Don't care about the actual game, they basically only care about the game being a failure so they can get on the tortanic bandwagon.
The "what do I do" group.
Idiots and morons. No idea what they do in the game, so spend the thread making everyone repeat themselves.
The "where's my social features" group.
Normies obsessed with multiplayer being a important part in every game. They feel that single player games are bad and outdated, and that games are only fun at all for them to play with their friends in some way.
The very few people that actually want the game group.
People that want to do everything everyone finds boring. Farm for ship parts, blow up mountains on their planets, get into space battles. Basically have fun. I myself fall into this group.

No it won't, I'm honestly only replying and giving ou souces so other people than you can see how you're full of shit. Please go back to the SE threads and keep begging the dev to make a kickstarter.

Guid a = Guid.NewGuid();

would work better. At some point the List itself probably runs into an overflow problem though.

>>345243537

>>345243168
>Because it's a game about discovering stuff yourself? What kind of question is that?
Because they are trying to sell a game to people, with their core game mechanic being exploring, you'd think they'd want to show more variety, no?
>I guess showing 50 different planets doesn't matter
No, it doesn't. Not when the're all the type of earth-sized planet with a different skin color.

Plus we all know it's going to be a commercial success, don't say the average player give enough of a shit about how games are made to document himself on procedural generation.

Ah fuck it. I don't care about the rest.
I hope the algorithm for procedural generations will allow for true surprises. Something like when burrowing deep beneath a planet that you end up in a huge magma cave or like the crystal canyon in The Core.
But everything so far were the same flat and low hills terrain planets. Variation is null.

This is one of my biggest peeves. In one of their interviews the guy says that, "if the change to a planet isn't big enough then the changes will revert back."
Literally can't dig out a nice comfy home and come back to it whenever I want. Every planet will be, "new" and you'll have no sense of belonging to any individual planet, since anything you do to it doesn't save.
Where's the sense of relaxation if you can't even make something feel like home?
>>345248357
Because space minecraft has no multiplayer and when asked devs constantly evade the question knowing full well that a definite answer will impact sales.
>>345248489
but 18 gorillion, anon
I don't even get the point of this game.
Haven't they said reaching the center is actually impossible? So what's the real goal?

ITS A FEATURE

Honestly I think waiting as long as they have to actually release the game has hurt it massively
>>345248357
>implying Minecraft is anything like this game
Good joke, retard.
>>345248489
You're pretty nitpicky. I have nothing against base-building but if it doesn't bring anything into the game and you have to dig up a cave to call it home (why not just hanging around a building with a view you like?) then it's worthless to call the devs out on this.
Not to mention it's an exploration game and you're supposed to move forward.

It could be great, it could be shite, it could be somewhere between the two but theres no way in hell you should jump to pre-order games these days.
Wait for its release, wait for reviews, watch some streams and stuff and wait more. Video Games made in the last 5 years more-often than not tend to shit-can when making these desing and feature promises.
>>345250143
it'll get old real quick
>>345250052
Why focus time and resources for a feature that doesn't fit any of the other gameplay decisions you made so far? People are already giving them shit for simultaneously having and not having multiplayer, but really, why? If there's to be base-building there's got to be a point in it, even if it boils down to interior decoration
>>345243403
so many things wrong in 7 lines of code. Try again
>>345222517
so they have like 64 different parameters with 2 possible states?
>>345250052
even if the game did save whatever you did to the planet, there is still no base building in the game whatsoever
your 'base' would be a just be a hole in the ground with nothing else in it
no doors, no chests, no walls roof or windows apart from what you carve in the rocks
the game is gonna be trash don't get any hopes up
>>345249904
>you're supposed to move forward.
Agreed, as that is the case in most games. However, exploration games aren't really about, "moving forward." Maybe in story-driven games you're supposed to move forward in order to advance the plot. But in games like NMS where there is no plot and only exploration, where is the comfy from jumping from one unknown to the next? Off the top of my head I can't even imagine a game where you only explore and have no place to return home to. While it is only my opinion, I think having a home base is a crucial part of an exploration game.
It's easy to say, "it doesn't add anything" just because the company decided to cut it out. It's almost like they intended to, since there is a terraforming weapon. But then decided it was too much work.
>>345250438
Some people don't want to feel like nomads. Or can build a place they can call their own.
I don't care personally. I already decided not to buy this game based on the whole multiplayer debacle
Minecraft has literally an infinite amount of worlds.
NMS is shit.

no
>>345250814
what exactly is keeping you away from the center?
is it just 30 hours of scrolling through the map screen or is there actually something that you have to do in this game?
>>345248860
get to the center while stopping on planets to refuel and dodging space robots, that's the entire game. devs confirmed in interviews that 90% of planets will be barren and the 10% that aren't will be earth-like with shrubs and trees and shit.
>>345250704
Minecraft? You mean StarMade?
>>345250917
>Snake oil the game
no far from it
I genuinely believe the devs are intent on their vision
the no load times and gigantic planet maps are truly revolutionary
It's a very impressive tech demo
>>345250529
consider the fact that colors can be swapped, and the number of parameters continues to plummet
also consider the fact that some parameters will inevitably be things such as "Species X is not on this planet" and it sounds even less appetizing to explore these palette swapped planets

It's literally right there. It's not hard to imagine.
>While it is only my opinion, I think having a home base is a crucial part of an exploration game.
It's good for games like Subnautica but here simply adding bases and nothing else wouldn't make much sense since it'll encourage you to stay in the same space sector
>It's almost like they intended to, since there is a terraforming weapon.
That makes no sense, how can the ability to blow up holes in the ground be in any way indicative of that.

>>345251115
Its a survival game so think like the long dark or dont starve but on multiple planets with multiple biomes. Also devs have recently said itll take hundreds of hours to get their and that most players wont. Honestly I've been following the game since 2013 so I;ve read every intereview and seen every video. Anyone talking about recolors or pallet swaps just doesnt know what their talking about and the devs have shown how the systems work to insure no red fish blue fish garbage. The only hurdle it has to get over that were not sure it will or wont is if there will be planets interesting enough to have players never leave them. Because they haven't shown any game play of the procedural ruins,puzzles, black holes or any of the bigger npc buildings and things. But i guess its an exploration game so they should spoil all of the aspects.
>>345251798
because they're delusional in their perception of the general player base they're attracting
>>345233465
>>345233391
You've complete misread.
They're saying MW3 players exaggerate their performance. Keyword "claim"
REMINDER THAT 99,99% OF ALL PLANETS WILL NEVER BE VISITED.
I've said this before
No Mans Sky's "unlimited planets" will be exactly like Borderlands "unlimited weapons"
ie, after playing for an hour you'll realize that it's the same preset generations just in different combinations.
There's also no multiplayer at launch, so I don't see this game lasting very long.

there's no permadeath and the survival system is bare bones

>>345251798
Sentinels aren't on every planet.
They're not immediatly aggressive, in the recent gameplay video, they only showed up when the player blew up a factory or started killing passive wildlife left and right. They didn't give a crap about mining and blowing up caves entrance, and according to some journalist who played it, they don't execute you for defending yourself against aggressive fauna

It will be exactly like ED's almost unlimited planets. It's all pointless bullshit. People complain that open world games do nothing but space out everything, imagine having thousands of times that open world with even less to do on miniature islands.
It would be great filler content if the game wasn't based entirely around it. I can imagine in the future space RPGs could potentially be created this way. Develop generic instructions that make a couple of different cities or planets, make xx amount of unique locations and then pad the rest with procedural content.

The fact that you think that just goes to show how much of a newfag you are. In the first few threads when the game was only just announced there was plenty of back and forth discussions over it's content. Spouting the same old shit every thread isn't as enlightening as you might think.
So what is this game exactly? An rpg, a walking sim, what is it?
>>345252789
I was saying what survival aspects is it lacking that the long dark or dont starve have? Not just making up things that we dont even know are in the game or not. And the last one is in the game already just because of the size and lack of other player interaction. And npcs can turn on you if you offend them thats been confirmed too.

I'm excited for the new trailers, there's a serie of 4 and we've seen the Explore part, which was just about flying around new planets, hope they show some cool stuff in the Fight-Trade-Survive trailers.
Mainly, I hope the way of protecting yourself from a planet's danger is different depending on what it is, like a cold planet need you to seek shelter, make sense, but maybe a poisonous planet need you to get cover for the acid rains.
Anyway, it's not good to be hyped
>>345253897

I use this crazy thing called google. I typed in No Mans Sky and results for whats in the game came up.
>>345253034

Also NMS and Elite are hardly comparable. One is a realistic space sim with resource management aspects, whereas the other is an arcady fly/walk simulator.
>>345253578
>What the hell are you talking about
You stupid nigger. Making a billion slightly different but ultimately empty different places to visit isn't good content. I literally explained in my post how shitty ED's procedural generation is, especially because the game is based off of it. And you respond with this retarded dumb shit. Are you incapable of reading because I even explained further how procedural generation should be used as filler content, not as the draw.

Of course.
If the random generation of this game is so fucking amazing they should have no problem showing off more planets. Yet it's always the same fucking shit in their trailers.
>walk around really slowly, cinematic-like

Also the pussyfooting around the multiplayer aspect is really pissing me off. Just tell people point blank that you can't meet other players in this game for fucks sake.
>>345254409

>>345254343
Your a fucking retard. No Mans Skys procedural system for creatures and planets is completely different. Elite uses actual data from our real universe hence why everythings a barren wasteland with no life. Its barely procedural honestly theres just infinite fetch and grab quests
>>345254675
>Also the pussyfooting

I do it because when the game was announced at E3 I remember it being hype as fuck. However they failed to deliver with any of their interviews or trailers. Constantly leading on the public to believe they have this great game with all this content and features, yet for some reason can never actually display them. The huge mystery behind this game just leads most to the assumption that it's going to be shit.
Hiding aspects of your product is not a good way to sell something. If I wanted to waste my money on chance I'd go buy some lotto scratchers.
Guys, a friend just told me about this game today and i looked it up.

NASA's yearly budget is around 18 billion dollars.

Are you trying to bait or just being actually mentally handicapped? Literally all of their trailers have the same 2-3 planets. In fact I'm pretty sure the most recent trailer that was released in March used video footage from a trailer that was shown last year. That popular picture with multiple screenshots is probably the most revealing thing they've shown to date. Besides maybe when they showed off their half-assed inventory UI.
Do you fight or build? What's the "goal" of this game? Don't tell me it's a walking/flying simulator

You try pretty hard at denying the obvious, that's not how you have a discussion. Please explain how the planets are all similar to each other. I'll give you that there's a recurrence of hills-like terrains and the grass looks the same everywhere, but then there's colors, rocks formations, animals, plants, environment. Some of thoses looking like earth, some of them clearly weirder. Is this irrelevant to you?

Shill thread. They always use the excuse that it's a shitposting thread without fail. Also the same images over and over again

Or spoil your sense of disappointment to the point of outrage

Terraria is great. Starbound was supposed to be Terraria in space, and it turned out to be shit.
>>345256685
>No response
That's rude
>>345257265
>yeah the other game was shit
>but this one is 3D!
>>345257170
What's it like being a sarcastic douche trying to predict negativity from a product? Do you also shitpost on /tv/ about how the next new movie you haven't seen is going to be shit, too? Or is it just video games your crystal ball can see? Mind giving me the winning lottery numbers?
I want your contact info so when the other videos do come out and you're BTFO, I can quote your sarcastic bullshit and throw it in your face like you deserve.
>>345257657
Right...because that's the only difference and not literally everything else.
>but what about E:D, or X: Rebirth, or Starbound, or [insertoldirreleveantgamewithproceduralgenerationhere] they all have space themes of survival, exploration and space!!!!1111hurrdurdurfherp
Stop.

>he hasn't heard
Andromeda wasn't real.
>>345257659
The game has been in development for what.. 1 1/2 to 2 years now? And the fact we still know nothing about the actual gameplay doesn't turn you away at all?
What's it like being an ignorant, gullible fool so eager to lap up the nearest pile of shit handed to him. Not even bothering to smell it first because he's so confident that the person handing it to him would never dare to do him wrong.
Fucking cunt, end yourself.
>>345257965
>Stop.
Why? Because you're so desperate for this one to be good that you can't stand people making reasonable arguments that disagree with you?
All you need to do is check the other games these Devs have released (all two of them) and then tell me they're the kind of people that can build an amazing game. Not to mention an amazing game with amazing procedural generation even though they have literally no experience in that field.

Life is simply unfair

>we know nothing of the actual game play
Wow. Well I've read every interciew, seen every video interview and trailer, and I gotta tell you, I've seen tons of game play footage and information. You really still think we don't know anything? We know almost everything. Read for once. Or watch, IDC. But if you're really gonna sit there and pretend like we know nothing, you're just a willfully ignorant fuck or a troll.
>>345257991
Because he's totally telling the truth and not lying. Let's not forget the whole Borderlands incident
>>345258108
>reasonable arguments
Where? Wanna link one?
>>345258317
/v/ needs IDs for these shills
>>345258317
>We know almost everything.
Nice bait, you almost had me. 2/10 made me reply twice.
>>345257991
It's also funny because this is not the first time you've posted it

If I'm a shill I need to contact Hello Games and get some cash, cuz I'm doing it for free here.
>>345258595
Yeah, you do. And you also need to be fired, because this is pathetic.
>>345258323
He's either lying then or lying now. Which do you think is more likely? That someone on /v/ wanted to shitpost the same thing every daywhich we already have tons of people doing without pretending to be marketters, "a deal's a deal, anon" for instanceor that an alleged ex-employee suddenly decided 2 and a half years later to lie and cover for the people that fired him years ago in one single post that barely anyone would see?
>>345258434
"All these other things that tried something similar didn't work out, so it's likely that this won't work out either" is a perfectly reasonable argument.
>>345258553
You're right, I saw it and thought it was kind of interesting that a boogieman /v/ still clings to turned out to be a hoax, so I try to share it when I see it get brought up.
>>345258512
Sorry but what about the game play don't we know?
Explore, fight, survive, craft. You spawn somewhere, run around exploring and collecting resources, then you use them to make upgrades for your ship, suit and gun. You can meet or trade with NPCS, fight them, leave the planet eventually and find others, repeat your process. You can get enough upgrades for your shop and fly around being a pirate, blowing up trade vessels and escaping the space police, or fighting them too. There's missions you can get, there's oceans and lands to explore and look at cool, weird shit.
What about the game play is unknown? How the multiplayer lobby controversy actually works? Will it be like the souls series where you just see little messages and whatnot people have left? Will you be able to see people, or just a popup that theres anither player in your general area, if it happens? That's about all we don't know for sure yet.
>>345259101
Show me a video that displays full in-depth explanation of the inventory management and how to craft a new weapon using resources gathered from a planet.
Go on, I'll wait.

No Man's Titanic anyone?
>>345258891
That's not how that argument was presented and you know it. People don't post "oh well, you know, it's possible that this will be bad, based on how many other games have tried similar things, but I hope it's good". That shit doesn't happen on /v/. What happens is "HAHAHA FAGS THIS GAME IS GONNA BE SHIIIIIIIIIIT JUST LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER EXAMPLES, THAT MEANS 100% WITHOUT A DOUBT, FUCK YOUR OPINION, OR POSSIBLITIES, IT'S GONNA BE SHIIIIIIIIT"
Which one do you think gets more replies? More attention? Hmmm..
>>345259017
>>345258553
Also, huh I expected all the posts to be from me but only like 1/4 of them are from me, the 'everything from 2011 was a lie' and 'i'm a shitposter pretending to work for them'
This is a case of a core game, but everything you do depends on yourself.
Sandbox in it's literal sense, your parents just dumped you on it and hope you, and some other parents kid, will get along and play nicely.What is actually going to happen, is you're going to throw sand in that shit's eyes, wreck whatever he built and make cocks on the sand.
