>LOL /v/ ISNT ONE PERSON
It happened on Dude sex HR, DOOM and soon No Man's Sky
Because everything is shit until proven otherwise.
>>345474927
How many countless games did /v/ call being shit, and when they were released they were actually shit?
Most of them.
But /v/ is not one person.
All three are shit games, what's your point?
The people who think Dude Sex & D44m are good haven't even played the first games.
>>345475105
>Most of them.
We're talking about a game that has promising gameplay and a unique mechanic
>m-muh generated planets
Everything is generated, Fetch quests, rehashed enemies with a different color, attacks with an extra swing, places that have an extra window etc. many games do that
what makes NMS different is that they are fucking emulating an exploration game with planets that is almost the size of an actual planet
The full reason why Post-TOR /v/ calls it shit is because its popular, End of storyP.S TOR is a shit example of a failure, Evolve was a better example
>>345475672

Can I ask what actual gameplay is out for this videogame?
I don't want more trailers of people wandering aimlessly in its rainbow environments, I want to actually see the many interactions people claim can be done. So far, it just sounds like overhype bullshit since the substance has not been shown, and alarm bells were ringing from the fact there's not yet been a public demo available
>the game's only just complete!!
So? Early beta demos at E3 etc. are very common; or, at least, they used to be until morons ate the hype alone that they became almost entirely dropped.
Woah 3 games in 5 years /v/ BTFO man....
>>345475965
The game is a fucking exploration simulator, not a shooty dooty game what the hell did you expect?
This is for people who likes space exploration, that's fucking it, if you dont like it go ahead and play something else
>>345474927
this makes me fap fap fap
>>345474927
>Game is released and turns out to be good
when did that happen?
>>345474927
>underage kid wasn't around for Spore and wonders why people on /v/ are so critical of this game.
NU
Is this really the hill you wanna die on?
>>345476092
And yet whilst they claim theres billions of unique planets, they've shown only around 10 and those few all look like very similar colourful forest+mountainous planetoids. If exploration is their biggest selling point, why do the trailers barely show it off? A supercut showing all sorts if combinations with varued terrain would be nice.
>>345474927
>>LOL /v/ ISNT ONE PERSON
You're implying it is? You think No Man's Sky will be shit? Fuck off.
>>345475672
tor is more iconic, no one really cared about evolve to begin with
>>345476351
>why do the trailers barely show it off
Mistakes can be made you know?
DOOM didnt show alot of SP gameplay and released a brokem MP as a beta/demo and look how the game turned out?
>>345476092
than play space engine, you are not forced to gather/trade resources, you can enjoy exploration without limitations, and planets are way better for explorations too
So if I go down on a planet and spend a week building some fortress, then decide to leave the planet...it just gets erased?
>>345476685
>and look how the game turned out?
Incredibly mediocre (yet still serviceable)?
Gee, you sure proved me wrong there.
If everyone starts in a random spot in this universe, how likely is it that you'll run into someone else that's a real person?
Are they doing something to set up major hub points for players?
>>345476782
I wanna know this too before I buy it.
>>345474927
>/v/ calls it shit
But /v/ isn't one person, the threads have been 50/50
>>345476860
i think but it could just an excuse to say there's no multiplayer
still getting the game tho
>>345476927
Yes but the planets are extremely big and moving from one to another will be necessary if you want new terrains and atmosphere
>>345476241
That's such a bizarre expression. Are arguments fatal? If I commit to one stance and defend it, does that somehow mean I can't also hold other beliefs to defend?
>>345476685
no one is talking about doom anymore, game is mediocre at best
>>345476782
It'd have to, if there's truly as many planets as they claim then there's no way those planets would each be able to store any form of progress - the storage that'd take to pull off would be insane, even with heavy file compression. This is part of the reason why I'm extremely skeptical over the hype. That and >>345475965 and >>345476351
All of which are points that can't be refuted as the information on this game to counter it simply does not exist, despite the game being complete and ready to ship - yet people still make these threads daily saying "hurr why all the skepticism?"
Every planet I've seen so far looks pretty rural...are there going to be any planets that have major cities on them...like major cities from other alien species or something
>>345475672
>Everything is generated, Fetch quests, rehashed enemies with a different color, attacks with an extra swing, places that have an extra window etc. many games do that
Because other games have sloppy design, No Man's Sky having a lot of sloppy design is alright?
>>345476239

>>345475672
So basically, it's unique because it has big maps?
>>345474927

This is going to be another Spore. This is another case of "you see that mountain?".
This is Peter Molyneux level of bullshit.
>>345477074

>>345477253
A way to designate a single planet to save all its contents like buildings would solve everything surely
>>345474927
After everyone played the leak of DXHR everyone here expected it to be good, what are you talking about?
>>345477253
no, devs confirmed that theres no save function at all, and they will never add it
>>345477336
>what it promised
it didn't promise much
now if it does what people expect of it...
>>345474927
ALWAYS go for the opposite of the vocal majority on /v/.
>>345475105
Maybe 5% top ?
I really want this game and I want it to be successful but I can't ignore that they've hardly shown any particularly good features so far.
Plus is procedural generation, it doesn't have the best track record of being successful.
Then there's the issue of what to do I'm the game. I'm extremely self motivated so I don't personally need to have any assigned objectives, and I like that. But others may not and feel like it's directionless, and I can't blame them.
Definitely a weird case of either they didn't showcase all of its features and kept vague to genuinely provide novelty, or they aren't saying anything because they legitimately don't have anything to show.
>>345477336
You will get infinite content sure. You remember how Skyrim did infinite quests? Expect the same level of depth and variety.
Reskined npcs and maps. Same items with slightly different stats (like weapons in borderlands)
Random generated content isn't new. What isn't also new is how shitty and terrible this style of game is and what is trying to do.
Enjoy your bland, watered down version of Minecraft with prettier graphics. Maybe the devs will make another shitty, bland game for gullible idiots like yourself.
That's what this industry needs. More overrated, shallow crap.
>>345475672
the people who are hyped for No Man's Sky agreed with this post, the people who think it will be shit didn't.
The content is irrelevant.

Happening currently with VR.
/v/ is fucking retarded.
>>345477487
you think a map as big as earth can easily be save? game has like 6gb, save earth and could be 100gb or more, you want to save another planet? too bad theres not enough free space
>>345474927
I bought it, but there is a good chance it'll be shit overall
at $60 at least
>>345477569
lol, its been said many times there's a save feature. Why do most people that don't like the game just make shit up?
>>345477359
Most of those look like they're from the same planet...
>>345477276
First trailer is more wandering around, but the second one does have me intrigued a bit more with the shootan gameplay ( I could swear it was confirmed a while ago there'd be no shootan but I guess that's false now). Still, I don't understand the actual aim of the game and the role the player has in its universe. It is just space minecraft?
>>345477640
That's the problem with Elite: Dangerous, though.
It never set out to be EVE or Star Citizen, people just expect those features out of a space game. The ED devs just decided to release their original barely-game and add stuff with expansions rather than leave it in production for 5 years while plebbit fucktards demand every feature under the sun be crammed into the game.
No Man's Sky is a singleplayer game, but the number one thing you'll see people shilling for it over is the multiplayer, which it doesn't seem to really have.
It's going to get shit reviews because people expect it to be something the devs weren't attempting to make.
>>345477074
Progress is saved client side, and even then the only progress it saves it what differs from the original copy of what the algorithms generate. Its not a lot of data, and they have already confirmed this to be how the game works.
>>345477862
VR is going the same route 3D technology went. Death. In gaming at least.
Maybe VR will be more successful in amusement parks.
Where do I apply for the shill job?
Deus ex HR was exactly the opposite, though.
Everyone was hyping the shit out of the demo claiming it was better than the original and then the whole game was fucking garbage for the most part.

> I could swear it was confirmed a while ago there'd be no shootan
You must've been mistaken, no one ever said that as far as I know.
You're being disingenuous with Human Revolution, OP.
People here trashed the game, but once the demo leaked, the game was shown a great level of hope and support, that in the end proved unwarranted given how mediocre it turned out to be, I find.
>>345477852
right about what? that its not a COD clone? we heard that already in million your threads, people that likes exploration will take space engine any time for free and not pay for this half retarded cod clone without any cod features
So it got released? What's the word on multiplayer? Is it actually in, is it not, is it hardly able to be called multiplayer or what? The developers were extremely vague and didn't answer anything.

HMDs have a few important uses. 3D content authoring is one of the biggest, because it's much easier to get a feel for your model, and to interact with it. Existing 3D modeling approaches (e.g., Maya) are pretty terrible, and HMDs are a huge improvement.
A more obscure use is direct visualization of point cloud data, for example from LIDAR.

>>345478174
Yes, because VR is a practical technology to use. The only good practical thing about VR is for small stuff like headtracking, something you already have with fucking webcams.
A full VR game isn't practical considering the amount of this you need and space. Not to mention the price.

I want to taste her toejam
I think my biggest gripe with everything I've seen so far (besides the lack of any quests/NPCs) is the fact that all planets shown off so far look more like a single country or continent stretched out as an entire planet - so you'd have a desert planet, then a frozen planet, then a jungle planet, then the rocky mountain reddish planet that seems to crop up all the time. Planets shouldn't always consist of a single climate like that, as it means instead of exploring each planet the average player wouldn't care to since the entire planet is the same climate throughout - you'd instead hop to.the next planet.
Ergo, the planet thing in this game is really a clever disguise for the actual lack of terrain variety.
>>345478323

>>345478984

>>345478721
No, most of /v/ is waiting for the technology to improve and games to release before they give it a go. Which is more reasonable than buying into it now, before it's taken off and before next gen starts within the year.

>>345478536
The terrain generation has more variation than I've seen out of any procedural terrain in games so far. And the different biomes are so you want to see other planets when you get bored of one and travel further to the center where planets and creatures get more weird and dangerous. What's cool about the terrain generation is that it makes it so you actually want to see what's on the planet instead of just oh I've seen a cold planet before this one will be just the same. https://youtu.be/4l1VcqNMfVs
>>345479397
I'm not sure how best to explain this, but there's a few icy planets, and a few jungle-y planets, a few savanna-lookinf g planets, etc.; in that image. Many of them share the same look and could easily be part of the same planet.
I'd edit the pic to match-up the similar planets together as a comparison, but I'm not at a PC right now.
>>345480008
But there planet sized? So just one picture doesn't show all of what's on there. You guys are judging screenshots like its a linear game with jungle levels and ice levels for some reason.
>>345479857
And you think private charities just give up and do nothing when people start donating?
>>345480008
Nah I get your point, but I think what you say would mostly be a problem if thoses planets were too close to each other. It doesn't really matter if three desert planet have a different color scheme/main resource/faction/ecosystem, if you see one after another they'll get old fast. I guess to counteract that it should be possible to mix up the glaaxy so planets which are similar to each other aren't all in the same area.
No Man's Sky color patterns look like shit
Gameplay looks boring af. at least I didn't see anything new or interesting
literally Starbound 3D
"You dock and look around. We don't have time to stay, but this is a highly populated area" (Quote from Colin Campbell on Jun 16, 2015 at 2:44p, Polygon)

No PvP elements or COOP whatsoever.
Elite Dangerous does space piloting and and exploration better.
Dual Universe looks way better than this hyped piece of crap.
>>345480000
I don't think you got my point, I was inferring that they shouldn't have planets dedicated to one biome as a way to pad-out the number of planets in the game, as I don't think it's a good thing that a player has to make a (long) journey to a completely different planet just to see a different climate. I can already imagine that players would have to frequently switch between planets just to get any sort of variety out of it, which seems really daft: why didn't they instead generate a giant planet with all these climates situated in one world? It'd be easier to explore and more interesting thematically. Having each planet a biome of their own is completely arbitrary.
Here's what's going to happen OP.
People are going to say it's shit regardless, the hype and attention assures this. The same thing will happen with FF XV, the new Battlefield, Persona 5 literally any new AAA game will be shitted on by /v/. It doesn't matter how good it is, the vocal minority that already hates the game will continue to hate it post release, and eventually inspire a new wave of posters to hate it aswell. There are threads posted daily about any and every game and why it's shit, what makes you think yours will be spared?
Just play the game and have fun, formulate your own dissapointment or enjoyment.
>>345480538
If every planet was like earth you'd just stay on one planet? And then the creature system would be pointless because you'd never go to others to see different ones in different biomes. And honestly I think it would be better if the planets are all one biome but there's a super rare chance of one being multi biome that would make a lot more sense
>>345480142
Just replace "levels" with "planets".
>>345480294
Maybe I'm wrong anyway and the game will have planets that mix up climate types, I sure hope so as I don't fancy having to regularly fly to a new planet to see new types of terrain. As of now, though, I'm extremely skeptical.
>>345474927
In my defense, Bethesda did a great job in not showing the actual good parts of DOOM, and shoving down our throats all those 'sick glory kills' and that god awful multiplayer up until the game's release, rather than showing a simple, straight to the point, gameplay trailer.
With shit marketing like that, I honestly thought DOOM was going to be a disaster.

Quads speaks truth
>>345480802
But one "level" isn't planet sized? And that's just over simplifying the complex systems in place by saying oh it's just a ice level,which is where the terrain generation comes into to play like I said earlier.
>>345480795
>but there's a super rare chance of one being multi biome that would make a lot more sense
If this was the case I wouldn't even have a problem with this, but theres absolutely no evidence that this can happen. From what I've seen so far there's actually very few climate types and.they don't seem to ever mix together. It's for this reason that I suggested having one large planet with all these climates generated on it naturally (but that would take a little extra effort to avoid a desert aside a tundra so ime guessing that's why they made each climate a separate planet...).
>but look at how many games that /v/ said they'll be shit actually turned out to be shit
If you call everything shit, no fucking wonder something will actually turn out to be shit.
How about you tell me a game /v/ said that it will be good and it actually was good. Let me answer you: 0. Zero. Nada.

How do you know the journey is long?
>It'd be easier to explore and more interesting thematically
That's your opinion but really, one planet is more "interesting thematically" than 10 fucktillion? I think the dev gave the reasoning that it encouraged players to move around more, so they can land on a planet, and once they've explored it a bit they can know what it is.
Honestly it doesn't bother me because the game is already a step away from "generic grey rock" msot space games have instead of planet, but I don't think it can nail multiple biomes per planet in a way that doesn't make more planet looks eventually the same.

Having an entire ice planet instead of your typical ice level doesn't mean shit if it lacks the substance and interactivity to justify that size. So far, all we know exists on any of all these planets are creatures and the odd non-descript settlement. It's like a tech demo.
>>345480802
>Maybe I'm wrong anyway and the game will have planets that mix up climate types
Don't get your hopes up, planet have one main weather type with sometimes another coming up.

>So far, all we know exists on any of all these planets are creatures and the odd non-descript settlement
Please stop trying to attack a game for not having enough substances if you don't know shit about it. It doesn't help your argument if you have to be corrected on subjects you claim to know.
>>345481057
But hey that's where the exploration comes in. Maybe you would be the first to find a planet like that who knows what the system could create it would be very easy for the devs to do so. With so many planets day 1 your not gonna know all that's in the game and a month in there will still be undiscovered biome types and variations. It's easy to just over simply things by saying there's no variation but it's really a game that isn't easy to sum up in a few hours of playtime. What if day one all you see is toxic planets and it's super hard? Or what if all you find are beach planets and the game is super easy? It's a different experience for each player in that regard and that's why I'm hyped for it. Just watching reviews or gameplay won't do it justice since there's no levels that are exactly the same for each player.

>How do you know the journey is long?
Judging by the trailers already out, it's nothing silly-long but it'd add up and seems like unnecessary padding. At least there's stuff in space to attack/dodge, though.
I agree the terrain structurally is sound, but I personally would prefer if at least some of those planets had more than a single biome - I feel there'd be no.point.in exploring them shortly after landing, as you'd also get a strong impression of how the rest of the planet looks. Hence, I can imagine I'd spend time regularly going to new planets to find something new, instead if sticking around on any if them; just seems a little redundant for it to be this way.

Well, there's artifacts to find, monoliths and stargates, and some planets have caves with differents ecosystems and resources than the surface. If there's water there might be some stuff there too. Then depending on whether it's day or night some animals might comes out or the planet "atmosphere" will change, so it's also worth checking out if you want to catalogues a lot of specie to earn cash.
Of course if the planet's a lifeless desert you just take what you need and move on, but some of the life-bearing planets look cool enough that you might want to stick around a bit.
>>345481995
Yeah he still doesn't know what he's talking about. If the terrain is procedral and different than how would two ice planets be identical and you already know what to expect on each one? and don't you think the devs would know if every ice planet looks the same? That's why there's procedural terrain, and that's not even factoring in the different creatures and npcs weapons and blueprints on each one.

This game really does look shitty though isn't it just mine craft but with a ship to fly around in?
>>345481986
battleborn is not a shit game, multiplayer keep it alive, its just that blizzard made a better one in this genre, nu males doesnt have any multi, it will be a flop day one
It's virtually impossible for this game to be "good" enough to live up to the expectations for what it set out to do. It's just too overly ambitious of a concept that is impossible to fulfill with what we have today
>>345482360
Lemme summarize that guy's incoming response
>I-IT DOESN'T COUNT
>>345478536
Actually before the ice age Earth was more or less the same climate.
Seems like a limp argument considering you can go to other planets with other biomes.

>>345482307
So the main motivator to explore each planet is for collectables, rather than to see new regions of that planet? I don't like the sound of that.
>>345482360
I never said the planets look the same, I said there'd be little reason to explore them once you've already seen that planet's terrain type since each planet appears to only consist of one biome tyoe for the entire planet.
>>345482407
>projection
good one nu male, did your friend with the pink hair tell you that one?
This is what I like to see boys. The shills are starting to over power the shitposters. Dont give up the fight anons not everyone fell for the spore meme hard and cant trust anything ambitious anymore.
>>345482621
My argument wasn't that there was no other climates though, it's that always separating climates to be 1 per planet is really redudant and I feel it'd become unnecessarily tedious to find new biomes as a result.
>>345482756
That's not what I said.
What would having differents regions change? According to you, once you landed your ship in a region tehre's no point in staying, what gives you the impression that having four-five differents regions on a planet will fix that problem? You'll just land four-five times and move on.
>>345482756
They would be a motivator for someone like you to explore who thinks that every planet biome is the same. And planets with the same biome type have can different terrain. Jesus just read the posts above.
>>345479109
>>345478721
>/V/ is a single unified body meme.
But those are good points. For me, it seems like the games so far are minigames or demos. When we get a afew games with alot of content then that'll be something.
I think the only VR game that would be a proper game is the Brookhaven Experiment.

>>345483036

Because then you'd have a reason to stay and explore that planet, rather than having to fly to a new one to see those regions. I don't get why this is so hard for you to grasp.
>>345483053
There's no evidence at all that planets have more than one biome, which is what I'm annoyed about as I feel it's really unnecessary to have to visit a different planet to see a different biome.
>>345483557
>I don't get why this is so hard for you to grasp.
it's called being a cucked fanboy
>>345483557
Im talking about the terrain being different on planets with the same biome type. Your either really stupid or shitposting, ill go with shitposting.

>>345483557
What I don't get is, what makes a planet worth exploring if it has five regions instead of one.
If you don't want to stick around for one then why would you for five?
>>345483819
But I'm not.shitposting, I even already acknowledged the terrain itself is very well generated, I was only ticked off by the fact it's 1 biome per planet, as it seems counter-intuitive to me.
I do hope this game is good, I want to be good, especially when the two "major" space games are Elite: Dangerous Bordedom and Scam Citizen.
But I've been ticked one too many times and now it's pretty much shit until proven otherwise.
>>345483557
So essentialy your mad because you have to work to see different biomes instead of them all just being on one planet? And how would that make sense if theres a solar system with 10 planets and they all are like earth with multiple biomes? You just havent thought this through young nigger.
>>345483901
you actually would spend some time EXPLORING this planet, thats the main goal of this game, did you forget?
>>345477474
at this point you can say very little has been promised and some of what the dev said, his own words - are lies
buyer beware
>>345483901
>If you don't want to stick around for one then why would you for five?
To see what other biomes/terrain-types are on the planet?
>>345474927
/v/ isn't one person. Your entire post indicates you really, fundamentally don't get this, despite the fact you're one of the vocal minority of apologists for this game.
>>345484029
But it would get old faster? You wouldnt have to work to see new areas and then by the 3rd planet youd wonder why not just stay on one planet? Defeating the purpose of exploring the universe.
>>345475672

shill it harder and people will begin to believe it's what makes the game good, we'll show those people on /v/
>>345484028
The game is about exploration, yes?
As that's the reason I raised this point, as if the game's about exploring these planets then these planets should have motivators to explore them - a good motivator would be said planets having different climates, even if its just 2 or 3, it'd still give the player a reward for exploring (finding a completely new region of the planet). Instead, you may as well leave shortly after landing and grabbing a few things/seeing the few creatures for that specific biome-planet.
>>345483901
Making more interesting parts of the worlds? I dunno, to make a planet/biome interesting would need many more parts and pieces.
>>345484098
Then try to see if there's caves or how's the life underwater or at night?
>>345484181
it will get boring fast even without this, but it would be more fun for sure
>>345484309
holy fuck im not shilling, i was actually pointing features that are not in the game but would make it better, read whole next time
>>345475105
They call literally every game shit before it's released, and 90% of the time, they're right just by the grace that 90% of games are shit.
If a broken clock is right twice a day, a broken smoke alarm is right almost all the time. Doesn't make it any less of a lemon.
>>345484418
You can do all that in a very short region of a planet.
just fyi
sean is making these threads, well not this one but the one's that read like this tweet
>>345484370
What the fuck are you talking about. The game is about exploration and finding a whole planet with a new biome would be allot bigger or a suprise than just walking around a planet and finding multiple ones. And also, your not factoring that it isnt easy to get from planet to planet as it takes fuel and resources. So your not just teleporting from planet to planet grabbing a few things and then leaving. So when you leave a planet you better be sure youve explored it completely because once you warp away ittl take alot of time just to come back as you'd have to gather resources for the warp again.
That whole argument about biomes is pointless.
Some would prefer if life-bearing planets were more earth-like with deserts, forest and icecaps. That's their opinion and there's nothing wrong with that.
Some would rather keep the planet one-biome only so they can feel like they "compelted" the planet after a while and can now safely remember it as "that ice planet" or "that forest planet".
In the end the discussion is irrelevant because at no point it involve the biomes being interesting or not.
>>345483886
i can see this happening, it actually looks like anti exploring game, all you explore is empty space between planets when you travel
>>345484504
How would you know that the games not even out yet. We have no idea how far away things are spaced on planets
>>345483901
You're not sticking around because there's only one. Walk a mile in every direction from where you've landed and you've probably seen just about everything the planet has to offer. There's little reason to explore further.
People keep saying
>it's a game about EXPLORATION, not at all like your rooty-tooty, point-and-shooty games!
And that's all well and good. But WHY am I exploring, to what end? What is motivating me? Looking at the scenery? That's fun or a little while, but that's not going to keep me busy for hours and hours. We know little about how the systems and mechanics will actually work. How deep is the trading and crafting, what does "exploring" actually entail and what will I be rewarded with beyond the ability to keep exploring? The developers seem to actively avoid showing much of these systems with every demonstration and interview.
>Oh, look, a cave. You can go explore in there, sometimes you need to find shelter.
>But we're not going over there right now.

lol classic response
>>345484736
imagine a proc gen modern art museum where you get to explore 18 quintillion pieces of modern art
>>345484820
We wont know until the game is out. And if planet exploration would get boring to you in a few hours than this isnt the game for you is it? Theres people that play elite all day and theres just about nothing to do on the planets with no life or caves or anything. I think this game will keep its intended buyers entertained
>>345484662
>why do people want it to be a failure
Because a lot of people think it's going to be bad, and it's fun to be right. There's no ulterior motive outside the context of the game here.
>>345484663
Well that's even worse as it'll take a bunch of tedious flying in a barely-populated space to reach the next biome-planet.
>>345477850
DELETE THIS
>>345484871
>you can do all that in a very short region of a planet
Gonna need a source on that one then. And we really wont know till its out because all gameplay we've seen was on unfinished builds where things we're placed close together for demo purposes
> Nu Man's Sky
>>345484703
It's not irrelevant as the latter (planets being 1 biome each) is significantly more tedious as you'd have to refuel and fly to the next planet, instead of continuing to explore the one you're on to find the next biome type.
>>345485040
you're just ignorant and maybe should watch some videos, we've seen footage of the player traveling from one planet to another almost instantly, fly down and land on the planet within mere seconds, and hop right out of the craft
>games not even out yet
is an old and tired argument that doesn't work
you don't need to wait for shit to exit your anus to know that it's shit
>>345485070

>flying in space in a space game is boring and tedious
>>345474927
>>Game is released and turns out to be good
kek it's going to be shit
>>345485168
Planets were put closes together so travelling between them wouldn't take too much time, but I doubt what's on thoses planets changed much.
>>345485318
I thought it was an exploration game about exploring all these "unique" literally one-note planets...
>>345485279
He's using the hyperdrive when he does that retard. The exact thing I was trying to get through your thick skull that isnt easy to purchase or craft.
>>345485249
not really considering the planets are very close together and don't take long to travel to
not like it would matter, the same resources exist on most planets, it's not like you will have to travel to one planet for gold an another one for plutonium
which plutonium itself is absurd since it doesn't exist in nature in an mount useful enough to ever find let alone use as fuel
>>345485168
guess what, theres no source, devs are keeping everything top secret, why are you defending it if you dont know either? if devs didnt say that all regions of a planet are unique then its clear for me they they are not, simple as that. this game really is like buying a bag full of shit, and you cant look inside before paying, no thanks
Sean will either end up a liar like Todd or the savior of PC gaming.
>>345485468
so what nu male's beard is about the journey to crafting your hyperdrive now?

I hope this is supposed to be ironic.
>people are hype for mass effect mako: the game
>>345485486
This just raises further fucking questions over why these are separate planets instead of just a few planets or even just 1 giant world. I mean seriously I ask that you sit and think about this for a moment.
>>345485359
The moons are close to the planet. Thats what you shitposters are thinking are planets which shows how uninformed you are.
Any reason at all to buy NMS if I have Elite: Dangerous? Elite seems to have the exploration of NMS and in addition have some gameplay

>>345485040
Why is every single, perfectly legitimate reason to be skeptical met with
>this isnt the game for you
It isn't a "game" for anyone if there's nothing to the GAMEplay. If there truly is little to do beyond looking at stuff and picking up rocks so you can keep looking at stuff and picking up other rocks then the game is not going to be well-received. It's not a matter of it "not being the game for you" it's a matter of it being a shitty game, period.
>>345485547
I'm not defending I was saying that we all wont know until the game is out. Then you said thats a poor excuse when its perfectly valid seeing as theres hardly much information thats been revealed.
>>345485318
this game is simply for nobody, all arguments are ending with this sentence, this is literally the first game that uses it at all, no other shills will say that their game is not for you, wtf are you doing with your life sean?
>>345474927
The game isn't available to the public yet.
fucking lol at people actually literally really paying $60 DOLLARS for this """"""game""""""
>>345485780
So let me get this straight - It's a game about exploration, yet each planet only has 1 biome type for the entire planet, and every planet shares common resources. The fuck are you exploring for then?
>>345485815
Because the things you said that would get boring to YOU in a few hours I could see myself doing for hundreds simple as that. Stop projecting your opinions onto everyone.
>>345485607
okay here is what you do in NMS since you need spponfeeding
you travel form planet to planet, name animals and planets and discover artifacts, gathering resources and trade with NPC, learn about NPCs, friend them or kill them
gain a grand theft auto style wanted level and avoid or fight the space police until you go to space jail which just like gta means you respawn
you can build your weapon and your suit and customize your ship
you can't build anything on the ground, it's not like minecraft or starbound
once you find enough info from artifacts you proceed to the center of the universe and fulfill the story line which consist mainly of discovering said artifacts
you get to the center of the universe, other payers aren't there because multiplayer was a lie

Obviously not. They'll pretend they love it, point to the sales figures, say /v/ got BTFO, and 95% of them will stop playing it in the first week, never to speak of it again. 2-4 weeks on, someone will show the abysmal traffic levels on Steam, and be told that everyone is playing it on PS4.

It's the same in the real world. People don't go to the Grand Canyon to carve caves in the cliff and mind for ore, they go to use their eyeballs to stare at the sights.

Starbound, Cubeworld, Spore, making most of your game randomly generated is usually a bad idea. Minecraft managed to keep people's attention by allowing you to build with blocks, this game has nothing on that level of interaction. Terraria has a more strict structure to its level generator and RPG elements. Once again normalfags will fall for the hype and say they're never falling for that again, only to fall for marketing hype again.
There'll be a Fight-related trailer probably this week, guess they'll showcase stuff there.
>>345476782
No, it'll still be there. If you shoot a hole in a rock and leave, and another player comes to that planet the hole will still be there
Get ready for dickbutt planets
>>345489450
And that one thing is enough of a dividing line to separate it from simulator to game.
>>345489595
And who is that?

But that's true you fucking retard.
Right now there are people on /v/ who think the game will be bad and people on /v/ who think the game will be good. You just proved it by posting.
>>345489637
That would require every change on every planet to be saved and I doubt anyone got that kind of server.
If you shoot, leave the planet, then comes back, the hole would still be there for you as it's saved locally and people joining your lobby would be able to see it, but I doubt it'll go beyond that
>>345489715
It's literally the bare minimum a videogame can be. Sounds super fun to wander aimlessly in literal one-note single climate planets for hours, gee.

>>345489624
I"m waiting to see if people mod any kind of base building or crafting in. But I don't know if the game even supports modding
>>345489881
That's wrong.
Why do you lie about the game anyway?
>>345474927
I am allowed to critize any game after watching some "gameplay" footage, played by the mastermind. He never pass the controller, like a closed faggot, because if he passes the controller, the real gamer would try to play the game. This would destroy the pr sharade.

There is absolutely no reason to preorder. Collectors editions (How's that CE estus flask treating you?) have never appreciated to significant levels. No, an increase in value of a few hundred dollars is not significant.
A healthy amount of skepticism will save you hundreds every year.
>>345490027
The planets only ever consist of a single climate/biome type.
>>345476782
What I heard before is that minor changes would be erased but some major changes (and who knows what the fuck that means) would be permanent. I don't remember the original source of this information; sorry.

Nah. Sean has said that there's plenty of variation, and there are a few planets that would have multiple biomes.
Yes, most planets will be a single type of biome, like Star Wars where you've got a desert planet or an ice planet, etc. However there will still be terrain and weather variation within the planets.
>>345490257
Yes, and I think it's cooler than anything in this game. But then, I guess this game isn't for me.
>>345490119
K, so? You can try to find and underground cave, or go underwater, or go to the opposite side of the planet to see how it's like at night/during the day.
Plus you conveniently can visit others planets so what's the issue? If a planet bore you, just leave it.

And do what. There's no survival or crafting. If there was base building I would say that would be cool, but you just run down to a planet, collect shit quickly, and leave.

Leaving a planet takes time flying in space until you reach the next one, a tedious exercise that could've been avoided if there was more than one biome per planet.

>>345482384
I'm really not sure what you mean by that. Coordinates (vertexes) are specified in three dimensions, then converted to two-dimensional screen coordinates with the model-view-projection transforms. Maya is a bitch to work with because you're dealing with a 2d projection of your 3d model, and because your input device is also constrained to two dimensions, which means that vertex manipulation is also constrained to two dimensions (i.e., coplanar with the clipping planes).
Obviously an HMD is only capable of two-dimensional rendering as well, since they still contain little screens, but the combination of stereo rendering and head-tracking allows you to do a pretty serviceable 3d reconstruction (or "lift" if you want a more mathy term). And that combines with motion-tracked input devices to let you pretty reasonably interact with 3d models in a way that appears three-dimensional.

HOW THE FUCK ARE SO MANY PEOPLE DEFENDING THIS?
All you do is gather some materials, occasionally fight with basic gun combat, and leave for the next planet type. The planets themselves have no thematic variety, they've either entirely icy or entirely desert. People keep saying there's missions/quests or thar you can make settlements or find NPCs but I've found absolutely nothing backing this up. People are literally projecting their fantasy exploration game onto this, setting themselves up for major disappointment when they try it and realize that, as big as the game physically is, there's nothing to do besides share.the odd unusual planet with friends or /v/.

How about you actually read the posts you quoted? They don't say what you claim they said. Similar, maybe, but not what you'd claimed.
>>345490801
Too bad about the one biome limit but if it's a dealbreaker for you you probably weren't going to get the game regardless. I'd like it if it was done more interestingly than simply sticking two unrelated biomes together but I think that at some point there's choices to make and having 1 biome for each planet encourage exploration more.
In the end your complain about travel time can't be judged until the game's out and people who played it for a while can judge whether or not the travel time between them is too long

By crafting, you mean using materials to craft an item, right? At the end of a gameplay video we saw a dev crafts an hacking device from the stuff he scavenged around to summon a ship to him, I'd say it fits the definition.

>>345491676
You know what might be interesting? Since the planets rotate around the sun, hopefully they don't alm share the same axis or the same sense, so maybe a planet too far away to reach it with your current fuel capacity can progressively comes closer to your location and you have to bid your time until then.

You mean pessimism, right, smartypants?
What.. what if everything feels the same?
Lets be honest, what are you going to do after like 10 hours of play? It won't be "Oh its a new planet" It will just be "Oh... Another ice/fire/jungle planet" there is no real story there is no real quests (only kill that bring me that quests)
When people say it will be empty that is all they mean, it WILL be empty as fuck.
>>345491927
I think since travel is already at the level of solar system to solar system, traveling planet to planet is negligible (at least, after the initial bit where you're not tied to the system).
>>345492115
No, I think that honor goes to facile attempts at pithiness.
>>345492502
Travel through star system seems done by warping. Some guy who played the demo said that if he didn't use any fuel to go from one planet to the other it'll takes hours to reach it, minutes with fuel.
So probably it's a matter of getting a good ship
>>345492475
How many games do you normally expect to be more than 10 hours?
Why do you think, just because it's procedurally generated, that it needs to be a "long" game? What's the logic here?
More importantly, the closer you get to the center, the more the algorithm changes to allow more alien and confusing planets. Everything that has been shown is more or less "Earth-like," but that changes the more you progress.
Furthermore, there will be lots to discover in terms of upgrades and NPCs. Sean Murray says that he hopes a community forms where people go online and figure out together what planets are best for finding certain things on how to deal with some of the mysteries (in terms of crafting, NPCs, progression, etc).
Sad that this game will give proc gen a bad name.
>>345492350
>At the end of a gameplay video we saw a dev crafts an hacking device from the stuff he scavenged around to summon a ship to him
thats totally not what happened, he gathered some resources, he put them in inventory, then he pressed buuton on already existing device to summon a ship, wheres the crafting?
crafting is creating an item and using it
The gameplay looks boring because it's just a glorified space engine. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Stop expecting it to be anything else.
My only gripe with the game is that's it's $60. I want to buy the game, but what's been shown in all the videos I've seen this game is worth $15, maybe $20 at most.
>>345474927
With quintillions of planet the majority of planets will be impossible to conceptualize, beside the ones in the trailers are the ones the devs randomly spawned nearby and none of us will ever see those planets EVER.
To all the guys bitching about how earthlike the life on these planets are you have to realize that if the planet's conditions are exactly like our rock then the life will looks exactly like us thats why you see so many dinosaurs on the planets because the dinos are the most successful land based lifeforms on our planet that didnt rely on intelligence, as for why they are tetrapods well it may have something to do with energy.

>>345493512
I think that's where you're wrong. For example, watching someone play Minecraft is boring. Watching someone mine ores and cobblestone is lame. But to the player, it's fascinating because they're thinking of all the stuff they're going to do, planning ahead, getting excited. That's why some games need to be Played. This is one of them. Of course it might look dull through gameplay videos, because you're not internalizing the progression the player is going through in the universe, trying to figure out what he needs, or discover certain secrets of alien races to warp to the next area.
>>345493480

>>345493376
Oh I do want to play it. I've been arguing with a bunch of people about what the game has. The shooting looks boring, the crafting is nothing new, and the space combat is arcade-ish.
So with the 3 basic fundamental gameplay aspects being either bare-bones or piss poor, that means this game only selling point is the
>"""INFINITE UNIVERSE""""

So yeah, it's a glorified space engine, and I'm fine with that because I don't expect anything else from the game, but it's 60 fucking dollars.

>>345493906

>>345493930
Most people view art to feel an emotion, not for entertainment.
This game is perfect for binomial naming system autist.
What I am interested in are alien wildlife at the early thresholds of human like intelligence meaning they use tools like spears made of whatever the plant like organisms on the planet are or daggers.
>>345493906
Yes, ships do not have the ability to go underwater. However, some anons speculate that some vehicles are being kept hush hush, but I wouldn't expect anything.
>>345493718
No. The past couple of days you have the OP literally responding to every post saying 'WELL I THINK IT WILL BE FUN!' And then he tries to cover it up buy saying he isn't going to buy it at release but will buy it later. And yet there he is, making the same threads and responding to everyone who tries to talk shit.
He is obviously realizing that every time he gets called out, and then you get threads like this.
It's fucking obvious.

>>345477076
Developers have said some planets will have no life and be toxic while others will be rich with resources, buildings, npcs. planets get more crazy and dangerous closer to the center of the galaxy. I guess npc cities are more likely to be found closer to the center.
>>345494247
Most planets in the universe that lack liquid surfaces will have only a single biome except for whatever the fuck is at the poles though so barren planets having one biome makes sense, the biome also depends if the planet has any plant like organisms whatsoever as well since the earth's land would be barren wastelands or deserts without plants even though it has an ocean as well.

>>345493967
I agree with this. But I do understand why they decided not to. I feel like multiplayer would undermine the only conceptual focus of the game, but it also literally gets rid of many players reason for exploring, sharing their experience.
I do like like the fact you can "try" to play with others, although it would be largely impossible. Gives some people a challenge.
>>345477434
I would normally write off a game like this but I do see a thread about once a day on this board with half of the thread literally being questions about the game which tells me /v/ doesn't know shit or can't use google and the other half is just people trolling the game saying it's just minecraft and spore even though Norman's Sky looks twice as good as both of those games combined which is kind of sad if you think about it. Rather play this than cod or whatever you babies play nowadays.
>>345494247
How is a planet being a gas giant unique to sci-fi? You are wrong, by the way. Read Wookiepedia entries for some of the most iconic Star Wars planets (Naboo, for example), they are, for the most part, varied in terrain, "biomes", etc.
This is another retarded facet of their "vision".

If you, not knowing much if anything about Minecraft, went up to someone and asked them to show you what Minecraft is like and what some of the possibilities are in Minecraft, you wouldn't be bored so long as the person knows how to present because you can put yourself in their position and imagine what you might do in their place (unless you're like me and don't like Minecraft, in which case, the demo will probably be boring to you). Watching people play Minecraft is boring (though Twitch may disagree with us on this point) because you could be playing it instead.

Correct answer/close thread
The fact /v/ gets so butthurt about this game just makes me want to buy it more.

>>345494642
But /v/ is one person and it is shit
>>345494464
Why did they add the planet naming system if
1. You're not going to meet anybody in their "multiplayer"
2. There's billions of procedural planets so no one will find it
3. Resources are taken so if you do go there it's going to be empty
4. You won't keep track of the planets you explored because exploring planets is better than exploring the same biome and they all have the same resources.
They should of just did a 3D Starbound with better multiplayer.

Works both ways, shill. Though I'm still not sure what point you were trying to prove.

I think part of the beauty of the game is that you can't share the experience. You are alone and it is for yours to enjoy. You will see things that literally no one else will ever see. That's the beauty and sadness of human life, translated into a video game.

I don't give a fuck about the game, I'm not going to buy it. I just come here to call out the obvious shills. This shit is almost as bad as the early oculus threads.
The reason why there seems to be plants on any planet with water is because eventually something spawned from the water is gonna learn how to utilize the star's energy and apparently plants are best shapes to do so.
>>345477707
Feature wise they talk mostly about pirating, trading, mining and exploring. At first they said no npcs, no multiplayer. Now theres NPCS and Murray said they'd include a traditional multiplayer experience for people who want that kind of game. Probably end up being an EVE light online and Terraria or Spore offline.
I agree that they haven't explained too much about the game. But the mission structure seems to up to you. If you meet and alien npc and he assigns you some task you'll have a mission but not everyone playing will have the same experience or do the same quests.
>>345475672

True, the devs also linked to this article www.designntrend.com/articles/80633/20160713/no-mans-sky-ps4-pc-games-release-failure.htm
Which I suspect they had written on their behalf.
>OMG why can't i show my friend on facebook this cool planet i visitied
>game is dumb if i can't have social experience with it
>i need to show this girl that i craft space alien in my ageneda haha
Fuck off. This game isn't for you. It's for us sci-fi nerds who want to explore the world. Alone.
>>345477779
Skyrim and Minecraft are super ugly and boring. Even if this game is boring it sure isn't ugly. Also this game is the exact opposite of shallow crap. If it was another FPS, JRPG or Fighter I'd agree with you but it's trying to do something different which while that might blow up in their faces, can't fault them for trying.
>>345487287
This. It was Starbound's biggest failure, it'll be this game's too.
Come to think of it this game is 3D Starbound in a lot of ways
>>345494464
>give some people a challenge
Well, there are essentially two kinds of challenge out there. There is challenge akin to laying a perfectly even brick wall, and then there's the challenge akin to then attempting to break through it with your forehead. I'll let you reflect on which kind of challenge attempting to play with people in this game is going to be.
SAGE
SAGE goes in every field
>>345494790
1.It's not impossible, I guess if you meet someone it's supposed to be like "Woah, was that a real person?"
2. Same as number 1.
3.The planets are too huge for that. Plus only large change is recorded. Most stuff will respawn.
4.That's why your map records it for you. Plus some planets might be rich in certain materials, so it might be good to take down a mental note so you can return. I think the developers stated that the closer you get to the center of the universe, materials are harder to come by.
>>345495113
>Also this game is the exact opposite of shallow crap
How the fuck did you come to that conclusion when it has even less to do than minecraft?
THE GAME IS NOT EVEN OUT
LET ME SAY IT AGAIN. ITS NOT OUT, HOW COULD ANYONE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME, BAD OR GOOD.
I REPEAT, THE GAME IS NOT OUT AND NONE OF YOU AUTISTS HAVE PLAYED IT
>>345487287
>>>345475672
>theres no fucking reason to explore entire planet at all
Yes to discover all the wildlife on it, it should be really fun for me.
>>345494642
Neither of those games are massive or particularly ambitious, though they're both very well-crafted.
>>345478026
Murray said they'd include a traditional multiplayer experience in the game but it's not the main focus. I think he's been pressured into it by responses from the Fans. I think the faction war/baby Eve stuff will be there but most people will play casually and fuck around offline and never get into that part of the game at all. They already finished their first patch for the game and confirmed they are giving PC some tools for modding so they don't break the game. They are trying to give us what we want so props for that. Still might be dead on arrival but whatever.
>>345495240
It's deep because it's not ugly, duh. :^)

We've seen the trailers and "gameplay" footage though, which is what's being judged

The devs should go to prison for this.
>>345495364
>falling for bait
Pfthaha
>>345495250
Right, but I can take away an abstract if I know enough about it.
>>345495250
There are things called expectations, you autist. People judge things based on whatever information they have on it. The game itself might not be in peoples hands, but it is perfectly reasonable to compare what is out to previous experiences, similar games, thereby forming an opinion.
For example, had spore not crushed my ability to have faith in developers, I might have been excited for this game.
>>345476782
You can't build anything Anon.
>>345478328
Do game reviews matter that much? I always wondered if sites like IGN or Gamespot actually affect the industry at all. I hate game journalism, it seems stupid. I just want a list of features and game play trailers that is usually enough for me to tell if a game is garbage or not.
I'm legit curious what /v/ thinks about reviews. I think No Man's Sky will do well critically but it's an indie game so I don't think it'll do well financially mostly because normies don't know what the fuck it is and it isn't COD or Mortal Kombat.
>>345495039
Wtf? Then what do you do in multiplayer?
You can't explore other people's planets let alone meet them or trade, any even if do manage to be in someone's planet with them you can't even do shit together, you're probably not going to see them even being in the same spot.
I already pre-ordered the game and I will enjoy it from day one and there is nothing you can do to stop me.
>>345495210
But the dev said if every meets up at the same spot you wouldn't even see each other?
shite multiplayer, they should just make it offline if nothing is going to happen
>>345495250
>guyshittingonplate.jpg
>>345495539
>I don't think it'll do well financially mostly because normies don't know what the fuck it is and it isn't COD or Mortal Kombat.
You do realize Minecraft happened 6 years ago? This argument is severely dated.
That being said I personally hope the game flops.
>>345495325
>tools for modding
Heavily limited and restricted, you forgot to add that part (because God forbid someone wanted to change anything in his precious darling of a game). Seans's delusional if he's really convinced that people won't datamine this game to oblivion in the first few hours/days.
>>345495657
probably theres no multiplayer at all, devs are lying
>you can meet other people
>but you wont be able to tell if its a real player or bot
yeah at this point im almost sure theres no multiplayer
>>345480142
Each planet is about 75 square miles which isn't really too big. About three times bigger than Skyrim = 1 planet. And there are a fuck load of planets in No Man's Sky. I think some will be abit smaller or abit bigger. I doubt they'll do super Earths but you never know.
>>345495097
>reason 5: indie haters
Wow what a complete shill article. As if indie developers have had a spotless record that "haters" just don't want to admit to. Being hated is not an excuse for failure after failure on kikestarter and indiegobroke. Not to mention the shovelware many of them make that isn't worth $5. They make low hanging fruit or try to play up their garbage as actually well developed but disappoint thousands. There's good and bad indie developers to say some don't deserve ridicule because its not hugbox enough then they should just stop making games.
Chucklefuck is a prime example of a company that cant take blame, sees it as a threat, censors and belittles outrage and sensible critique alike while taking peoples money with total abandon.
>>345488284
The FOV kills my eyes.
>>345475037
Fucking this. I'd rather take the majority of /v/ being hypercritical about everything and needing to be proven wrong before shelling out $60 than just assuming everything will be hunky-dory and give lazy devs money. The three examples OP listed (not counting Nu-Male Sky because it isn't out yet) are exceptions and far from what usually happens.
>>345495791
What if I make more threads about NMS making false claims about it to cause shitposting?
Best part of my week. Baiting /v/ is more fun than TOR posting.
>>345480342
PVP and COOP are there, Murray said he'd include traditional multiplayer but it's something you unlock and isn't the main focus. I think he wants people to explore and not make it EVE but he has said he will conform to what the player base wants. So it's likely if people want more faction stuff or game mode stuff then they'd add it later. He also mentioned giving us some modding abilities. Not so much to create flora or fauna but build structures and shit like that.
No Man's Sky color choices are what make it appealing. It's not the dreary post apocalyptic crap that everything is nowadays.
>>345488284
He mentions "explore" and "find" as those "fun" elements and the game's focus. Does he not know that we live in the era of datamining, wikias, dedicated groups of people?
>>345495902
in the end noone will ever meet anybody, and their excuse will be
>universe is just too big, you just had bad luck
>>345495902
>game has so much unnecessary data that you have to connect to a server just to play it
>devs can't think of a reason to justify this so they pretend it's a multiplayer game
Why is this allowed?
>>345495801
He said you wouldn't see everyone. That is also why they don't even say it's multiplayer. Just has multiplayer features, it's not the main focus of the game.
Also there is a offline mode for anybody who hates the idea that they might see another person or even a sign that anybody else is playing.
>>345480947
I could see this.
/v/ acts like they hate every game before it comes out. Then I check out the threads a few months later and everything /v/ hates has a sticky. /v/ is full shill/normie board. Sorry guys but video games aren't niche or fucking weird anymore. Little girls and old people play haha
You are a fine example of an underrated poster.
>no co-op
>in a fucking sandbox space sim

>>345495916
Who gives a fuck you mongoloid. I don't care if a game is 200 miles wide or an actual simulation of Earth's precise size that you can walk along until you get bored staring at the same fucking mountains and valleys and rivers, etc, etc.
Its only 6 gigs. No agorithm on the planet can extrapolate 6 gigs into enough constructed, useful data to populate a planet of that size. And if it could, they would be billionaires 100%. They essentially laid the groundwork for a new field in machine learning.
>>345495539
>normies don't know what it is
Wrong. This is possibly the most hyped game in a long time I've had friends who wouldn't be able to name a single game that came out earlier this year asking me if I've heard about NMS.
>do game reviews matter that much
It's hard to say. It's my sincere wish that every gamer is jaded enough at this point to realize that any game with a large enough level of buzz isn't getting less than an 8/10 from the big review sites and that they don't affect their perception of the game or their purchasing decisions, but I really doubt this is true.
>>345496179
>PVP and COOP are there
>So you are saying that if my friend travels to the same place I am at, we could play together for a while?
>No, that's not what really the game is about

>>345483173
I take it this is a typical /v/ user.
Hurr durr my game choices are so patrician.
Plays OverWatch, Dark Souls and Destiny like a normie.
>>345496268
not even that, you can play it totally offline, only multiplayer feature that requires network is naming animals, nothing else, dunno why would they pay expensive server just for that
>>345479109
>No, most of /v/ is waiting for the technology to improve
The tech is already good enought.
The problem is the price.
Those HMD you are thinking about are shitty because they are trying to get a price that normal people would be able to buy
>>345496525
Because they can claim it has multiplayer
>Look, you see that named planet? It was named by a player! That means you're playing in the same universe!
>So can I meet up with that player?
>Well, the universe is so giant, it's almost impossible! ;)
>>345483886
75 square mile planets man. Not big but twice as big as Skyrim and barren planets have mining and super deadly creatures you can murder as feats. Some planets are rich with resources and npcs and are more earth like. You can bash the game all you like but atleast get your facts straight.
Day 1 pirate,
>>345496562
The tech is good enough, but it also has no gaems to grab the core gaming audience yet. It remains to be seen whether it will, or whether it's going to be an overpriced Kinect.
>>345496525
How does playing it offline work? I though the whole point was that every player is supposed to inhabit the same universe. That's not true if it's generated client-side, is it?
>>345496562
>The tech is already good enough
I don't really agree, the VR itself works fine but controls for VR games are extremely clunky currently.
>>345484016
Between this and Star Trek Online I'll be fine for space shit. Can't get into Elite or Star Shitizen.
>>345476782
You say that as if you can build a fortress
HR was underwhelming as hell.
>>345496724
The universe isn't randomly generated. It has already been made.
>>345484703
I agree with you the biome complaint is stupid and nitpicky. Any good sci fi space opera shit has distinct planets ie Mars is a desert planet, Hoth is an ice planet, Saturn is a gas giant etc whatever
>>345496724
only seed is stored on server, everything else is stored/generated locally, if you have no network, seed is randomly generated, thats all
>>345496667
People are forgetting Skyrim was pretty empty. Most of the shit there was wasn't very impressive. A random cave, a shitty sub-village with one or two questions, a little alcove with bones and animals in them the game was in short supply of interesting things explore. That's when there was anything at all, mostly you're walking 2 miles to get to a point of interest.
So apparently walking 10 miles instead makes the game better? Fuck off, you're implying any of that terrain would be adequately detailed enough to matter if it had deadly randgen bullshit or not.
>hear about no man sky buut know almost nothing about it
>see this thread and decide to read it
>see the game will be to consoles too
>dropped
Would be an instant buy if I could build bases.
>>345496724
Seeded content will always generate the same thing regardless of where the content is generated. I'm guessing a planet's seed is based on its coordinate, but that's just speculation.
>>345484820
Sounds like you want to play the game but didn't bother to go on google or watch any of the interviews.
Um your exploring to get to the center, gain resources via pirating, mining or trading. There are factions to joins. There is a normal multiplayer mode but Shawn Murray doesn't want us to focus on that part, realistically thats what will keep people playing. You can learn alien languages and form alliances with certain species to get a better position in the galaxy. If you fuck around too hard the space cops will murder you so you need protection, technology or allies to do what you want or you will be stopped.
Why play the game? To have fun?
>>345496745
>controls for VR games are extremely clunky currently.
the ones they try to get a good price, yes, the others no
>>345485279
No loading screens, seamless flight, game without borders or stupid limits like being in a lobby or having a predefined map or some awful story to follow along in a campaign mode. Honestly this game is doing the opposite of what normies like which turns me on. Though it could easily be the death of the game upon arrival hah
>>345497191
>the others no
Such as?
>>345496901
The seeds aren't even stored on server. The only information stored on server is the names. Seeds will have to be client side otherwise you won't be able to play this game offline, and I haven't seen anything about requiring an online connection 24/7.
>>345497273
>Opposite of what normies like
>Normies are all excited for this game (sorta)
So are you turned off now?
>>345485576
I think so. Seems more unique than most games which makes it very special snowflake too. It's kind of an anti-mmo as well that doesn't encourage you to play with friends, chat or sit in some lobby. Perfect antisocial game.
>>345488284
>literally a walking simulator
>IN SPACE
Thanks for convincing me not to buy this.
>>345497072
This is a 100% PC game.. If the devs had any fucking clue they know the goys who would buy this Starbound clone would support mods. That's free labor and bethesda knows it. Even Starbound got free labor from the community with its numerous mods when the devs refused to update it and instead engage in drama and shitthrowing.
>>345485793
They said they might add ground vehicles later on if the multiplayer part of the game has a big user base.
>>345496724
>How does playing it offline work?
The universe was not hand made but made by a generator.
Everyone will get the same universe.
Imagine Dwarf Fortress developer shipped the game with a 257x257 world at the year 10000 and didnt allowed players to gen their own world. Its the same thing.
You can make world generators more "realistic", detailed or whateaver with the bad side being you will need more time to gen worlds.
This extra time means nothing if you will just gen the world once and ship the game with it.
I heard that ultra realistic tectonics simulators takes an extreme amount of time to gen stuff as some example
>>345486072
Except you forgot the part where the center is where you unlock the traditional multiplayer experience. Some players will just stop because they beat the main game others will keep playing because they want a console Eve-lite game with the factions and such.
>>345497653
>The center is where you unlock the traditional multiplayer experience
Was there some interview or trailer today that released new information? Or are you shills getting so desperate that you're literally making stuff up as you go along?
>>345488607
Grand Canyon is shit it's just a fucking hole.
Space Dinosaurs are automatically way better.
>>345497653
The center is actually where you get 42 copies of a mildly useful late game item and nothing else.
>>345488958
Murray said some space stations will resemble the Death Star and the Borg Cube. Trek and Star Wars in the same universe. I wonder if theres an Earth easter egg.
>>345488284
>die
>respawn freely with no consequences
>>345497653
Why are you pulling this out of your ass?
>>345491258
Because it's not the same old game. Literally is the opposite of COD, normie MMOs and traditional story based RPGs. Could still bomb but because it's different people have an interest in the game. Is that really so hard to understand?
>>345481908
What are you talking about the game isn't even out
>>345497847
I dunno. I'd like a big hole to fly through.
>>345491920
Except technically your just running and jumping and at the end of the day playing a fucking Nintendo game which has been a total shit company that hasn't been relevant from N64 to last week when Pokemonyaknowwhatever came out.
>>345497368
>The only information stored on server is the names.
thats still a lot of info, considering single entry is 64bit ID + ~5 (could be 10 or 15 but 5 for calculations) letters name, thats 13 * (64^2) = dunno ms calc cant calculate such number
>>345492475
Lets be honest why would you play any game for more than 10 hours? Games are pretty much shit. Or are you new to /v/ ?
>>345498204
There's still constant threads for this game, what's your point
>>345497552
Yeah except DF's procgen worlds didn't add anything to the game. I never gave a single fuck what the lore was for an embark, I just cared how thegamewould change depending on my embark. I just went to it because I either wanted to fight werewolves early or I wanted a river but no aquifers.
This game doesn't have the mechanics or depth of DF and it never will. And even if it did, DF is FREE and I can run it on a fucking Amigo.
>>345498390
>That's a lot of info
Well if we're going by their bullshit quintillion marketing, sort of. Players realistically won't visit every planet and name every animal. So they only need to store information for what players find.
>>345493221
more like NO PLEBS BUY
>>345498390
Not names as in the randomly generated names, names as in what other players name things. You only need to generate entries for planets which have been explored by a player.
>>345498548
>Players realistically won't visit every planet and name every animal
And they probably wont find incentive to. Once the realization that this is the SAME SHIT over and over sets in, then its over. Go play Starbound to get a real taste of NMS and tell me it'll be fine.
>>345493967
That's the thing. They do have multiplayer for the normies but it sounds like something that has to be unlocked and isn't the focus of the game. I suspect most people will play offline and never join a faction or get into those elements. But Murray has confirmed he will have the traditional experience in the game though he himself seems like he fought against it's inclusion all together.
>>345498374
>Anon gets shat on
B-BUT YOU'RE JUST PLAYING A NINTENDO GAME
>>345498735
>They do have multiplayer for the normies
Oh god, this desperation. I almost pity you.
>>345498735
Source or it didn't happen.
>>345494432
This isn't a reality simulator it's a sci fi game.
Maybe your nitpicking or asking for a feature that wouldn't enhance game play in anyway. You should be worried about what there is to do in the game not the look or the planets. Thats the one thing they clearly did right.
>>345498735
>will have the traditional experience in the game
what experience? minecraft? dark souls? dont fools yourself, there will be nothing like that, multiplayer exists only for marketing
>>345474927
DOOM isn't good. D:HR is the only exception and the exception proves the rule. The fact then you can only think of one games shows that /v/ is usually pretty good at spotting a shit game. Note that game being shit doesn't necessarily have anything to do with its sales or critical acclaim.

Why is repeating assets a problem. People literally play games over and over again even though it has a limited number of assets. All games do this, this isn't exclusive to NMS.
>>345499007
But HR was shit
>>345495865
Never played Mincraft only person I know IRL that plays it was a massive tool so I can't say I know too much about what's popular with gamers. I know everyone I meet likes Super Smash and Battlefield so I take it if a game isn't like that then it bombs haha
