Yeah, actually. It's called "being excited for a game".

me. I think it's gonna be fun in a way spintires is fun.

Still gonna wait for reviews and discount for purchase or beg one of the devs for a free game

nope. Might see if kat has copies though

Will depend alot of how good are the spacefights.
I don't care about the exploring part.

It's DRM free but you need it linked to an account.

There is an "offline" mode, if that is your concern.
The online part is to upload what you discovered.

You can't get units/credits for your discoveries while offline from the looks of it.

It doesn't matter if it's """""good""""" what matters is if I enjoy it, which I will.

Its going to be like minecraft.. which is very popular soooooooo

no but it's going to inspire a really good game down the line

This game will be a disappointment

This game has earned 0% of the hype it has

Why not, it just rewards you from uploading them, not based on who use theses infos.

Yep
Children and adults with autism

I think people have forgotten that it's an indie game not a AAA game. A lot of people will be disappointed after all the hype.

so all of Sup Forums?

so like a video game?

>This game has earned 0% of the hype it has
Let's take a look
>game is announced
>people go apeshit
>the hype can't be contained
>time passes
>people start realizing that the open endedness of boring exploration will only keep a magical feeling for 6 or 7 planets
>millions to go
>more time passes
>hype dwindles to nothing

>implying this game has more than 0% hype

I read the blog of a 40 year old autistic programmer who's been obsessed with procedural generation for 20 years, even going so far as to make his own procedurally generated games and doodads.

His single most favorite thing to do in a game is to wander aimlessly in enormous landscapes and as far as he is concerned, NMS is the second coming.

>a video game thinks this is going to be good
wut?

...

I don't believe it will live up to the hype but it will be a decent game.

I wonder how all those faggots from the FUN camp in the Spore dev team feel about everyone hating everything they did to the game?

>open world
>survival
I hate this meme

Not for more than a few hours I think.

I can see it being kinda cool for those hours though.
For it to last I think it would've needed multiplayer. If I had never played Ark or Minecraft I think I could enjoy a few hours of them singleplayer, but it's really the multiplayer that makes those games.

I'm expecting it to suck, but maybe the dogfighting has some too it, but I'm doubtful since they have auto landing.

>game is only 6 gigs
>will take 8 million years to explore

something isn't adding up here

Procedural Generation, bruh.
It's just generic assets arranged by algorithm.

Look at this shit, this game is only 96KB:
youtube.com/watch?v=2NBG-sKFaB0

>what is procedural generation

I could make a 10kB program that generates a bunch of random strings that will take 300 bazillion years to read through

would it kill them to throw in a few more KB for some decent sound?

oh look the new shitposting bait to surpass tumblrtail!

It probably would. Even a heavily compressed low-quality audio clip can take up hundreds of kilobits per second

The entire point of the project was to minimize filesize.
The sound is generated as it's played, it's not a file in the game folders.

>6 gigs
>Half of that is music
>Only 3 fucking gigs is models/assets
Confirmed for 10 planets over and over and over

Spore 2.0. It doesn't matter how big the universe is if there's nothing uniquely meaningful to do at each place.

Spout more shit out your ass user.

>samefag shitter that makes like 5 threads an hour about this game
>literally phishing for replies
>he has 2 threads up on front page every hour
>mods dont ban him

I'am already fapping to this game.

Your right it's probably more than half that is music

what the fuck is this game
people hust talk about how big it is and we will be disappointed
what fucking genre is this

>
I say any game that can mimic Terraria's hallow/corruption with a dynamic or emergent world will be the next best game.

No Man's Goy won't be that as its too focused on shitty promises that Peter Molyneux and Maxis AND Chucklefuck failed miserably on. People are overexposed to Minecraft shit and the autism wont be sated if you cant literally build shit with blocks. So unless the exploration is ACTUALLY FRESH its going to flop pretty bad.

>its too focused on shitty promises
Name a few of them.

Unlimited exploration, any planet is at least remotely interesting? Implying numbers = quality?

It's a space exploration game where you fly around to different planets, have sex with the local fauna and then get chased to the ends of the universe by space police for violating galactic bestiality laws.

If only this were true.

Thoses are fakes promises that you made up just now, I'm going to ask for sauce so you can change the subject

>Game

Lol, you're gonna be disappointed.

So you're saying the developers have implied nothing at all? Their PR is perfectly poised? Fuck off.

>He doesn't post the source

Wow, it was easy

Sounds like Sean Murray himself. He's not idea guy material, and the game really leans dangerously toward being just a programmer's tech demo. Impressive, but not necessarily fun. I wish the procedural elements would focus on things like interactivity and dynamic AI, rather than terrain generation and superficial alien physiology.

How do I know you wont reject anything I post with some arbitrary contrarian faggotry?

>Unlimited exploration

So like space engine, but with Pokemon Go mechanics? Sure sounds fun dude.

Neither are games. Sounds fun dude.

My expectations will be fulfilled as long as finding new shit is fun for at least a while.
I'm more looking forward to this as a big fancy tech demo than as an actual game.

What a coincidence, neither is No Man's Sky.

Hopefully it has a cool Star Trek vibe. I just wanna go were no one has gone before.

Yeah I like the idea of being isolated from everyone in space and it seems like a good chill game to play.
I also love the artstyle.

I'm not the one lying on a vidya imageboard because I'm bored

Did they find a purpose to this game?

People need to stop hyping this game and just see how good it is when it comes out

So just dont expect to much from it and you won't be disappointed

no-mans-sky.com/about/
Fucking abject retard.

What part of that do you want me to read? Something like?

>Every planet’s landscape is different from the next, and populated by species never before encountered.

That's not empties promises, that's just how procedural generation work.

No

Space engine weights only 1gb.
Thats the magic of procedual.

Any implication that the features are actually as they're presenting it. No technicalities, you fucking shill, subjective assertions that actually translate to gameplay standards. I see you're a fucking contrarian like I suspected, and not even blatant marketing to sell a game would convince you. So go ahead, buy your shit game. It wont hold up.

I have no idea what you're trying to say, sorry.

You said the game was too focused on shitty promsies, I asked you to name a few, you gave me some, I told you you were lying and to prove it, I asked you to give me the source of where you heard thoses claims. Then for some reason you got defensive and just posted the front page of their website, and I'm having trouble finding relations between the supposed "promises" you posted and what I find on the page.

I do agree that their front page is lying though, as they claim that danger is everywhere, for example, and we've seen some pretty peacefuls planets or planets without animals, but they don't tie into what you said before.

Anyway, chill out, calling someone a shill because he disagrees with you isn't making you look better in this discussion.

>I have no idea what you're trying to say, sorry.
>go on to make a post
You're a fucking unconscious retard. How do you even hope to have a conversation with humans when you have "no idea" what I'm even remotely saying?

Did you want me to dumb it down or something? The game makes promises for marketing purposes, clearly, yet you deny it has any relation. I say it cant hold those promises. The default position here is not "its probably good", fucker.

Alright so, let's look at this objectively.

>Sup Forums hates No Man's Sky
>Sup Forums thinks the game will be bad and not fun
>Sup Forums is always wrong, and opinions suck.

Dont worry, this game is BOUND to be good.

Starbound 3D: The Gaym.

Pretty much. The vg industry is trying desperately to make these super sandbox games. The problem is their design philosophy is completely off.


>What is the right philosophy?
That would make you very rich to know

Is there anything entertaining to do in this game?
At least, I can fight monsters, mine and build stuff in minecraft.

>I say it cant hold those promises
But what promises? That's literally all I'm asking. Name and source me a promise that the devs made, that's all.

>Making promises
Please tell us these promises they lied about.

Tell me this, why would anyone buy this game?

You can fight pirates, or join in on their raid against fleets with potentially with a potential big reward for doing either, you can mine and trade stuff and buy ships, or you can just go out and explore for all eternity.

Personal spaceship/basebuilding will probably come later if the game will be remotely successfull.

And I love how the heavy-hitter of an argument (in their opinion) is "you probably lack the imagination to play our game". This is, imho, emblematic of a deeper problem with contemporary approach to not only video games, but entertainment as a whole. The whole "unique snowflake" attitude has gone so bad that any attempt at producing a narrative with an actual structure and intended meaning is seen as not inclusive enough. This is not what the "death of the author" means, for fucks sake.

Why do people buy anything?

Just quote the part you're angry about, I asked you earlier and you avoided the question.

They said the same thing about Starbound, which at this point could be "Modern Civilization: The Game", or "Produce to consume, consume to produce", if you want to go all Heidegger about it. There is no point in exploring the galaxy other than to be able to explore the galaxy more. And there are not many things to do in said galaxy, mind you.

Exploration, I HEAVILY doubt its good.

>that any attempt at producing a narrative with an actual structure and intended meaning is seen as not inclusive enough
Yeah, let's just ignore that the Witcher 3 got a ton of awards last year and was critically acclaimed for his narrative.

LOL xD WHY DO PEOPLE BUY STUFF THAT LOOKS INTERESTING? LOL WHAT FUCKING RETARDS

>Oh no exploration it's must be the devils work.

Woah, someone got triggered.

>Explore uncharted solar systems and catalogue unique new forms of life. Every planet’s landscape is different from the next, and populated by species never before encountered.
>Find ancient artefacts that could reveal the secrets behind the universe.
>Choose whether to share your discoveries with other players. They’re exploring the same vast universe in parallel; perhaps you’ll make your mark on their worlds as well as your own.

The only lie I see here is that they confirmed some planets wouldn't support life.

But then, what makes exploration good? Besides the usual "procedural generation is literally Hitler" shit?

What the fuck is wrong with you? Can you not handle a conversation or something? I have real doubts about this game being good and your only response is >lol overreacting.

Are you having a stroke or something?

It's a sandbox game with a fuckload of character customization and edgy, GoT'esque plot elements, go figure.

>You can fight pirates, or join in on their raid against fleets with potentially with a potential big reward for doing either, you can mine and trade stuff and buy ships
Be animals or pirates, the last time I checked, the AI was... well... 10yo level.
With this scale, it'd be dysfunctional if pirates have all tiny bases/ships, or if anything big as fuck exist.

>its good it just has a couple problems
Shill

>He says the devs have made promises they can't keep
>He gets defensive when people ask him to back up his claim
>As soon as someone will bother proving him wrong he'll move the goalpost and pretend he knows what he's talking about

>Be animals or pirates, the last time I checked, the AI was... well... 10yo level.
How can you tell.

I like having fun with autists like you that label something bad for arbitrary reasons.

>no man's sky
>interesting

Why does this game trigger Sup Forums so much?

How many letters does the alphabet has? How many words exist?
That's basically how this game works.

Btw i'm unironically excited for NMS. It's going to be cool to explore the universe and customize your ship and guns

Everything triggers Sup Forums.
Also I want to fuck that bunny.

They have to dislike it or else it wont turn out good, you know how it is.

Pretty much. The problem with procedural is the amount of bugs that come with it. Some of the best games have hard-coded structure to them because the less variables a scenario has the easier it is to debug. If you start introducing randomized inputs you have to dumb down interaction considerably to make the randomized environment stable.

From a coding perspective, you have to make scenarios for a given input be predictable or else you cannot fix or improve it.

How about you tell me one thing that doesn't trigger Sup Forums instead.

Minecraft is popular cause you can be creative and shit. This game you just look at shit.
