No Man's Sky

Topic shouldn't be in the simulator category though. Game will be a mix of arcade simulator, first-person shooter, minecraft, action, adventure.

Topic should be locked so you can't keep spamming it with PR bullshit.

An FPS is a shooting simulator

Nah, it's fun.
He's obviously interested in the game, I'm interested on having fun.
WHY YOU HATE FUN!?

 

[balmorar]

So Elite Dangerous is the same as Doom then?

This is basically the dream game for people who likes sci-fi in general, not for space simulator fans. You won't get your proper "press 67 keys just to start the engines" fun.

Being alike is not equal to same as. This is more like the difference between Doom 3 and FEAR.

 

[Zewp]

So when does balmorar get his plant tag?

you misspelled "space fantasy vapourware" there. spasims are "for people who likes sci-fi in general", not "skyrim in space... but with procedurally generated plants and animals that still all look roughly the same". that's for casuals and peasants

You won't get your proper "press 67 keys just to start the engines" fun.

hint: pretty much no spasim is like this. we aren't talking about milsims like Falcon 4.0 here. but carry on, keep pretending NMS is somehow superior to ED just because it is more colourful and has "more varied" (lol!) plant/animal life with significantly shallower mechanics

 

[balmorar]

I don't care.

 

[Outlander]

I doubt you will be able to swim in elite.

Oh no! One of the most useless mechanics in video game history won't be present in my space simulator!!!

eh, actually you might be able to, once they release the planetary landings+walking around expansions.

 

[Bradylama]

Can't wait to swim in oceans of methane.

beau baer ‏@beau101023
@NoMansSky Any possibility of something like this ingame?



Sean Murray‏@NoMansSky
@beau101023 yes

 

[Metro]

 

[Drax]

So, the real version comes after the PS4 release, right?
Any specifics on the PC version release?

 

[balmorar]

Yes and no. That's all we know so far: http://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/wiki/archive#wiki_currently_confirmed_features

 

[polo]

This game has "dissapointment" all over it for me. I really hope i'm wrong.

 

[Drax]

Yes and no. That's all we know so far: http://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/wiki/archive#wiki_currently_confirmed_features

thanks.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I have a feeling this game will unfortunately be shit. Anyone remember the original Stalker? Lots of ideas, promise, but they fell far short of their stated goal.

 

[bonescraper]

They really don't have a lot of ideas though. It's just a big space game about nothing at all, it's going to be as deep as The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

I'd be happy if it were like Stalker, which, for all its flaws, was still very impressive, ambitious, and really good in a lot of ways. What I'm expecting though, is Spore 2.0 - lots of features seemingly implemented, but most of them shallow and unfulfilling. Like I said earlier in this thread, developers with years of experience in designing complex systems (like trading should be in a game like this, or faction mechanics) still fuck it up on a regular basis, so I have little faith in a bunch of dudes whose resumes contain nothing but console-centric mediocrity.

Big numbers impress at first until you realize the smokescreen. Case in point Star Control 2. Wow, so much stars, until you realize you are doing the same shit over and over again, searching for tiny drops of content under a sea of filler.

eh, the writing still makes it worthwhile.

Could be worse. Could be SC3.
