No Man's Sky

[Makabb]

new info

we’ve only just landed on a new world and already we’ve misplaced our ship. “It’s a ballache; I like that,” says Hello Games managing director Sean Murray

Murray reluctantly executes a bipedal leporidae-like – “I hate doing this, because I’m a hippy” – to demonstrate the consequences. A floating drone floats into view and attacks, and as Murray continues to slaughter the local fauna, the number of bots increases. A wanted level fills as the situation worsens, and eventually the game summons towering walking drones to the fray. Destroying any drone makes you money, so if your equipment’s good and you aren’t ecologically minded, you can rampage your way across galaxies without bothering to contribute to the collective encyclopedia. Murray’s rage isn’t sufficient, however, and he succumbs to a barrage of lasers.

Your multi tool can be upgraded by adding alien technologies (which you’ll discover and combine throughout your travels) to a grid menu that represents the tool’s innards, and placing similar techs next to each other offers further performance boosts. Your scanner, for example, starts out as a short-range directed beam, but with the right tech can become a wide-reaching pulse that emanates out from you. The improved scanner can also detect resources buried beneath the surface or in rocks, and you can then use your laser to mine them.

your ship can be upgraded in a similar manner to your multitoo

If you’d prefer to put down roots, you could theoretically spend all of your time exploring, mining and trading from just a single planet (every example being “planet-sized”, Murray stresses

Another aspect that hasn’t been discussed in detail before are the various day/night cycles that you’ll encounter on each strange new world. Seeing the night make its way across the surface of a sphere as you descend into its atmosphere for the first time is a stirring sight. We head into the dark to land, and Murray apologises in advance – it’s Sod’s law, he says, that this unexplored planet will “look ugly” when we touch down. He couldn’t be more wrong.

The darkness encourages new creatures onto the blue-tinged savannah and the grass sways in the soft light of a sky-filling moon.

Trailers show same thing over and over, wait for the game.

Hey idiot: maybe they wouldn't need to show the same thing over and over if there was something else for them to show.

Sean is scared of spoiling people almost to a fault, he wants to show you the least amount possible while still hyping the game because he is idealistic and wants you to explore. Something he has mentioned in a few of the interviews is the planets he is showing are the outer rim planets, these are the easy normal planets people will start on on the very outside of the Galaxy. The closer you get to the center the more strange weird and dangerous the planets get.

The media support for this game is insane.

sony wants this to be big for some reason

 

[Lyric Suite]

Yeah, right.

 

[Makabb]

New vid, seems the graphics were improved, the starships looks awesome.

 

[Makabb]

Hype intensifies

 

[Alienman]

Pink Flamingos.. never thought I was going to have to see that scene again, thanks

 

[theSavant]

I'm bored of always seeing the same videos... wasn't there a special event announced this month?

Fake Edit: ah, I knew it:

No Man's Sky 90-Minute Exclusive Preview Happening on October 3; Sean Murray Confirms to Reveal Exact Details

http://www.vcpost.com/articles/8937...e-preview-happening-october-3-sean-murray.htm

Haven't found any videos yet...

New vid, seems the graphics were improved, the starships looks awesome.

they're still on prebaked "demos"? they still don't have a playable prototype?! lol!!!

 

[Makabb]

What? He is playing it.

Here is a new vid from today, almost the same but you can see he is playing it because it is different than one from yesterday.

Why is this getting so damn much attention? Huge pr push or media darling for some reason?

 

[Night Goat]

They've promised a game that a lot of people want. A massive open-world space game full of planets to discover and explore sounds really cool, and people want it so much that they're ignoring the realities of the situation - that it isn't a realistic thing for a team of 4 people to do, especially since none of them seem to know what you'll actually do in the game.

When you spend millions on marketing you tend to get results.

It's a 10 man team, not 4.

They don't have millions for marketing.

It's an unknown company and an unknown dude, it must be sony behind this as they touted this a ps4 exlcusive.

 

[praetor]

he is not. you can clearly see the player character moving on the screen in the background while he's not moving his fingers at all during some segments. so unless they somehow implemented mind-control into the PS4, he's not playing it, he's just pretending...

... just like this screensaver is pretending to be a game

 

[potatojohn]

He even pretends like he doesn't know what he'll find in these presentations

stupid or trolling? If you watch the 2nd vid from the next day you can see the same presentation played out differently.

You can already tell from the first asteroid because there is a different hole blown in it.

dream sale. It is amazing game in concept but for all who actually know somewhat gamedev we all know that procedurally created world after few systems will be "samey" in long run and will be forgotten in annals when all of us will switch to "games" instead of walking simulators.

Still some people like me will switch it on from time to time and try to find new planet walk 15 minutes on it and switch it off.


Pretty much Space Engine with ships and limited gameplay + creatures and flora.

This is space engine:

 

[Makabb]

I spent hours in Space engine and there is basicaly nothing apart from procedural planets, No Man's Sky is easily 100+ hours game.

Yeah but people looking for "game" should look elsewhere. Same with No Mans Sky, game will feature some gameplay but will be probably extremely limited.
