No Man's Sky

[Gerrard]

I'm seeing some similarities between this and Spore.

The one big difference is that Spore betrayed all expectations, while this doesn't even set any.

We don't have base-building. And the reason is, it would just make people want to stay where they are and not explore.

Why on earth he won't let people to enjoy their game like they themselves see fit? I mean, base building or whatever you call this lego stuff is pretty much the reason I personally like like open world procedural games like Minercraft and Space Engineers.

Even better, getting materials for your base could actually make you want to explore more, in order to to find scarce raw materials etc. Puzzling.

That requires true autism to make lots of systems and simulations that work together.
Not a fancy procedural terrain generator that bamboozles the gullible with how pretty the screenshots are and rakes in the cash.

Very well, you indeed have a valid point. Nevertheless, it is not like Notch would be excactly poor, and also SE has had pretty impressive sales numbers. What I mean, unless you are Tarn Adams and prefer caverns, it is altogether possible to leave basement with the help of money earned by developing complex simulationist stuff with building and all.

In short, it is sad if it boils down to the techinicalities, as in terms of commercial viability, base building would not, I suspect, deter the sales the least bit.

Their whole 'we want to encourage exploration' argument is one of the most retarded things I've read.

So things like base-building: we don't have base-building. And the reason is, it would just make people want to stay where they are and not explore. And we've built this whole huge universe, and that would be a shame! We want them to go out and explore. Or, for instance, each planet could contain loads of different biomes within it, we could have polar ice caps, and all that kind of thing, but then it wouldn't make you want to go and visit other planets. So we don't have that, and that's really purposeful, and that's our kind of vision for the game.

Explore what, if every fucking planet looks the same except in different color and will be interesting for about 30 seconds?

new info

Races have different specializations. Some are more military-focused, others have a more scientific focus and so forth. As a certain type of player you might favor certain races, and since they don’t all get along, you may have to choose who to side with. For instance, if you’re an explorer, you may want to ally yourself with a scientific race, to acquire their technology. They will also like you more by default, because exploring grants you tech, and scientific races like players that have more tech.

The better your standing with the race is, the more options with them you open, like trading, buying ships and weapons, or even receiving things for free if they really like you.

The more you interact with NPCs the better standing you have with their race, as long as your behavior is positive. If you behave like a “jerk” you lower your standing with them.

Aliens speak to you in their alien languages and you have to learn them. You can learn new words by chatting to them or finding relics.

Exploring more allows you to survive better, as you find more technologies and resources. The longer you survive, the more you can access higher level content, like trading, which allows you to gather resources and bring them to an NPC or a space station or trading post.

Protection from extreme cold is another possible suit upgrade, but that protection will eventually wear down and then you’ll start taking damage in a cold planet.

Prepare for this when you find someones planet

Yo mama so No Man's Sky, her mouth suck harder then gravity.

[Direwolf]

At this point I'm starting to get excited about the release of No Man's Sky. Not because I'm going to buy it but because I want to see the reaction to the released game.

One way or another that reaction is going to be epic.

No matter how shit the actual game everyone outside this forum will claim that it is amazing and they already played for 200+ hours and it is the most fun game they ever played.
Special snowflakes will never admit that their little darling turned out to be a turd.

 

[Burning Bridges]

Also with 3 months of preorders they will have sold hundreds of thousands copies when it comes out.
Gamers are so dumb these days that they will buy only because "everyone said it's cool". Still some of the butthurt will be felt in forums etc.

Can this thing be any more boring. He walks around at a glacial pace being completely ignored by the dinosaurs (which look the same on all planets, btw) doing absolutely nothing.
Later on he shoots some spaceships. This game is more like a $60 screensaver than a thing you can play.

Aren't screensavers supposed to be pretty?

 

[Turisas]

Still some of the butthurt will be felt in forums etc.

I for one can't wait. Over at NeoFAG there's some NMS fanatics that'd rival even Makabb here. Gonna be some sweet tears to be had come june.

 

[Makabb]

Is it bad that I enjoy my games ?

 

[Robert Jarzebina]

yes

 

[agentorange]

yes

 

[Burning Bridges]

No, only stupid.

 

[Burning Bridges]

Will you make a LP?

 

[Turjan]

Is it bad that I enjoy my games ?

If you can actually play them, no. If instead you just watch some bearded hipster in a plaid shirt, yes.

 

[Makabb]

Will you make a LP?

Nah

 

[Black]

Because there's nothing to P?

 

[Burning Bridges]

Perhaps he doesnt own a computer.

New interview.

Sean Murray says

We are doing things that technically haven't been done ever before in any video game

the multiplayer will feel like dark souls or journey

when you reach the center of the universe.......... gameplay elements will open up and you will have further reason to play

and a trailer













raw gameplay from last presentation







I have to say the sound effects are phenomenal and top notch.

 

[Makabb]

I predict that when you reach the center of the universe, there will be a portal or something to another universe acting like a NG+ in dark souls.

 

[Black]

Yes, the dark souls of walking sims.

 

[polo]

Lolz ITZ DARK SOULZ IN SPACE!!!!1111!

 

[Xor]

The more I hear them talk about this game, the less inclined I am to believe it will be any good.

 

[Beowulf]

It's because it's the only game with real physics, the other ones' are faked.
In this game, you can see as far as curvature of the planets allow (and the physics rationally explain the 20m details pop-up).

The guy, however technically proficient he is, reminds me of this:

The game has infinite draw distance and infinite procedural soundtrack which creates itself on the fly, that's why you will never run out of new OST in-game.

This guy is a technical wizard, 30 years from now this game will be viewed as revolutionary breaking new grounds in video game and reality.
