Is this game PS4 exclusive?
murgo if you're curious on why it happens the way it does, then the 30 minute NMS BTS video should explain it for you. Hopefully the process is bettered before launch.
They could add procedural ambient music too while they are at it. With a lot of analog synths. I want that good ol' classic scifi sound.Basically what it means is the same thing how early home computers like c64 did the sound effects. You can do it in modern game engines like unity too. You can easily do something like weather sounds, chirps, explosions etc. Pretty sweet stuff.

What moving goalposts? Are you so offended by the fact that people don't love that game that it prevents you from thinking straight anymore?
The trailers for that game do have focus on the large and seamingless world aspect. For some people is that already enough, but other people want more. And yes, just saying there will be some fps, action or trading mechanics isn't enough because it's all about how well the gameplay mechanics are intregrated, while the PVs aren't even trying to show the entire game.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=141509746&postcount=1I said years ago on GameFAQS that 65daysofstatic should make a soundtrack to a video game and was told, "Why would they even want to do that?" Glad to know I'm vindicated. Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest.
Anyways, I'm still excited for the game but am wary not to get my expectations too high. I still need to watch the Game Informer video, but is there a purpose to going to the planets? Are there objectives to complete on them? Is there a "story" mode with beginning and end, even if you can completely ignore it if you want to?
If those are answered in the Game Informer video, great. If not, those are some of the questions I want even a bit of clarification on.
Also worried about how stable it is going to be.

@Icyflamez96:
enlighten us, what else is the game about?
Upgrading the ship? mining minerals? thats what we do to get to new planets...
The gameplay is there (judging by the gi article) its the goal and diversity thats missing.
Well I used "look" in the way that how everything in general feels like, not something related to graphics. I did my research. "what do you even do in the game" was a joke aboutthe people who keep asking the same question. I am sure the guy I quoted was joking too.
If anything I think this is too much info, I like surprises in games and try to go in without knowing much so the experience isn't spoiled beforehand. I like NMS's premise so much that I broke my rule and read and watch everything about it.
It's not CoD it's a (I think) an exploration gameSo what do you exactly do in this game?? Environments look cool but what else?? Is there shooting??
You said the game had no gameplay features. Then you claimed you read the Gameinformer details, and said that the gameplay features weren't interesting. That's moving goalposts. Going from "has no gameplay" to "the gameplay is not interesting to me" is moving a goalpost. Seems to me that if there's someone not thinking straigh here is you.

No, a PC version is coming later.
how did they go from joe danger (no disrespect) to this?!

So its a console exclusive?
I didn't
I'm not even sure why people are so fucking defensive about that game.
Instead of acting like some elitist gamers, maybe some people should accept that "discover" new planets isn't the greatest thing ever for some people and they need other or more gameplay mechanics.
Minecraft without all the gameplay elements would be just an ugly blocky sandbox tool.

The talent (they always had) and the money (that they got with Joe Danger) I guess. The talent gave them the vision and the technical skills to achieve that vision. Money gave them the time to pull everything together.how did they go from joe danger (no disrespect) to this?!
He didn't say the game had no gameplay features. He said that *for some*, exploration for exploration's sake isn't enough and that there needs to be more to it than that. He's not saying there isn't more to it than that, but some people were acting like the sense of exploration should be good enough on its own for people and I think he's disagreeing with that in particular.You said the game had no gameplay features.

Yes, nowhere the claim that No Man's Sky doesn't have any gameplay mechanics outside of the adventure aspect.
I don't trust what devs say before relase ... Remember the things they said about Destiny? I want to see it on release day.
The hype around this game is just a little weird. Normally creative games like this get hyped after relase because they actually deliver on gameplay and stuff. Not with E3 Hype Awards.
I don't believe that crap anymore after the last years
Shit, I think I may start linking people to a tutorial on how to read.

Someone define the term "gameplay" for me. Cause I have seen plenty of gameplay.
Haha, this:
is so funny right now. Lol
Nowhere on your post you clarify that you are talking about the trailers. The only thing you said was that some people want more gameplay features other than exploration.(which imply you think there's none in the first place). Then you tried to do a comparison to it being equal to Minecraft without gameplay features. Which is a pretty terrible comparison to do in the first place if you didn't actually mean to say that NmS has no gameplay features other than exploring.Yes, nowhere the claim that No Man's Sky doesn't have any gameplay mechanics outside of the adventure aspect.
I'm criticizing the fact that the trailers didn't do a good job at showing them.

It's also worth mentioning these guys aren't just some random people with no experience, Joe Danger was not their very first game ever made, just the first game under their own studio.Uhm... Joe Danger was all designed by hand. That takes time. The procedural generation stuff they've shown isn't actually that difficult to do. They're basically just generating the meshes, displace them with a noise and then populate it. The really difficult stuff would be adding things like water, lava, stuff you interact with, allowing to change the environment and so on. And once they add gameplay to what they have, it'll be the same thing, it'll just take time and manpower to figure it out - they'll have to figure out what they can actually do with the worlds they're generating and that's gonna be where the game's gonna get interesting - or not.
Right now - to me - this is purely a tech demo and not a game yet. It's a really nice world generation system that's not super deep at the moment (I wouldn't compare this to Minecraft, where every single goddamn block in the world can be interacted with) and they probably haven't figured out the gameplay stuff yet.
I like that they invite people to dream... but again, this all reminds me very much of the Molyneux kinda thing. "Here, look at this, you're gonna be able to do EVERYTHING!" -> After release: "You can't really do anything."
Some people mentioned that they might show some actual gameplay during the Playstation Experience thing... let's hope that's true.
apparently for people, shooting/hitting something = gameplay.
walking and flying around and exploring isn't gameplay, but shooting something is.

Rifle that is sticking out from the lower part of the screen.
Combat is standard FPS stuff. Some planets have robots (bipedal ones shown, mini at-st's) they want to keep nature untouched. So the more you get resources or kill alien animals the more these things will come at you.
No, it doesn't. You are just misinterpreting what he's saying.Nowhere on your post you clarify that you are talking about the trailers. The only thing you said was that some people want more gameplay features other than exploration.(which imply you think there's none in the first place).

there's an extremely clear and specific 'what' it is, that has been explained in excruciating detail.
If you're confused as to what it is, what the objectives are, how it works, there's a billion articles explaining it in precise terms. There's nothing left to be confused about except 'will it function.'
They are insanely open and at this point I sort of think people are trying not to understand.

This game is just begging for the ablity to create mining operations, create/buy trading stations, and the ablity to colonize worlds. 2 good expansions and this good be a mini-EVE.
Only better because it won't feel like a second job that you have to pay forThis game is just begging for the ablity to create mining operations, create/buy trading stations, and the ablity to colonize worlds. 2 good expansions and this good be a mini-EVE.
Funny that you mention that.
Lets find out if this is true.The thing is people want to see the part where it is the "standard stuff". If the video was ending with a three second segment where you shoot a dinosaur everyone would be completely satisfied.
