Most definitely. I wonder if their next game will use this tech as well and how. This would be fantastic for other open world games as well. And the action/flow of the game would feel so much more natural w/out asset loading or any loading in general. Pretty damn amazing once you think about it, good post.I think this tech could be applied in a lot of ways beyond a game simulating the universe for space exploration. If you think about how crazy it is to not need to pack the disc/install with assets and still have a near-limitless gameworld in X, Y, Z terms it truly is an accomplishment.
Like, these guys are using the procedural output tech to simulate the rules of our actual galaxies/observable universe in reality, but there's no need for that to be the only use case.
You could have a procedural roguelike that takes place inside a computer system/digital world and in some cases you wouldn't even have to mask the pop-in at all if it fit the lore, and crank up the volume on all the other aspects. Or you could have a Journey-ish game that took place in a totally abstract reality.
The biggest advantage by far, completely outpacing any other factor, is that the technique eliminates loading screens. Yes, there are many tradeoffs due to the fact that you're not loading a hand-crafted level with unbelievably high-res texture work and crazy custom animation and so on, but for certain types of games not having to load is such an enormous asset and key part of the fun.
Golden plants like the plants gave you gold, the element?Few more hours in and I'm rocking with my hyperdrive.
Found some terrible toxic planet with golden plants, almost died going crazy farming them until I found a deep cave to hide in until the toxic storm passed.
Yup mine is thursday as well i just ordered the digital version and will return my LE once it arrives because by the time it gets here i will be ready to move on to the PC version.Mine got updated to Thursday shipping lmao and I ordered back in March and hit "release day shipping"
I'd check or contact customer chat to make sure it's coming tomorrow at this point
Fucking ridiculous and during the chat they said they sent me an email to confirm I still wanted it back in June , they lied lol
This is my last year on prime, 5th year has been worst year for me on prime
My friend and I were just thinking last night that it'd be awesome to have a fantasy sailing game built with this tech. Just an endless ocean with islands and fantastical ruins and stuff to find.

Keep an eye out for Astroneer later this year. Does the weather and man versus nature even better IMO, going by footage

Back off! Hes mine!I think I might be in love with Sean Murray.
GameSpot stream just said 60fps.
If you want spiritual company, I have technically bought this game three times to play it a few hours early.

Yeah see, that's a great example especially if you designed the game with the conceit that the whole planet was flooded. Making a game that takes place just on a single earthlike planet could be tricky because of the level of detail we might expect but if you do something clever like that- say, there are only a few, totally unrecognizable continents left on the whole surface- such a design could fit perfectly with procedural tech.My friend and I were just thinking last night that it'd be awesome to have a fantasy sailing game built with this tech.

I don't think there's anything spoilers in the gif above but if anyone has an issue, I'll edit it out and unembed.
Found this out earlier. If you melee, you do a small lunge. If you melee and then use the jetpack at the same time, you'll get a nice boost in speed that is much faster that sprinting.
I can't 100% say yet but I think if you sprint, melee and then jetpack, you'll go ever further.
Gif above is just one example of it - I've managed to go a lot further that I haven't capped yet.

Goes through GoG so it just deals with updates.
It wasn't Danny was it. I really like him.
I ordered the Explorer's Edition on PC like 40 years ago, ordered the boxed PS4 from Amazon with the Prime deal last week, and bought it digital on the PSN store yesterday. Chasing that midnight.How's that? Are there even three versions of this game?
I'm in for two I guess. Weird how the PC version gets some kind of upgraded spaceship as a pre-order deal, where the PS4 gets some avatars. Getting an upgraded starter ship sounds like something I don't even know if I'd want.

I was doing this too. It's good covering lots of land and big gaps, but it's practically game breaking where enemy encounters are concerned. You can easily get away from anything.
How is this game only 7 gigs or whatever?
Because is not a bunch of hand crafed assets/worlds and just mostly algorithms that generate the world. A game this scale with everything hand crafted like most games would take up more discs than we could produce.How is this game only 7 gigs or whatever?

A gold seam in a cave, I'd rather guess. I've seen that in a stream I was watching.Golden plants like the plants gave you gold, the element?
I have a theory on why theres such confusion about the framerate.
Maybe it was closer to 60 before the patch, but in an effort to improve the dynamic lights, reduce the pop in, and up the texture rez, they just conceded and locked it to a hard 30 for the patch.
I preordered the game on PSN and it seems to have pre loaded but the file size reads 3.8Gbs.....I thought the game was 6Gbs...

Assuming I enjoy the game, I will give the PS4 disc copy away in some manner of contest
