What are you talking about? I read the OP. We haven't seen the aspects that it mentions and they will likely be as simple and uninteresting as question marks showing on a radar and you go to the question mark to find a resource. Why are you so pissy and defensive? You expect everyone to blindly think like you?
You'd play this game for the same reason you'd go to a gallery, a museum or an art installation. And if you're too blue-collar pretentious to do any of that shit then this isn't for you and you should go back to your shadow-boxing shooty-shooty-bang-bang.
Imma be havin me a sci-fi pseudo-zoological adventure. And I'll have tons of fun seeing exactly how much variety they're really able to get out of their assets and algorithms. To me, that and the visual feast is plenty of game right there.
Pissy and defensive? Hm clearly your the one who is pretty ignorant not doing research on this. Not willing to learn or to read or not to understand..clearly you have no imagination or curosity in you to find out what there is in the galaxy and even in NMS. That's ok then the game is not for you but saying bullshit like this it makes me even laugh how short sighted a lot are these days.
I'm really bewildered at how defensive NMS fans seem to get in these threads. It's like, cool, you're really into abstract game trailers and finding your own information! But not everyone else is, and I'd argue almost nobody is. When I see a trailer, I expect to get the basic info on a game, and when the trailers don't provide that information yet there are threads on NeoGAF singing its praises and hyping it up, of course I'm going to ask "what's the big deal?" Even more annoying is how many folks seem to equate "wanting some gameplay info" with "Oh, you must only like shootbang double XP regenerating-health killfests! Sorry dudebro, this game ain't for you!"
What makes it even more bizarre is that if these people were really such big fans of NMS, you'd think they'd go out of their way to get people onboard! Yeah, there are the trolls who will just go "oh, well, sounds dumb anyway" once you've explained it, but at least that's one less person who will go around claiming it's just another boring non-game, isn't it?

Amen. Exactly. I was going to express my opinion and leave it at that and then some rabid poster attacked me.
I love games that you explore and figure out what to do. From what I have seen and read about this game this isn't the type of exploring that I would like. I want to figure out things about the planet and wildlife and not just fly over or run past everything until I find a resource. This is what the game seems to be. Lots of planets with little to interact with. If that is what some people enjoy....great for them.
This is exactly what I mean. Someone expresses there opinion and they get berated. What a joke.
People complain about Xbox fanboys, Sony fanboys, and Nintendo fanboys.....No Man's Sky fanboys are the worst.
All I did was say that for some people flying around from planet to planet will be enough. For many others it won't be.
I have no imagination? Where do you come up with this garbage? I am not the one blindly following the herd proclaiming this to be the game of forever when it is made by a small team and can in no possible way make this into the game that people are describing.
I read everything there is to read about the game but I live in reality. Let's see some examples of how trading or resource gathering works before proclaiming this game to be the best thing ever.
From what I have seen...anyone that expresses doubt in this game gets attacked and insulted. Pathetic.
Thanks for the God Is An Astronaut recommendation. Amazing stuff.
I think that the main problem is that you used the post of someone that seems to have been concern trolling since a while in this threads and keeps using the desingenious excuse of "why did they don't tell us before" while many of that information was in the wild.
So now there are fanboys? What? Clearly this isn't the game for you.
There are numerous threads now about NMS containing all the details from gameinformer. Again it has been said many many times in many many threads about every detail and not understanding what the game does then i cannot help you. It has been explained by Hello games.
Here read everything said in the gameinformer thread watch the half hour video on youtube.

There's quite obviously more to the game than that, I don't understand why you're being so persistently obtuse about that. In order to meet the ultimate objective in the game, which is to head to the center of the universe, you will need to gather the necessary resources but more than that you will have to get by obstacles along the way as well - whether that's other ships or the "robot" AI's or the sentient beings that watch over each planet's ecosystem. And yes, possibly other player characters.This is exactly what I mean. Someone expresses there opinion and they get berated. What a joke.

Let's just stop with this. Again, I have read everything about the game. I have seen the bulletpoint list posted in many places. We have not seen any examples of trading in the game. We have not seen examples of other things mentioned on the list. It could just be bare bones boring gameplay for all we know. People want to see resource gathering, trading, etc. That is all. I will leave it at that. Quit acting like people haven't seen the list.
Missed this one, is there any way to watch it for those late to the party?

I think a large part of the game will indeed be the exploration, but people insisting that's all there is to it are starting to grate on people's nerves. The info is out there, folks. Shit, a ton of it is in the OP of this thread.
Classic. You claim your questions aren't being answered while you clearly downplay the full breadth of what the game has stated it will offer. Yeah, "space" and "exploration"...and "trading", and "combat", "cataloging", "artifacts", "sharing discoveries"...but WHAT DO I DO, MAN? WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?Key points being "space" and "exploration". Thanks. Covered that already, and isn't what some folks were asking about.
I wonder how this game will evolve through time.
Let's say I manage to find another player, I would certainly ask him/her to move together from that point. And then we find another, and another and so on. Months or even years later, we settle down on a suitable planet, name it and establish a colony.
If things like this have a chance happening...man. I'll probably never stop playing this game.
Someone needs to find a tracklisting for this set ASAP
Anyone able to come up with a set list?
In the PSX interview, Sean said that the actual worlds aren't saved anywhere. The environment "bubble" is generated around you from the seed but as soon as you leave the area, it's gone. Next time you or somebody else comes to the same place, it's just generated again from scratch. You can name things you find but that's really only thing that's recorded. But you definitely can hang around in one place forever and find resources or fight robots or animals. You just can't change anything or leave anything to there. This is definitely not a negative thing and encourages the exploration aspect.
The actual planets aren't saved anywhere, no, but they've said that big changes - like you wiping out an entire species or mining all the resources in an area - will be shared with other players When a new player visits that planet it will be generated from scratch, yes, but with such major changes applied to it.
Maybe that's just the state of gaming today? You drop somebody into the world, they ask, 'What do I do?' You say, Explore. 'Yeah but what's the point?'. Do whatever you want. 'Yeah but like, what is it about?'
When I look at NMS, I look at it from an imaginative state. Maybe I'll be a space pirate for a while, destroying and looting as many space stations/carriers as I can. Maybe I'll just move cargo from one area to another and profit from that. Or maybe I'll spend alot of time on planets exploring, seeing if I can find any hidden portals and what not. It's not about having a little quest marker saying 'Go here, do that', it's about playing how you want.

Anyone? I only became aware of this band at the Game Awards. I've listened to a ton of their stuff since then, but I'm not familiar enough to name the songs.
Let's just stop with this. Again, I have read everything about the game. I have seen the bulletpoint list posted in many places. We have not seen any examples of trading in the game.

What's that unknown song?
Thanks!
bless you
can anyone give give a time stamp for rewatching?
Posted in another thread, but it's relevant here:
The fact that it's taken THIS long to find out what the hell you actually do in this game says a lot. No disrespect, but it's a huge failure on the dev's part for not clearly articulating something so simple as what the point of the game is and what players do in it. Over and over, all we've seen are trailers of you just walking or flying around aimlessly, without purpose or reason. Why have they waited until now to explain the overall point? Why are devs so inept and so incapable when it comes to explaining their own games?
If the devs have been as clear about explaining the game's premise as some of you so claim, then why do people continue as to ask such basic questions about it, this far after it being announced? You don't see that happen with other games. To me, that illustrates they have done an exceptionally poor job at truly showing their game and telling us what it's really about.
This is precisely why I never understood the hype and excitement. Now that we do know a little more on what you do, sure, it sounds interesting. I just think folks should keep their hype in check or else they will be thoroughly disappointed.
Agreed. People have unfairly overhyped a game made by a small team.
A ton of people are going to be severely disappointed when they see how limited the actual gameplay is. Some people on the other hand will love simply flying from planet to planet and just looking at things.
People have insane expectations for this game. Glad people are excited but this won't end well for most.
The actual planets aren't saved anywhere, no, but they've said that big changes - like you wiping out an entire species or mining all the resources in an area - will be shared with other players When a new player visits that planet it will be generated from scratch, yes, but with such major changes applied to it.
We don't know that. So no point coming in here to try and shit in everyone's cheerios when we're just speculating.How do you even know that you can do those things? Playing how you want? What if you can't play in the manner that you are suggesting and resources are marked with markers that basically say go here?
I'm truly expecting a 2016 release dates. From the last decade of watching games be announced and then release it seems unlikely for this to be a 2015 release. Just like how I do not expect any games announced this year's E3 to be announced in 2016. Early 2017 at the earliest.
I think it will release mid 2015. It's clearly already up and running and not a single person is working on building anything. All they're doing is adding assets to be rendered on the fly by their algorithms. I'm sure once the game is out, they'll add more assets to allow more variety. Everything in this game is procedurally rendered: music, animal sounds, animals, planets, spaceships ... everything. All they'll be doing is tightening the code right now ready to ship.
Really? For some reason that message isn't coming across to me. They got some algorithms and concepts completed but if this game is truly massive I would imagine that there are still a lot of things to get done like AI, narratives, servers, etc. (not saying that it is impossible to complete all of this by 2015 but if bugs and problems occur I would rather have them push back the release date than force a release)
Perhaps late 2015 but if there are a lot of AAA games coming out holiday '15 then it might force their hand for a nice Spring '16 release.
