I've seen a decent amount of screenshots and a minimal amount of video footage from the streams. Just want to ask, did anyone find any planets as vibrant and colorful as these?



I haven't seen much of what's out there from the leaks it seems, but everything I have seen seems noticeably more muted in tone.

Yeah....the game defintely does not look like this. Maybe after some PC mods, but definitely not stock.

I watched the trailers again yesterday and yeah, I noticed how much better the planets looked in those as opposed to what we've seen in the streams. Hopefully we'll see some trailer-like planets later into the game but I'm not holding my breath.

These are the extreme examples. Stuff like this is in there for sure. I saw one like the second to last pic.
 
Has there been any footage of outside the Euclid galaxy?

Also curious if our warp drives eventually enable us to go past jumping soap systems and jump galaxies. Feels like it may be nier impossible to hit the centre of the universe otherwise.

Excluding some of the structures, the top, bottom and second to bottom have all existed. I've also seen a system where night is crazy purple. This one in the twitch stream is almost trailer quality.
 
I'm a bit disappointed in the animal life. They do not seem to react much to the player and each other. Multiple species are clustered together too often, and i have not seen them do anything apart from moving slowly.

They aren't all the most lively bunch, but I've seen streamers attacked, and animals attacking each other. There is even the "unpredictable" disposition that you generally want to avoid.

Actually yes, quite a few.

But for the most part streamers are hitting the shaded part of planets and some have crappy recording devices so it's not as apparent.

Yeah, i noticed from looking at the tiggles stream and then his pictures how much detail seems to be lost. I mean yeah that always happen with compression but everything looks so fucking mushy on stream.

My one and only remaining concern based off of the streams is that the game will just be too easy. Toxic planets, hot planets, cold planets, etc don't really seem very threatening, nor does alien wildlife.

I agree! I would also like to add that there isn't really a difference between cold, hot, toxic, etc from what I could tell. You have a spacesuit that has built in environmental protection. The environmental protection works like a stamina bar which can be recharged by burning elements or returning to your ship to refile the environmental protection bar. The rate of damage seems to be related to severity of the environment you are in. I don't know if you need an individual upgrade for each environment type, or if it is handled by one upgrade overall to raise your suits resistance.

This is definitely the kind of game where I want to land somewhere and be forced to run away with my tail between my legs, only to come back stronger and ready to claim its resources and secrets.
Click to expand...

This is something else that concerns me. From what I have seen the secrets don't amount to much more than go here and and 'press x' to receive an upgrade, a new word or what have you.

Planet exploration seems to break down to finding these beacons that highlight POIs within a certain radius or maybe even planet wide. Then checking those things out. I feel like it might be interesting to explore the planets at first, but I don't know how long this will keep people's attention. Animal variety seems fine, but animal behaviours seem largely identical. They just kind of roam around mindlessly, and don't really offer anything of value.

Nothing about the gameplay so far suggests that Hello Games spent time making hand crafted experiences for the player that would make these things worth while. The game seems to be constructed out of a number of gameplay systems that create generic experiences. In some ways it kind of looks like the opposite of Shadows of Mordor. A game built around a solid combat mechanic enhanced by the clever use of procedural generation. No Man's Sky seems like a game built around the procedural generation of planets, with some thread bare gameplay mechanics to tie it all together.

Anyway, that's what I've gathered so far. I really want this game to turn out great, but I feel like it just looks to much like a tech demo.

Looking back at these promo images, the graphical fidelity of the recent streams are not nearly at the same level, are they? What you guys think? PC Version, downgrade, or nothing of the sort?

Stream quality to an extent? I have yet to view a stream, either live or archived, in a decent quality.

Your base protection seems to protect you from everything, but you can modify your suit to slow the rate that you need to refill those systems. You can upgrade your suit to negate any of the effects of temperature, toxic etc.

PS4 streaming is bad quality most of the time. Add twitch issues or a capture card with bad upload or bitrate and you get a horrible output. The in game screenshots looks so damn good. The shots in this thread on the previous pages are all PS4 in game, unless crappy off screen rips from streams. You'll know the difference.

Yeah, im not very familiar with how PS4 streaming works, but this makes me happier hehe

Finally someone with the same thinking as me.

Just sounds like some people would like the game if only it wasn't the game it actually is.

Or maybe the game they talked about for years. I have it preordered and I'm pretty sure the guy that I quoted is also getting it. Criticism doesn't always equal shitposting.

Edit: Copy from Amazon has shipped! Guaranteed for release day to boot.

That was always going to be the case. I could tell from the first trailer that the wildlife was going to be boring. They look cool and weird but they have the most basic AI's imaginable.

This game could have been amazing, maybe No Mans Sky 2 will be, who knows.

I mean I know what you're saying, but how long do you want the game to be in development for? It's already a seriously impressive feat for a small independent team to pull off, and then adding complex AI like that (which I can't recall being in any other open world game really).

Perhaps these wish lists of features will get added, Minecraft style, in updates over time. But man, they have to stop coding at some point and ship a game.

Where you act that Amazon already shipped?
 
think I was already gonna buy this game maybe but can someone link me a cool youtube video that will really sell me on it? don't care too much about mild spoilers... just wanna have a reason to get excited
 
The preorder ships and stuff won't matter, will they? Just asking because I'm usually crazy about preorder bonuses, but I'm not sure if I want this on PC, PS4, or both.

Think that the pre order one just comes with a hyperdrive already repaired and looks different, maybe better cannons that's all. Nothing an hour or so won't improve on.

They are almost certainly just taking the date from the about page, which still has the erroneous sentence there.

I really don't think we're going to get an answer at this point until it's either there at midnight on the 9th or not.

Praying to space whale god for this to be true.

Edit: On another note, this last stream quality is really better than the ones before. A lot of nice details I didnt see.
